HRYNIUK – In the early morning of August 03, 2021 Vicki Hryniuk of Yorkton, SK passed away at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Vicki was born on the family farm in the Calder- Wroxton District to Bill and Rose Elaschuk (Purshega), she was the 5th girl out of six girls. She attended school in both the Scotland and Barvis schools, later moving with her family to the Endeavour area.
After Vicki finished school, she worked at various jobs in her early years and enjoyed her life immensely. She loved to dance and most weekends you would find her at the dance halls, it was on one of these occasions that she met her future husband – John Hryniuk. There was an immediate attraction and after courting for some time they were married in the United Church in Sturgis Sk on November 22, 1955. They started their life together on John’s farm and together they raised different breeds of cattle and grew various types of grain for many years. Vicki worked side by side with John on the farm often operating the majority of the farm equipment herself. A few years later both of their children were born, first Sharon and then Cameron.
Vicki planted a very large garden on the farm where she spent hours weeding, cultivating and harvesting vegetables for the winter months. Vicki often shared the vegetables off her garden with family and friends. Her other interests were baking, sewing, knitting and crocheting.
After a few years of marriage Vicki and John parted ways and she moved to Yorkton, SK with her children and John stayed on the farm.
The first few years in Yorkton were difficult for Vicki and she worked various jobs to provide for herself and her family. After a few years of saving money and obtaining a secure job, Vicki was able to qualify for a mortgage and she purchased her own home in the Fall of 1983.
Vicki worked at various jobs when she first moved to Yorkton, she was a cook at a couple restaurants and a seamstress at three different dress shops. A few years later she successfully landed a full-time position at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre where she worked for a few years until she sustained an injury. After surgery, Vicki took a business course at the Community College and she then worked at different offices in and out of Yorkton.
Vicki had other interests and one of them was selling Avon in the evenings. She excelled in sales and won many prizes, awards and trips during the time she sold the product. She became friends with a majority of her customers that remained in contact with her for many years after she quit selling Avon. Vicki pursued with the interests that she had on the farm to keep busy in the evenings after she quit selling Avon. Vicki often volunteered for many events in Yorkton as she enjoyed being active and meeting new people.

A few years later Vicki became a member of St. Mark’s the Evangelist Orthodox Church in Yorkton which she still remains as an active friend.
While Cam was still living, Vicki went on many trips with him when he traveled to the USA and other provinces with his work, she enjoyed the times she spent with Cam in his semi.
In the most recent years, she travelled to BC to visit her daughter and would spend several months with her each time. During these visits Vicki would travel throughout BC visiting many cities and small towns, enjoying the scenery and culture of the province. She particularly enjoyed walking the many hiking trails that BC had to offer, but in time Vicki wanted to go back home to Yorkton.
