HELEN STEFANYSHYN October 14, 1931 December 4, 2012 It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Helen Stefanyshyn on December 4, 2012. Born in St. Boniface, MB, Helen grew up and received her education in Winnipeg. In 1953 she married the love of her life, Mike. Helen was a very loving and caring person who was especially devoted to her family. Her aim in life was to help and please everyone with whom she came in contact. She had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. Helen was predeceased by her husband, Mike, her brother Walter Murdzak and her parents Harry and Mary Murdzak. Helen leaves to treasure her memory her daughter, Karen Shakespeare (Norman), her son Greg (Kim), her cherished grandson Michael Bosko (Christine) and his family, her cherished granddaughter Paige Stefanyshyn and her family, sisters Jean Korol and Carol Murdzak, nephews Walter Korol and Joseph Korol and their families, and her devoted dog and companion Sonny Jr. At Helen's request, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be conducted by Rev. Marc Whitehead on Monday, December 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at Friends Funeral Service, 2146 Main Street. To My Family I go from you gently for it is my time To take the next step In this journey of mine Don't grieve for me long I've not left you alone For I will be with you In the love that we've known, That love is forever, And some day when it's time You'll join me again On this journey of mine. - Anonymous In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Helen's memory to Golden Door Geriatric Centre. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to Dr. Sheila Domke and the staff at Golden Door Geriatric Centre for their care and support.
