Our Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Rita, passed away on Thursday, November 24, 2022, in the Dauphin Personal Care Home, at the age of 91. She was born January 23, 1931, to Louis and Alida (Tessier) Hubert in Dauphin, Manitoba. She was the youngest of 7 children, with her family lovingly nicknaming her Babe.
As a young girl Mom was raised on the family farm near Stoney Point Beach. She especially enjoyed working alongside her brother Alex. He continued to share a big part of her life.
She met Peter at a very young age in the neighboring Ripon District and were married on July 6, 1949. They settled on a farm in the area and raised a family of 5 girls and 2 boys. Together mom and dad enjoyed visiting family, dancing and socializing at community events, and the winter card parties. Mom was a homemaker and a hard-working wife and mother, which was a characteristic passed onto her children. There was always more than enough food on the table, even for unexpected company.
Mom was a 4-H member and leader of the Stoney Point Beach/Dauphin Plains 4-H Club. She began working in 1976 at Woolworths, Woolco and Walmart for many years.
In her retirement she was an amazing gardener, avid bowler and enjoyed quilting with the Dauphin Plains Quilting Club. Mom had time to be more active in the Church, joining the Catholic Women’s League, bible study and becoming a Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist with the St. Luke’s Society of St. Viator’s.
When they left the farm and moved into Dauphin, life progressed with Mom becoming Dad’s primary caregiver. When Dad passed in 2003, she spent more with her activities and time with family.
She was predeceased by her parents, her siblings - Eva Rondeau, Clara Kostiew, Evelyn Bertnick, Alexander(Alex) Hubert, Antonio(Tony) Hubert, Ida Doucette and her husband Peter of 54 years, son-in-law Larry Panagapko.
She will be lovingly remembered and survived by her 7 children, Cynthia (Victor), Lorraine (Jack), Barbara, Grant (Lynnette), Linda (Michael), Enid, Philip (Brenda), along with 15 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. Along with many nieces and nephews.
