JUSTINA LISKA June 5, 1922 - February 18, 2013 It is with sad hearts we announce the passing of our much loved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Justina Liska. Justina passed away peacefully on Monday, February 18, 2013. She is survived by her children John (Suzanne), Joyce, and Janice (Gary Morwick) and grandchildren Kim (George Francis), Stephen, Lisa, Kevin and Tyler as well as two great-grandchildren William and Andrew. Justina was predeceased by her parents John and Anne Buchko, husband Bill, and sisters Kay, Mary, Olga and Anne. Tina grew up in North End Winnipeg where she met the love of her life, Bill. They were married on April 18, 1942. Her life with Bill was adventuresome and led her to live in Calgary, Yorkton, North Battleford, Regina and returning back to Winnipeg. Mom loved gardening and was an avid bowler. She loved playing cards, especially whist, cribbage and 31. Mom's greatest enjoyment was her children and grandchildren whom she treasured. Most recently she was happy to meet her great-grandchildren, William and Andrew. Justina and Bill spent many happy days at the fishing lodge at Bird Lake. They loved travelling and took many cruises. Mom especially enjoyed her backyard and the outdoors. When the grandchildren were younger, she loved taking them for a walk to the playground at Fraser's Grove Park. Mom loved the theatre, symphony and especially Folklorama. Mom was an excellent cook, but also enjoyed eating out. Her two favourites were Chinese food and crepes. Mom had an impish smile and a great sense of humour which were enjoyed by all her family and friends. She loved celebrating family birthdays, most recently her 90th birthday on June 5. Funeral Liturgy will be held on Saturday, February 23 at 11:00 a.m. at Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church, Munroe and Watt. Interment at Holy Family Cemetery, 4355 Main Street.

Hi Janice, It's Tracey that used to clean your mom's house. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a fantastic woman, who became a wonderful friend to me. I drove by and knocked on her door a few times in hopes that she would answer, but to no avail. I have thought of her often and she will always have a special place in my heart. - Posted by: Tracey (Friend) on: Jan 28, 2014

I am saddened at hearing of Justina's passing. I met her several times when she was with Bill at the Lodge and at our annual banquets. She was a lovely, friendly, good humoured person and a joy to be around. My heart goes out to the family. Stephen Fedun 141 Fishing Club - Posted by: Stephen Fedun (Friend) on: Feb 27, 2013

To Joyce,Janice & John: So sorry to hear about your loss. Aunty Tina was a sweetheart, and a troper, always ready to get up and go. I have such great memories, of your Mom, and the great relationship my mom had with her. I know that our parents are all together now and are at peace. So sorry I can't be there with you but our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Karen & Wayne - Posted by: Karen Whalen (cousin) on: Feb 22, 2013
