Mom grew up in Hazelglen and married Victor Bretchka in 1956. They moved to Walkleyburg, where they farmed together until Dad’s passing in 2004. After Dad’s passing, Mom moved to Tyndall, where she lived until her passing.
Mom will be forever missed by her daughters, Debbie, (Raymond) Kashuba and Karen (Glen) Dudeck, and her two grandchildren, Karleen, and great-grandchildren, Oliver and Celia, and Kimberly (Garret), and great-grandchildren, Carrie and Carson. She is survived by two sisters, Betty and Kathy, and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Victor, her parents, Julian and Carrie Bialek, and seven siblings – Edward, Mary, Adeline, John, Lawrence, Bobby, and Casey.
