In Loving Memory of Helen Woloschuk

Who passed away February 1, 2008

God gave us a Mother

And He tried to be fair

And when He gave us ours

We got more than our share

Although He took her back

One year ago today

We are so grateful for

The years He let her stay

- Fondly remembered and sadly missed 

By children Debora (Gereald), Daniel (Sherry), Connie (Brian), Corinne (John) and families

SCHESCHUK: In loving memory of brother-in-law and uncle Ludwick, who passed away January 23, 2008.

With tender love and deep regret,

We who love you will never forget.

The special days will not return

When we were all together;

But the love we hold within our hearts,

Will remain with us forever.

-Lovingly remembered by sister-in-law Helen and children.

DOROSH, Peter and Mary: In loving memory of our dear parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, mom passed away January 23, 2003; dad passed away February 5, 1984.

Today the sun shines down.

On the graves not far from here;

Where they sleep we could not save,

And always loved so dear.

In a place of warmth and comfort,

Where there are no days and years.

Is where we will all meet again.

And where there is no tears.

-Sadly missed by Margie, Bernice, Beverley and families.

MATICHUK: William, "Bill" Matichuk passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the Yorkton Regional Health Center on January 17th , 2009 at the age of 78 years.

Bill was born March 21st, 1930, on the family farm near Good Spirit Lake, now known as Burgis Beach. He was the son of Pete and Dora (nee Gulutzan) Matichuk . He attended Wysla School until grade 9. Bill helped his parents, along with his brother Metro on the family farm, also operating a general store and later a dance hall. At a young age Bill learned to play the violin. Together with his brother Metro and numerous other musicians, he presided at many weddings and dances.

On July 15th, 1951, Bill married Virginia Hnatyshyn at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Canora. Shortly thereafter, they moved into their present farm location, where they enjoyed grain and cattle farming. Bill and Virginia were blessed with two children, Charles in 1952, and Linda in 1954. He was a Wysla School Trustee, and was employed as a rural telephone line man. He was also a 50+ years Sask Wheat Pool Member.

Bill's passion was his music and he and Virginia had the opportunity to travel to Nashville, Branson and several Hostfeast trips to Minot. Bill can be remembered for playing at many weddings, dances, anniversaries, and socials during his lifetime. Though Bill no longer actively played, he still enjoyed to occasionally jam with a few fellow musicians at senior socials and local town events. He phased out of farming, but maintained living on the farm, taking pride in his yard. He enjoyed harvest time, as he still had the opportunity to go for that combine ride, and joined in for supper in the field. Bill enjoyed drives around the lake, day road trips, going to town for coffee and watching baseball.
