CHERNIAWSKI, Ann
It is with deep regret and sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Mrs. Annie (Ann) Cherniawski, on Sunday, April 10th , 2022, wife of Joseph Cherniawski, who preceded Annie in 2018. Annie, 95 years old, was born in Mundare, Alberta on April 13th, 1926. Annie was the second of seven children born to Mike and Elizabeth Dziwenka. The family numbered five sisters, Olga (Dan) Rurka; Josephine (John) Cherwick; Francis (Dan) Ewaskiw; Emily (Willis) Bass and Victoria Dziwenka, and a brother Albert (Sylvia) Dziwenka. All of whom have predeceased Annie.
Of late, Annie was a resident of Extendicare Eaux Claire, where she enjoyed the warmth, care and love of its wonderful team of professionals. Thank you to all. We know you cared. Annie met and married Joseph in Mundare on August 8, 1944. They remained in the Mundare area tending to their farm until they moved to Edmonton in 1956 living in St. Clare’s Parish. Annie gained employment with Dominion Stores while Joe continued to tend to their farm in Mundare and worked for the Federal Government.
Annie was an extremely loving and beautiful person in every way. Her love for family was ever-present as she quietly guided them through good and challenging times. Her home was an open house and her table a welcoming one. With Joe’s able hand, Annie led the family and a group of life-long friends on many excursions to Alberta’s lakes, its mountains, and parks. Both she and Joe, were the centre of an especially wonderful group of friends.
Annie is survived by her children, Sylvia Smith-Feschuk (Gerald Feschuk), Iris (Daniel) McCaffery and Donald (Marilyn) Cherniawski. Her family has blessed her with nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Her love for family now reaches from and to each family member, now located in Edmonton, Calgary, Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago and Dubai.
For those who wish to pay their respects, a visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at St. Charles Parish, 17511-112 Street, Edmonton, Alberta followed by a Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. with Fr.
