ANNA OSADCHUK (TUMAK) It is with great sadness and family by her side, we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Mother, Baba and Great-Baba, on March 12, 2013 at Seven Oaks Hospital at the age of 86 years. Anna was born January 23, 1927 on a farm in Willowbrook, Sask. to parents Michael and Julia Holowenko (nee Pacholko). Anna was one of 13 children and seventh child born. Anna married William Tumak in 1942 and raised a family of four boys and four girls, farming in Hudson Bay, Sask. until 1961 when William moved the family to Winnipeg. Anna and William divorced in 1966, and Anna married Michael Osadchuk in 1978. Anna has been a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Mary the Protectress Sobor and UWAC Ladies Auxiliary since 1964 to present, receiving her 25 year pin with the Auxiliary which she was very proud of. Anna has also received her 25 year pin from Legion Branch 141 Ladies Auxiliary for volunteer work in the community. She was Secretary Treasurer of the Sobor Ukrainian School and the Ukrainian Dancing School for many years. From 1991 to 2009 Anna was financial Secretary Treasurer of the UWAC Ladies Auxiliary and an active member of the church's perogy production fundraiser team. She was an avid 5-pin bowler, loved to dance, socialize and play cards. Her most enjoyed hobbies were sewing and Ukrainian cross-stitch embroidery. All Anna's children have Ukrainian blouses and shirts sewn and embroidered by her with love. Her sewing machine was always open and ready to go. She made numerous patch quilts for the whole family. When she ran out of family to sew for, she made quilts for special friends and charity organizations. Anna will be sadly missed by her children: Joseph Tumak, Benjamin (Delia) Tumak, Lillian Cameron, Victoria (David) Mowat, Patricia (Ronald) Duncan, Carl Tumak, Katherine Day. She was also blessed with 18 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Family was the centre of Anna's life and she had a deep ever lasting love for each one of them.

On behalf of the Klisko family I want to express our condolences to Anna's family. As a regular visitor to my mother-in-law, Anne Klisko, her neighbour across the hall until she passed away last November 1st, I came to know your mom/grandma and love her too. She was always so friendly and attentive to my mother-in-law who was struggling in the last year of her life. Your mom often pleaded with me to take good care of her and confided to me her fears of losing her good friend. I will always remember and appreciate her unselfish care-giving to Anne. I also will remember one day last summer when I coaxed my mother-in-law out to her patio to enjoy some fresh air and your mom joined us. We had a great time with many laughs, which was so good for all of us as we knew our mom was failing and that this may be one of the last good times together, and it was. I still have a picture of your mom and mine and myself on my fridge from your mom's 85th birthday. It will always warm my heart to remember the good friends that made Granny's life so much better in those years at the Villa. God bless her with everlasting peace. Sincerely, Karen Klisko. - Posted by: Karen Klisko (friend) on: Mar 17, 2013
