FLORENCE RUTH ADAMCHUK
Date of Passing: Jan 25, 2014
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryFLORENCE RUTH ADAMCHUK Florence Ruth Adamchuk (nee Drewlo), child of God, wife of Gary, mother of Dylan, Garett, and Jordan, daughter of Tillie Drewlo, sister of Donna, completed her journey on this earth on Saturday, January 25, 2014. She is also survived by Donna's husband, Bert Ottenson and their family: Nickolas; Christopher, Wendy and daughter Amelia; Nathan and Pam; also Gary's family: sister Debbie Adamchuk and husband, Tony Karpinsky; sister, Sharon and husband Scott Johnston and their family, and Aunt Gladys Lyzun. She was predeceased by her father, Art Drewlo, and Gary's parents Steve and Olive Adamchuk. Florence spent the first 15 years of her life in Beausejour, MB. She then moved to Winnipeg with her family and graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1972. Florence spent most of her career in education. She and Gary married in 1973. They lived in Windsor Park for over 35 years and their door was always open to whomever passed through. Florence was an avid gardener, an enthusiastic musician, a creative crafter, a welcoming hostess and a dedicated volunteer, but most of all a good and true friend to countless people in numerous circles. The role she took the greatest pride in was wife and mother. The Adamchuk home became a second home to her sons' many friends. She welcomed them, encouraged them, fed them but most of all accepted them unconditionally. It was not uncommon to hear, even to this day, "Hey, Mrs. A, how you doing?" called across a neighbourhood parking lot. Although she lived with cancer for over nine years, she did not let it dominate her life nor diminish her spirit. She continued to enjoy all of her interests, including travel. A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, January 30 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 600 Cambridge Street, Winnipeg, MB with Pastor Rick Sauer officiating. The family would like to sincerely thank all the health care providers involved in Florence's care but especially the staff at the St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit for all their care and support to Florence and the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Boniface Palliative Care, A8112-409 Tache Ave., Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6, or Canadian Lutheran World Relief, 600-177 Lombard Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3B 0W5.

Gary and boys I was very sorry to hear Flo had passed away. She had such a courageous battle and I'm sure it was due to the love of her family that kept her going. Although we have not seen each other since the reunion probably, you will be on my thoughts. Mom and dad always loved any time you guys spent together and mom laughs at a time she remembers the most. Take care, your long lost cousin xoxo - Posted by: Wendy (Lyzun) pulito (Cousin) on: Jan 28, 2014

We were saddened to hear of Florence's passing. Growing up in Beausejour, we were all fortunate that the Drewlo family was so close and we got to know and spend time with our cousins. I will miss her smiling face and ready laugh at family functions and am so happy we attended family reunions and got to visit with everyone. Rest peacefully Florence, we will miss you. - Posted by: Suusan & Lloyd Bonner (Cousins) on: Jan 28, 2014

Flo & I have been neighbours & friends for the over 35 years she, Gary & boys have lived in WP. The fact we could talk about almost anything when we did have a coffee together, was something I'll always cherish. My daughter & the boys were like siblings in some ways. Great Neighbour, Great Friend, Great Loss!! I will greatly miss her smiling face & sense of humour. Gary, Dylan, Garett, & Jord you know where I live if you need anything! - Posted by: Sheila Robb (Friend & neighbour) on: Jan 27, 2014

We had such a great time in Grand Forks when we met there for Black Friday shopping a few years back. I also had numerous conversations with her at work.
