Gertrude A. Guralski

Gertrude A. Guralski (G.G.), 95, formerly of Hatley, was born to a new life in Jesus Christ, Saturday October 26, 2013, at Kennedy Park Medical and Rehabilitation Center, Weston.

She was united in Marriage to the love of her life, Clarence Guralski Sr. on August 8, 1942, at St. Therese Catholic Church, Rothschild. She now is reunited with him in their heavenly home as Clarence preceded her in death November 17, 1992. Gertrude's focus in life was her husband and children. She reveled in the delight that comes from being a grandmother and great-grandmother. Their visits brought smiles and sunshine to her heart. The grandchildren fondly remember her knack for finding four leaf clovers with ease. Through the years, Gertrude enjoyed many interests and among her favorites were fishing and camping with family. Gertrude had been a member of St. Florian Catholic Church, Hatley and their Rosary Society. Survivors include three children, Beverly A.
