Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCHRISTINE SAWOTIN (nee MOHR) With gratitude for her life and sadness for our loss, we announce that Christine Sawotin passed away at the age of 92 on February 23, 2014, at Luther Home. Christine was born in July, 1921, in Fischerdorf, Ukraine. She married Jefim Sawotin in 1938, and they travelled to Canada in 1953. Christine worked for many years as a sewing machine operator and sample maker for Peerless Garments. She was a strong, independent woman of great faith, who dearly loved her family, her garden and cooking. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Rita, Bill (Noelie) and Arthur (Dianne), grandchildren, Anita, Brian (Susanne), Walter (Carmele), Garry, Eric (Nadine), Lisa (Arthur), and Christopher (Jennifer), as well as great-grandchildren, Ryan and Heather, Lindsay and Ashlyn, Jennifer and Erika, Chantal and Erick, Jade and Madi, Sawyer, Petyon and Lauryn, and Aivin. Christine was predeceased by her husband Jefim 1980 and son-in-law Bruno Peter in 2009. A family memorial service will be held at the Luther Home Chapel. The family wishes to extend most sincere thanks to the Luther Home staff for the wonderful care provided to Christine, and for the compassion extended to family during her final days. Donations to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba in Christine's memory would be appreciated by the family.

My mother, Olga, "Tante Tina" as we fondly called her in Fischerdorf (Rybalsk) Ukraine. My mother and I extend our sincere condolences to her children Willi, Arthur and Rita and their families. She was a good friend of our family and an amazing and strong person. She was full of life an energy way into her 80's. She was a loving and giving person and we will always remember her. We were privileged to taste her wonderful Ukranian/Russian food and baking. - Posted by: Harry Muntanion and Olga Muntanion (nee Kuhn) (I believe I'm a distant relative from fathers side.
