VERONICA SOPIWNYK With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Veronica Sopiwnyk on March 4, 2016. Veronica was predeceased by her parents, Nicolas and Rose Michaliszyn; brother-in-law, Emil, and niece, Karen.

She is also survived by family in Edmonton, sister, Sophie; niece, Karen's family (Emile, Nevin and Karianne); nephew, Garry and family (Kim, Natalie, Lynne, Emily and Christopher), plus extended family in Winnipeg. Veronica lived her life with fierce determination, independence and faith. She loved spending time with family and close friends. She enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, crafting and being active outside, cycling and walking. She was organized and paid meticulous attention to detail especially when sewing. Veronica was generous and loved to find a bargain. Elaine and Glenn would like to thank Veronica's friends, Ethel and Carol, for their friendship over the years as well as Dr. Anthony Miller and Dr. Ruth Simkin for their dedication and care. In accordance with Veronica's wishes a private service will be held for family and close friends. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation are appreciated.

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • I used to go to Ralph Brown School with Elaine in grades 2 and 3 and I remember her mom volunteering in class trips and field trips. She was actually the first to introduce me to celery and cheese whiz. I still have the cookbook from Ralph Brown where everyone contributed a recipe, Lucky Whip Cake was one of my favorites. They used to live on Cathedral Ave and we all got together at the Pelepenkos' house for a birthday party with Elaine's mother coming over later. Deepest sympathy to Elaine and the whole family - Posted by: Daniela Di Marco (Classmate of Elaine) on: Aug 22, 2017
