ANTON SHUMILAK On Friday, December 26, 2003 at the Beausejour Hospital, Beausejour Anton Shumilak passed away peacefully. Anton was born on the family farm in Ladywood, MB on August 10, 1910 and was the fourth oldest of nine children. He lived and farmed most of his life. Being on the farm and a "jack of all trades" he was able to rebuild just about anything, from tractors and fixing to sewing and cooking. There was nothing he couldnt do. Anton was always looking for ways to better himself and his loss of hearing didnt stop him. His pride and joy was his garden along with the vegetables that he grew. His brother Stanley and Anton were inseparable always doing things together, fishing or hunting. He was a very generous man, never afraid to help out when he was asked and expected nothing in return. Anton was like a father and grandfather to his niece Noreen and her daughter Leyan and son Dayne. Anton leaves to mourn his only remaining brother Edward. He was predeceased by his brothers, Bernard, Stanley, Jack, Michael, Frank, sisters Mary and Helen. Prayers will be said on Tuesday, December 30 at 7:00 p.m. from Russell Funeral Home, Beausejour, MB. Funeral liturgy will be celebrated on Wednesday, December 31 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Marys RC Church, Beausejour with Fr. Owen Steeves officiating. Interment will be in the Parish Cemetery.
