AUDRE GRACE SKURA (nee LASKOWICH) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, at the age of 87, on Sunday, March 18, 2012 at the Grace Hospital. Left to cherish her memory are her three sons, Greg (Yvonne), Gerry (Marie) and Sydney; five grandchildren, Natalie (Steve Sample), Amy (Shawn Baraniuk), Neal (Melinda), Nicole (Stephen Kanters) and Mitchell; step-granddaughter, Alexa Cartwright; and five great-grandchildren Mackenzie, Parker, Noah, Everett and Riley; sister Waldemera (Peter Goshulak); sister-in-law, Stella Laskowich, and brother Ezydor (Laurele). Also sisters-in-law Ollie Skura, Helen Dyer; brother-in-law Nick (Emma) Skura, and loving niece, Joann Quigg. She was predeceased by her husband, Harry (in 1995); brother, Herman (in 2006), and grandson, Matthew (in 2009). Born in Norquay, SK in 1924 to Louis and Annie Laskowich, she was the oldest of four children. She attended school in Norquay, Hudson Bay Junction and Sacred Heart Academy in Yorkton, SK. Audre came to Winnipeg to attend a business course, wanting to be a nurse, and was accepted at St. Boniface Hospital but was discouraged due to length and expense. She met Harry, was married in 1944 and they enjoyed 50 years of marriage together. While raising three sons, she devoted most of her time to the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League. As a founding family of St. Basil's Ukrainian Catholic Church, Audre served as President of the Women's League and volunteered at the Holy Family Home. As the boys grew older, Audre and Harry enjoyed traveling, with especially fond memories of Rome, Fatima, Lourdes and other European countries. Part of a close-knit group, they hosted many evenings of cards and conversation. Employed at Lucerne Foods for many years, she then volunteered at the Deer Lodge Centre (over 20 years) and enjoyed watching her family grow. Fondly referred to as Baba, she looked forward to visits from her grandchildren. Her door was always open and they loved her delicious meals and wonderful baking. She was blessed to have a close, loving relationship with her five great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by her many friends at the parish; she attended the spring teas and bridal showers, volunteered at the perogy suppers, and sang alto in the church choir, to name a few of her favourite activities. Since moving to Glendale Court, Audre made many close friends and enjoyed several activities in the block. The family would like to acknowledge the loving care that she received from the staff at the Grace Hospital on 3 South. Divine Liturgy will be celebrated 10:00 a.m., Friday, March 23 at St. Basil's Ukrainian Catholic Church, 202 Harcourt St. with Rt. Rev. Canon. W. Klimchak and Fr. Isidore Dziadyk, OSBM officiating. Interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Cemetery. As per Audre's wishes, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Basil's Church, 202 Harcourt Street, Winnipeg, MB R3J 3H3.

25TH SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR
ANNA AND LOUIE LASKOWICH

KAMSACK, SASKATCHEWAN
On November 28, 1948 in the parish hall at the Church of Holy St. Jehoshaphat (St. Josaphat the Martyr) in Kamsack, Saskatchewan the Silver Wedding [Anniversary] took place for the noble folks of Luka (Louie) and Anna Laskovych (Laskowich).
The noble Laskowichs are faithful children to their Church, and devoted to the cause of the people. Their Silver Wedding [Anniversary] was not only a celebration with their family, who came from Norquay and the surrounding area, but also a rejoicing with their friends and acquaintances in Kamsack.
They began the next [phase] of their married life with God at St. Josaphat’s early, on a holy day, Sunday, November 28; he [they] and his [their] children started with Holy Confession and Holy Communion.
In the evening at the Parish Hall, ladies from the Women’s Fraternity [Society] prepared dinner and Reverend Fr. Voladimir (Vladimir])Flyak said a few words to the guests of Mr. Laskowich; he addressed the tasks of the Ukrainian family in the time of ungodly Communism, which tries to destroy the family and the people. He encouraged endurance in the faith of the fathers to preserve the native language and customs of the Ukrainian people.
We, as well as friends and acquaintances gave them and their family wishes and gifts. At the urging of Reverend Father Voladimir(Vladimir), who had recently arrived from Lebanon (Arab/Israeli War – 1948) near Palestine, $40 was collected for charitable purposes; $25 dollars which is intended for wanderers [refugees], $10 for the Headquarters of the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada, and to the press fund for the Ukrainian Vista, $5.
Sincere thanks to all donors.
