Obituary Overview
Always In Our Hearts
The Belenczuk family is deeply saddened to announce the recent passing of Irene Belenczuk at the Foothills Medical Centre on Monday morning, December 17, 2018, at the age of 83 years.
Irene was born in Heidelberg, Germany on March 21, 1935. She immigrated to Canada to live with her mother in 1953, married Mike Belenczuk in 1954 and then started their family. Irene enjoyed gardening, cooking, knitting and dancing, but what brought her the most happiness was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to her family.
Irene will be deeply missed by her surviving family, Brian (Ann) Seymour, Linda Belenczuk, John (Lisa) Belenczuk; grandchildren Steven (Danielle) Seymour, Emily Seymour (fiancé Evan Lintick), Kristina Howe, Roxanne McCready, Derek, Ian (fiancé Cleo) Wollbaum and Ainsley; great-grandchildren Grayson, Brody and Lincoln, Connor and Tannor, Irene’s son-in-law Rick Wollbaum; her sister Margarette Karasz, and brother-in-law Steve Karasz. Irene was predeceased by her husband Mike Belenczuk, daughter Margarete Wollbaum, mother Caroline Gaberdiel and other family members.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the doctors and staff of Unit 46 at Foothills for their outstanding care, patience and compassion that was shown to Irene and her family during her stay on their unit.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Irene Gertrude Belenczuk 2018..
