Katie worked hard on the farm, keeping a huge garden, raising livestock, and doing farm chores. She also did other jobs like cleaning and home care in Riverton. She made hand sewn comforters and clothing for her children, grandchildren and others. Her special Ukrainian meals were enjoyed by her family and friends. Katie enjoyed her grandchildren, and they, always enjoyed visiting Grandma on weekends, and especially loved her huge garden and her special homemade chicken noodle soup. She was a very giving person. We will miss her warm heartfelt ways. Lovingly remembered and forever in our hearts. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at the Arborg Personal Care Home for their compassionate care for Katie over the past several years.
