OLGA MARCENIUK July 19, 1922 – January 3, 2015 We sadly announce the passing of our Mother, Olga Marceniuk, at age 92. She will be sadly missed by her children, Beverley (Ron), Shirley, Darlene, and Barry; ten grand- children; five great-grandchildren; and by many relatives and friends, all who cared for her dearly. She was predeceased by her husband, Michael; parents Wasyl and Antonia Skrynyk; brothers Nick and Peter; and sisters Mary and Pauline. Born in Slater, MB, Olga quickly grew into a young woman with a quick wit and stamina that never let her give up – traits that served her well as she fought devastating illness in her later years. She loved caring for her children, inspiring them to reach high and give back in life. Olga opened her home often to extended family, who remember her fondly for her unfailing sense of humour and the ease with which she could cook for two or 20. She was a talented needleworker, and her work lives on in the homes of her grateful children and grandchildren. Never one to avoid a challenge, Olga became a hairdresser in her early 40’s, and went on to run a successful business for over 20 years. She was an avid walker while living at Holy Family Home, where she frequently brought a smile to staff and visitors as she would stop along her route and offer to cut or style their hair. Olga’s family is very grateful for the kind care of Dr. Connelly, nurses, and staff at Holy Family Home. A private Memorial Service will be held at a later date. Donations made to the charity of your choice would please the family. Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada 204.897.4665, is in care of arrangements. wojciksfuneralchapel.com
