Judy belonged to various community associations in Sheho, from Ukrainian Dance Club, Legion #356, St Mary’s (South) Orthodox Church, and Sheho Town Council. She was a wonderful cook and loved to entertain family and friends. She was never too busy to sit and visit or just to have a cup of coffee and some conversation. She taught her children to respect everyone and that family is the most important thing. Judy was fun, loving, outgoing, and hardworking. She was always there to lend a helping and or to teach her children about their Ukrainian background. She was always patient with us when she was trying to show us how to make pirogies, cabbage rolls, rolling out dough, making Easter brad and a lot more Ukrainian traditions. She wanted to teach and we wanted to learn. She would always say that us kids would have to carry on the Ukrainian traditions, so we have to learn. She will be remembered for her generous, caring nature and her devotion to her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, family and her friends. Her for was always open for anyone that was willing to sit and visit. She loved nothing more than spending the day with family and friends gathered around her. She was especially delighted to hear that she was welcoming her first great grandchild in December of 2019. She will be deeply missed by her loving husband Orest; her children Darcy (Corinna) of Theodore; Dascilla (Darren) Soanes of Yorkton; Darren (Wendy) of Theodore; grandchildren Rayne and Ryame Soanes of Yorkton.
