They lived on Manitoba Avenue in Winnipeg, and then moved to the farm near Little Mountain Park. They retired to Charleswood in 1976 and in 1997 moved to Southpark Estates. Mom and Dad loved the land. They always had a lovely yard with lush vegetable and flower gardens. They always shared their bounty. Mom and Dad were very proud of their Ukrainian heritage. They were longtime members of the Holy Ghost Church in Brooklands. Mom was proud to wear her 40-year pin of the Ukrainian Womens League. Through lifes ups and downs Mom remained true to her faith. In later years Mom and Dad enjoyed the Roman Catholic Mass just a short walk away. Mom was a great volunteer. She gave her time to 4H, Womens Institute, Church, Charleswood Horticulture, knitting for Heart and Stroke and would bake cookies for any cause. Minnie and Mike loved to travel in their retirement years. Mom and Dad enjoyed their last years at Southpark Estates. They made many new friends and considered every one their extended family.
