LUBA (LU) CHORNOBOY (NEE NYKYFORUK)
April 11, 1921 – August 21, 2014

Peacefully, on Thursday, August 21, 2014, with family at her side, Luba Chornoboy passed away at the age of 93.

Luba is survived by her sons: Gary (Dorothy) and Dale (Debbie); grandchildren: Shannon (Jon Friesen),Daryn (Angela Heese) and Gavin (in Grande Prairie, Alta.); as well as six great-grandchildren, who all adored their "Nanna": Taylor, Jayden, Bryson, Jaxon, Keaton and Thayda Lu (Lu's legacy lives on!)

Luba was predeceased by her husband of 36 years, Ted, in 1975.

During her years in Grunthal, Lu was very active in the 4-H Sewing club and many still remember her for teaching them to strive for good work. She also trained for, and became, a judge at many Manitoba Horticultural fairs. Her sharp eyes and taste buds were definitely helpful in determining where the prizes should go!

After Ted's passing, Lu pursued her love of travel and began a career with Circle Tours and enjoyed people and places, with trips throughout Canada, the U.S.A. and Alaska. In earlier years, Ted and Lu had visited different places by air or car. Later her dear sister-in-law and friend, Joyce, became her companion. She thus enjoyed many parts of the world: China, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Europe, Mexico, Hawaii and the U.K. Her pleasure was in seeing and learning.

After Lu turned 80, we began to notice a gradual decline in her body and mind. She soon needed extra care and thus went first to Riverside Lions Estates, then Golden Links Lodge and then moved to River Ridge, after Golden Links flooded. The family thanks all the hard-working staff at each of these facilities. You were wonderful.

Cremation has taken place and a private family celebration of her life will be held, as per Lu's wishes.
