She will be lovingly remembered by her sister Maria Kutzak from the Vita Personal Care Home, sister Lilly Zyha from Edmonton, Alberta and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was born on May 8, 1925 in Gardenton, MB. It was here she attended school and worked on the family farm until she met and married Dad, Peter Dykun on April 11, 1942, then moved to Winnipeg, MB to begin married life. A few years after, because of their love for the country life, they returned to Gardenton, bought a homestead and began farming. Mom enjoyed being surrounded by her family and friends. She loved cooking, baking, sewing and gardening. Mom's yard with her beautiful flowers was a sight to behold. Her children and grandchildren were an important part of her life. Most of the time, especially during the summer, Mom's house would be filled to capacity with her children, grandchildren and their friends. She always made sure everyone was fed, happy and accounted for. The family wishes to thank the staff at the Vita Personal Care Home for all their care, support and thoughtfulness. Viewing will be held at Vita Funeral Homes Vita Chapel in Vita, MB on October 10 from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held October 11 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Michael's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Gardenton.
