GOLETSKI, Antoinette Louise (Hacault)

—

Antoinette (Toni) was born in Bruxelles, Manitoba November 03, 1917 and passed away peacefully May 31, 2014 in Kelowna, B.C. in her 96th year.

Predeceased by her parents Charles (1958) and Elisabeth (1989) Hacault (Lanouette), by her husband Frank (1997) and her daughter Rusti Clayton (2014). Survived by her brother Phil (Rose) Hacault, Olympia, Washington, Toni’s strength and character will be lovingly remembered by her children; Ed (Eva), Winnipeg, Man.; Veronica Schnell, Kamloops, B.C.; Larry (Roberta), Kenora, Ont. and Richard (Deborah), Comox, B.C. She leaves a cherished legacy of six grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Antoinette was the middle child in a farming family of 13 children. At a young age, Toni assumed the responsibilities of caring for her younger brothers until she married Frank Goletski on June 14, 1941 in Tolstoi, Manitoba. She raised her own family of five children on a farm near Tolstoi in a community where her first language (French) was not spoken. She loved to sing and was a member and director of her local church choir and worked as a nurse’s aide in rest homes in Winnipeg, Ladner and Kelowna.

    I am so sorry to hear that both your mom and sister have passed away. Although I have not seen any of you, except Ed and Eva, I often think of us going to #2 school and the fun we had.
    Memories will always be there.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
