KINDRATSKY - Ilona
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ilona Kindratsky, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Ilona, wife, mother and grandmother passed away on October 7, 2014 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, Yorkton, SK. Ilona was born on November 19, 1942 in Yorkton, the daughter of William and Nellie (nee Barteluk) Lozinski. She received her elementary school education at Moss Lake and North Willow Grove schools. She took her high school education at the Norquay High School and graduated in 1960. Ilona enrolled in the School of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan. She then completed her practical nursing in Yorkton and graduated as a registered nurse in 1966. On October 9, 1966, Ilona married Nestor Kindratsky at St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church in Norquay, SK. They made their home in Yorkton and were blessed with three children, Karen, Lorie and Robert. Ilona loved nursing and worked in many wards at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Ilona retired in December of 2007 and in February of 2008 was diagnosed with cancer. After months of treatment, Ilona came home to recuperate but this did not stop her from travelling with her daughter, Lorie to watch Figure Skating Championships. She enjoyed watching curling and was a season ticket holder with the Yorkton Terriers. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and most especially her granddaughters, Julia, Jessica and Jenna. Ilona had a strong faith which gave her a great deal of strength during her battle with cancer. Ilona was predeceased by her parents, William and Nellie Lozinski and her in-laws, Joseph and Anna Kindratsky.
