Tinnie was born in Keld, MB on January 23, 1909, daughter of Wasyl and Annie Liwiski (Makowski). She married Tony Prokopchuk on October 31, 1936 in Zoria, MB. She farmed with Tony in Zoria until 1972 when they retired to Dauphin. She was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband Tony in 1974, her brothers John (Kay), Steve (Nellie) and Matt (Mary) and her sisters Nellie (Bill) Murray and Magdaline. She will be missed by her children and their families, daughter Helen Ranallo of Winnipeg, granddaughter Amber (Craig) Ostermann and great-grandchildren Owen and Gwen of Winnipeg, granddaughter Leanne Ranallo (Dylan) of Winnipeg; daughter Elaine of Winnipeg; son Ted (Eileen) of Windsor, ON, step-granddaughter Nikki Grossett (Dan) of Windsor. She will also be dearly missed by her sisters-in-law, Anne Prokopchuk of Victoria, BC and Stella Proctor of Windsor and many nieces and nephews. She was a faithful member of the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection in Dauphin and past member of the Zoria Ukrainian Catholic Church. Mom's first priority was always her family from the raising of her children to the many years of caring for her grandchildren. Mom was well known and loved for her borscht, perogies, cabbage rolls, and donuts. Her pie crust was the flakiest in town. She was an avid card player and never missed an opportunity to share a joke or her off the wall thoughts on life. A special thank you to the staff of St. Mary's Ward, Holy Family Home for the excellent care and compassion they provided to Mom for the past nine years. Prayers will be offered on Sunday, June 8, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. from the Riverside Evergreen Chapel in Dauphin.

Marvin Procyshyn will serve as cantor. Interment will follow in the Dauphin Riverside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tinnie Prokopchuk's memory to Holy Family Home, 165 Aberdeen Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2W 1T9. Babka, you will always be in our thoughts and hearts. Until we meet again. Vichnaya Pamyat. Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services Dauphin, Manitoba (204) 638-4110
