was born in Dowholuka, Stryj, Ukraine on December 31st, 1906 to Stephan and
Kateryna (nee Prokopowich) Kurytnuik. Sophia immigrated to Canada with her
family in 1911 and settled in Saskatchewan the following year. In 1915 the
family established a homestead in the Poelcapelle District. Sophia married
Mike Tataryn at Swan Plain in 1923 and the happy couple then settled down on
Mike's homestead to begin farming and raising a family. Sophia and Mike
retired in 1984 and moved into a senior's complex in Norquay. Mike passed away
on October 19th,1993. Sophia moved into the Norquay Health Centre on April
17th, 2002 and remained a resident there until her passing. Sophia
was a very active and talented lady who took great pride in maintaining her
Ukrainian traditions. Besides being a dedicated homemaker, Sophia was also a
very talented seamstress; she took great pride in her embroidery of Ukrainian
blouses and shirts for her children and grandchildren. To make extra money,
Sophia cooked at 49 weddings and functions in the Swan Plain and Norquay
districts and she was known for having the best "meatballs" in town.
Above all, her greatest specialty was painting Ukrainian Easter Eggs (Pysanky).
She was able to continue this hobby well into her nineties. Sophia will be
especially remembered for her amazing memory (right to the last days of her
life) and her ability to always be one step ahead of everyone else. She will
continue to guide her family from up above. Sophia
