MARY BOYCHUK (nee Nestorowich) With great sadness we announce the passing of our loving 89 year old mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, on December 6, 2001, at Seven Oaks Hospital.

Mary is now reunited with her beloved husband Matt (1993) sons, Howard (1997) and Tommy (1995) sons-in-law, Raymond Patrick (2000) and Nick Fediuk (2000) parents Pearl (1964) and Peter (1950) brothers, Frank (1928), Walter (1993), Melvin (1994) sisters, Josephine (1994), Rose (1977), Helen (1966), and Anne (2001). Mary was born September 30, 1912, to Pearl and Peter Nestorowich in Caliento, MB. Mary and Matt were married in Winnipeg in 1935. Their homestead resided at the family farm in Arbakka, MB, where they raised their family. One of Marys greatest pleasures was gardening. She also enjoyed berry and mushroom picking in her spare time. She moved to Winnipeg in 1993, residing at St. Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Millennium Villa. Moms caring nature along with hospitality and true friendship distinguish her true personality. Her beauty as a person lay in her compassion and genuine kindnes. At the villa she enjoyed playing cards, bingo, making perogies, and other social events. It is those memories that we will always cherish. Prayers will be held on Sunday, December 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Loewen Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB. Funeral services will be held on Monday, December 10 at 10:30 a.m. at Loewen Funeral Chapel with Rev.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful memories. May God care for you as you did for us. We love you. Arrangements entrusted to Loewen Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, Manitoba. 204-326-1351.
