ANNE GOWRYLUK (nee HUCULAK) Peacefully on February 25, 2010, with her family at her side, Anne Gowryluk entered into the presence of her Lord. Mom was born to parents William and Jennie Huculak in Lockport on December 27, 1921. On October 21, 1944, Mom married her soulmate, William T. Gowryluk. Mom and Dad then set about to populate Kirkness with seven sons. All of their efforts, in everything they did, was for the single purpose of making the lives of their sons and their families better, happier and more loving. Mom spent her adult life as a proud farmer's wife. She was devoted to the family with her love and support. Mom spent many hours in the garden, making sure that the crop was plentiful to feed her family. The garden harvest led to the canning of the abundant crop, which kept the family fed at all times. Her talent for preparing and cooking meals was legendary. On a moment's notice, Mom would prepare a feast fit for royalty, whether for family, relatives, or friends. But above all, Mom loved her husband, her sons, and their families. Mom devoted all of her time to ensure the well being of her family. Nowhere was this more evident than in the relationship with her grandchildren. All of the grandchildren looked forward to their visits with their Baba, with the special times and treats she would provide for them. Mom was predeceased by Dad, and her eldest son Ed. Mom was also predeceased by her parents, William and Jennie; her siblings, Nick, Lena, Mary, Alex, and Dorothy.
