MYRNA (MARY) EWASCHUK
March 12, 1928 - February 7, 2020
Myrna married Stanley in 1945 and moved to the Ewaschuk family farm in Silver where her nurturing and loving mother-in-law, Anastasia, took her under her wing. Tom and Judy were born while on the farm and within a few years the family farm was sold and Stanley and Myrna packed up and moved to Winnipeg with their two children and mother-in-law. Ron was born in Winnipeg in 1950. In 1951 Stanley took sick with double pleurisy so Myrna went to work at Empire Drugs where she enjoyed 27 years of wonderful employment with the Synchych Family, who were like family to her. After Ivan Synchych passed, Myrna went to work at Brothers Pharmacy where she enjoyed a further 15 years of employment with Peter and Myron Kurjewicz, whom she adored and where she met her friend Betty. In addition to being a hard, dependable worker Myrna spent many volunteer hours at Institute Prosvita where she made a host of wonderful friends.
At 49 years of age Myrna lost her husband Stanley. Myrna was also predeceased by her youngest son Ron, sisters, Nellie and Anne, and brother Steve.
Myrna was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and a friend to all whose lives she touched. Myrna leaves behind her son Tom (Linda), daughter Judy, daughter-in-law Denise (Nestor), grandchildren, Holly (Cory), Natalie (Joey) and Max (Jennifer), her great-grandchildren, Syrus, Morley, Solani and Kalan, her nieces (who were also her friends), Carol, Linda, Lena, Elizabeth, Kim, and nephews, Martin, Larry, John, Wayne and Darren.
Myrna's family would like to extend their appreciation and thanks to the wonderful staff at the Maples Long Term Care Nursing Home for the loving and considerate care she received.
Myrna's Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 12, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg. Private family interment to take place at a later date.

I always remember Myrna to being a kind generous lady. I remember how much care she put into her flowers on the side of her house, she’d plant marigolds. My sympathies to the family. - Posted by: Joanne E. (Previous neighbor on Bannerman) on: Feb 15, 2020
