and married Louis in 1951 where they raised two childredn in the
Cowichan Valley. Mom worked at the King’s Daughter Hospital and then
changed careers and worked at the Duncan Forest Nursery for 30 years.
She loved gardening and spending time with family always making sure
they were well fed, she was a great Ukrainian cook. There are not enough
words to describe how caring and selfless Mom was throughout her entire
life, & her imprint on her family and friends will be remembered and passed
down for generations. We would like to thank the staff at Cerwydden Care

A truly lovely and gracious woman. I’m so pleased to have been able to know her better at Cerwydden. She always had a smile and a nice greeting, and when we’d say goodbye, she’d say “Drive carefully and have a good day”… Bless her big Heart.
