It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear sweet mother and grandmother at the age of 92.
Mom was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ont. and married her love Mervin. They eventually moved to B.C. and raised 3 children.
Mom had endless energy and love for her family and friends. She always had tea and muffins ready for company.

Mom was proud of her Ukrainian heritage and proved it by her awesome cooking. She attracted good friends with her laughter and personality.
She volunteered and KLGH and was a long time member of F.O. Eagles Ladies Aux. She worked for Home Support for quite a few years. After she retired, she travelled to many places with Sharon.
