Obituary Overview
Kataryna (Kay) Gulenchyn (nee Sachatsky)
Our mother passed away peacefully on June
23, 2018 at the age of 92. Kay was
predeceased by her husband Michael in 2001, sisters Lidia, Olga and Nellie and
brothers Bill and Nick (her twin) and granddaughter Patricia.
She will be lovingly remembered by her sons
Ron (Anne) and Wayne (Zenovia); grandchildren Jenna Morris (Lyle), Lauren Brown
(Travis), Natalie Besyk (Brad) and Melanie Schultz (Chad); ten
great-grandchildren; and her very special friend Ernie Steffensen. She will also be remembered by her brothers
Mike (Amy) and Stafford (Joan) and sisters Mary Gulenchyn and Jennie Gilchuk.
Kay was born in Anelowka, Poland on
December 18, 1925. She was five when her
family immigrated to Canada in 1930.
They settled on a farm ten miles outside of Arran, Saskatchewan. During her teen years Kay moved to Winnipeg
where she worked at Canada Packers, then as a waitress at the White House
Restaurant and later at Daishowa and Reed Packaging.
Kay loved gardening and everything
flourished under her care. She was a
hard-working woman and always kept busy.
She enjoyed spending weekends and summers at Camps Rusalka and Veselka
with Dad and their friends. She was a
great cook and we often enjoyed the many Ukrainian dishes she lovingly prepared
for us.
During this past year, Mom spent time in
River Ridge II Transitional Health Care Facility and most recently at the Holy
Family Personal Care Home. We would like
to sincerely thank the staff at both facilities for their compassionate care.
Funeral service will be held on Saturday,
June 30 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main Street, with Father
Isadore Dziadyk, OSBM, officiating.
Interment and reception will follow.

Condolence at www.glenedenmemorial.ca.
