Obituary for Maurice Joseph Yachyshen

YACHYSHEN - Mr. Maurice Yachyshen, beloved husband of Helen Yachyshen of
Yorkton, formerly of the Rama district, passed away on Wednesday, July 4, 2007
at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. He was 78 years of age. Maurice Joseph
Yachyshen was born on November 16, 1928 in the Rama district of Saskatchewan;
a son of Nicholas and Mary (nee Groshko) Yachyshen. Maurice grew up on the
family farm and attended Boxmoor School and then Rama School. He completed
his education as a student resident at St. Joseph's College in Yorkton. While here
and under the guidance of the Christian Brothers of Delaselle; Maurice was
involved in sports: Baseball, Hockey and Boxing and the Army Cadets. Maurice
enjoyed practical jokes and laughed at the outcome. He loved music, playing guitar, singing, whistling or
humming as was evident to all! As well, if there was a dance; you could be sure Maurice was found on
the dance floor. In 1952 Maurice Joseph was united in marriage to Helen Theresa Korchinski. They
settled in the Mainroad District to farm and break the land. Toiling many laborious hours by the sweat
of his brow and with Helen by his side; his ability to work with his team of horses to take the burden of
pulling was amazing. The family moved to the Bellindean district and farmed for a couple of years then
moved near Rama continuing to farm. In 1970 the family moved to Yorkton, where they have since
resided. Maurice continued to farm in Rama with his family helping him on weekends and holidays. At
the end of a long work day, Maurice always reflected with laughter and jokes about the adventures of
the day. Later in life, Maurice's fondest times and enjoyment was to rebuild a cabin at Canora Beach.
He was admired as an "Artist" erecting a work of art with his own hands. In his senior years Maurice was
an avid gardener; being ever so proud of his abundant vegetable crop to share with his family and
friends.
Above all, Gido loved spending time with his children and grandchildren; telling stories about farming
and the "good old days" Gido was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He was very special to
everyone. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Helen of 55 years; children: Wayne (Ryan and
Tiffany), Garnet and Karen (Tyler), Donna (Eric and Melissa and Shane), Alannah (Aiden and Azlyn),
James and Cindy and two sisters: Olive Tabin and Joan Danylyshen. Maurice was predeceased by his
parents Nicholas and Mary; sister Anne Melnyk and brothers: Walter, Alex and Eugene.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make us happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear
How much we love you
Please don't take our sunshine away."
Prayers were held on Sunday evening, July 8, 2007 from the Chapel of Bailey's Funeral Home in Yorkton.

Parish Cemetery at Rama with Ryan and Lorne Yachyshen, Eric and Shane Statchuk, Grant Mihalcheon

Life
Let me live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unrelunctant soul;
Not hurrying to nor turning from, the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back fear
From what the future veils;
But with a whole
And a happy heart, that pays its toll
To youth and Age
And travels on with cheer.

So let the way wind up the hill or down,
O'er rough or smooth,
The journey will be joy:
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure,
And a crown, My heart will keep courage of the quest,
And hope the road's last turn will
Be the best
Henry van Dyke

We were all honoured to have received one or more of the many knitted or crocheted projects she made.
Family was the greatest for her. She loved her family reunions and the havoc that insued. Joan was always up for a game of cards. If you came to visit there was always food (pork chops) and coffee on the stove. She could take a good joke and also dish them out. Joan always took time to chat with whom ever was around.

Obituary

Bernard Arnold Danylyshen (Bernie) was born in Winnipeg Manitoba on January 16, 1954 to Joan and Mike Danylyshen. Bernie passed away peacefully in Coronation, AB on July 26, 2019 at the age of 65 years after a valiant battle with cancer. His passing in the early morning was a call home to his dear Mother Joan and just hours later she closed her eyes and joined him in heaven. He is also reunited with his son Brett after many years of suffering his loss.
Bernie grew up on the family farm at Rama, Sask. He took his early schooling in Rama and attended high school in Yorkton, Sask. graduating from St. Joseph’s College in 1972. Bernie went on to University in Saskatoon and eventually settled on the College of Education. He proudly convocated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Education degree in 1977.
While at University Bernie met Bonnie Glass from Dysart, Sask. and they were married December 1, 1973.
Bernie started his 32 year teaching career in Pennant, Saskatchewan in January 1977. While there he and Bonnie welcomed their first- born Nicholas on December 8, 1978. He accepted a teaching position in Vanguard, Sask. moving there in the summer of 1979. After a year in Vanguard Bernie, Bonnie and Nicholas moved to Milden, Sask. where he taught at Milden Central School. Their second son Brett was born on June 15, 1981.
While in Milden Bernie took on a variety of teaching responsibilities. Over the course of 13 years he taught Jr. and Senior High English, Industrial Arts, Social Studies, Phys. Ed. and Computers.
Together Bernie and Bonnie raised the boys and were very involved in the community. Life in Milden was busy and good but changes happen. Bernie applied for a posting for a Principal in Veteran, Alberta in 1993 and he was successful. The family moved to Veteran that summer.
Bernie jumped into his new role at the school and the years flew by. After a very successful and satisfying teaching career he retired in January 2009, holding the distinction of being the longest serving principal in the history of Veteran School.
Bernie always believed if you took on a job you did it right and to the best of your abilities. He was interested in everything. While in Milden he served a term as Village Counsellor, was involved in Minor Sports, Curling Club, Recreation Board, Rink Board and Hospital Board. He coached volleyball and curling and devoted many hours to the boys’ ball teams and Scouting. He built wooden toys and crafts, studied photography and computers, collected sports cards coins and stamps, cheered for the Riders and the Blue Jays and always worked on his physical fitness. He took up cycling and in 2002 he and Bonnie went on the trip of a lifetime cycling across Canada with the Tour du Canada.
After the cycling trip he twice inspired the students at Veteran School to take a cycling/camping journey to Gooseberry Lake.
He was always interested in running and had completed several 5 and 10 K runs but then he got serious and decided to start training for marathons in 2004. His efforts took him to Rome, Orlando and San Francisco and closer to home to Kelowna, Regina, Lethbridge, Edmonton and Calgary.
Bernie and Bonnie moved to Coronation in 2004 and he proceeded to renovate their house and build things in the yard. He had a keen interest in model trains and he built part of the yard to accommodate a Garden Railway. Sadly, he never quite completed this long term project.
He volunteered his time to community efforts in Coronation and really enjoyed his life to the fullest. He continued with all of his hobbies and he read everything. After his retirement Bernie and Bonnie purchased a holiday trailer and spent time travelling to various points in the States and Canada. Last summer they decided to try motorhome life and sold the trailer. He was just thrilled to sit behind the wheel of that old bus and they did take a few trips before winter set in.
This past winter Bernie was not well and was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer at the end of January. He did the best he could and remained at home for the most part. He endured a lot of pain but he remained stoic and optimistic throughout this part of his life. He never lost faith and he tried so hard to stay with us. In the end he was so very tired and his heart stopped beating on July 26.
Bernie is now reunited with his son Brett, father and mother Mike and Joan Danylyshen, father-in-law and mother-in-law Joe and Helen Glass and his good old dogs Captain and Sondra.
Bernie is lovingly remembered and missed by his wife of 45 years Bonnie; his son Nicholas (Pam) and granddaughters Gwendolyn and Alice; his two little dogs Duke and Sarge and his grand dog Charlie. He leaves to mourn his passing his sisters Judi (Ed) Richard, Hope Aldred, Doris Danylyshen and his brother Michael (Anita) Danylyshen, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law Carol and Gord Gray; his nieces and nephews Jordon (Adelle) Danylyshen (Oliver); Royce (Elaine) Aldred (Isabella and Jace); Evan (Carly) Aldred (Madison, Lexi, and Hayden); Ashley (Phil) Dao (Savannah and Gabriel); Noah, Emma and Leah Danylyshen; Susan Shipley (William and Sarah); Tracy Updike (Jessica Updike) (Becky Gray (Jeremy) - Alexis and Maci); and Greg Updike (Manuela) - Amelia) and many other relatives and friends.
