PAUL ARSENY
(Emerson/ Tolstoi)
April 30, 1921- July 10, 2014
With a degree of surprise Paul passed on peacefully at the Altona Hospital an hour before being released, after 7 weeks recovery and adjustment with chronic heart failure. A cancer survivor, and healing quickly from a broken pelvis last year, he was found too old for corrective heart surgery. With medication and treatment by Dr. Kliewer it was hoped his condition would give more time to continue life in as close to normalcy as possible.
Born in Tolstoi to parents Jacob and Marie (Pidhirny) Arseny, the youngest of 11, 7 brothers and 3 sisters,all deceased. He married Katie (Prokipchuck), on February 1st 1945. They spent majority of their 69 year of marriage on the family farm in Tolstoi, then moving to current residence in Emerson. Paul and Kaitie had two children; daughter Audrey Burgess (Ralph) from Calgary, grandson Tyler. Son Wayne Arseny from Emerson with three grandchildren, Cara Mammosser (Didier), Braeden and Tatiana.
With utmost sincere gratitude we thank Dr. Kliewer, nurses, and all Altona hospital care givers for their kind, caring and compassionate efforts for making his stay in the hospital as comfortable as possible.
Prayers were held at the Vita Funeral Home on Wednesday July 16th at 7 pm. Funeral service was held on Thursday July 17th at 10 am at the Tolstoi Ukrainian Orthodox Church interment followed the service at the church cemetery.
