VIVIAN (WASYLYNA) SENIUK June 21, 1921 - April 2, 2013 On April 2, 2013, our beloved mother, Nana, Gramma, GrandNana, Vivian (Wasylayna) Seniuk, traveled to heaven to join her long-missed husband, Steve, our Gigi (passed December 1992). She was our hero, fiercely loyal to family, the matriarch of our family, and the best perogie and holopchi-maker bar none. She will be forever missed. She has left to join her treasured parents and her sister, Anne from the Ukraine, her parents-in-law, her brother-in-law, William, and her cherished daughter-in-law, Carmen. Left to carry on her valued legacy is her cherished family: sons, Stephen (Winnipeg) and John (Canmore), her daughter-in-law, Evelyn, grandchildren Michael (Ruth), Jillian ("Nazir"), Jackie (Mark), Thomas (Elena), and Derek (Candice), and her great-grandchildren, Nicholas, Michael, Isabel, Jaxon, and Grady. She is also survived by her brother, John, nieces and their families in the Ukraine, her sister-in-law, Ann, (Winnipeg), and her nieces and nephews and their families. Born on June 21, 1921, Vivian married Stefan Seniuk in June 1936 in the Ukraine, and immigrated to Canada in 1938, with her husband, his brother and wife, and their parents. They lived in Hythe, AB, for 11 years, and then moved to their permanent home in Winnipeg in 1949. She worked side-by-side with her husband as they built their family business, working several factory jobs, gardening, cooking, creating beautiful needlepoint, and knitting countless sweaters and scarves for her children and grandchildren. She and her husband established a life of security and love, providing a solid foundation on which the next generation thrived. Vivian was a hard-working, wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. She provided love and support for her family, advised and inspired us all, and was always there for us through our joys and sorrows. She loved and lived for her family. In keeping with Vivian's wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family interment will take place at a later date. The family wishes to thank the staff on the Cornish sixth floor at the Misericordia Hospital for their compassionate care and respect of Vivian for the past year, and of her and her family during her passing.
