Her family is comforted knowing she has been reunited with her beloved son Michael, who predeceased her in 1960.

Nettie is survived by her sisters, Doris Fostey, Anne Styba and Olga Zarazun (Tony), numerous nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and special friends and neighbours Pete and Carol Selby. Nettie was born in Roblin in 1917, the oldest of four sisters who helped run the family farm. She was proud of her Ukrainian heritage, which she displayed in her Winnipeg home with colourful Easter eggs, embroidery and costumes for dolls her grandnieces liked to carry around her living room. Nettie was a longtime member of the Ukrainian National Federation and Ukrainian Womens Association of Canada, Lesia Ukrainka branch. A gifted seamstress, she made costumes for the original Rusalka Dance Ensemble, travelling with them to Mexico and other places. She also crafted the vestments for priests and headdress for metropolitans, bishops and clergy. An independent woman who loved her home, Nettie spent hours in her vegetable and flower gardens, sharing her harvest and baking with family and neighbours.
