Our mother will be reunited with her mother and father, George and Nellie Manchulenko, her husbands John Hladiuk and Alex Bodykevich and her brothers Bill, George, John, Peter and sister Olive Neufeld and many dear friends. Mom lived a blessed and full life. She was a hard worker, wonderful cook and an owner of a popular catering business, Mary's Catering. A woman who wasn't afraid to go back to school to earn her grade XII and then take courses to earn her home care certificate. She enjoyed volunteering to numerous organizations and was recognized by The Royal Canadian Legion, Br. 141 with a Meritorious Award. She also found time to volunteer for the youth at the Ukrainian Summer Veselka Camp, where she was proudly named "Mama Mary".
