Eugene (Yaroslaw) Barna Obituary
BARNA, Eugene Yaroslaw was born in Harrow, ON February 5, 1930. Eugene passed away peacefully surrounded by family on February 17, 2025 at Ed’s House Hospice. Eugene had just celebrated his 95th birthday.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marie (Coughtrey); they were together for over 60 years. He was a loving and devoted father of the late Peter (late Jeannine), Jean (Kip), Paul, the late Robert, David (Joanne), Terry (Sharon), Kevin, Debra (Bob) and daughters-in-law Stella Barna and Karen Barna. He was a proud grandfather who enjoyed sharing stories of his upbringing with his grandchildren: Zachary, Ashley (Nick), Jessica, Natasha, Jaryd, Jacklyn, Kalvin, Anton, Marena and Ryan. Eugene was also a proud great-grandfather to Emersyn (Ashley and Nick). He was a son to Anna and Ivan Barna, a brother to Bodhan and an uncle to John, Dan, Bill and Patty.
Eugene was active in the Leamington community for his entire life, being involved with Boy Scouts and the Scouting movement for over 50 years, receiving recognition with the Governor General’s Caring Canadian award. He supported scouting in the area in many ways, including advocating for Camp Henry. Being proud of his Ukrainian heritage, Eugene was involved in the Ukrainian Community and hosted a multicultural show on CHYR. He also participated in the Leamington Centennial planning committee and was looking forward to the 150th anniversary celebration this year. He worked at H. J. Heinz and then transitioned into real estate, working well into his eighties, as he enjoyed meeting and helping people. Eugene’s commitment to Leamington was recognized by various community awards and acknowledgments. He loved working on the family farm in his younger years and later in his large backyard garden. Homemade foods and soups made with fresh grown vegetables, including lots of garlic, was always his preference over going out. He and Marie could always be found in the kitchen cooking together for their family.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the team at Ed’s House Hospice for their attentive care of Eugene during his stay. We couldn’t have asked for better care.
Cremation has taken place with a private family service at Lakeview Cemetery to follow. Memorial donations may be made to:
