SYLVIA TURKULA February 7, 1947 - November 7, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sylvia Turkula (nee Olearnek) on Tuesday, November 7, 2017.

She is also survived by her granddaughter Charity (Greg); grandson Chandler; sisters Judy Robb (Garwood) and Patty Windsor; sister-in-law Mary Rempel (George); and many other family members. Sylvia was predeceased by her parents, Peter (1999) and Helen (1974); brother Ernie (1976); and brother-in-law Brian Kalichak (1997). On February 7, 1947, Sylvia was the first born to Peter and Helen (Sklepowich) Olearnek. A brother and two sisters came later. Sylvia helped on the family farm while attending school in Gilbert Plains. After completing Grade 12 she moved to Dauphin to attend Little's Business College. She married Archie Turkula on May 2, 1967, and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last May. Sylvia and Archie have three sons; Robert (1967), Jason (1969) and Jeff (1972). The family moved to Winnipeg in 1972 and have resided there since. Sylvia worked for over 25 years with CIBC and then for over a decade with WRHA Home Care.

My late mother, Nellie from Sarina Towers, and I truly enjoyed Sylvia's friendly, caring ways and kind gestures. I had just commented to someone in the past week, as I often did, what a wonderful person my mother was fortunate enough to have as a caregiver only to find out about your family's loss. May our dear friend rest in peace. Iris Taraschuk - Posted by: iris (friend of my late mother and I) on: Nov 21, 2017
