Their family eventually moved to Nipawin where her father worked for the railroad. She and her sisters took the train to Toronto to find work and Mom found a job at a grocery store. Dad decided he would follow Mom to Toronto, together they decided city living was not for them and eventually they both returned to Sheho to farm and where they married in 1949. Mom was a hardworking farm wife, raising 4 children, as well helping with the farm; milking cows, raising chickens, planting and harvesting a huge garden. She was an amazing cook. She made the tiniest sour cabbage rolls, perfect perogies, the best nachinka and so many of our family favourites. Baking was her passion and she was known for her buns, doughnuts, scuffles, cinnamon buns, pompushky, bran muffins, carrot cakes and many delicious desserts. She would spend hours reading through recipe books. We can all still smell the aroma of the farm kitchen. After dad’s passing in 2002 Mom moved to Foam Lake and quite enjoyed it. She spent time with her best friend Lily and often hosted friends for afternoon coffee get togethers. Mom moved into the Foam Lake Jubilee Home in July 2010. She is a member of St. Peter and Paul (Melnychuk) Church. After church you would find mom and other ladies serving a delicious meal in the diner. Mom was predeceased by her husband Peter in 2002.
