Obituary
It is with extreme sadness, the family of the late Steve Gulka, beloved husband of Natalie Gulka of Canora, SK, announce his passing on December 23, 2024, at the age of 94 years.
Steve was born on October 25, 1930, to Stanley and Pauline (nee Panasiewich) Gulka on a farm south of Preeceville, SK. When Steve was four years old, his family moved to the present-day farmyard, northwest of Canora, SK. The family continued to grow with the birth of his sisters, Betty and Hazel, to complete the family.
Steve attended Wergeland country school; however, his only interest was being on the farm. Through the 1950s, Steve would board the train in Buchanan after harvest and travel to Prince George, BC, where he would work in lumber camps. Steve would return in spring with all his pay cheques, and this is where he met his future wife, Natalie Romashenko, who was working at the bank.
Steve and Natalie were married on September 5, 1959, and enjoyed 65 years together. They raised two sons, Roman and Zenovie.
Steve was an avid curler, and he was the ice maker at the Canora curling rink throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.
Steve was a faithful parishioner of Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church as well as a fourth-degree knight with the Knights of Columbus.
Farming held a special place in his heart. Throughout his life, he enjoyed farming with his sons – a legacy they will continue for years to come.
A loving husband, father and grandfather, Steve will be missed by all who knew and loved him. May his memory be eternal.
Steve was predeceased by his parents, Stanley and Pauline Gulka.
He will lovingly be remembered and greatly missed by his wife, Natalie; his children, Roman (Tracy) and Zenovie (Leslie); grandchildren: Abby, Jill, Mackenzie, and Jacob; and his sisters, Betty Deschamps and Hazel Johnson.
In his honour, a Funeral Liturgy was celebrated at 10:00 a.m., Monday, December 30, 2024, from the Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church, Canora, SK, with Rev. Fr. Ivan Simko as celebrant. Rite of Committal followed in the Canora Cemetery, Canora, SK. Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to the Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church Building Fund, as tokens of remembrance, in memory of Steve Gulka.
