ELAINE MARIE CHADNEY
(née MIECHKOTA)
Elaine was born November 2, 1945, in Lethbridge, Alberta to Viola Doreen (née Linklater) and Peter John Miechkota. After the death of Elaine's father, Peter, on December 7, 1949, Doreen and the children moved to Manitoba. Elaine has lived in Manitoba ever since. Elaine was an avid genealogist, and although she was very secretive about her age, it was important to her to leave a record for any future genealogists and thus she allowed her age to be disclosed herein.
Elaine was predeceased by her grandparents, Anastasia (nee Mokoski/ Makowska) (June, 1945) and Wasyl Miechkota (1958) of Lethbridge, Alberta and formerly of Kobylowoloki, Ukraine, and Lina Yuille (nee Slater) (June 19, 1981) and Frank Linklater (July 30, 1967) of Grand Marais, Manitoba, and her parents, Peter John Miechkota (December 7, 1949) and Viola Doreen Labey (nee Linklater) (June 17, 2002).
Elaine is survived by husband Donald Chadney, and her three children, Rhonda Johnson (Campbell River, BC), Kim Hilderman (Calgary, AB) and Faren (Joanne) Chadney (Ste. Anne, MB); by her eight grandchildren, Clayton (Laura), Jonas and Tyler Steinthorson, Derek Johnson, James and Jennica Hilderman, and Tylo and Brayden Chadney; and by her three great-grandchildren, Alexis, Payton and Emilie Steinthorson. Elaine is also survived by her three stepchildren, Dawna Chadney (Winnipeg, MB), Catherine (Brian) McEwan (Tyndall, MB), and Maura Stanhope (Winnipeg, MB); and six stepgrandchildren: Ridge and Brittany McEwen, Ashley, Cassandra, Ethan and Thomas Bieniarz. Also surviving are Elaine's brother Stephen Miechkota (Winnipeg) and sister Cheryl Shirtliffe (Grand Marais) and four nieces: Shawn Bobrowski (nee Shirtliffe), Hayley Shirtliffe, Tracey Shirtliffe and Robyn Rasmussen (nee Miechkota) and their families.

We are saddened to hear the passing of Elaine. She loved her family and keep close touch with relatives in Winnipeg during birthdays and special celebrations. She was kind and thoughtful to all. Elaine was an avid genealogist and spoke often of her intention to connect with family members in Canada and across the ocean. Our family will miss her. - Posted by: Ron Miechkota (relative through father's side of family) on: Jan 18, 2020

I was very saddened to hear about Elaine's passing recently. My sincere condolences to Don and family. I had the pleasure of meeting Elaine on a week long trip together with our daughters, Kim and Lisa several years ago....a great memory for me. Elaine and I continued to meet for lunch regularly after this and we had a wonderful connection. Her passing is a great loss. Leona - Posted by: Leona Tetrault (Friend) on: Nov 04, 2019

Also a genealogist, Elaine and I opened the genealogy library one Wednesday night a month for 10 years. We just didn't do research or help people find their ancestors, we met beforehand to have dinner. Our favourite sushi restaurant was close to the library. We would have dinner, get caught up on each others happenings over the last month and then open the library. Sometimes Elaine's husband Don would join us for dinner. We would meet up to try different restaurants during the month as well. I will dearly miss our special evenings. It will not be the same without you, Elaine. The first Joan Whiston award was awarded to Elaine and presented to her by Joan's son Iain Whiston. I took pictures of that event on my phone which I will share. At the library's annual Christmas luncheon, Elaine was giving helpful information to other genealogists. She was that good at what she did. God keep you Elaine, hopefully you will keep watch over me at the library and help me as always with research. Judith - Posted by: Judith Roe (friend) on: May 18, 2019
