THERESA WIGHT
November 22, 2013
THERESA (TERRY) WIGHT (nee KISS) It is with deepest regrets that we announce the passing of Terry Wight on Friday, November 22, 2013 at the young age of 90 years. She was predeceased by her husband Jack Wight in 1984. Terry was born in Bruno, Saskatchewan to Joseph and Annie Kiss on August 27, 1923. Terry came from a large family of 13 brothers and sisters. In her late teens she moved to Winnipeg, to start her adult life. Here Terry met her best friend and love of her life, Jack over breakfast at the local cafe. They were happily married for 36 years. Together they enjoyed vacationing in Mexico, weekends at the Lake, games of scrabble, fine dining, visiting with mutual friends and spending holidays with her sister Margaret and family and Jack’s parents Ma and Pop Wight. Terry was a long time employee of Court of Queen’s Bench, until she retired at age 65. She spent most of her retirement years travelling the world. Terry visited many exotic places (sometimes twice) and loved each one for their people, history and culture. When not travelling, she spent her time walking the Parks and Streets of St. James where she met and became friends with many fellow walkers and their pets. At the end of a walk Terry would stop at her favorite Tim’s for coffee and conversation. Somewhere in between all this activity, she found time to read her beloved books and debate politics with anyone interested. The St. James Library was her favorite place and her library card her best investment. Saturday Lunches with her sister Margaret and husband Nick (deceased) and her sister Anne, were a welcome treat. Wife, Sister, Aunt and Friend, she will be missed. Our lives are richer for having known and loved her. It was Terry’s wish not to have a Funeral Service. You are invited to visit Terry and her Husband Jack in St. James Cemetery on Portage Avenue. Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, 204-897-4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on December 07, 2013
