Христос народився! - UCWLC

Вічная пам’ять
Прийдіть, браття, попрощаймося з померлою, і подякуємо Богові, вона бо відійшла
від рідні своєї і до гробу спішить. Вже не журиться про суєту світу і про многострасне тіло.
Come, Brothers and Sisters, let us bid a last farewell to her who has passed away, and also let us thank God.
She is leaving her relatives and is hastening to the grave. No longer is she concerned about
the vanity of the world and her human passions. Where are her relatives and friends?
Behold we are parting now. Let us pray to the Lord for her repose.
Eternal Peace
”To everything there is a
season and a time for every
purpose under the heaven.
There is a time to be
born… and a time to die.“
Anne (Chmelyk)
Fedyna
25.IX.1936–14.I.2012
Born in Mundare, Alberta, Anne
spent her early years in rural
Kalyna Country. During her upper
elementary schooling her family
moved to Edmonton. After graduating
from Scona High School in
1955, Anne met Victor Fedyna,
the love of her life. Married June
30, 1956 at St. Josaphat Cathedral,
they raised four children.
Petite, a bundle of energy, highly
motivated, possessing many
skills, Anne wore “many hats” as
a daughter, sister, wife, mother,
grandmother, entrepreneur, volunteer,
gourmet cook, sports enthusiast,
traveller, and master
craftsperson, renowned for her
embroidery and cross stitching.
Devoted to her Ukrainian Catholic
Church and culture, parishioner
of St. Josaphat Cathedral
since 1956, and UCWLC member
since 1959, Anne held various
positions and was an active committee
member of the Eparchial
UCWLC Museum.
Anne volunteered thousands
of hours over the years for various
causes, different organizations
and places. In June 2000,
while volunteering at St. Josaphat
Parish Hall, she suffered a brain
aneurysm and survived the traumatic
ordeal. Seven years later,
diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease,
still undaunted she continued
serving the Ukrainian community
and community at large.
Collapsing from cardiac arrest at
Norwood Legion, she passed away
January 14, 2012.
All who knew her—family or
friend—were left with an “embroidered”
footprint on our hearts.
An exceptional woman.

Alice Petryk
17.VIII.1916–23.VII.2012
“We accept it as a compliment
when someone says, ‘You are just
like your Mother.’”
One of seven children born at
Skaro, Alberta, to John and Anna
Nimchuk, Alice, like her father, valued
the written word. She kept a
daily journal and was an avid reader
and storyteller. During her childhood,
the influence of the Basilian
priests, staying at the Nimchuk
home, provided her with correct
altar protocol and practice with
which she served her Church.
Alice mastered many skills for
the pure satisfaction of accomplishment,
for her own pleasure
and creativity, as well as for necessity.
At one time Alice considered
becoming a nurse; however, she
said “yes” to marriage and became
a homemaker and mother
