Later in life, Mom travelled to Europe, the Maritimes, Branson, Las Vegas, California, Alaska, both by land and sea, as well as cruising to the Caribbean. There were numerous trips to Vancouver and her casino jaunts with her niece and best friend Stephie Hykawy. Mom liked nothing better than a game of cards and visiting. Mom had a tremendous spirit which enabled her to embrace each day to the fullest. Family and friends will miss Babas delicious perogies, perishke and numerous Ukrainian dishes. She enjoyed crafts, gardening and tending to her flowers. She was a constant support in the lives of her family and friends. She was compassionate and caring and extremely family oriented and took enormous pleasure and pride in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom was a woman of strong faith and an active member of the Sacred Heart Church as well as a life time member of the Ukrainian National Peoples Home of Taras Shevchenko. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nursing staff at both Selkirk & District Hospital and MICU at the St. Boniface Hospital for their valiant efforts to save our Mom.
