ANASTASIA CHARCHUK (CHMIL, POLISCHUK) (nee KUZ) Peacefully on June 4, 2004 at St. Josephs Residence, Anastasia Charchuk beloved wife of the late Stanley Charchuk of Winnipeg passed away at the age of 91. Anastasia was born on August 12, 1912 in the village of Bogdanivka-Hulia-Pole, Piedvolocheski Raion, Ternopol Oblast, Ukraine. Immigrating to Canada in 1928, she married William Polischuk the following year. Her son Donald was born of this union. Predeceased by William in 1936, she married William Chmil in 1938. Together, they moved to Middlechurch, MB where they resided for the next 35 years. Anastasia was an extremely hard worker and she derived much joy from her farm that she shared with William. Anastasia loved gardening and was always eager to share her harvest with her many friends. In addition to gardening, Anastasia enjoyed raising both poultry and livestock. Upon the death of her second husband in 1973, she moved to Winnipeg where life would be easier for her. In 1974 she married Stanley Charchuk. Together they travelled to the Ukraine and Florida; enjoying their time together. Anastasia was predeceased by Stanley in 1986 and by her stepdaughter Wanda Nebloch in April of 2004. While Anastasia suffered many great losses in her life, her greatest loss occurred in 1963 when her beloved son Donald passed away. However, by 1969, the birth of her first grandson Patrick and in 1971 the birth of her second grandson Michael brought her an abundance of joy and happiness. Left to mourn her loss is Anastasias daughter-in-law Natalie Byrne (John) of West St. Paul, MB; and sons, Patrick of Toronto, ON and Michael of West St. Paul, MB; her sister Olga Martynuik and son in the Ukraine; her niece Jenny Stanford (Ted) and daughters of Wasaga Beach, ON; her niece Olga Ivanyshyn (Tony) and family of Toronto, ON; Bob Nebloch and daughters of Edmonton, AB; and stepson Ted Charchuk of Dallas, TX and daughter of Calgary, AB.
