1956 – 2025
Mrs. Arla Jean Syslak passed away peacefully, with family by her side, at the Innisfail Health Care Centre on January 17, 2025.
She was born in Minnedosa, Manitoba on June 21, 1956, where she grew up, married David Syslak and started a family. She spent the majority of her adult years in the Community of Innisfail, Alberta building a beautiful life. Arla worked in the Insurance Industry for twenty-five years as a manager for Freeman Insurance Agency. She met and helped numerous people within the Community, she had a real skill with clients and enjoyed being a help to all those that needed her.
Arla had a lifelong love of reading and cherished her family more than anything. She was very proud of the accomplishments of her children and their families. Arla loved being a Nana to her grandchildren and had a special connection with each of them.
The person she cherished most in life was her best friend and love, David Syslak, married for over fifty years. They met as young kids and have experienced their whole lives together. A true love story.
Arla is lovingly remembered by her husband David Syslak, eldest son Michael (Tammy) Syslak, grandsons, Ethan and Maximus of Slave Lake, Alberta, the youngest son Patrick (Cherity) Syslak and grandson, Grayson of Red Deer, Alberta, her sister Judy McRuer, her brother Darin Scotland of Boissevain, Manitoba and many more extended family members and friends.
As per Arla's wishes, no service will be held but she would love us to all toast to her life and remember the great times we had with her.
