OLGA YURKOWSKI June 30, 1922 - October 11, 2006 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and Babka Olga Yurkowski on October 11, 2006 at the Misericordia Health Centre. Left to cherish her memory are her children Walter (Carol) of Vernon, BC, Julie (Keith) Nash of Winnipeg and Larry (Teresa) of Airdrie, AB; grandchildren Gerald, Laura (Jay) Murray, Amanda, Meagen, Sara, Adam and Elise; great-grandchildren, Dallas, Dylan and Hunter; sister Tinnie (Steve) Lubky; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Olga was predeceased by husband Emil, her parents Wasyl and Justina Block; sister Ann and brothers Steve, James and Paul. Born June 30, 1922 in Sarto, Manitoba, Olga was the fifth born to Wasyl and Justina Block. Olga and her beloved husband Emil celebrated 52 years of marriage prior to Emil passing away on November 17, 1993. Olga and Emil owned Yurkowski General Store in Sarto for 33 years. Olga was active in the community, catered countless celebrations, and was always ready to help where ever help was needed. After moving to Winnipeg in 1988 Olga continued to keep busy participating at the St. Norbert Farmers Market where her perogies, cabbage rolls and pies were always a sell out, playing Bingo, cross stitching, gardening and her special delight was spending time with her family especially her grandchildren. Olga devoted her entire life to caring and nurturing the family she loved. Her confidence and motivation was inspirational and will continue to stay with us in our hearts. Her faith in her family was never ending and she was a constant source of love and affirmation. The family wishes to express gratitude and appreciation to the staff on Cornish 5 at the Misericordia Health Centre. Their commitment, kindness, and compassion was a constant comfort for Olga and especially her family. Prayers will be held at Steinbach Funeral Chapel on Sunday, October 15, at 7:30 p.m. Funeral service to follow on Monday, October 16, at 10:30 a.m. at St Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Sarto, Manitoba with interment at the Parish cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family would be grateful if anyone so wishes to make a donation in Olga's memory to the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba, or Misericordia Health Centre Foundation Inc.
