<div itemprop="description">Gisela M. S. Alcantara <br>May 21, 1959 - September 13, 2016 <br> <br>It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved sister, mother, and dear friend, on Tuesday, September 13, at the age of 57 years. She was predeceased by her father, Anastacio Jr.; and grandmother, Teodora. She will always be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her mother, Gloria; brothers, Anastacio III, Enrique, Claro, Dino and his wife Jennifer; and daughter, Jessica; along with countless other family and friends who were blessed to know her. <br>Gisela was born on May 21st, 1959, in Manila, Philippines. She lived with her family in Quezon City until 1971, when they immigrated to Canada and settled in Kenora, Ontario. After graduating high school from Beaver Brae Secondary School, Gisela moved to Winnipeg to complete her post-secondary education. The rest of the family eventually relocated to Winnipeg as well. <br>Gisela enjoyed exploring the city, gardening, music, the arts, shopping, travel, and most of all, spending time with her family and friends. <br>Gisela's family would like to give special mention and thanks to the WFPS, WPS, Health Sciences Centre, and Chapel Lawn for their compassion and professionalism. <br>Family and friends are invited to attend a Lamay (wake) on Friday, September 23, 2016 from 6:00pm to 11:30pm, and a memorial service on Saturday, September 24 at 10:00am.
