OLGA ZARZYCKI (nee YURECHKO) March 19, 1934 – September 5, 2012 Peacefully with family by her side, our dearest Mom and Baba passed away Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Left to mourn Mom’s passing are sons, Michael (Heather), Gord (Irene), Thomas (Sue); daughter Anna-Marie (Michael); grandchildren Michael, Shae-Lynn, and Ryan; sister-in-law Elsie (Bernie); and numerous nieces. She was predeceased by her parents William and Emily Yurechko; sisters Lily and Olga; and husband Mike. Mom grew up in the North End and was proud of her Ukrainian heritage. She enjoyed playing mandolin for the AUUC and Trembita orchestras. She will always be remembered for her special family Christmas celebrations, fabulous food, and endless crib games. As per Mom’s wishes, a private celebration will take place. Flowers gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice. Mom, you were the most generous and loving person we will ever know. We will always love you and treasure all our memories. You will be forever in our hearts.
