Obituary
Larissa Arlene Scherban passed away in Yorkton Hospital on February 2, 2023, at the age of 53 years.
Larissa was born on March 13, 1969, to Victor and Irene (nee Kindrachuk) Schigol and lived most of her life in Canora, SK. She was a cute little blond-haired girl and little sister to her three siblings. She had a happy childhood and enjoyed her early life in Canora bike riding with her friends, Ukrainian dancing, skating, traveling, visiting relatives, enjoying time at the family cottage, fishing and catching frogs, and building ice and snow men. From an early age, Larissa loved animals – great and small. She especially loved her dog, Butch, who she rescued as a stray at the school playground. She had several other dogs and cats through her life, most recently her best dog companion, Venus.
While Larissa resided in Canora, she attended the Canora schools and later moved with her parents to Pinehouse Lake for a brief time. Upon returning from Pinehouse, Larissa met Glen Papequash and her first daughter Maria was born. Her educational years included completing her care aid certificate, office assistant, and her licensed practical nurse education. Larissa was proud to have achieved her nursing title and was honored to have received perfect attendance in this program at Parkland College. She was employed at the Canora Gateway Lodge as a nursing aid and later as an LPN at the Yorkton Regional Hospital. She was an excellent nurse and patients years later would comment that they remembered her caring ways and sense of humor, which got them through their illness.
Larissa was married to Tom Scherban in March 2001. Together they had two daughters, Megan and Hannah, along with Maria. The family enjoyed skidooing, quading, fishing and time at the farm.
Larissa was met with many heartaches and hardships in her life which she persevered and was stubbornly independent as her illness progressed. Despite times of stress, she always found the lighter side. She quickly made friends throughout her life and was blessed to have many calls and visits. She was kind and generous in sharing what she had. She was active in co-parenting her three daughters with the help of her parents, and later her sister, Marilyn and brother in-law, Ramey.
Larissa enjoyed many activities in life and enjoyed being busy. Each day she had a long to-do list. She was an avid gardener and had inherited her father’s green thumb. Her home and yard had numerous plants, slips from friends, flowers and vegetables growing. She loved garden ponds, which she filled with goldfish as well as tadpoles in the spring taking joy in watching them develop. She loved keeping aquariums and had knowledge about all kinds of tropical fish. Larissa also was a gifted artist. Although she did not take any formal courses, she would spend hours drawing a variety of animals which are lovingly framed by her family.
She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She is predeceased by her parents, Victor and Irene Schigol; and her ex-husband, Tom Scherban.
Prayers will be held at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 8, 2023, from the Chapel of Leson’s Funeral Home, Canora, SK, and the Funeral Service at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, February 9, 2023, from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, Canora, SK, both with Rev.
