KOPECK, Elsie: In loving memory of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away on February 15, 2007.

Death leaves heartaches no one can heal,

Memories are treasures that no one can steal;.

Some may forget you now that you are gone,

But we will remember, no matter how long.

Deep in our hearts you will always stay,

Loved and remembered in every way;

In our lonely hours of thinking,

Thoughts of you are always near;

We love you and sadly miss you,

As it dawns another year.

Memory is a loving thing,

It lasts the longest day,

It can never be spent,

Never be lent,

Never be taken away.

-Lovingly remembered by your children: Irene, Mary, Iris. Alex, Ernie. Helen, Jean and their families.

PICKLYK: Mary Picklyk (nee Moroz) passed away peacefully in hospital in Herbert, SK on Monday, February 2, 2009. Grandma was 95.

Mary was predeceased by her husband Michael (1981), sons Laurie Picklyk (Carol) in 1975, and Donald Picklyk (Daphne) in 1993, daughters Bernice (Harry) Pickard in 1999, and Muriel (Clifford) Nimegeers in 2008. She is survived by her daughter Phyllis (David) Murray of Ottawa as well as 11 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren.

Mary was born June 13, 1913 near Ormside, SK, to Nick and Irene Moroz. She was the 10th of 12 children. Mary and Mike were married October 13, 1929 in Tiny, Sask. They farmed near Glen Elder, Sask. until 1945 when they moved to Hyas, SK where they opened a general store. In 1953, they remodeled the store into a restaurant which they ran until retirement in 1974.

Following Mike's death in 1981, Mary lived for a number of years in Heritage Manor in Yorkton and the St. Basil's Ukranian senior's residence in Regina. In early 2004 she moved to Swift Current to be near family - she lived independently until last summer when she moved into an elder care home in Herbert.
