HELEN WEPRUK
December 18, 1925 - September 4, 2019

With heavy hearts we announce our mother's passing on the evening of Wednesday, September 4, 2019. For ourselves alone, we grieve because Mom is at last free of the pain that encompassed her final year on Earth.
The last surviving sibling, Mom was predeceased by Dora, Frances, Lawrence, Cynthia, John, Mary, Peter and Sophie.
She leaves behind to mourn, her children: Pat (Marc), Jim (Denise) and Jackie (Rick); her grandchildren: Tamara Wiebe and Corey (Sonja) Wepruk, Laurier and Patrick (Natasha) Chabot; and her great-grandchildren: Micayla, Shayda, Jadyn, Ryleigh Wiebe. Her brothers- and sisters-in-law: Paul (Alice), Bill (Dorothy) and Stan (Elma) Wepruk; and the many nieces, nephews and cousins will miss her, especially sister Frances's children to whom she was much attached: Mary, Johnny, William (Heidi), Gary (Paulette) and Vickie (David).
We wish to thank Dr. Karen Toews and Dr. Olha Ulanovych as well as the nurses at Vita District & Health Centre who cared for Mom. Special thanks to Mom's friends, the best friends that anyone can hope to have: Evelyn Schellenberg (and her family), Bill and Marie Klassen.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the St. Elias Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Sirko, MB followed by a meal at the Sirko Hall.
According to Mom's wishes, her ashes will be buried next to her parents' graves.
In lieu of flowers, please give a donation to your favourite charity.
