Anne Beatrice Kirkpatrick

February 5, 1920 - January 29, 2004

Born in Dana, Saskatchewan to Nicholas and Wilhemina Misiura on February 5, 1920, Anne lived to be 83 years young.

Anne was predeceased by her twin sons Denis and Brent, her husband William and by 5 brothers and 4 sisters. She is survived by her children Peter (Shirley) Kirkpatrick, their children Jeremy (Krissy), and Lonny (Heather); and Marylou Ingo and her children Heather (Acadia University) and Karen, and son-in-law Brian Ingo, all of Kenora; as well as three sisters, one brother and numerous nieces and nephews.

Anne and Bill were married on May 15, 1943 in Saskatoon, Sask. They spent their first years living in Great Bear Lake, complete with a dog team and the midnight sun. From there they moved to Red Lake where their children were born. They arrived in Kenora in 1952, building and settling in their home in Donkirk Heights.

Anne was a devoted mother to Peter and Lou. She spent their early years at home and was a very active member of the Parent Teacher Association. She sat on the executive of many organizations, usually as the finance person. When the kids were on their own two feet, Anne took a job as the bookkeeper for Jack K. Doner, LLB and remained there for 22 years, retiring at 67. Her financial expertise haunted her children to the end. She could be seen at her adding machine when they made purchases for her, wanting to pay back every penny.

After retirement, Anne and Bill travelled extensively and upon his death, she got her driver's license at age 63. We were so proud of her for that. She moved from the family home in 1993 and into the LaVerendrye apartments where she lived until her death.

Anne was always pleasant, soft-spoken, strong in her own quiet way and a great source of inspiration to her children and as we are learning, to many others. She truly enjoyed her friends from Donkirk Heights (we have memories of great neighbourhood parties) and she maintained many of those relationships when she moved into the LaVerendrye. There, she made new friends who have been very good to her, especially as it became more difficult for her to get about. She loved a good joke, a good laugh and the camaraderie of her friendships.

During the past couple of years, as her health failed, she was in great pain, and yet she never complained. She remained interested in her investments, politics and current events. When she could no longer sew, knit and cook, reading became her passion and the library would deliver books to her apartment. She had a running inventory of what she had read and what she wanted to read.

Anne was a seamstress extraordinaire, making all of Lou's clothing until there was protest for store bought items. She made evening gowns for herself and all of her family sport mitts, toques, scarves, and sweaters made by her. We have cupboards of wool and material to contend with!

And we would be remiss if we did not say that her grandchildren were the greatest source of her pride and joy. She always wanted to know what they were doing, how their marks were and she attended Karen's concerts in the past year even when she could hardly walk. They will miss her.

We celebrate the fact that Nannie was able to be in her own home until the end. She, and therefore we, would not ask for more than that.

We love you, we will miss you dearly and we are richer for having had you in our lives. You will live on through all of us. xxoo May the Lord wrap His arms around you and hold you tight.

A reception to celebrate Anne's life will be held at the Lakeside Inn and Convention Centre on Thursday, February 19, 2004. Please join us for "coffee and chat" between 3 - 5 p.m. in memory of Anne.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Salvation Army or to the Lake of the Woods District Hospital CT Scan.

John Hulagrocki

Mr. John Hulagrocki, a resident of Kenora, Ontario, passed away February 25, 2004 at Lake of the Woods District Hospital.

Dad was born February 28, 1920 in Brody, Poland of Ukrainian and Polish descent. He came to Canada by ship in 1929 with his mother Maria and younger brother Steve. His father Theodore (Fred) was already here working for the "C.P.R."

His early working days consisted of helping with the family finances by picking blueberries and fishing. He earned every penny from the "Daily Reminder Newspaper" for his spending money; especially during the winter season as it was challenging to walk in the deep snow around Round Lake and brick yard areas.

During his teen years, he had the opportunity to work on the "Extra Gang" on the CPR (for 30 cents per hour). The crew changed the rails by hand. He enlisted in June 1941 with the "Royal Canadian Army Service Corp" and discharged October 1945. We liked to listen to the stories of the "POW Camps" and mother's stories of the time at Prince George Army Camp when dad was stationed there, after they were married on April 29, 1944.

Football and hockey were two of his favorite sports at Lakewood High School while on the senior team, and especially fishing with his brother Steve for big jackfish at Round Lake because of the deeper depth.

He retired from Mando Paper Mill (Logging Division, Norman Powerhouse Operator and Kenora Powerhouse Operator) on February 28, 1983. He took long walks on the harbourfront, until his declining health slowed him down.

For years he has been a member of the I.B.E.W. Union, Kenora Knights of Columbus, Royal Canadian Legion Branch #12 and St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Dad took pride in remodeling the family home on 4th Street North in the early 50's. Any job he tackled sparkled with his special touch - this included the family camp at Longbow Lake.

John was predeceased by his parents Theodore (Fred) and Maria and his loving wife of 59 years Anne (Luby) Hulagrocki on May 25, 2003.

He is survived by his three children: Margaret A. Hulagrocki (Kenora), Jean Marie Hulagrocki (B.C.), and James J. Hulagrocki (Cathy), two grandchildren, Don (Lynn) Matlock (Kenora) and Kristopher Hulagocki (Longbow Lake), two great granddaughters Jaymie, Helen Matlock and Alexis D. Matlock (both of Kenora), his brother Steve (Jackie) Hulagrocki (Kenora), nieces and nephews. Also, there are relations in the Ukraine.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Monday, March 1, 2004 at 10 a.m. at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre with Father Daren Gallivan officiating. Burial at St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic cemetery in the family plot.

On behalf of the family, we would like to thank all the Nursing Staff at the Lake of the Woods Hospital, Club Day Away, as well as Com Care and Community Support Services for Seniors and the strong support from the local community.

Donations can be made to Club Day Away at Pinecrest Nursing Home, CNIB, the Arthritis Society, or the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
