Olga is survived by daughter Eunice Wlock and son Michael (Bev) Wolanik; grandchildren, Denise (Paul) Wade, Peter Wlock, Louise Bentley, Michael (Mary) Wolanik and Laura (Chris) Nordine; great-grandchildren, Katreena Bentley, Michael Timothy Wolanik and Claire Nordine; sisters, Anna Babey, Sister Victoria Hunchak, Natalie Kishensky and Joan Lovelace; brothers, Walter, Bill, Mike and Paul Hunchak, nieces, nephews and extended family. Olga was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Polly Hunchak; brother Nick Hunchak; husbands, Mike Wolanyk and Paul Swystun and son-in-law Raymond Wlock. Olga was born on March 12, 1920 in Hafford, SK. She married Mike Wolanyk in 1942 and they moved to Rossburn, MB where they operated a dairy farm. In the late 1950s, Olga completed her grades 11 and 12 by correspondence. She then moved to Winnipeg where she completed a business course at M.I.T. and began a career in accounting that included Ashdowns, Midwest Drilling and Mall Medical Clinic. Olga was accomplished at crochet and cross-stitch. Many family members and close friends were recipients of Olga's exceptional cross-stitch artwork. Her granddaughters each received beautiful cross-stitch Ukrainian blouses. She was always happiest when surrounded by her family and was particularly proud of her grandchildren's accomplishments. The family would like to thank the priests from St. John Brebeuf and the pastoral care team for Olga's spiritual care over the past seven years. We would also like to thank the caring staff at Tuxedo Villa. Funeral mass will be held on Wednesday, March 16 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Josephat's Ukrainian Catholic Church, 590 Alverstone St., with interment to follow at a later date at the Zipchen Family Cemetery in Hafford, SK. Pallbearers are Bob Babey, Gene Kishensky, John Kishensky, Joseph Lovelace, Chris Nordine and Paul Wade. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made in Olga's memory to the Alzheimer's Society of Manitoba.

Olga's brother Bill just told me about her passing. We were first cousins - my mother, Jennie, was Olga's aunt but very close to her in age and so thought of her somewhat like a younger sister. My sympaties to her family at her passing on. I will always remember Olga as a kind, helpful and generous person - one who was very proud of her Ukranian heritage. When my daughter joined Ukranian dance classes, Olga insisited on making her blouse - one she still has and treasures. Her memory lives on.
