It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lydia McKay.
She was the second child born to EVDOHIA and JAKIM Holonko in the Ukraine.
Lydia was 12 years old when the family immigrated to Canada and settled in Park Court, Alberta, where she and her siblings attended school.
Only two years later, in 1939 her mother died and life became very difficult for this family of 6 children and their father. When Lydia was 16 she was on her own and moved to the big city, first Edmonton and then Calgary.
In 1957, Lydia married Donald Cameron McKay and in 1965 they moved to Coquitlam, BC.
Lydia was predeceased by her husband Don McKay, her two sisters Jean Vandevoord and Mary Smith, her two brothers Paul Holonko and Walter Holonko.
Lydia will always be loved and remembered by her son RAYMOND ERIC MCKAY, her Sister Anne Prokopchuk, her sister in law Natalka Holonko and her half-brother Andrey Semitiuk, plus many cousins and nieces and nephews.
Lydia had a beautiful singing voice and we feel that she is now singing with the Angels.
You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lydia McKay March 17th 2020..
