Obituary
Anton (Tony) Nykolyszyn passed away peacefully at Extendicare in Athabasca, AB on January 30th, 2022 at the age of 97 years old.
Anton was born in Poland in 1924 before his family moved to Meanook, AB. He loved the farm life and with six siblings life was never boring. Being the oldest son, Tony always helped where it was needed. He was a very hardworking man who worked long hours at different sawmills and at the family farm before starting his own farm in Westlock, AB, the town where he would finish his career as a janitor. He was a caregiver for his father who passed away in 1993 in Westlock. Shortly after, he moved into town to live with his widowed sister, Mary. Anton had a kind soul and cared for his family very much. He will be dearly missed.
Anton never married or had children.
He is predeceased by his mother and father: Anna and Dmytro; sisters: Kay and Annie.
The family mourning his loss are his siblings: Nick (Edmonton), Mary (Athabasca), John (Chilliwack, BC), Donald (Edmonton); four nieces, one nephew, many great nieces, nephews, and other family members.
Cremation has taken place as per Tony’s wishes and will be buried with his parents in Westlock Cemetery in the summer of 2022. Thank you to Dr. Shaub and the staff at Extendicare for the care that they gave to Anton.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Anton Tony Nykolyszyn July 11 1924 January 30 2022 (age 97)..
