loved

In loving memory of George, husband, father, grandfather and

your smiles are gone forever, And

memories are our keepsake, With
which we'll never part; God
has you in His keeping, We
have you in our hearts. -Sadly missed by Adeline, Chris and Claudia, Barbara and Clarence, Carol and Ben, Jason and Cindy and their families. Canora Courier, August 15, 2007 Page 16 Lillian
(Gogol) Parasiuk died peacefully in her home in
Burnaby, B.C. on July 10 at the age of 94. Born August 30, 1912 in Canora,
Saskatchewan, she is predeceased by her husband Bill, daughter Grace, brother
Mike and sisters Monica and Livi. Although glaucoma took away her sight
completely in 2006, she remained in her home with the love and support of her
family, daughter Sylvia (Tony Chesterman), son Wilson (Wilma Hewitson);
grandchildren Lorraine (Philippe Holl), Lesley (Bertrand Bazin), Michael
(Kathryn Dagg), and Laurel (Brian Lawry); and greatgrandchildren Zoe,
Alix, Max, Luke, Cohen, Lily,
Christian and Dylan, as well as the help of attentive caregivers, Leni and
later Weng. She is survived by her bothers Ludwig, Albert and Edmond and
sisters Ann, Nell, Elizabeth, Pauline, Adeline and Jennifer. Lillian
was the eldest of 13 children born to Peter and Marie (Belenchuk) Gogol,
Polish/ Ukrainian immigrants who arrived in Canada as children. Lillian
preserved her heritage, instilling it in her children, and perhaps to a larger
degree, in her grandchildren, who were awed by the intricacies of the customs,
and the beliefs and recipes that are part of her legacy. As
a young farm girl she was hopeful of continuing her education but, due to her
mother's illness, was obliged to replace her ambitions with hard physical work
on the farm and in the home. She married William (Bill) in 1932 and they
entered their married life in the midst of the Great Depression, but their
teamwork, dedication and faith in God carried them through many years,
endeavours and towns in Saskatchewan where they were prominent in the economic
and community affairs of these rural towns. They
finally settled in North Kildonan outside Winnipeg on a small wheat farm with
Bill working at the CNR shops in order to provide access to higher education
to the children. Lillian remained interested in current affairs and books, and
strove to provide a little extra for her three children's education and
childhood needs from the sale of garden produce and cream, as she had done in
her youth at her parents' farm. She and Bill explored their surroundings once
he had retired, driving all over southern Manitoba, sometimes only in search
of the perfect prairie crocus. She
and Bill were heavily involved in the All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church of
Transcona. Lillian was a member of the Ukrainian Women's Association,
organizing fundraising for Concordia Hospital and other projects. She worked
as a caterer at the church hall and was a dedicated member of the church
community which was an outlet for her social awareness, a link to her first
language, and a conduit for her great spirituality. She
encouraged her three children to pursue their educations and helped them to
become a Master of Education with a senior position in the Manitoba Ministry
of Education; a Master of Education with a senior position in the Montreal
English Catholic school system; and a Rhodes Scholar who became a Cabinet
Minister in the Manitoba Government. Her family was her greatest source of
pride and delight. Her support never waned: she treated her family like a
garden, delivering care when and where it was needed and never hesitated to
travel across Canada and later to England and France to tend it. She moved
with her daughter to Burnaby, B.C. in 1991. Lillian
was a true Canadian pioneer, creating an incredibly rich life from hardship
and struggle. She was an enthusiastic and a mean card player. She was a
patriot, dedicated to Canada and its principles of social responsibility. She
was curious and open-minded, fascinated by the many countries, cultures and
beliefs of the world. Funeral service will be held on Friday August 31st at 10:00 a.m. at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints of Transcona, 1500 Day Street. Prayers will be held Thursday August 30th at 7:00 p.m. at the Church. Donations in her memory can be made to the Scleroderma Society of Canada, 95 Woodfield Road SW, Calgary, AB, T2W 5K5, tel: 1-866-279-0632, www.scleroderma.ca.

Hospital on July 19, 2007 while surrounded by her family. She leaves behind
her husband Edward (married November 21, 1951); daughters, Chris (Ivan),
Doranda (Brian), Darlean (Joe); son Carlyle; grandchildren, Carey (Cam),
Darcy, Ryan (Bonnie), Joey, Nicole, Adam, Stephanie and Kyle (Desiree); greatgrandchildren,
Tristan, Charlee and Jayden. Mary
will be remembered by her family as the classiest and most loving lady they
ever knew. Her impeccable style and sparkling personal treasures only served
to accent her gorgeous smile and glowing personality which brightened every
room she entered. Mary accomplished many things in life, but will be
remembered most for her untiring love for her family and the luscious roses
she loved to grow and tend. Her unwavering support for her husband, Edward,
stand as a testament to her strong and determined, yet caring personality,
that saw her through the trials and tribulations of life. She will forever be
lovingly remembered by family and friends. A memorial service was held July 23 at Kelowna. Canora Courier, August 15, 2007 Page 17 Katie
