Dana Lynn Winslow Kurpaska, 41, of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, passed away unexpectedly Friday, April 29, 2011 after a brief illness. Born March 31, 1970 in Syracuse, New York, Dana grew up in North Syracuse, and then moved to Baldwinsville and later to Ontario, Canada, where she spent the last 12 years. Dana was devoted to her daughter Alicja and husband Stephen Haskins. She was invaluable as Health and Safety Systems Manager at Field Aviation, Toronto, Ontario, where she earned a reputation for exceptional knowledge and professionalism within her field. Dana's adventurous spirit and joy of life made her a friend to all who knew her.

Dana is survived by her husband, Stephen; daughter, Alicja; parents, Bill and Sue Winslow from San Diego, CA, sister, Suzanne Denny (Mark) from Scotia, NY, aunts, uncles, niece, nephews, and cousins from as far away as Texas and California.

Dana loved to travel and spend time with family. She recently congratulated and wished well her nephew, William Denny, who is now deployed as a US Marine on the US Bataan Naval Carrier stationed near Libya. Her greatest concern was for his safety. Dana will be missed and loved by those she touched.
