Her cheerful and friendly disposition as well as her sense of order and leadership ability endeared her to all whom she worked with in her many years of ministry -- students, patients, the elderly, staff and sewing companions.

Patrick Powalinsky officiating. Interment was in the Sliding Hills Christian Cemetery at Mazeppa.

Petronella (Patricia/Pat) Makowsky (nee: Ducheminsky) was born on December 22, 1915 at the home of her parents, Paul and Nellie (nee: Ortynsky) Ducheminsky, south-west of Veregin. She was the fourth-oldest child in a family of eight.

Patricia attended Wisnia School and quit before completing Grade Eight to help out at the family farm.

On October 14, 1934, Patricia married Tony (Anton) Makowsky at Mikado. Patricia and Tony lived at the Makowsky homestead in the Donwell area for nine years. It was here that their son, Richard was born. They had rented land next to Wisnea School for a few years and while there, their daughter Judy was born. They then moved to the village of Veregin which was nearer to the farmland that they had purchased.

While in Veregin, Patricia raised chickens and sold eggs to the hatchery in Canora. At various times she had also worked at the Veregin Post Office, the Telephone Office, Skrapek' s Meat Market in Kamsack and Jumaga' s General Store in Veregin. She was also Tony's `chief hired man' during harvest time. In the early 1960s, Patricia took over the concession at the curling rink while Tony was the chief ice-maker and custodian.

Patricia enjoyed knitting, crocheting, sewing and cross-stitching. She loved to bake and cook. Her recreational time was spent curling, singing in the church choir, being a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Ladies' Association and the Seniors' Harmony Centre Choir and volunteering in the community.

In 1965, Patricia and Tony rented out their land and moved into Kamsack. She took on a position in the newly opened Kamsack and District Nursing Home, where she worked until retiring in 1981. She did clothing mending for the Nursing Home for many years after her retirement. In 2005, Patricia was presented with a Life Membership by the Kamsack and District Nursing Home Auxiliary, after 30 years of service. However, the true commitment of her life was her love and dedication to her family.
