At an early age she left the Ukraine to seek employment in Germany and then on to Belgium where she met and married Joseph Feszczak on May 13, 1946. In May of 1951 they left Belgium by boat for Canada to make a better life for themselves, settling in Winnipeg. Stefania began her employment as a seamstress working for several sewing factories and then moved on to St. Boniface Hospital where she worked in housekeeping for 15 years, retiring as a supervisor.
