She was predeceased by her beloved husband Peter in 1984; her mother Catherine Stech (nee Zajac) 1956; her father John Stech 1978; her sisters and brothers, Rosie Stadnyk 1946, Mike Stech 1975, Sam Stech 1989 and Helen Ewanyshyn 2001. Elsie leaves to celebrate her memory her only son, Joseph (Helen) with stepsons, Peter, Kelly and Matthew; her niece Sylvia Todaschuk (Ernest); grand nieces, Rosemarie and Charlene Todaschuk (Andrij Czerny); great grand nephew Peter Czerny and great grand niece Tatiana Czerny of Montreal; her sisters and brothers, Annie Shwaluke, Stella Yaskiw, Joe Stech, all of Shoal Lake, MB and Bill (Stella) Stech of Windsor, ON; sister-in-law Rosie Stech of Shoal Lake, MB, many nieces, nephews and numerous friends. Elsie was born in Rossburn Municipality, Vista District, MB on October 24, 1919 where her parents farmed and were parishioners of the Ukrainian Catholic Rossburn Farms Church. Then, in 1928, her parents and siblings moved to Birtle Municipality, Kelloe District, farming there until moving to Shoal Lake in 1944. Around 1950, Elsie moved to Winnipeg, MB where she met Peter who immigrated to Canada from Darachiw, Ukraine. They married July 12, 1952 in Shoal Lake at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church. They were blessed with one son, Joseph. Elsie was very devoted to her Catholic faith, the Church and community. They were members of Christ The King Ukrainian Catholic Church and then Holy Family Ukrainian Catholic Church. They were also members of Ukrainian Canadian Institute Prosvita. Elsie was a very active member of the Church Senior Club. She was actively involved in the Ladies Auxiliary and well known for her work in the kitchen for numerous functions at the church. If you couldn't find her at home, she was probably making pyrohy and holubtsi in the church auditorium. Elsie also enjoyed making pyrohy at home for her family and friends. Her holubtsi and perizhky were very tasty, and she made the best tisto for noodle soup. Some family members are fortunate enough to have learned her magical ingredients for her delicious dill pickles as well. For over 20 years, Elsie was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at Holy Family Nursing Home, her final resting place, and was a devoted volunteer with the patients, with pyrohy making, teas, fundraisers and various other activities. Elsie was very proud and honoured to volunteer for Winnipeg's Folklorama, Ukrainian New Year's Levees at the Manitoba Legislature and to attend and support many fundraisers throughout the city. During the International Year of Volunteers (2001), Elsie was recognized by the Honourable Dr. Rey Pagtakhan, P.C., M.P. for her outstanding service and contribution as a volunteer in the community. On June 2, 1999, the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada awarded a Certificate of Merit to Elsie for her long service and dedication to the organization. On June 15, 1994, His Grace Most Reverend Michael Bzdel, C.Cs.R., Metropolitan for Ukrainian Catholics graciously bestowed the implored Apostolic Blessings on Elsie Lysy in acknowledgement of her services to the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary. Elsie enjoyed the company of her dog Rebel for many years and was fond of gardening. She delighted in sharing the fruits of her harvest with family and friends. Elsie also enjoyed spending time at the beach. Whether it was with her husband in Hawaii and Barbados or with family and friends at Ukrainian Park, Balsam Bay and Grand Beach, she loved the sun, sand and water! Elsie will be remembered as a devoted, caring, loving and hard-working person who put family and friends first. She will be deeply missed by those who knew her and loved her. The family is grateful to the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate and clergy and all the nurses and staff at Holy Family Nursing Home, especially in St. Paul's ward, for their compassionate care as well as the nursing staff at Oakview Place and St. Boniface Hospital. A special thank you is extended to Sister Zoe and Dr. Gorski.

KLASSEN Funeral Chapel 1897 Henderson-North of McIvor-338-0331 JOHN MacFARLANE July 04, 2004 JOHN DOUGLAS MacFARLANE 1920 - 2004 On June 28, 2004 Douglas MacFarlane passed quietly away at the age of 83 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, Dorothy; son Keith (Nila); daughter Audrey Owens (Thompson); and grandchildren, Laurel and Graham MacFarlane and Kyle and Neil Owens. Doug was predeceased by his son Lorne in 1959. Douglas faced life's challenges with unwavering integrity, humility, and quiet courage. He was an intensely rational man who enjoyed treating experiences as complex puzzles whether it be a Saturday crossword or a financial prospectus. Doug was assiduous in matters of finance, but generous in spirit. In December 2002 Doug and Dorothy took all three generations of the family to Hawaii, including Nila's mother Bernice Dennis. Doug was a man of simple pleasures: serving on church committees, curling, playing bridge, searching for blueberries in the woods by his cottage, and travelling. He and Dorothy saw much of the world in the years after his retirement. Doug's life was fulfilled by Dorothy. They were companions in life and love. It was because of Dorothy's unselfish and sustained care that Doug was able to enjoy quality of life in his last few years. Soft spoken and mild mannered, Doug was a man of uncommon courage. During the war he was wounded while a gun position officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery 2nd Division. Later, as a forward observation officer, he received the Military Cross for courage under fire. In peacetime he became a Chemistry teacher, and later principal of Sisler High School before retiring in 1979. Doug was a magnificent grandfather to Laurel, Graham, Kyle, and Neil. Doug and Dorothy took all four of them to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in 1994. Doug took interest in their activities, pride in their achievements, and often expressed wondrous awe at each of their talents. Above all else, Doug was a good man. His life will provide happy memories and inspiration for his family in the years ahead. A service celebrating Doug's life will be held at Churchill Park United Church, 525 Beresford Ave. on Wednesday, July 7, at 2:00 p.m. Flowers are gratefully declined. Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of their choice.
