Frank Wilzewski passed away peacefully on December 12, 2017, at the Drumheller Health Centre at the age of 92 years. Frank was deceased by his loving wife of 53 years, Hannelore, brothers Rudolf and Heinrich, and sisters Emilie and Maria.
Frank will be lovingly remembered by his sons Hubert (Jill), Reinhold (Esther) and their families; sister Gertrud, family members in Germany and friends. Frank loved his garden and kept their yard in the Greentree subdivision meticulous for 40 years. He enjoyed his daily walks along the river until his final days. McConkey Park was changed from a vacant lot to the park it is now by Frank in the early 1960's.
In respect to Frank's wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation (Acute Care). Courtney-Winter's Funeral Homes are in care of the arrangements.
The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Racz, Dr. Tlhape, Dr. Mateer, and the nursing staff at the Drumheller Health Centre, the staff of Hillview Lodge, and his many special friends. Special thanks to Lynn Zacharuk for her years of assistance and friendship.
