  1. 1.  Wasyl (Bill) William SydorWasyl (Bill) William Sydor was born on 13 Mar 1898 in Bldg 51, Spasiv, Sokal Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine; died on 19 Feb 1963 in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba, Canada; was buried on 22 Feb 1963 in St. John's Ukraine Greek Orthodox cemetery, Drifting River, Manitoba, Canada.

    Notes:

    Cobblestone Research 2020

    The research has been done on the base of Greek Catholic Registers of the village of Spasiv. The documents are in Lviv archives, namely: registrations of births, marriages and deaths 1785-1853, 1876-1877, 1895-1910, 1919, 1926, 1931-1933, 1935, 1937-1938.
    I have managed to determine that Trokhym Musiy really lived in the village of Spasiv (his name in Latin is “Trochimus Musij”). He married Maria Yakubchak (Maria Jakubczak) and had at least one daughter – Eva (not Paraska, as it was mentioned in your information):
    - Musiy Eva (Musij Eva) was born January 14 (or 17), 1871. 10.11.1895 she married Semen Sydor; his parents were Ivan and Katheryna Prokopchuk (Simeon Sydor, parents Joannes et Catharina Prokopczuk). He was born 14.02.1871. They lived in the building No 51 in Spasiv, and had at least 2 sons:
    o Sydor Omelian (Sydor Aemilianus) 19.08.1896 DOB.
    o Sydor Vasyl (Sydor Basilius) 13.03.1898 DOB.
    There are no Registers 1854-1875; I did not find any birth entries of other children. I did not find any further information on the family in the Registers of the later period.

    Wasyl married Anna Trotz on 15 Jul 1928 in St. John's Ukraine Greek Orthodox Church, Drifting River, Manitoba, Canada. Anna (daughter of Theodore Trotz and Tillie Buchma) was born on 1 Aug 1907 in Sishno, Region Radehiv, Western Ukraine; died on 30 Dec 1988 in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada; was buried in St. John's Ukraine Greek Orthodox cemetery, Drifting River, Manitoba, Canada.

    Notes:

    With tears we mourn her passing; yet with smiles we remember her always.

    Peacefully, on Sunday, November 5, 2017, Irene Maksymetz passed away at St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 87 years.

    Irene was born July 5, 1930 to William and Anna Sydor. She attended Tartakiw and Kolomyja public schools and Grandview High School. In 1949, she left for Toronto where she was employed for one year in a sportswear sewing factory. Irene married Walter J. Maksymetz on July 27th, 1950 in Gilbert Plains. They then returned to Toronto for a brief period. In 1951, Irene and Walter bought their first family farm in the Gilbert Plains Municipality. Their successful grain farming career spanned over 40 years taking them to retirement in 1991 and their move to Dauphin, Manitoba. After Walter's passing, Irene remained in her home in Dauphin until the spring of 2017, when she moved to Winnipeg to be closer to her family.

    Nothing made Mom/Baba more proud than to see her children and grandchildren learn and succeed through hard work and determination. Her greatest joy were her grandchildren and great-grandson and she beamed with pride and happiness during their visits.

    Irene served on the boards of the Veselka Dance Club in Gilbert Plains and St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Venlaw, and was a member of the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League. She was avid bowler and enjoyed curling. She keenly enjoyed watching baseball and curling as armchair sports.

    The circle of family and friends extended near and far. Irene and Walter were host to many great gatherings at the farm. Entertaining was also a pleasure in her retirement years and the door was always open to happily share her wonderful baking, cooking, preserves and of course her home-made Kubasa. Irene enjoyed gardening, sewing, knitting, crafting, picking wild mushrooms - pidpenky, a friendly game of cards, keeping up with current events and sharing a joke.

    During retirement, Irene and Walter traveled to England, Cuba, Bahamas, Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, Ukraine and from coast to coast in North America. The trips to Ukraine were especially memorable having being able to strengthen the ties and visit with family.

    Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Brenda (Fr. Gregory Mielnik) and Cheryl (Kevin Nichols); her nine grandchildren Kathryn (Thomas Siozos), Pam (Morgan Lekstrom), Matthew and Jessica Johnson, Danylo and Jacob Mielnik, Blake, Eric and Lauren Nichols: and great-grandson Alexander Siozos; and son-in-law Terry Johnson. She is also survived by her sisters: Shirley (the late William Choma), Donna (Orest Romaniuk)and Jeanette (Gordon Clyde) and sister-in-law Adeline (Mike Solypa) and as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Irene was predeceased by her loving husband Walter J. (2003), daughter Connie (2011), parents William and Anna Sydor, sister Walda and brother Walter.

    Donations in memory of Irene may be made to a charity of one's choice.

    If Roses grow in Heaven
    Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
    Place them in my Mother's arms
    and tell her they're from me.

    Tell her that I love her and miss her,
    and when she turns to smile,
    place a kiss upon her cheek
    and hold her for awhile.

    Because remembering her is easy,
    I do it every day,
    but there's an ache within my heart
    that will never go away.

    Connie JOHNSON Obituary
    Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province from Dec. 24 to Dec. 26, 2011.
    JOHNSON, Connie Louise May 30, 1952 - December 19, 2011 A loving and devoted wife of 34 years, Connie Johnson died at VGH on December 19, 2011. Survived by her beloved husband Terry, children Kathryn, Pamela, Matthew and Jessica, mother Irene and sisters Brenda (Greg Mielnik) and Cheryl (Kevin Nichols). Numerous other relatives and friends will also share their loss. Connie will be joining her father Walter, who passed into heaven in 2003. Connie, eldest daughter of Walter and Irene (nee Sydor) Maksymetz, was born in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba, where she received her schooling. In 1970 she enrolled in the Business Administration program at Winnipeg's Red River College. After college, Connie left for Edmonton in 1972 and eventually worked for First City Trust and was relocated in July 1975 to Vancouver. After joining BC Gas in 1978, she was employed in various capacities over twenty years and obtained her CMA designation in 1986. In 1998 Connie joined her husband Terry in his CA public practice in Richmond, to her death. Connie was married to Terry in the Gilbert Plains United Church on July 9, 1977. Connie enjoyed curling in the winter, spending time with friends and being an education advocate, especially during her four years as PAC president at Richmond Secondary. Above all, she was devoted to her family, demonstrated by the fact that she was joined at the hip with her husband, and as her children grew, Connie was always there to cheer them on at every sports event, help with homework and query how their days were. The Johnson children could not have asked for a set of more devoted, loving parents, who were proud that all four children are university graduates. When the children were off at university, they could always depend on her for a daily phone call, motherly advice in an email, knowing that they were truly loved by her. Connie had a great sense of humour, a gift for the gab and a smile for everyone. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. All are welcomed to remember Connie on Wednesday December 28th at 1pm at Brighouse United Church, 8151 Bennett Road in Richmond, with a gathering in celebration of Connie's life that evening between 6pm and 9pm at the Richmond Curling Club, open to all friends and family. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation. 604-275-7755
