25TH SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR
ANNA AND LOUIE LASKOWICH

KAMSACK, SASKATCHEWAN
On November 28, 1948 in the parish hall at the Church of Holy St. Jehoshaphat (St. Josaphat the Martyr) in Kamsack, Saskatchewan the Silver Wedding [Anniversary] took place for the noble folks of Luka (Louie) and Anna Laskovych (Laskowich).
The noble Laskowichs are faithful children to their Church, and devoted to the cause of the people. Their Silver Wedding [Anniversary] was not only a celebration with their family, who came from Norquay and the surrounding area, but also a rejoicing with their friends and acquaintances in Kamsack.
They began the next [phase] of their married life with God at St. Josaphat’s early, on a holy day, Sunday, November 28; he [they] and his [their] children started with Holy Confession and Holy Communion.
In the evening at the Parish Hall, ladies from the Women’s Fraternity [Society] prepared dinner and Reverend Fr. Voladimir (Vladimir])Flyak said a few words to the guests of Mr. Laskowich; he addressed the tasks of the Ukrainian family in the time of ungodly Communism, which tries to destroy the family and the people. He encouraged endurance in the faith of the fathers to preserve the native language and customs of the Ukrainian people.
We, as well as friends and acquaintances gave them and their family wishes and gifts. At the urging of Reverend Father Voladimir(Vladimir), who had recently arrived from Lebanon (Arab/Israeli War – 1948) near Palestine, $40 was collected for charitable purposes; $25 dollars which is intended for wanderers [refugees], $10 for the Headquarters of the Ukrainian Catholics of Canada, and to the press fund for the Ukrainian Vista, $5.
Sincere thanks to all donors.
Precentor (Cantor)

AUDRE GRACE SKURA (nee LASKOWICH) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, at the age of 87, on Sunday, March 18, 2012 at the Grace Hospital. Left to cherish her memory are her three sons, Greg (Yvonne), Gerry (Marie) and Sydney; five grandchildren, Natalie (Steve Sample), Amy (Shawn Baraniuk), Neal (Melinda), Nicole (Stephen Kanters) and Mitchell; step-granddaughter, Alexa Cartwright; and five great-grandchildren Mackenzie, Parker, Noah, Everett and Riley; sister Waldemera (Peter Goshulak); sister-in-law, Stella Laskowich, and brother Ezydor (Laurele). Also sisters-in-law Ollie Skura, Helen Dyer; brother-in-law Nick (Emma) Skura, and loving niece, Joann Quigg. She was predeceased by her husband, Harry (in 1995); brother, Herman (in 2006), and grandson, Matthew (in 2009). Born in Norquay, SK in 1924 to Louis and Annie Laskowich, she was the oldest of four children. She attended school in Norquay, Hudson Bay Junction and Sacred Heart Academy in Yorkton, SK. Audre came to Winnipeg to attend a business course, wanting to be a nurse, and was accepted at St. Boniface Hospital but was discouraged due to length and expense. She met Harry, was married in 1944 and they enjoyed 50 years of marriage together. While raising three sons, she devoted most of her time to the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League. As a founding family of St. Basil's Ukrainian Catholic Church, Audre served as President of the Women's League and volunteered at the Holy Family Home. As the boys grew older, Audre and Harry enjoyed traveling, with especially fond memories of Rome, Fatima, Lourdes and other European countries. Part of a close-knit group, they hosted many evenings of cards and conversation. Employed at Lucerne Foods for many years, she then volunteered at the Deer Lodge Centre (over 20 years) and enjoyed watching her family grow. Fondly referred to as Baba, she looked forward to visits from her grandchildren. Her door was always open and they loved her delicious meals and wonderful baking. She was blessed to have a close, loving relationship with her five great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by her many friends at the parish; she attended the spring teas and bridal showers, volunteered at the perogy suppers, and sang alto in the church choir, to name a few of her favourite activities. Since moving to Glendale Court, Audre made many close friends and enjoyed several activities in the block. The family would like to acknowledge the loving care that she received from the staff at the Grace Hospital on 3 South. Divine Liturgy will be celebrated 10:00 a.m., Friday, March 23 at St. Basil's Ukrainian Catholic Church, 202 Harcourt St. with Rt. Rev. Canon. W. Klimchak and Fr. Isidore Dziadyk, OSBM officiating.

Obituary for Esydor Laskowich


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Esydor Laskowich on October 8, 2022, at the age of 82 years

He will forever remain in the hearts of his wife, Laurele; daughter, Shannon (Edward) Nadeau; sons, Sheldon (Kelly), Ian (Marilyn) and Andrew (Brianna) Campbell; his eight grandchildren and sister, Waldemere “Wally” (Peter) Goshulak; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Esydor was predeceased by his parents, Louis and Anne; siblings, Audrey (Harry) Skura and Herman (Stella) Laskowich.

A Funeral Service will be held Saturday, October 29, 2022, at 10 a.m. at Park Memorial Chapel, 9709 – 111 Avenue NW, Edmonton.

Good Morning;

My name is Jerry Yacyshen, and Esydor is my cousin, on our mother’s side. On behalf of the family, I would like to say a few words about Esydor’s life.

Esydor was born on July 24,1940 in Canora Saskatchewan to Louis Laskowich and Annie Musey, both of Ukrainian Catholic descent. He was the youngest brother to Herman, Audre and Waldemera. Most of his youth was spent in Norquay and Kamsack Saskatchewan and finally settling in Dauphin, Manitoba.

In 1955, at the age of 15, with his dad’s assistance, he got a job with CNR as a porter and left Dauphin, Manitoba. He travelled through out Canada for many years, working at different jobs, but mainly focusing on the plumbing and heating industry.

In 1968 he met Olga Smutt in Winnepeg, and in 1970, their daughter, Shannon was born. Because of Esydor’s free spirit, the family travelled and worked in many places.

In 1974, they lived in Headingley, Manitoba; 1976 took them to Regina, Saskatchewan and in 1991 they settled in Edmonton, Alberta. Unfortunately, in 1998 Olga passed away.

While working at Revelstoke in Edmonton, he met Laurele Scott. They were married in St. Albert, in 2000 and he welcomed his three sons into the family. In 2010, Esydor’s health started to deteriorate and in 2017 he retired.

Esydor can be best be described as a free spirit, laid back, fun loving, hard working and a caring soul.

Ezydor had a very outgoing personality. This was always evident whenever the family attended outside events. He would joke with waitresses, make people feel welcome at family events and encourage people to always put their best foot forward. At work, he would always help his colleagues and would go out of his way to make sure that they were successful, sometimes even at his own expense. He loved to laugh, joke around and people gathered around him to be a part of his joy and wit.

Esydor loved all people, but he had a natural gift when dealing with children. This was evident when he held a part time job as a bus driver for disabled children. He would make them laugh, comfort them when thought they were down and make them feel special as individuals. When he retired from this job, the students had a celebration for him as being the most loving and caring bus driver ever.


Besides people, Esydor was very fond of animals. Throughout his life he always raised dogs or cats and had a way with them that was special.

He was very devoted to his mother and father. They recognized his strengths and encouraged him to pursue his life with love and compassion.

Their strong faith was always embedded in Esydor and many times he yearned to return to his catholic upbringing that his parents had always encouraged. One of his last requests was that some of his ashes be placed with his mother and father in Dauphin, Manitoba.

Esydor loved life, but most, he loved his family.

His wife Laurele, and their three son’s:
His daughter Shannon and Edward
Sheldon and Kelly
Ian and Marilyn
Andrew and Brianna

and of course his 8 grandchildren, which he loved dearly and was completely devoted to:

Jonathan
Julianne
Emmett
Keira
Shayna
Alexesis
Clark
Shaelyn

Rest in peace Esydor.
