She was predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Richard Tomaszewski. She is survived by her daughters, Annalisa (Jeremy) Tomaszewski, Theresa (Kelly) Lerner and Stephanie (Jeremiah) Lehr. Left to cherish her memory are her five grandsons, Ashton and Tyson Lerner, Ethan, Brody and Levi Lehr and her siblings, Ed (Sharon) Mastel, Ben (Theresa) Mastel, Leo (Jackie) Mastel, Allan (Brenda) Mastel, Rose Ann (Darren) Rud and their families. Mom also leaves her sister-in-law, Zenia (Joe) Malinski and her family and brother-in-law, Marion Tukiendorf, all of Chicago, Ill. Aside from her husband, Mom was predeceased by her parents, Egnotz and Lagatha Mastel; in-laws, Roman and Anna Tomaszewski; and nieces, Addison Mastel and Lisa Riznyk. Mom was born April 30th, 1952, in Medicine Hat and grew up on the family farm in Conquerville, Alberta. After graduation she moved to Medicine Hat where she met Dad, and they were married in 1972. Mom and Dad moved to LA for a brief time, returned to Medicine Hat and then Redcliff where they started their family. In 1993, they moved back to Medicine Hat where they continued to make many memories together until their individual passings. Following a fall in November ’24, Mom moved to Good Sam’s where she resided until undergoing surgery in July, which, she was unable to recover from and was moved to St Joseph’s Home where she passed away with her daughters by her side. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many doctors and nurses who cared for Mom over the past year at the Medicine Hat Hospital and Good Sam’s. We are especially grateful to all the compassionate staff at St Joseph’s who made Mom’s final three weeks as comfortable and peaceful as possible.
