NEAR OAKBANK A Manitoba woman is remembering her aunt who died this week in a COVID-19 outbreak at a Transcona care home. Park Manor has been hit hard by the virus in recent weeks. Anne Kawecki, who was 96, is one of at least 13 people who’ve died. Kawecki’s being remembered by her niece as a strong-willed person who loved animals. Just before the pandemic hit, Candace Cook took her aunt to visit Craig Street Cats where they spent time with many of its inhabitants. “That’s what I have left.

Even though she was blind I would run alongside side her and tell her to turn left or turn right.”
