FRANCES BLAHEY It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Frances Blahey, on June 14, 2017, at the age of 94 years. Mom was born to Anastasia and Dmetro Yaremus in Skylake, MB. She attended Wheat Hill School during which time she also developed her skills in sports, sewing and cooking. She played baseball with the Chatfield girl's baseball team and continued her sewing while also enjoying her love of music, singing and dancing. In 1946 she married Harry Blahey, which lead her down the path of becoming a farmer's wife and a mother to their four children: Bruce, Angie, Wayne and Glen. Her farm life and children did not slow her down from her community activities. She was a devoted member of St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Church, embroidering many of the fine linens that adorned the church as well as acting as caretaker and being the last parish president and member of the church. She also was an active member of the Chatfield Women's Institute not only serving in various executive capacities but actively participating in catering and fundraising events for the Institute. After Dad's passing, Mom chose to remain in their home, filling her days with working in her vegetable garden, and tending to her many beautiful flower beds. She cherished her visits from her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be remembered for her kindness, warmth, generosity and compassion. Mom is survived by her four children and their families. She is also survived by her brother Ken (Nicholas) and was predeceased by two brothers and four sisters. Funeral services will be held at the Chatfield Community Hall on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Peter Chorney officiating. Interment to follow at the Chatfield Community Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Mom's name. Rest in Peace, Vichnaya Pam'yat. 204-886-0404
