Gloria Ann Molnar
June 18, 1949 - November 28, 2025
Gloria Ann Molnar was born on June 18, 1949, in Manitoba and passed away peacefully on November 28,2025, surrounded by love. Gloria was a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother, and a deeply caring friend whose kindness and selflessness touched everyone who knew her.
Gloria had a quiet strength about her. She was gentle, thoughtful, and always put others before herself. She had a natural way of worrying about everyone she loved and made sure they always felt cared for.
Over the years, her shy nature grew into a confidence and spunk that brought laughter and warmth to those around her.
Gloria shared her life with her husband, Frank Molnar, in a partnership shaped by loyalty, love, and a lifetime of shared experiences. Together, they navigated life’s challenges and joys side by side, balancing each other with honesty and humour, along with a spirited banter that was distinctly their own. Frank was Gloria’s constant. He was her teammate, her steady presence, and the one who stood beside her as they built their life together.
Together they enjoyed golfing, traveling, and spending cherished time at Christina Lake with family and with friends in Chandler, Arizona. Golf became one of Gloria’s passions, not for perfection, but for the friendships, laughter, and joy it brought her.
After moving to Pinawa, Gloria found a deep sense of belonging and friendship that meant so much to her. Through the local golf community, she formed lasting bonds with an incredible group of people who brought laughter, companionship, and genuine care into her life. Among them were Don and Sandy, whose friendship became especially meaningful and whose kindness and support, particularly in the later chapters of Gloria’s life, meant more than words can express.
She also cherished the friendships she built with the women she golfed with. She enjoyed afternoons on the course, going for coffee, and playing Chase the Ace. These simple moments were filled with camaraderie, humour, and connection. These friendships were a true gift to Gloria and to our family.
Family meant everything to Gloria. She was an extraordinary mother to her daughter, Marina, whose life is a reflection of Gloria’s love, strength, and sacrifice. Gloria gave selflessly and always put her daughter’s needs before her own. She encouraged Marina to be involved, to be confident, to try new things, and to believe in herself, even when it meant personal sacrifice. Gloria was a steady source of support, reassurance, and unconditional love, shaping Marina into the person she is today.
Gloria also shared a deeply special bond with her niece Heather, whom she loved like a daughter and was always a second mother to. Heather’s husband, Cory, also formed a close and meaningful relationship with Gloria that was built on warmth, mutual respect, and genuine affection. Their connection was one of love and ease, and it meant so much to Gloria to be held in such regard.
Gloria adored her grandchildren Emily, Dylan, Carter, and Payton beyond measure. They were her greatest joy and her deepest source of gratitude, and she cherished every visit, phone call, text message, and update. Staying closely connected to their lives meant everything to her. She was immensely proud of each and every one of them.
A kid at heart, Gloria had a lifelong love of Disney, and in the last couple of years of her life, her beloved dog Minnie filled Gloria and Frank’s home with joy, companionship, and so much laughter.
Gloria also found peace in gardening and caring for her lawn, often watching Minnie chase her ball in the backyard. In her working life, Gloria was known as a second mom to many, offering kindness, support, and a listening ear.
Gloria was predeceased by her parents William and Kay Wozney, her sisters Mildred and Sandra, and her brother-in-law Lawrence.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband Frank, her daughter Marina, her stepson Randy and his wife Cindy, her niece Heather and her husband Cory, and her grandchildren Emily and Dylan Schellenberg, and Carter and Payton Bibeau.
Gloria leaves behind a legacy of love, humour, and a heart that gave endlessly. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
A memorial service will be held at a later date, with details to be shared once arrangements are finalized.
