KUBU, Irene Mae (nee Oswald) -

It is with great sadness that the family of Irene Mae Kubu (nee Oswald) announces her passing on Thursday, May 23, 2013 in Grimsby, ON.

Born in Waterloo on April 15, 1924 to the late Nelda and Oscar Oswald, Mae is survived by her husband of 67 years Edward Kubu and siblings Jean Piper (Roy 2002), Ken Oswald (Dolly) and John Oswald (Shirley). Her ready laugh and sense of humour was passed on to her daughters - Anne (Bruce Krushelnicki) and Mary (Ralf Himmrich) and grandchildren Rachel, Joseph, Riley and Curtis.

Mae married Edward Kubu in 1945 just after Ed returned from the war. They had met a few years before at the Waterloo band shell and had a long distance romance while he was overseas. Mae learned to embrace Ed's outdoor lifestyle with frequent family camping/canoeing trips in northern Ontario - especially Killarney Provincial Park.

Mae was known for her homemade pies with freshly picked berries while on such trips and more than once shared a berry patch with a bear while picking. She managed the office for United Step and Metal Products outside Hamilton for many years and enjoyed travelling to the UK and Europe as well as winters in South Carolina. She was a woman who loved the challenge of crosswords, was interested in current events and was a mean Scrabble player - but most important a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

The family would like to express its gratitude to Mae's wonderful Winona neighbours and the caring staff at WLMH.

No funeral is planned.

Cremation has taken place and in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Grimsby, ON. www.wlmh.on.ca.
