| 251 | Obituary Anton A. Dziaduck of Yorkton and formerly of the Buchanan district, went home to his Lord after a brief illness, passing away in Yorkton Union Hospital in the early hours of Sunday, June 17, 2018. Just as his devoted wife of 39 years, Pauline (Danyluk) cared for him until the end and ensured that he received the prayers and Christian sacraments in his last days, Anton lovingly looked after the needs of his wife until his departure. Anton was born on October 27, 1927, on the family farm seven miles south of Buchanan, the eldest son of Lena (Wasylkiw) and Alex Dziaduck. His father passed away in the middle of the Great Depression when Anton was only 8 years old and he had to assume many manly duties of farming and cattle-raising from this early age. He remembered his father teaching him prayers in his native Polish language. He stepped in to raise the family, which included sisters, Mary, Jean and Olga, and a younger brother, Steve. His devotion to work and family led him to discontinue attending Vasiloutz School while still a young teenager and once family members reached adulthood, he continued to live with and care for his widowed mother. He saved enough money to buy himself a Charles Atlas Body Building Course in the 1930s and set upon doing the exercises daily. He gained some logging experience in the interior of British Columbia where he worked as a choke-setter, attaching cables to logs so they could be retrieved by skidders. “Anton A†as local people knew him, was a dedicated farmer and good cattleman, raising cattle on the community pasture adjoining his land. He had a keen practiced eye for buying cattle. Many people valued his expert opinion, often asking that he accompany them to auctions. He was also an excellent hunter and a bull’s eye marksman. To his last day, he knew exactly when hunting seasons and draws would open. He was an excellent neighbour and a loyal friend. A strong Christian believer, he regularly attended Ss. Constantine and Helena Ukrainian Catholic Church near Buchanan, and later St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Parish and St. Gerrard’s Roman Catholic Church in Yorkton. Anton was quick to acknowledge God’s providential care, especially in two farm incidents. The first was when his jacket was caught in a grain auger. In that split second, he called the name of Christ. The machine stopped and he used his jack-knife to cut his jacket free. The second time was when he was being tossed by a bull in his yard one hot summer day, and at that very moment, a neighbour came driving into his rather isolated yard. Life’s new chapter for Anton began in the mid-1970s, with his decision to move to Yorkton after the passing of his mother. He became acquainted with a girl from “the other side of the lakeâ€, Pauline Danyluk, a teacher, whom he met at a local wedding. The tanned, strong man wearing a Stetson won her heart and they were married on April 16, 1979 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, Yorkton by Reverend Father Paul Maluga. Together, Pauline and Anton engaged in many delightful, seasonal life activities that included picking mushrooms, spring and fall, gathering cranberries for juice, caring for gardens in town and on the farm, and attending old time dances. They showed wonderful hospitality to family and friends. They even took a turn at dance lessons and enjoyed learning the tango and cha-cha! In the last few years, it wouldn’t be Saturday night without their tuning in to CJGX’s Saturday Night Get Together, and one week before Anton fell ill, they danced a fast polka in their kitchen. In later years, Anton would listen attentively as Pauline read him the daily Scripture readings. Although he was, by nature, quiet and reflective, he was quick to joke, especially in his Ukrainian language. Their German Shephard was their beloved pet, and in the Ukrainian tradition, they shared bits of the Sviat Vecher with him after the meal. Long walks on the northern edge of Yorkton to see the ducks and geese helped to keep Anton fit and he never, till his last days, neglected his physical exercises learned some seventy years earlier. Anton was always keen on current events and could converse on international affairs. He was able to do mental mathematical calculations faster than most using a pencil and paper. Besides his wife, Pauline, Anton leaves to mourn his sister, Mary (Katchur) of Yorkton; his brothers-in-law, Dan (Carol) Danyluk and Vasil (Kathy) Szalasznyj of Saskatoon, sister-in-law, Sandra Reimer of Saskatoon, together with many nephews and nieces in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Phyllis Lukey, Cornell (Marian) Haliuk, Kim (Debbie) Haliuk, Noel (Garth) Kowalchuk, Darcy Moore, Sheldon (Karen) Dziaduck , Trent Dziaduck , Darla Dziaduck , Dee Dee (Gordon) Hannah, Milton Powers, Stephanie (Colin Skrapek) Danyluk, Matthew (Teri) Danyluk, Victoria (Kyle Kitchen) Danyluk, Bernadette (Kyle) Wylie, Cassandra Danyluk, Garry (Donna) Danyluk, Dean (Trish) Hrycyk, Daniel (Maureen) Hrycyk, Selina Hrycyk, Alexander Shalashniy and Anastasia Szalasznyj. He also leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews. Anton was predeceased by his sisters, Jean (Steve) Dennis, Olga (Morris) Haliuk, his brother, Steve (Elizabeth) Dziaduck Powers, his brother-in-law, Steve Dennis and also his niece, Sharon Dennis, and nephew, Garrett Dziaduck. | Dziaduck, Anton (I3103)

| 254 | Obituary GAZDEWICH – Athen Gazdewich of Yorkton, beloved husband of Emily Gazdewich passed away peacefully at his home on November 5, 2022. Athen was born on September 16, 1940, to John and Annie (neé Romashenko) Gazdewich. He grew up on a farm seven miles south of Hyas, attending Moss Lake Elementary School. He then moved to Canora for high school, staying with his maternal grandparents (the Romashenkos). After graduating, Athen moved to Regina where he stayed with his sister, Jean, and her husband Michael Markewich. He worked at Sears and then at Sask Power, meeting Emily Bossey, whom he would marry on July 30, 1966. They moved to North Battleford where he obtained his diploma in Public Health Inspection. Crescentia was born on September 9, 1967 and five years later, the family moved to Esterhazy where they purchased their first home. In addition to his full-time health inspection work, Athen joined the Esterhazy Volunteer Fire Department. During this time, Curtis was born on June 27, 1973. Many great friendships were forged over five years in Esterhazy, and more followed when he and the family moved to Yorkton for his position as supervisor in Public Health. He would spend the next 45 years of his life in this town, but not without special interludes… Athen and Emily celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary in Hawaii. This started a mutual love for travel that included Jamaica, Ixtapa, Barcelona, the Mayan Riviera, Cuba, Las Vegas, and the Maritimes. They ventured even farther with more embracing tours of Europe and China and cruises to Alaska, Panama and New Zealand. Athen was a faithful parishioner of St. Mary's Church and a member of the Knights of Columbus. He had a passion for gardening, cross-country skiing, and dancing to Ukrainian music. He also enjoyed watching his son and grandson play hockey. He was predeceased by his parents, John and Annie; brothers Eugene and Arthur Gazdewich, sister Jean Markewich, and in-laws Sam Dutchak, and Michael Markewich. He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of 56 years Emily, his daughter Crescentia Rozdeba, his son Curtis (Christine), his grandson Riley Rozdeba (Sasha Sobothniski), and sister Veronica Dutchak. Athen radiated the kind of warmth and curiosity that instantly endeared him to everyone. His contagious smile, his uplifting laugh, and his genuine caring for others inevitably made him everyone’s “favourite uncle†in no time. Maya Angelou said that “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.†Athen’s exceptional legacy was making everyone feel special and treasured, and it is this example of love that so any miss now and carry forward to honour him. Prayers were held on November 11th, preceded by the rosary led by members of the Knights of Columbus. The Funeral Liturgy was held on Saturday, November 12th at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Rev. Fr. Leonid Malkov, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant.

| 256 | Obituary Gertrude Lukey of Weyburn, SK passed away at Regina General Hospital on November 6th, 2013 at the age of 84 years. Gertrude will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Bob; her children: Carol (Russ) Roome, Weyburn, Ron (Helene) Lukey, Marquette, MI, Janet (Lorne) Ebel, Weyburn, Simone (Doug) McCosh, Saskatoon, Evan (Sherry) Lukey, Coldstream, BC, Brian Lukey, Burnaby, BC, Adele (John) Popp, Erickson, MB. She will be sadly missed by her 13 grandchildren, one great-grandson; brothers Alfred, Dave (Linda), Orville (Bev) Ottenbreit; sister-in-law Pat Ottenbreit; brother-in-law Walter Lukey; her aunt Clara Ungar and her many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Gertrude was predeceased by her parents Frank and Caroline (Exner) Ottenbreit, her twin sister Julia Hicke and her in-laws Simon and Irene Lukey. Gert Lukey was many things - a devoted, faith-filled Catholic, a choir member, a member of the Catholic Women's League, a Brownie leader, a world traveller, a knitter, a great cook, the family historian, but mostly Gert was a mom, in the fullest sense of the word. She was a mom to her seven children - Carol, Ron, Janet, Simone, Evan, Brian and Adele. She was a grandmother to her thirteen beloved grandchildren, a great grandmother to her one special great grandson and she was a mom to her mom when Gert took care of her through her last days. Gert had many hobbies to keep her busy, needle-work, cards, but her greatest pastime was keeping track of all she met - family and strangers alike. Gert was a oral family tree, she knew relatives back several generations in every direction. Upon meeting someone, she would also waste no time in finding out the person’s genealogical background and invariably make a special, personal connection with them. Christmas and Easter celebrations were always a special time for Gert with lots of family over for fun and games and those great meals filled with the wonderful food of the season. Gert revelled in the many Ottenbreit and Lukey family reunions over the years. She was usually the instigator and was always the event planner and director. Just this fall, she was in the midst of planning Bob and her 60th anniversary for next August, which, naturally, would have included as much family as possible. We all have great memories of Gert which will hold us until we meet her again. The family wish to thank Dr. Mary McCollam, the staff at The Weyburn General Hospital, the Regina General Hospital and Father Gerry Bauche, Father Andrei Kachur as well as Fr. Eusebio Tubale. Prayers for Gertrude were held on Friday, November 8, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, SK with Father Gerry Bauche officiating. A Funeral Service was held on Saturday, November 9, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church with Father Andrei Kachur, officiating. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, SK. | Ottenbreit, Gertrude (Gert) (I300)

| 258 | Obituary It is with extreme sadness, the family of the late Steve Gulka, beloved husband of Natalie Gulka of Canora, SK, announce his passing on December 23, 2024, at the age of 94 years. Steve was born on October 25, 1930, to Stanley and Pauline (nee Panasiewich) Gulka on a farm south of Preeceville, SK. When Steve was four years old, his family moved to the present-day farmyard, northwest of Canora, SK. The family continued to grow with the birth of his sisters, Betty and Hazel, to complete the family. Steve attended Wergeland country school; however, his only interest was being on the farm. Through the 1950s, Steve would board the train in Buchanan after harvest and travel to Prince George, BC, where he would work in lumber camps. Steve would return in spring with all his pay cheques, and this is where he met his future wife, Natalie Romashenko, who was working at the bank. Steve and Natalie were married on September 5, 1959, and enjoyed 65 years together. They raised two sons, Roman and Zenovie. Steve was an avid curler, and he was the ice maker at the Canora curling rink throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Steve was a faithful parishioner of Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church as well as a fourth-degree knight with the Knights of Columbus. Farming held a special place in his heart. Throughout his life, he enjoyed farming with his sons - a legacy they will continue for years to come. A loving husband, father and grandfather, Steve will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May his memory be eternal. Steve was predeceased by his parents, Stanley and Pauline Gulka. He will lovingly be remembered and greatly missed by his wife, Natalie; his children, Roman (Tracy) and Zenovie (Leslie); grandchildren: Abby, Jill, Mackenzie, and Jacob; and his sisters, Betty Deschamps and Hazel Johnson.

| 261 | Obituary On Thursday, August 29, 2024, Mr. Eddie Yasinski was welcomed into the hands of The Lord at the age of 90 years. Eddie is loved and remembered by his Twin Sister Emily Wolkowski; Brother Dave (Madeleine) Yasinski; 2 Step-Daughters Michelle (Greg Blake) Theriault and their daughter Sherri Houle, and Laurie (Shawn) and their daughter Taya Berntsen; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Eddie is predeceased by his Wife Jeanette Yasinski; Parents Joseph and Nellie Yasinski; Sister Lillian Hrynchyshyn; Brothers-in-law Albert Hrynchyshyn and Phillip Wolkowski; Nieces Lana and Theresa; Nephews Todd and Rodney. A Prayer Service was held at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 1, 2024, followed with Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, September 2, 2024, at Our Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, St. Walburg, Saskatchewan. Mass was celebrated at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, September 7, 2024, (Rosary at 10:00 a.m.) Rite of Committal followed at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Cemetery, Rama, Saskatchewan Life History Born April 21, 1934, to Joseph and Nellie (Sliva) Yasinski. He attended school at Dyland. The winters were very tough. Some winters there was so much snow that you’d be able to touch the telephone wires. The neighbours formed a snow club to keep the roads open. He used W-6 tractor with a v-type plow. He usually plowed because he had chains on his tractor. After completing grade 9, he helped with the family farm and gradually took over the family farm. In his younger years, he enjoyed curling. He was a member of the Sask. Wheat Pool. He served 13 years as a delegate at the Buchanan Gateway Co-op. He was a member of the K of C and served 12 years as a grand knight. He was also a member of the 4th degree. He served 4 years as a chairman of the parish council when the church was under construction. He was active in the church choir and was choir director for many years. As in farming there is always a need for repairs to be done. So, he enrolled in a Smith-Roles Farm Welding School course. After 2 weeks he obtained a welding certificate that gave him more of an opportunity to help friends and neighbours. Friends and family came from near and far to get something welded, and he was always willing to help them. No challenge was too big for him. When his mom fell ill, he took over and baked the bread and buns. So, to have buns he had to have four fresh eggs. Sometimes he had to go and wait for a hen to lay an egg. As happened later on he was getting married, and he had to bake eighty buns for the wedding. As he said, no challenge was too big for him. He got an electric clipper, and he gave haircuts for all the young boys. He loved to read, sometimes he would get so absorbed in his readings that he’d say the house would be burning and he wouldn’t know it. He had a great ear for music. One of his passions was to play the harmonica. He really enjoyed joining the band at the nursing home. This went along good with his love of dancing. He loved Willie's polka. When he visited his mom in the nursing home, one hymn he used to play for her was Immaculate Mary. And are some ways the blessed Mother brought him and his wife together for the great love of hymns. He also had a deep love for animals and gardening. He considered all the dogs he had as some of his best friends. In their home in Rama, he and his wife Janet befriended a fox. It used to sit on the deck with them. Everyone around town knew this fox as the Yasinski’s fox. He had a great love and was devoted to saying the rosary. I pass through here only once, if I can do some good, and show some kindness, let me do it now, for I shall not pass through here again. Eddie had been married to Jeanette for 17 years and with her passing in November 2018, life became lonelier and physically he was struggling. His sister Lillian suggested he move to Saint Walburg where his brother David and his wife Madeleine lived. Although missing his friends he made the decision to leave the farm by Buchanan in September 2021 and move to Saint Walburg. One of his great consolations was having visits from nephews and nieces whether it was in Buchanan or Saint Walburg. In Saint Walburg a team of six often met twice a week in his apartment to pray the rosary. And then he would serve them a glass of wine, even though he didn’t drink himself. Eddie’s faith was of immense importance, never missing Sunday mass whether in Buchanan and then Saint Walburg and daily prayer was a part of his life. So, with a U-Haul behind a SUV, and 8 hours later, David and Madeleine made his move possible. After one week he settled into Lakeland Manor. He always said that was the best move he ever made. He felt a sense of security and safety with friends and loved ones around him. With all his appointments and affairs managed he always said - I know I have no worries. What was most significant in Saint Walburg was his contentment because of two items – visits from nephews and nieces and the most hospitable residents of this town. Eddie developed friendships easy with librarians, SGI Clarity staff that welcomed him even though he never brought insurance there, town office staff, pharmacy and grocery staff, liquor board staff (even though he didn’t partake), and the Credit Union staff. They all took time to visit and help him in these endeavours. His 90th birthday had over 30 people join his celebration. All the visits and friendships made contributed to his joy in living in this friendly community. Emil Ermine was a huge part of his life as he often drove the handy van to take him twice a week to the establishments in town. He opened the doors, carried groceries and helped him get on and off the Handivan. And at the end Eddie always had a chocolate bar for him to choose from. In fact, he had a chocolate bar for anybody who came to visit him. He loved music and often played the harmonica even though short of breath he managed. He loved collecting quotes with humour and readers digest wisdom. He would often use these to put smiles on people’s face. His favourite was: life is short, life is sweet make the most of it there’s no repeat!! After two emergency trips to the hospital, he was kept in acute care in Riverside hospital and here he was designated for a care home. He was fortunate to find one within two weeks at the care home in Saint Walburg. Truly it was the most caring and patient staff that he was privileged to have. | Yasinski, Eddie (I3077)

Eve’s vibrant spirit was born into this world in Cambridge, MA September 15, 1956. Her whole life she was nurtured by the support and love of her friends and family. Her late parents were her foundation, Philip Salowsky and Marion (Saar) Salowsky, whose strength and love shaped each of her parent’s 5 children. Her siblings, Phyllis, Tom, Ruth, and Peter, a unique and accomplished group, were always there for her. This family, true to each other and proud of their achievements, is a testament to the strength of their bonds. Among them, her sister Ruth Peal held a special place in her heart. Ruth’s dedication and love as a sister is beyond measure; she deserves the greatest honor for her commitment to her sister and the daily friendship that they shared. September 15th would have been Eve’s 68th birthday. She passed away peacefully in her sleep the day before this milestone, following her beloved husband of over 30 years, Michael Filipowich, who left this world exactly ten years earlier, also at the age of 67. It’s as if their love had a rhythm that transcended time. They met in Mexico—a love story that began with instant passion and never slowed down. Together, they built a life full of laughter, joy, and family. To Eve, James, was everything. She loved him deeply, unconditionally, and proudly. She always longed to have him close, but her love knew no distance. For a brief, beautiful time, they lived together again in New England when he returned at 30. And over the last two years she witnessed her granddaughter, Robyn, learn to crawl and walk in her own home—precious moments that she held dear. Eve was more than just a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, an Auntie, and a friend; she was a soul sister. She was a woman who never shied away from letting people know how much she loved them. Her love was bold and utterly sincere. If she loved you, everyone knew it. And it was a love that wrapped you up, held you close, and made you feel like you were part of her family, no matter where you came from. She never retired, always pushing it off, as if to say that life itself was too exciting to take a pause. She thrived in her routine and found joy in her work. For nearly 30 years, she worked at Jay Colangelo Insurance, not just as an employee but as a pillar of her community. Her home was her sanctuary. She was a true homemaker and was always working inside and out to keep her home and things nice and orderly. Her door was always open, with bonfires lighting up the night and friends turning into family. She was the energy that kept everyone talking, dancing, and laughing—letting conversation flow as freely as the wine. She was deeply connected to Massachusetts, having grown up in Billerica on the Concord River, where she spent her childhood ice skating in the winter and boating in the summer. Eve was incredibly proud of her roots and her family’s legacy. The Eve Filipowich family, alongside the Salowsky, Rideout, and Peal families, shared countless sunny days on New England lakes, beaches and rivers. Just 10 years ago, she was mountain biking down a mountain with her son and his friends. She regularly rode her bicycle on a 20 mile loop on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, and occasionally swam the perimeter of Walden Pond. She was a patriotic woman, deeply proud of her New England home and Estonian heritage. From her house on Acton Road, in Chelmsford, she could watch both the sunrise and sunset, and she remembered the days when horses would come right up to her window. She especially treasured becoming close friends with the neighbors who moved in next door. Eve was a sun worshipper. Saint Petersburg and Tampa Florida’s beaches held a special place in her heart, where she made cherished memories with her friends and family. Her son James, his spouse Kristin, and their daughter Robyn Eve led her to become a regular visitor to the California coast, valleys, and mountains. She was "Vanaema"—the Estonian word for grandmother—to her granddaughter, Robyn Eve, a title that was destined for her. Her love for her granddaughter was pure and deep, and full of hope for her future. It is heartbreaking that their time together was cut short. We see Eve live through Robyn, in her blue eyes and her spirit. Eve’s life was not without heartbreak. She felt the deep ache of missing her loved ones gone before her. Grief is love, after all—love that cannot be undone, love that has no place to go. And as we miss her, not just for this moment but for all the moments to come, we know that our grief is a testament to the immense love we have for her. We already miss her voice, her hugs, her stories, and the way she made everything brighter. We missed her when we weren't with her, we heartbrokenly miss her now. We will miss her tomorrow, and every tomorrow after that. We will miss all the plans that will never come, the phone calls we will never hear, the joy we will no longer share in person. But we will never stop loving her. And we should find peace, peace in knowing that she lived each day to its fullest. She leaves us in peace knowing she did everything she could to love life and us. She was a woman who lived fully, who loved deeply. She wasn’t just someone you met; she was someone who stayed with you. And now, even in her absence, she remains with us—her radiant spirit remains with us—in our hearts, in our memories, and in the way we love each other. Though she is no longer here with us, her light continues to guide and inspire us, a testament to the enduring impact she made on our lives. Her legacy is one of love—love that knows no bounds, love that transcends time and space, love that will never die. As Eve would say, “May God Bless You and Keep You Safe.” A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. You are kindly invited to share a note or memory on Eve's memory wall. | Salowsky, Eve (I4598)

| 264 | Obituary The family of Clarence Protz of the Yorkton District, beloved husband of Sharon Protz sadly announce his passing on Thursday, May 12, 2022. Clarence was 82 years of age. Prayers will take place on Sunday, May 15 at 7:00p.m. from St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church. The Funeral Liturgy will be held on Monday, May 16 at 1:00p.m. from St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church. Interment will follow in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Memorials in memory of Clarence may be made to the St. Mary's Church Building Fund (155 Catherine St., Yorkton, SK S3N 0B9) as gifts of remembrance. Clarence John Protz was the son of Mary and Steve Protz, and brother to Archie Protz. Clarence and his family lived and farmed in the Jaroslaw District. Clarence attended Jaroslaw school that was across the road from the family farm. He played baseball for the Jaroslaw Gophers (coached by Uncle Joe Protz). He would then attend St. Joseph’s College where he would Ukrainian dance; having once or twice to wash pots and pans for detention duties from the brothers. Along with family farming, Clarence also worked at the Creamery and Poultry plant in Yorkton. Sharon, also working there met Clarence. He won Sharon’s heart over during work one afternoon lunch break. As Clarence was eating a homemade sandwich and crab apples, he offered Sharon his sandwich while sitting in his brand new green 1975 Chevy Impala. And thus their lives together began. Sharon and Clarence joined in holy matrimony on Aug 27th, 1977, at St Mary’s Church. Then the two moved into their small farm house that Clarence had bought from uncle Pete Wach. As uncle Steve Wach, taught Clarence how to operate road grader, which Clarence would grade the roads until 1982. Clarence knowing math and carpentry very well, built an extensive addition to the farmhouse. Being a skilled woodworker, he helped his father in-law cut and harvest timber that would build both Millie and Bill’s house on the farm in Norquay, as well as his and Sharon’s own home additions. Many friends and family would help with the building. Clarence was a wonderful son in law who won everyone’s hearts in the family in no time. Christmas was a shared holiday with the whole family that included religious celebration, food, and fun card games that lasted until the early morning. After seven years of marriage, Sharon and Clarence welcomed the arrival of their sons Trevor and Travis; their family was finally complete. Life on the farm began a new chapter for Sharon and Clarence. Clarence loved to teach all that he knew about farming to his sons, and continued to share all of his ideas as they grew. The boys were able to ride and steer the tractor while sitting on Clarence’s lap, where there was always a secure nap area made behind the tractor seat for them. Clarence loved supporting the boys after school activities, like Ukrainian dance, baseball, and hockey. Together the family enjoyed fishing at Tobin Lake, quadding, snow machining, skiing, curling, and camping. Clarence and family would attended Sunday mass, Friday rosary, visits to the cemetery, and annual trips to the beautiful Rama Grotto. Road trips would include the rosary, as it was an important and enjoyable part of the family travels. As the years passed, Sharon and Clarence took pride in their boy’s ability to work the land and raise the cattle; it is one of Sharon and Clarence’s proudest moments. Clarence would retire from farming but was proud to see his farm enter the fourth generation in the good hands of his son Trevor. Trevor, alongside with the help of his family Geraldine, Taylor, and Brooklyn, who continue to expand and grow the farm. The farm first broke ground in 1897 by Maxim, which was continued by Steve, to Clarence, and now Trevor. Clarence had patience of gold for everyone but especially during harvest when his green horn sister in-laws began operating combines and driving grain trucks. Clarence would be appreciative of the skilled neighbours that would come help wrap up harvest on the farm. And would happily return the favour when needed. Tailgate supper and jars of coffee were fine dining during harvest, as Clarence always enjoyed friends and neighbours coming over for coffee at the farm. No matter the occasion he would make time for conversation around the truck box where the best decisions were made. As cousin John said, “Clarence would even park the seeder to have a good visitâ€. Clarence had a fond love for all gatherings, reunions, anniversaries, weddings, and birthday celebrations. He enjoyed dancing too, as Maple Sugar would be a sure way to get him out on the dance floor. Clarence spent his last days peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family. He still continued to enjoy the company of friends that stopped by for visits. He passed peacefully at home on May 12th, 2022, and will forever remain in our hearts, as he will be missed by all who loved and knew him. Forever loved by his wife Sharon, his sons Trevor and Travis†, and his family. | Protz, Clarence John (I192)

Nellie was the youngest of 8, having 1 sister and 6 brothers. Nellie's parents had immigrated from Ukraine separately, met in Winnipeg, married and headed west to homestead near Norquay. Nellie received her education at Westerlund and Norquay Schools. At 10 years of age Nellie was at home sick for a week when the doctor decided she must be sent to the hospital 30 miles away in Canora. They made a bed in the sleigh and travelled by team and sleigh to hospital where she had her ruptured appendix removed the following morning. After completing her grade 11, the highest grade available in Norquay, Nellie helped on the family farm. In 1942 Nellie got a job with the bank of Toronto, later the Toronto Dominion Bank. In 1952she came back home to care for her father when her mother passed away. Her father passed away in 1953. She went back to the T.D. Bank until 1960, working in various branches in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia. Nellie met Russell Long during W.W.II and on September 6, 1957 they married in Preeceville. In 1960 their first daughter, Susan, was born, and in 1962 their second daughter, Shirley. Nellie stayed at home with the children then. From 1967 to 1972 Nellie was Secretary Treasurer for the Preeceville Rural Telephone Co. Meetings were held at her house once a month, and on those evening Russell and the girls were told to stay in their rooms and be quiet! In 1972 Nellie started working at Formo Motors Ltd. in Preeceville as the accountant bookkeeper. In 1986 she retired from Formo Motors. Nellie loved gardening, knitting, and spending as much time as possible with the grand children. She was also an avid curler. Many winters were spent in rinks attending bonspiels and socializing! Another love was Bingo. She often attended locally and loved Kinsmen Radio Bingo on Saturday nights. Her luck was frequent! She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi in Preeceville, a fellowship centered on positive lifestyles. Nellie was a Founding Member of the Preeceville and District Heritage Museum and received an Honorary Lifetime Membership in 2014. Nellie and Russell were also members of Club 60 in Preeceville and it was there Nellie enjoyed carpet bowling. Her most noted involvement was in the CWL which she became a member of in 1957. It was just over the last couple of years that it became too difficult for her to attend. But her faith grew even stronger. She also sang for years in the St. Patrick Church choir. Nellie loved going downtown each day for coffee to socialize, a practice she started with Russell. She loved fall suppers, Christmas concerts, and carol festivals. But the time when you really saw her face light up was then the grand children and great grandchildren came over. They were her world. Nellie was predeceased by her parents in 1952 and 1953, her husband Russell in 2005, and all her siblings. She leaves to mourn daughter Susan (Jim), daughter Shirley (Dervin), 3 grand daughters Alishia, Carmilla (Matt), and Jerrica (Andrew), 6 Great Grandchildren Reagen, Tanesha, Quilana, Torsten, Sadie, and Emeric, 2 sisters-in-law Anne Lukey and Margaret Lukey, and numerous nieces and nephews. | Lukey, Nellie Annie (I85)

| 271 | Obituary for Maurice Joseph Yachyshen YACHYSHEN - Mr. Maurice Yachyshen, beloved husband of Helen Yachyshen of Yorkton, formerly of the Rama district, passed away on Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. He was 78 years of age. Maurice Joseph Yachyshen was born on November 16, 1928 in the Rama district of Saskatchewan; a son of Nicholas and Mary (nee Groshko) Yachyshen. Maurice grew up on the family farm and attended Boxmoor School and then Rama School. He completed his education as a student resident at St. Joseph's College in Yorkton. While here and under the guidance of the Christian Brothers of Delaselle; Maurice was involved in sports: Baseball, Hockey and Boxing and the Army Cadets. Maurice enjoyed practical jokes and laughed at the outcome. He loved music, playing guitar, singing, whistling or humming as was evident to all! As well, if there was a dance; you could be sure Maurice was found on the dance floor. In 1952 Maurice Joseph was united in marriage to Helen Theresa Korchinski. They settled in the Mainroad District to farm and break the land. Toiling many laborious hours by the sweat of his brow and with Helen by his side; his ability to work with his team of horses to take the burden of pulling was amazing. The family moved to the Bellindean district and farmed for a couple of years then moved near Rama continuing to farm. In 1970 the family moved to Yorkton, where they have since resided. Maurice continued to farm in Rama with his family helping him on weekends and holidays. At the end of a long work day, Maurice always reflected with laughter and jokes about the adventures of the day. Later in life, Maurice's fondest times and enjoyment was to rebuild a cabin at Canora Beach. He was admired as an "Artist" erecting a work of art with his own hands. In his senior years Maurice was an avid gardener; being ever so proud of his abundant vegetable crop to share with his family and friends. Above all, Gido loved spending time with his children and grandchildren; telling stories about farming and the "good old days" Gido was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He was very special to everyone. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Helen of 55 years; children: Wayne (Ryan and Tiffany), Garnet and Karen (Tyler), Donna (Eric and Melissa and Shane), Alannah (Aiden and Azlyn), James and Cindy and two sisters: Olive Tabin and Joan Danylyshen. Maurice was predeceased by his parents Nicholas and Mary; sister Anne Melnyk and brothers: Walter, Alex and Eugene.

Arrangements were entrusted to Bailey's Funeral Home. Life Let me live my life from year to year, With forward face and unrelunctant soul; Not hurrying to nor turning from, the goal; Not mourning for the things that disappear In the dim past, nor holding back fear From what the future veils; But with a whole And a happy heart, that pays its toll To youth and Age And travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, O'er rough or smooth, The journey will be joy: Still seeking what I sought when but a boy, New friendship, high adventure, And a crown, My heart will keep courage of the quest, And hope the road's last turn will Be the best Henry van Dyke | Yachyshen, Maurice Joseph (I813)

She was the second of 12 children and first daughter born to John and Mary Jakubowski. This started her lifelong dedication to nurturing and caring for those around her. The family later relocated to the Rockford area, where Anne helped care for her siblings until leaving home at age 13 to work to help with the financial needs of a large family during the depression. She was employed as a household worker, nanny, cook, waitress and nursing assistant until attending college in North Battleford, where she trained to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, a career that she pursued until her retirement. Anne met her future husband, Steve Guliak, while she was working at the Norquay Hospital and while he was at home on leave from the Canadian Air Force. He immediately expressed his interest in her and soon mailed her an engagement ring from Edmonton where he was stationed. They were married on August 23, 1958, in Kamsack, SK, and soon moved to Montreal where their first two children, Donna and John, were born. They then moved to North Bay, ON, where their last child, Peter, was born before moving on to Capreol and finally settling in Melville, SK, in 1967. There Steve began to work for the railway and Anne began working first at St Peter’s Hospital and later St Paul Lutheran Home. Anne was actively involved in the Melville and Yorkton Anglican Church communities, where she often volunteered her time at church meals and fund-raising events. She was a dedicated and loving mother who always put her children first and who often took in children from the community when they needed support and a place to stay. Anne loved the people she supported at her work and did her best to make their lives as comfortable and positive as possible. Families often requested that she stay with their loved ones during their final hours. She welcomed anyone who came to join her family with open arms, adored her grandchildren and step-grandchildren, and was very happy to meet her first great-grandchild. No matter where life would take her, Anne always stayed close with and valued her brothers and sisters and their children. On any occasion, you could count on her to be snuggling a child or teasing a teenager, and there was never a shortage of hugs and laughter during family gatherings. Anne was a very energetic woman who loved off-colour jokes, dancing, baking, and canning and preserving fruits and vegetables from her husband’s large gardens. She especially loved to go have coffee and a gossip with her co-workers, neighbours and friends. Anne had a special individual bond and relationship with each of her grandchildren, and they often teased each other about who was her favourite or the smartest or best looking. This love, support and good nature all came back to her tenfold when Anne later developed Alzheimers and was supported by all of these people to continue her life in the community. Anne’s final months were spent in the hospital and nursing home where she had worked for almost 30 years. All her love and dedication to care was visited back to her by the nursing and support staff and by the constant visits from family and friends. She died peacefully after an almost 20-year battle with cancer on the morning of November 12, 2018. Anne was predeceased by her husband, Steve, her mother and father, her sister Elsie Kovas, brothers Ron and Eddie, and brother-in-law Alec Bodnar. She is survived by her children Donna (Roy) Ellert, John Guliak and Peter Guliak (Jean Dongon); grandchildren RaeAnne Ellert, Keenan (Melissa Steel) Ellert, and Parker (Kim Houdek) Ellert, and MacKenzie Guliak; great-grandchild Lux Ellert; and extended family Madden, Daphne and Dustine; brothers Willie (June) Jakubowski, Joe (Deloris) Jakubowski, Alvin (Cathy) Jakubowski and Harry Jakubowski; sisters Betty (Walter) Mantyka, Marj Bodnar, Rita Gallo and Elinor (Ken) Russell; sisters-in-law Shirley Jakubowski and Doreen Profitt; brother-in-law Bonny (Ophelia) Guliak; and many, many nephews and nieces. | Jakubowski, Anne (I3754)

| 282 | Obituary of Bruce Sorochuk It is with our deepest sadness, we announce the untimely death of our patriarch, Bruce Ernie Sorochuk, on Saturday November 25, 2017 at the age of 56. Bruce was born to Ernie and Bernadette Sorochuk on January 28,1961 in Saskatoon. He grew up on the family farm outside of Norquay Saskatchewan, where he developed into a hard-working young man. He attended school in Norquay and at Saint Vladimir College in Roblin. Starting at a young age and continuing throughout his life Bruce had a curiosity for knowledge and for how things work. As a result of this natural curiosity, Bruce became an expedition leader for a great many adventures. Bruce found love and completion with Gaylene. Over their 16 years, of marriage they created a life filled with love that radiated through those fortunate enough to be graced by their hospitality. Their passion for laughter and life has been a glowing example of partnership and love. At the age of 46, and with the support of his wife, Bruce accomplished a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Most recently, he worked as the Construction Manager for Cameco at the Cigar Lake mine. Like many things in his life, he was passionate about the work he did and was an inspiration to many. Bruce loved to spend time with family and brought people together with both food and conversation. These gatherings took place in so many locations over the years: at the farm in Norquay, in Outlook or Saskatoon, and recently most often at the cabin - or on the pontoon boat - at Christopher Lake. Bruce had a clever mind, a sharp wit, a tender personality and he was an expert at providing advice when asked. He was a treasured mentor to so many, advising through decisions both big and small. He was proud of his Ukrainian heritage, sharing it with others and honoring tradition. Bruce is survived by his mother Bernadette Sorochuk and he was the loving father of 5 daughters: Vanessa Fantillo (Collin), Kristin Catto (Nate), Andria Adams (Mason), from his marriage with Karen; and Kaitlin Sorochuk and Angela England (Kent) from his marriage with Gaylene. Bruce was an incredible Grandpa to Christian Fantillo, Petra Catto, Wilder Catto, Aeden England, Karys England and Preston England. He was a brother to Debora Grywacheski (Len), Loretta Huska (Kerry) and Neil Sorochuk (Lynn) and had numerous nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his father, Ernie Sorochuk and we take comfort in the fact that Bruce will be greeted by his dad. Although we have lost a remarkable man, he will live on in the lessons and wisdom imparted to those fortunate enough to have shared life with him. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Bruce may be made to St.Michael’s Camp at Box 128, Kamsack, Saskatchewan, SOA 1S0. WORDS OF REMEMBRANCE FROM ANGELA ENGLAND Hello. My name is Angela England. I am one of Bruce’s daughter’s with Gaylene, my mom. Technically, one might say I’m Bruce’s stepdaughter, but he and I never saw it that way. I’m lucky to have 2 dads. Bruce came into my life when I was an adult. He met my mom in 2000. They had an arranged date through a dating service, and I remember my mom being so nervous about meeting him. On that first date, the connection between them was obvious. Even in so much as both of them confessing to each other that they had lied on their dating profiles about being non-smokers, which they chuckled about as they shared a cigarette outside the restaurant. Mom came home that night and informed me and my gramma that “This is the man I am going to marryâ€. Bruce’s feelings were mutual. Within 3 months they were talking marriage, but they decided to wait until after he introduced my mom to his 3 daughters. So, they managed to wait and were married on August 18, 2001. From the moment Bruce entered my mom’s life, he embraced all of her family with loving, open arms…myself, my little sister Kaitlin, and all the rest of the Lapetsky clan. Along with that, Kaitlin and I gained 3 sisters and a new family was born that has grown in number and closeness over time. Since joining our family, Bruce showed us he was larger than life in so many ways. I’d like to share and acknowledge some of the beautiful gifts he has given us. Food. Anyone who knows Bruce, knows how he loved food. My husband Kent and I knew we were in for some great food and great times with this man, when on our very first camping trip with him and mom, instead of hotdogs, we ate homemade lamb shishliki by the fire. Kent worried about wild animals attacking us all night after the shishliki marinade had been spilt around the campsite. He grew his own food, building a beautiful raised garden outside their home that flourished each year full of bounty which he turned into homemade horseradish, borsch, and dills. I will treasure his last batch of borsch, some of which I have in my freezer. He also brewed homemade tea from home-grown herb sprigs, with some still hanging to dry beneath their deck at home. He love to go on wild mushroom picking excursions. Bruce enjoyed using his smoker..smoking meats of all kinds that many of us were lucky enough to enjoy. He loved nice kitchen tools and gadgets and made great use of them, even including his dad Ernie’s antique pasta maker, and would share recipe ideas and cooking tips via texts almost daily. This past Thanksgiving with Collin and Vanessa, he brought home walnuts from Ontario and was excited to show us how to hull them. Some of these walnuts are in his arrangement here at the front of the church. A few years ago, he came home from Fort Mac after visiting Kristin and Nate, so excited to try to replicate some African food they had introduced him to. His latest project he had just started within the last few weeks was curing the meat for a charcuterie platter for Christmas Eve. Kaitlin and Claude, his colleague and friend from Cigar lake, have been carrying on this batch for him. I know I’ll miss his advise and be shedding more than a few tears making cabbage rolls this Christmas. Adventure. Pretty much everyone who knows Bruce has had an adventure with him. He would try anything and find things to do anywhere. He honoured life with his curiosity and savoured opportunities to grow and learn. Kent, myself, and our children were so blessed to share a cabin with Bruce and mom for several years, and Andria and Mason in recent years also made Christopher Lake their recreation destination. Vanessa and Christian, Kristin and Petra…I’m sure all have wonderful memories at Christopher Lake with Bruce. It is a terrible loss for all the grandchildren that time with him at the lake has ended, especially for little Wilder who never had a chance to be there with his grandpa. I know our kids are especially going to miss playing board games with grandpa, time by the fire, and cruising around on the pontoon boat. He loved exploring the north with trips to Crean at Waskesiu with the boats cruising the big beautiful lake, fishing, and ending in beach side hotdog roasts. Some of the drift wood from one of those Crean trips is part of the arrangement here. He and I loved planning food and snacks for those trips and would giggle at mom when she got aggravated with the food prep. Bruce found adventure in knowledge and loved learning about new things and planning …his phone or tablet was never far from reach so he could look up some piece of information that someone was wondering about. His electric bicycle was a great source of adventure for him bike riding and touring around the city … for example, last spring he rode his electric bike downtown and took in an air guitar competition .. just because…which we joined him for and had a lot of laughs. We were lucky enough to live 5 houses down from Bruce, mom and Kaitlin…and in summer months would often see him cruising by our back path on his bike (very fast I might add)….it is heart wrenching to know that we will never see that again. These days I can barely look out our back window, because I used to look out and know he might be seeing the trees and sunset as well, and right now nothing feels the same knowing he is not sharing the view. Family. For Bruce, if you were family he was, as my husband put it, “all in†and he would help you in any way he could. When my husband’s father passed away Bruce stepped up and became such an amazing support for him and our family. He’s been a wonderful son-in-law to my gramma, including her on various excursions, helping her with anything she needed, and showing her patience and kindness. If he was able, he was a cheering fan at many of our kids’ hockey and football games and swim meets. He was the organizer and planner of many family reunions, loved relations and generations of people sharing time together, and simply bringing people together. Everyone felt that they had a special relationship with him..he had a way relating to people with his kind and accepting nature and quietly showered people with love. Spirit and faith. Over the years, I’ve come to regard our patriarch, Bruce, as my family’s spiritual leader. Bruce enriched my and my children’s life with much spirituality and grace. When we were recently moving, I believe he helped us sell our home, by giving us a St. Joseph statue to pray and place in our yard. It sold in 3 days. Then, when we moved into our new home, Bruce led us all around the house blessing it with Holy Water. It was so special and meaningful to me and I’ll never forget it. Thanksgiving wasn’t just for eating turkey with Bruce…he led us in sitting and sharing with each other what we were thankful for…always being sure the true meaning of celebrations were recognized. We were blessed to celebrate several traditional Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinners with him…he would work for days on food preparation, get hay for the table and always set an empty place for those who had passed before us, following tradition. I experienced my first blessing of the Easter food basket at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with him. He had a reverence for ceremony and many dinners were started by his saying grace and making a toasts . My kids are careful to follow his rule of always making eye contact with people you are toasting with. His thought and care he put into everything infused life with meaning and enrichment. To me, Bruce was angel on earth, doing God’s work here. On Nov 19th, at about 2pm, there was an accident. From that point on, for many of us, our world has been spinning and spiralling in what seems out of control. Then started days upon days spent in the ICU waiting room with my mom and the girls, Kaitlin, Vanessa, Kristin, Andria, Bruce’s siblings, Deb and Loretta, and Neil, our partners, his mother Bernadette, and my Aunt Sheree. We found ourselves anchored there, to him and to each other. I had never spent so much time with so many of Bruce’s relatives together in one place and will be forever moved and comforted by how much we were brought together and were very much connected through that time. I know that Bruce wanted us together, supporting him and each other. And as we sat there day after day, I was struck by the goodness of these people. Bruce’s people..all influenced and grown in Bruce’s love. And now, the pain is deep and the loss is far reaching. Despite our desperate prayers and pleading for our Angel Bruce to remain with us here, he is no longer. We struggle and ask why he can’t be here with us doing God’s work…why he had to leave us now and how we will go on without him. But, like the bible verse his mother, Bernadette, carefully chose for his remembrance card says , God took him to protect his tender heart from something…and I find comfort in this. We have to let you go so God can protect you. So reluctantly saying goodbye for now, I promise to try my best to carry on things you’ve taught us, and to honour your devotion to family and God. I thank God for the time we were blessed with you in our lives, and hold on and wait for the day that I will see you again. | Sorochuk, Bruce Ernest (I426)

| 284 | Obituary of Peter Goshulak It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Peter Goshulak on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at the age of 93. He passed peacefully surrounded by his family. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather had four favorite things in life: family and friends, church and community, summers at the family cottage at Clear Lake and competing with his golfing buddies in the annual Tamarack Golf Tournament. We will be forever grateful that our parents taught us the core values of integrity, hard work, self-confidence, responsibility, giving back to the community, and spirituality. He was born on July 15, 1929, in Dauphin, Manitoba to Howard Goshulak and Malancka (Millie) Trache. Growing up, Dad’s life was not without difficulties. His father passed away when he was five, and his widowed mother raised him and his three other siblings on her own. He graduated from Little's Business College and worked with the Manitoba Department of Justice for 47-years. Dad was well-known and respected by his peers, police officers and claimants during his career as Senior Magistrate and Justice of Peace in the Brandon Judicial District, and Hearing Officer for Small Claims in the South West District. Dad met Mom at the Ukrainian Catholic Church Youth Club, and they married in 1953. They had four children within a span of nine years, and moved from Dauphin to Brandon in 1968. Dad was an active member of the Catholic Church where he enjoyed discussing Father John's homilies with him after Mass either seriously or with some funny anecdote! He was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus, and was appointed Sir Knight (Fourth Degree), after serving as Grand Knight (First Degree) in both the Dauphin and Brandon Councils, and Faithful Navigator (Third Degree). After retirement, our parents wintered with friends in Arizona and then Osoyoos, BC and held cherished memories of special vacations to Rome (Vatican), and family gatherings in Florida (Disney World) and Hawaii (Kauai). Dad was preceded in death by his parents and by his siblings, Walter, Mary and Alexander. He is survived by his loving wife of sixty-nine years, Waldemera “Wally†(nee Laskowich), and their four children Theresa (Ken) of Calgary, Judi (Dawn) of Brandon, Howard of Victoria and Michele (Jaime) of Ottawa, twelve grandchildren, Greg, Laura (Antoine), Jason (Flora), Eric (Lisa), Kylie, Jackie (Howie), David (Carol), Jordan, Kirstin, Laure (Sarah), Wels, and Anthony (Caitlin),and ten great grandchildren, Isabelle, Josephine, Vivienne, Sophie, Matthew, John, Elin, Joe, Eléonore and Catherine. We will forever cherish our special memories and the wonderful legacy he left behind. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, 327 4th Street, Brandon on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. with Father John Okosun as celebrant. A private family interment will take place at the Brandon Cemetery Columbarium. The family extends a very special thank you to Doctors Fourie and Razzaghi and the nurses and staff of the Palliative Care Unit at Brandon Regional Health Centre. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please consider a donation the Brandon Regional Health Centre Foundation “Palliative Careâ€, 150 McTavish Avenue East, Brandon, MB, R7A 2B3, or the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 120 Donald Street., Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4G2. | Goshulak, Peter (I158)

| 288 | On June 4, 2020 with family at her side, Mom passed away quietly and at peace with her life, ready to meet her God in Heaven. She enjoyed and appreciated all the visitations and phone calls from her family the last weeks of her life, in fact at one time she whispered "Did you ever think that maybe I'm faking it because I like all the visitors?!" She fully participated in her last rites, asked for a specific priest and even told us his address! That evening when she awoke, she whispered "I'm still here? I really thought (after last rites) I would go, I could just go" ... She was a phenomenal woman, an incredibly strong and independent woman and made her own decisions, right to the end. We are forever grateful she was able to pass away at home, as she wished. Rose was born on the family farm southwest of Norquay, SK, the 7th of 13 children born to John & Magdalena (Rudachuk) Twerdolclib where she learned to give of her time and energy through her hard work. Living through the dirty 30's and the 40's wartime rationing, she knew the value of a dollar and how to grow, harvest, and cook the BEST food, especially her perogies, cabbage rolls and other Ukrainian delicacies! Rose married Jim Lukey on April 23, 1944 and, because Dad's regiment was stationed there, off they went to Windsor, ON where Arthur, then Larry was born. After the war, they moved back to the prairies, living in various small Manitoba and Saskatchewan CNR towns and Linda was born during this time. Finally in 1958, the family settled in Watson, SK, where Ron was born. Raising a young family was challenging enough, but Mom managed to work outside the home as well, was a contributing member of the CWL and Watson Community Club, and for fun she curled, played cards and bingo. Mom lived in Saskatoon for the last 25+ years of her life and continued her wonderfully active and happy lifestyle, fully participating and volunteering in her community, including at a seniors' care home well into her late 80's. She was very proud of her 60 year pin she received from the Catholic Women's League. Over the years she enjoyed a little travelling as well, including a trip to Spain when she was 85! She loved socializing, playing cards & bingo, knitting & crocheting, doing her ever present word puzzles, watching curling, and was an avid Toronto Blue Jay fan. Her family was her pride and joy and she helped each and every one of us in her own generous way, right up until early March, 2020 when she was hospitalized for a week, with a heart attack, She literally went from "95" to stop. Just as if she planned it. She always said she did not want to be a burden on anyone. She got her wish. Rest in peace, mama. WE LOVE YOU, WE WILL FOREVER MISS YOU. Rose is survived by her 4 children: ARTHUR (Anita Ford) of North Vancouver, BC and his sons Timothy & Robert; LARRY (Dianne Lockhart) of Stony Plain, AB and their children Trevor (Ann Bradley) Emma & Spencer, and Melissa (Bob Bezushko) Kaz & Sam; LINDA (Lorne Binsfeld) of Saskatoon, SK and their children Clint (Corienne Gamola) Jared & Amy, Ian, Sarah (Jason Olaski) Jackson; RON (Heather Kreinke) of Saskatoon, SK and their children Reid & Rylee. She is also survived by 2 sisters Cecelia Dernisky (John, deceased) of Yorkton, SK and Anne Repzuk (Eddie, deceased) of Edmonton, AB, as well as many nieces, nephews, in-laws, friends. Rose was predeceased by her husband, her parents, and by siblings Victor (Mary Ginetz), Mary (Bill) Woloschuk, Elizabeth (Ed) Sheluk, Violet, Albert (Pat Smith), William, Allan (Jean), Marian, Louise (John) Shanahan, Martin. | Twerdoclib, Rose Helen (I113)

| 300 | PEREVORSKYY (Boratyn and Ponykva) During the research, it is determined that Mokryna Perevorska was born in 1874, in Boratyn. She was the daughter of Martha Perevorska, who was born in 1835, in the neighbouring village of Ponykva. Members of Perevorskyy family were only Greek Catholics. To make the research more objective and complete, I have studied Greek Catholic registers of the villages of Boratyn and Ponykva. The documents are: Ponykva: Lviv archives: registrations of births 1767-1831, 1835-1882, marriages and deaths 1773-1826, 1835-1865. Boratyn: Lviv archives: registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1785-1865. Brody Registry Office: registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1866-1942. During the research, I have also found that some relatives lived in the neighbouring village of Volokhy. As the Registers of Ponykva include the registrations of Volokhy of the same period, I have also studied them. Although there are the chronological limits of Registers, documents of some years are not available. According to the chronology of the Registers, the research of Ponykva and Volokhy is done only until 1882, and the research of Boratyn only until 1932 due to lack of time. They wrote all Registers in Latin (since 1919, Registers of Boratyn are Ukrainian); I will write names according to Ukrainian transcription and original names in brackets. At the end of the 18th century, they wrote the surname as “Perevolka” in the Registers, but from the beginning of the 19th century, they wrote it as “Perevorskyy” (“Pereworski” or “Przeworski” in Latin in the Registers). I will write “Pereworski”. I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was ANTIN PEREVOLKA/ PEREVORSKYY (Antonius Perewolka/Pereworski). He was born in about 1737. He married Paraskeva (her maiden surname is unknown). She was born in about 1735; she died 19.02.1805 at the age of 70. Antin died 30.06.1793 at the age of 56. They lived in Ponykva in the building No 36, and had at least 2 sons: Tymophiy and Mykola. | Perevolka/Perevorskyy, Antin (I4285)
