1928-2022 ~ Mrs. Jennie Julia Psikla of Red Deer Alberta passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at the age of 93 years.
Jennie was born in Strongfield, Saskatchewan and later moved to Alberta, where she met her soulmate, Joe who she married in 1949.
They worked on the family farm until they retired to Red Deer in 1991.
Jennie loved music and played in a family band with her husband, sister, and two brothers-in-law. They entertained generations of people in the community, playing old time music for many wedding dances and social functions for over fifty years.
She was employed by West Country Family Services, as a Homecare Aide for over ten years in the Eckville Area. Jennie volunteered for the Catholic Women's League both in Sylvan Lake and Red Deer. She loved the Lord and always put her family and friends ahead of her own needs or desires.
