Obituary of COURTNEY LAINE CLYDE

COURTNEY LAINE CLYDE
(nee Dvorak)

In the early morning hours of September 17, 2016 our precious Courtney Laine peacefully passed away cradled in the arms of God with her parents at her side. She had courageously and valiantly battled lymphoma for many months.
Courtney was born on February 14, 1982, a beautiful baby full of life and joy. As she grew she spread happiness wherever she went, she lit a room with her endless energy and free spirit.
Courtney was a kind, capable young mother and wife who always put the needs of others before her own. She was so much to so many people. She loved deeply and fully her children Jessica and Rylan, you could see the pride in her eyes whenever she was with them or she was speaking of them. All her energy and passion was spent caring for her family and her home. The deep connection she had with her children was beyond measure. She was a fierce advocate for children on the Autism Spectrum being involved in numerous advocacy activities.
She thoroughly enjoyed her work at Seven Oaks General Hospital, she had worked on the surgical unit, in the emergency department and on family medicine. She thought so highly of her colleagues and made many friends there.
The loss of our Courtney is incomprehensible. She was our bright light, our teacher, and our inspiration. The magic that was Courtney will live on in all of us forever.
Left to celebrate her life are, her husband Steven and their beautiful children Rylan seven years and Jessica four years. Her mother and father, Ken and Marilynne Dvorak, her siblings Christopher, and his wife Erica (Alex and Ethan), Dustin, Tyne, and her partner Brad (Leah), her grandmother, Muriel Dvorak, and numerous cousins. In- laws Gordon and Jeannette Clyde. Steven’s siblings Jason and wife Heather (Brody and Molly), Brad and wife Martha (Evelyn and Alistair). Many dear friends and colleagues.
Courtney was predeceased by their baby girl Abigail, grandparents, Gordon and Clemence Bowen, her grandfather Leopold Dvorak, her great grandparents Leopold and Anna Dvorak, Harry and Dorothy (Nanny) Ellison, Angelique and Anthony Ducharme, Charles and Lillian Bowen.
The family would like to sincerely thank the skilled team on GD6 at Health Sciences Centre for their compassion and excellent care.

Cobblestone Research 2020

The research has been done on the base of Greek Catholic Registers of the village of Spasiv. The documents are in Lviv archives, namely: registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1785-1853, 1876-1877, 1895-1910, 1919, 1926, 1931-1933, 1935, 1937-1938.
I have managed to determine that Trokhym Musiy really lived in the village of Spasiv (his name in Latin is “Trochimus Musij”). He married Maria Yakubchak (Maria Jakubczak) and had at least one daughter – Eva (not Paraska, as it was mentioned in your information):
- Musiy Eva (Musij Eva) was born January 14 (or 17), 1871. 10.11.1895 she married Semen Sydor; his parents were Ivan and Katheryna Prokopchuk (Simeon Sydor, parents Joannes et Catharina Prokopczuk). He was born 14.02.1871. They lived in the building No 51 in Spasiv, and had at least 2 sons:
o Sydor Omelian (Sydor Aemilianus) 19.08.1896 DOB.
o Sydor Vasyl (Sydor Basilius) 13.03.1898 DOB.
There are no Registers 1854-1875; I did not find any birth entries of other children. I did not find any further information on the family in the Registers of the later period.

Wasyl married Anna Trotz on 15 Jul 1928 in St. John's Ukraine Greek Orthodox Church, Drifting River, Manitoba, Canada. Anna (daughter of Theodore Trotz and Tillie Buchma) was born on 1 Aug 1907 in Sishno, Region Radehiv, Western Ukraine; died on 30 Dec 1988 in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada; was buried in St. John's Ukraine Greek Orthodox cemetery, Drifting River, Manitoba, Canada.

Notes:

1946 - Anna’s parents were shipped to Siberia never to be seen or heard from again.

Anna was born August 1, 1907 in the village Sishno, Region Radehiv in Western Ukraine. She attended school and worked in fields hoeing potatoes and tying grain into sheaves. Her father sold a cow and bought a Singer sewing machine. Anna learned to sew and did a lot of sewing.

Her uncle, John Trotz, had earlier immigrated to Canada. He was Anna's sponsor at a cost of $152.00. He made all the arrangements. At the end of the journey, there was two dollars left with which Anna bought a pair of shoes.

Anna left Ukraine on March 3, 1926 and arrived in Gilbert Plains on April 2, 1926. Her ship set sail from Danzig, then under Polish control. They docked in Halifax and she continued her journey by train.

Her father, Theodore, and Sam Shmon has been acquainted in Ukraine. Sam now resided in Gilbert Plains. The station agent took her to Sam’s, who in turn contacted her uncle John. She was picked up by her uncle where she was required by law to remain for a year. She worked alongside the family. (John’s homestead was located one half mile north of the Drifting River Church, east side of the road.)

In May of 1927, Anna left Trotz’s and caught a ride to Gilbert Plains where she went to see Sam Shmon. Sam helped Anna find employment at a farmers, Bill Smith, in Grandview. Bill's wife was not a well person so Anna stayed until fall doing household duties as well as milking cows and churning butter. Bill sold the butter and used the money to pay her wages of $12.00 monthly. Bill and his wife went to England so Anna was no longer employed.

A store owner in Grandview, Mr. Knazan, hired Anna as a house keeper and paid a wage of $15.00 monthly. Anna has been acquainted with William (Wasyl) Sydor when she lived with her uncle in the drifting river area. He was constructing a garage for his brother-in-law Martin Hubchuk in Grandview. Wasyl and Anna had their first date - a movie.

They were married on July 15, 1928. Kanzan being very fond of Anna, could not attend the ceremony, but came beforehand with his mother who was from Winnipeg. She sang wedding songs and they presented Anna with a gift of two towels, six bowls and spoons.

Wasyl and Anna resided with his parents, Sam and Eva, until 1934. They moved across the road where they built a small house, years later adding to it as money became available. They slowly purchased machinery and more land. They resided here till Wasyl's passing.

She moved to Gilbert Plains where she remained until her passing.
