Rose Korsak, age 85, passed away peacefully at Wynyard Union Hospital on January 16, 2016 with family by her side. Rose was born May 29, 1930 in the Homefield district of Saskatchewan. She the sixth of twelve children born to Katie and Alex Wuschenny. She attended Drumauge Country School, took 2 years of high school correspondence courses and then finished high school in Ituna, Sask. In 1948, she moved to Winnipeg, Man. where she attended summer school, taught for 1 year, then returned to Tuxedo Normal School (Teacher’s College) where she graduated in 1952. Her first teaching job was teaching grades 1 and 2 in a 3 room school in Dominion City, Man. In 1955, she started teaching school at the Edgebrook Country School where she met Mike Korsak. They were married in Ituna, Sk. on July 8, 1956 and returned to live on the farm in the Edgebrook district--south of Kandahar. Her last teaching job was at Copeland School, Grades 1-8 in 1964-65 where she also started the first Kindergarten program in the community. Rose was the ultimate farm wife, raising five children, cooking for family and work crews, planting big gardens, tending to her yard, milking cows and raising thousands of chickens. As a result, Rose was fondly called “Chicken Grandma”. She was famous for her borscht, breads, buns, poppy seed rolls, perogies and cabbage rolls and was one of the original vendors when the Wynyard Farmer’s Market began in the mid 1970’s. Her garden fed many and no one ever left the farm without a meal or at least coffee and a cinnamon bun. As a result, she had many customers for her baking and cooking until spring 2015. Rose had a huge interest in current events, politics and Biblical teachings. She also loved to knit and crochet. She was timid about travelling too far, but loved her trips to Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta to visit family. She also enjoyed trips to New Jersey, North Carolina and visited the beaches. When she was 80 years old, she cruised the Las Vegas Casino Strip and enjoyed Christmas there with the children and grandchildren.
