Rosalia was predeceased by her husband Stefan in October 2007; her parents Sofia and Mykhailo in Ukraine; and her two brothers, Ivan in Germany and Stefan in Ukraine. Rosalia was born in the village of Berehove in Ukraine on March 12, 1923. She spent her childhood in a war-ridden Ukraine where she experienced many hardships and personal losses. As a young girl of 16, she was forced to work in the German camp in the kitchen and farm work. Upon her release from the German camps, she met and later married her spouse of 60 years, Stefan on March 15, 1947. They immigrated to Belgium where their daughter Magdalina was born. Rosalia and Stefan immigrated to Canada in October of 1951. Their two sons, Michael and Gerry, were born in 1958 and 1963. Rosalia was a hard worker all her life. She loved life and people; those who knew her loved her also. Rosalia's care for family and friends and her warm sense of humour will forever remain with us. Rosalia was an active member and past president at the Cathedral of Sts. Vladimir and Olga as well as numerous Ukrainian organizations. She will be dearly missed by all her family: daughter Magdalina (Richard) of Winnipeg, her grandson Nicholas (Dayna) Kaczor with great-grandsons Jeremy and Logan of Edmonton; son Michael (Anna) with granddaughters Natalia and Eva; son Gerry (Helen) with granddaughters Carissa and Hillary. She leaves to mourn numerous family members in Ukraine. The family, on behalf of Mother, would like to extend sincere gratitude to the nurses and staff of Health Sciences Centre, Misericordia Cornish 5 and Victoria General Hospital 5th floor for their warmth and compassionate care for the time Mom was there.

Vladimir and Olga Cathedral, 115 McGregor St. and Divine Liturgy will be celebrated 10:00 a.m., Thursday, May 10 also at the Cathedral with Fr. Ivan Mostivsky officiating.
