STEPHANIA (STELLA) PRYSTUPA (nee SAPHIEHA) Peacefully on Friday, February 28, 2014 at the age of 98 Mom, Nana passed away at Holy Family Nursing Home. She will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Eunice Flatt (Allan) and Lyvia Gold (Phil), her 11 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends. She was predeceased by her Husband Alexander, Daughter Joyce, sons Victor and Steven, two brothers and one sister. She was a very caring person in which family came first. She loved family gatherings, cooking Sunday dinners, working in her huge garden, sewing, crocheting beautiful doilies, knitting, puzzles and bingo. When her husband passed away she learned to be a very independent woman and her determination and independence led her to her 98 years. She worked very hard all of her life to make a home for her family. She retired from Scott National in which she worked for many years. A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 7, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. at Klassen Funeral Home 1897 Henderson Hwy. Interment to follow. The family would like to thank ALL the Staff on the 3rd floor of Holy Family Nursing Home for the wonderful care and compassion you gave her and the family in her final days. Memorial donations may be made to Holy Family Nursing Home, 165 Aberdeen Ave. Winnipeg, MB, R2W 1T9 or a charity of your choice.

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • I am saddened to hear of Stella's passing. I remember seeing her many times in Saskatoon at my grandfather's house, or at Uncle Steve's & Auntie Tillie's house. Occasionally in Winnipeg too. I have many fond memories of family gatherings where there were lots of aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members. Lots of good food, lots of people, lots of laughter, card games, music, noise and fun. I am sure Stella will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all her family and friends. - Posted by: Kathie Campbell (Sapieha) (Granddaughter of brother-in-law Michael Sapieha (my Dad is Leonard Sapieha-passed away 2010)) on: Mar 30, 2014
