Canora Courier, October 31, 2007 Page 15 – In memory of:

KRESAK: In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Christopher.

The moment that you died,

Our hearts split in two;

The one side filled with memories,

The other died with you.

We often lay awake at night,

When the world is fast asleep;

And take a walk down memory lane,

With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,

We do it every day;

But missing you is heartache,

That never goes away.

We hold you tightly in our hearts,

And there you will remain;

Life has gone on without you,

But it will never be the same.

For those who still have their son and brother,

Treat them with tender care;

You will never know the emptiness,

As you turn and he's not there.

-Love mom, dad and Conrad.

 

Canora Courier, October 31, 2007 Page 15 – In memory of:

MAKOWSKY: In loving memory of Martin, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend, who passed away November 11, 2006.

He had a nature you could not help loving,

And a heart that was purer than gold;

And to those who knew him and loved him,

His memory will never grow cold.

-Forever in our hearts, Alvin, Bernice and family; John, Thelma and family.

 

Canora Courier, October 31, 2007 Page 15 – In memory of:

ZIELINSKI, STAN: November 3, 2004.

There is someone who misses you sadly,

And finds the time long since you went;

There is someone who thinks of you always,

And tries to be brave and content.

Gone is the face we loved so dear,

Silent the voice we loved to hear;

Tis sad, but true, we wonder why,

The best are always the first to die.

-Forever loved and missed, Darcy, Tammy, Keshia, Chantal, Keely-Che.

LUKINUK, Ron: October 30,1997

Ten years have passed, since you were laid to rest in God's heavenly kingdom. And the 10 years we've missed you.

--Rest in peace, your family.

Elsie Jacquemart, beloved wife of the late Leo Jacquemart of Estevan and formerly of Norquay, passed away at the Estevan Regional Nursing Home on October 21st, 2007 at the age of 83 years.

Elsie was born on November 12th, 1923 in the Gorlitz district to Fred and Ann (nee Demchinsky) Sushelnitski. Elsie was the fifth born along with her parents, she had siblings, John. Dora, Mary and Nick to appreciate this special little package. Later Paul, Mike, Frank and Tony joined the close-knit family. Elsie attended West Wexford near Burgis beach where she completed her grade eight. She contemplated furthering her education to become a teacher, but she caught the eye of a handsome man named George Marendiuk.

In July of 1940, Elsie and George were married. On April 12th, 1941, a bouncing baby boy named Wayne was born. On July 5th, 1942, Wayne's faithful sidekick Lenard was born. Next was a sweet beautiful baby girl named Jean on March 6th, 1944. On June 7th, 1949 a bundle of joy named Bernard joined the family. Elsie worked at the Co-op Creamery and later at SaskTel as a caretaker.

In 1960, tragedy struck when her husband George passed away from job­related kidney failure. A couple of years later, she met another great love, Leo Jacquemart and they were married on November 17th, 1962. On September 28th, 1964 they were double blessed with twin daughters, Karen and Koreen. She loved the farm and worked very hard as Leo worked on the road for extra income. Along with having the twins to look after, she had cattle, pigs, chickens, a huge garden and helped on the fields. In 1990, Elsie and Leo moved to Canora due to Elsie's health condition.

She still maintained a beautiful garden with flowers and vegetables and kept busy with bowling and bingo. They loved to curl, bowl, pick mushrooms and Saskatoons, play cards and go out with friends and family. Elsie was an excellent cook and always worried about everyone else being comfortable, overfed and happy. Her sense of humour was excellent and Leo loved to tease her.

Dementia started to take her away in the late 90s. A horrific accident took her youngest son Bernie in 1999 and in 2005 her love Leo passed away from diabetes. Elsie spent her last four years in nursing homes. She was moved to Estevan in the spring of 2005 and passed away from a stroke and pneumonia with her twin daughters by her side. Her sincerity, love, humour, cooking and loving spirit will be dearly missed.

Elsie is lovingly remembered by her sons: Wayne (lone) Marendiuk of Regina. SK. Lenard Marendiuk of Canora and her step-son George Chernowski of Gibson, B.C.; her daughters: Karen Charles (Gary Vertefeuille) of Regina, SK, Koreen (Derrick) Kopelchuk of Oxbow, SK and Jean (Bill) Zywot of Barrie, ON; her brother Frank (Joyce) Sushelnitsky of Esterhazy, SK; her sister Mary Pilat of Regina, SK as well as all her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Evan A. Strelioff of Canora passed away peacefully at the Canora Hospital on October 20th, 2007 at the age of 41 years.

Evan was born on March 29th, 1966 in Canora, SK to Alex and Mary (nee Dergousoff) Strelioff. He completed his Grade 12 at the Canora Composite School and then went on to obtain his Certificate in Local Government Administration through the University of Regina. As a Rural Municipal Administrator, Evan obtained a Class "A" standing in Rural Municipal Administration. In his career in local government, he was employed at the R.M. of Sliding Hills in Mikado, at the R.M. of Cote in Kamsack, and the R.M. of Poplar Valley in Rockglen. He also worked as an Assistant Administrator for the R.M. of Good Lake in Canora.

Evan was given high praise for his work and his employers came to rely on his professional advice. Evan furthered his education by taking the Winnipeg based U of R Income Tax Course in 1998. He was very proud to complete this course with a perfect score (100%). Evan then went on to open an accounting and income tax business, serving many appreciative clients.

Evan had many interests including sports, fishing and the outdoors. With the Runneymede Raiders Slo­Pitch team, he enjoyed much success as they were a first class team. His fishing skills led him to capture first prize at an Ice Fishing Derby, for a 261b., 2 oz. jackfish which was mounted on his wall. Evan greatly enjoyed the many family outings to various lakes and trips to the city.

Evan was a very kind man who always showed concern for his family. As an example, when Evan received the sad news about his worsening condition, he begged his Mom & Dad to be strong and to live many more years to help Lori care for their children Shayla and Kyle - their interests to be attended to whenever possible, be it school work or developing their admirable qualities of personality. Evan showed great perse­verance in completing any kind of work, whether it be paper work, gardening, fixing whatever he could or just simply shovelling snow. Evan considered his greatest accomplishment in life was having his two talented and loving children, Shayla and Kyle. At the hospital he took them aside, one by one, and expressed his love for them and gave them instructions and advise on how to go on with their lives without a father. "Be strong, try hard and seek what is good in your life", were Evan's pleading wishes as he hugged and cried with his children. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

Evan is lovingly remembered by his wife Lori; his daughter Shayla and son Kyle; his parents Alex and Mary Strelioff of Canora; his brother Leonard of Canora; his sister Nadia Strelioff of Canora and his nephew Jason Strelioff. He was predeceased by his grandparents: John and Polly Strelioff and John and Nettie Dergousoff.

The Funeral Service was held on Thursday, October 25th, 2007 from the Chapel of Leson's Funeral Home at 1:00 p.m. with the Canora Doukhobor Society officiating. Interment followed in the Canora Cemetery. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to a trust fund for Evan's children, Kyle and Shayla, or the Canadian Cancer Society as tokens of remembrance.

Arrangements have been entrusted to LESON'S FUNERAL HOME, Canora, SK (563-5671).
