It is with great sadness the family of Terry Lucyk announces her passing on November 30, 2022, at the age of 72. Terry is survived by her children, Jason Perkins (child, Cassie Garrison), Rocky Perkins (wife, Bona; children, Jaden, Tyce, and Daxtyn), and Whitney Perkins. She is also survived by her husband, Jim Vennard; and stepchildren, Jason Vennard (child, Grayden Vennard), Holly Harnett (husband, Michael; children, Tyler and Riley), and Stephen Vennard (wife, Tanija). As well, Terry is survived by her brothers, Garnet, Dennis, and Nick; and her sister, Vanessa. Terry was predeceased by her parents, John and Mary Lucyk; her brother, Leslie David; and sons, Jordan Perkins and Nolan Perkins.
Terry was born in Weyburn, grew up on the family farm at Cedoux, and attended High School in Weyburn. After she graduated, she completed the Welfare Worker program at SIAST. Later in life, she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and a BA in Native Studies of which she was justifiably proud, and which she put to use as she entered the Social Work field with the Government, first in Saskatchewan, and later in Alberta. She also had an entrepreneurial spirit, setting up and operating several independent businesses over the years including retail clothing, property rental, and vending machine services. And she also volunteered with several organizations such as EGADZ Youth Center in Saskatoon, Lions Swim Club, Special Needs Children, and the St. Paul Hospital.
After marrying her husband, Jim, Terry gave up her government job as they relocated to St Albert, Saskatoon, Red Deer, and finally back to St Albert, where she settled permanently in 2013 followed by retirement in 2016. While moving about, Terry worked for a number of different government agencies as a contracted Social Worker and enjoyed the variety of new work to which she was exposed.
