She is survived by sisters, Helen, Rose, Theresa and Carol and brothers, John, Kasmir, Kasper, Mike, Tom, Steve, Ed, Pete, Frank, Victor, Andy and sister-in-law Emily. Pat was born June 26, 1910 in Inwood, MB and spent her early years on the family farm. After moving to Winnipeg she met her husband Joseph and was wed November 21, 1936. They worked hard and proudly raised their family in North Winnipeg. Pat was active at Sts. Vladimir and Olga and then St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Churches. She was one of the infamous perogy ladies. Mom was an avid Ukrainian gardener spending countless hours tending to the produce that she shared with her family. She gave unconditional love to her children and grandchildren, by birth and marriage, and to her great-grandchildren. Mom always provided a welcome home for family and friends. Christmas time will forever be remembered as the time the family gathered at Grandmas. Grandma single-handedly made an entire feast each year on Christmas Eve. Great food was an integral part of any family gathering and there were always extras to go home with us. Most of her unwritten recipes have ended with Mom but her traditions will continue. Moms work ethic, love, and generosity are some of the numerous positive traits that have taken us forward in life. It is these same traits that we have given our children and will pass on to generations to come. Mom will not be written in eternity, but her love and memory will leave a mark in our hearts. I Love You Mom! Moms smiles can brighten any moment, Moms hugs put joy in all our days, Moms love will stay with us forever And touch our lives in precious ways... The values youve taught, The care youve given, And the wonderful love youve shown, Have enriched my life In more ways than I can count. I love you Mom!
