Sylvia M. (nee Cherewyk) Sawitsky
SAWITSKY, Sylvia M. (nee Cherewyk) - Passed away peacefully on Tuesday November 12, 2013 at Royal Victoria Hospital, Barrie. Born in Norquay Saskatchewan, on November 17, 1943. Predeceased by her father Steven, mother Mary and brother Sylvester (Marilyn). Survived by her sister Joan Braaten (Jim) and family, Wade Braaten (Lori), Kyra and Mitchell and Warren Braaten (Candy), Brody, Brynn, and Blake. Also sister-in-law Marilyn Cherewyk and many extended family members. Sylvia took her early education in Norquay and received her Bachelors of Education from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. She was briefly married and taught in Thompson, Manitoba and in Scarborough, Ontario. Her teaching career spanned 34 years. She was an exemplary teacher who was dearly loved and respected by all her students and colleagues. Sylvia's interest included gardening, baking, singing, shopping and especially knitting for all her friends. She will always be remembered for her warm, infectious smile, her generous and genuine spirit, and her graceful demeanour. Sylvia's involvement with her church was paramount in her life and her deep faith was evident by the way she treated everyone she met. We are tremendously grateful for the care and compassion given to Sylvia by the nurses at RVH as well as her practitioners. Family and friends will be received at the STECKLEY-GOODERHAM FUNERAL HOMES 30 Worsley St., Barrie, on Saturday November 16, 2013 from 12 - 1 pm followed by a celebration of Sylvia's life in the chapel at 1pm.
