Remaining to cherish her memory are her husband Fedir, of 50 years; sons George (Deborah), Roman, Miron; and grandson Mathew; friends and family both close and distant throughout Canada and her native Ukraine. Nadia was predeceased by her mother and father, Anna and Andrij Zinchuk and sister Luba Sribnyj. Nadia was born in Ostryh, Volyn, Ukraine in 1935. She immigrated to Winnipeg with her mother and sister in 1951 where she met her future husband. Nadia and Fedir were married June 23, 1956. Her involvement in the Ukrainian community was extensive.
