  Obituary VERA'S OBITUARY With broken hearts and deepest sorrow, the family of the late Vera Mydan, beloved wife of the late Onufry Mydan, announce her passing at Regina, SK, on June 19, 2019, at the age of 92 years. Vera was born in Norquay, SK, on May 15, 1927, to John and Ann (Cherewyk) Huska, the first of 11 children, 6 girls and 5 boys. At the age of 17, Vera was married to Onufry Mydan. Vera and Onufry lived on the farm until 1959, when they moved to Norquay and built a service station and restaurant. With the help of Johnny and Luba, they continued farming and raised cattle. In 1967, they sold the business and moved to the outskirts of Norquay and continued farming until their retirement, at which time they moved to Canora, SK. After Onufry passed away (2001), Vera continued living in Canora and at the age of 89 she moved to Selo Gardens Regina, where she continued to reside until her passing. While at Selo Gardens, bingo and cards remained her favorite past time and she was always the last to leave any function - to help tidy up. Her door was always open, and she always greeted everyone with open arms and a friendly smile. One of her greatest joys was sharing her love with family and friends who will miss her hop polka dance lessons. Even while at Wascana Grace Hospice, where she was very well taken care of, through her pain and discomfort, she still shared her wonderful sense of humor. Vera’s constant love for her nieces and nephews and friends made her family proud to call her their loving mom. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
