• Notes

  GLADYS' OBITUARY Gladys Yacyshen passed away at the Victoria General Hospital, Winnipeg, MB, on April 22, 2020. Gladys was born to Alvar and Florence (Hansen) Holm on August 24, 1933 in Norquay, SK. She grew up there with her five siblings, two older and three younger. Gladys married Peter Yacyshen in 1957 and they lived in Dauphin, MB, where they raised four daughters. An accomplished seamstress, she would sew for her family and for other people. She sewed many wedding gowns. In her life’s journey she moved to Winnipeg, where she was the plant production manager at Manta, who had contracts with the Canadian Forces. Gladys cherished her family. As her health declined, she often spoke about caring for her little girls and recalled how happy that time of her life was to her. She was adventurous. She flew ultralight planes, rode motorcycles, and thoroughly enjoyed driving. She had a feisty spirit and defended her family unwaveringly. Gladys had a sense of humour. One of Eldora’s friends had nicknamed her ‘Happy bum’. Gladys converted to Catholicism before marrying Peter. She proudly practiced her faith and shared it with others allowing God to change their lives. She had friends who credit her with surviving hard times in their lives. She will be surely missed by all who knew and loved her. Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. Gladys was predeceased by her parents, Alvar and Florence, and her husband, Peter. She is survived by her four daughters: Eldora (Peter), Juliana (John), Peggy Lynn (Richard) and Bernadette (Barry); eleven grandchildren: Blake (Marisa), Jill (Lee), Isaac, Marita, Sister Anitsame (Rosaria), Angelica, Celyna, Raphael, Jenni-Lynn, Vincent (Ashley), and Jonathan (Chelsea); eight great-grandchildren: Ava, Dex, Elena, William, Piper, Frankie, Travis and Jackson; and her siblings: Mildred, Clifford, Joan, Gordon and Deloris; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. In Gladys’s honour, a Private Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, April 27, 2020, from the Chapel of Leson’s Funeral Home, Canora, SK, with Rev. Fr. Franklin Emereuwa, as Celebrant. Rite of Committal will follow in the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, southwest of Norquay, SK. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to a Charity of Donor’s Choice, as tokens of remembrance, in memory of Gladys Yacyshen.
