With deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of our mother and Baba on Saturday May 9, 2026.
Jean was born in 1936 at Sarto, MB where she attended her elementary school, and went to high school in Ridgeville, Winnipeg, and Steinbach. In 1958 she married Walter Burak of Lorette, where they raised their family and farmed for 45 years. In 2003, Walter passed away and Jean moved to Winnipeg.
Left to mourn are her daughter Carol Huys, son Robert (Irene) Burak, granddaughters Kayla (Nolan) and Kacey, brother-in-law Peter Burak, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She is predeceased by her husband Walter, brothers James, Michael, and Peter Romaniuk, sisters Joyce Melnychuk, Mary Stupack, and Helen Letwinetz, and parents Dmytro and Anna (nee Wyryha) Romaniuk.
The family would like to extend their thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Boniface Hospital.
