NELLIE PEYKO
Peacefully on October 10, 2023 Nellie passed away at the age of 101 years with family by her side.
She is survived by her husband Sylvester, sister Rose Desautels, grandson Jerren (Angie), her cherished great grandchildren Kaylee, Kayd and Hunter, daughter-in-law Mich Ezako as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Nellie is predeceased by her son Gregory, parents, and siblings Mike, John, Peter, Bertha, Anne and Frances.
Nellie was born in Winnipeg Beach, MB to Mary and Alex Strileski, the oldest of 8 children. She worked hard on the farm with her family before moving to Winnipeg. Nellie always had fond memories of her life at Winnipeg Beach.
Nellie met Syl at a New Years Eve dance and a relationship blossomed. They were married on October 12, 1957. Married, they settled in a home in Garden City where they raised their family and lived for more than 60 years. Nellie easily made friends who kept in touch and always saw Nellie as a kind, generous person who loved people and loved to cook. If you came to the house, you would likely find Nellie in the kitchen. As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses she truly loved God and reading the Bible. She looked forward to a time when the earth would soon be a Paradise and sickness and death would be gone forever (Rev. 21:34, 4). Nellie will be forever missed and remembered by her family and those who knew her.
Special thanks to the staff at Maples Personal Care Home.
A funeral service will be held on October 20, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. (Visitation at 1:00 p.m.) Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. There will be livestream available on the cropo website.
A private burial will follow.

When I think of Nellie I will always remember her loving heart and gentle kindness. When Rene and I became a couple and then married she and Sylvester accepted me as part of their family of which I will never forget. Rene cared very deeply for his cousin. It was always a high point of our trips from Regina to Winnipeg to go to visit Nellie and Sylvester. I will miss her deeply. But I know Rene and Nellie are both rejoicing in heaven. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Sylvester and all the family and friends her life has touched. Sending love to you all.
