  Obituary Overview Jerry Ivan Ewanchyna It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that the family of Jerry Ivan Ewanchyna announce his passing on January 11, 2025 with his family by his side. He was born at Alticane, SK to Wasyl and Ksenia Ewanchyna and was the second of 3 children. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend. Jerry is survived by his loving wife of 63 years (Helen) Rose Ewanchyna, his children and grandchildren: Sharon (Joe) Hader, Terry (Colleen) Ewanchyna, Debbie Ewanchyna (Wayne Kaulback, Michael), Lorrie (Kent, Hailey, Zoey) Farago; daughter-in-law Coralee Ewanchyna (Adam, Josh, Alisa); brother-in-law Ed Dickie; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents Wasyl and Ksenia Ewanchyna (Wozniak), brother Joseph Ewanchyna (Helen), sister Mary Palidwar (Wally), and son Jerry Ewanchyna Jr. He grew up on a farm near Meath Park, SK and attended Howard Creek School. In 1960, he met the love of his life, Rose Dickie. They were married on July 22, 1961 and started their family shortly after. He farmed briefly before entering the hotel business. Later he worked for the Government of Saskatchewan, Property Management. After retirement, he worked with the Commissionaire’s until he was 80. He was involved with Knights of Columbus for many years - 3rd Degree (Saints Peter & Paul Council), 4th Degree (Bishop Budka Assembly). Jerry enjoyed fishing with his family and loved playing cards for hours. He was an avid gardener with a “Green Thumb.” He took up stained glass in his retirement and made many stepping stones for his family. He had a good sense of humor and we will reminisce about all the good times we have had over the years. We will miss him dearly, but he will forever be in our hearts. Prayers will be held at Park Funeral Home (311 3rd Avenue N Saskatoon) on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held at Saints Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church (1202 11th Street E Saskatoon) on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. with interment to follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
