Another angel is up in heaven. Nettie, our Mother, Baba, Babcha, In-law, Cousin, and Friend, passed away peacefully just two weeks shy of her 94th birthday.
Her loving family will deeply miss her. Her cherished children, Patti (John), Debbie, Don (Jan); her adorable grandchildren that she was so proud of, Terra, Kaela (Sam), Scott, Nigel (Maria), Alexander (Sian), Kiidra, Jori, Kyrissa (Brent), and Cole; and her precious great-grandchildren, Aurora, Henry, Luca, Elijah, Holly, Anastasia, Patrick, and Elliot.
Nettie began her life in a humble house in Ituna, Saskatchewan. She married her husband, Leslie Kolisnyk (Predeceased in 2009) and had three children in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She retired in Whytewold, Manitoba and moved to Calgary, Alberta, to be closer to her grandchildren. In the last couple of years, she resided in Cochrane, Alberta and made many trips to New Zealand.
Nettie's greatest joy and happiness was her family. She had an unconditional and selfless love in everything she did. For most of her life, she had a big garden which gave us endless delicious meals and canned goods that lasted well into the next season. Her house was always filled with the magnificent aromas of freshly baked food. She loved to sew. She was our family's Perogy Queen, making the most delicate perogies and teaching us to continue this family tradition.
Throughout Nettie's life, she gave of herself in many volunteering jobs, from being a Brownies and Girl Guides leader to driving around the Interlake Region of Manitoba, delivering meals on wheels and visiting seniors.
Her unwavering dedication, belief in the Ukrainian Catholic faith, and love for her immediate family and numerous family members, no matter how distant, gave her great purpose and enjoyment.
We can only hope to continue her legacy and live as she did with kind words, thoughtful gestures and a smile for everyone she met.
Memorial Service will be held on October 27, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Glen Eden Funeral Home, 4477 Main St., West St. Paul, MB.

Our condolences go out to Don, Jan and family. By the sounds of Nettie's tribute, she was an amazing mom, grandma and, indeed, person. This is not surprising given how her son, Don, and his family were. It's always hard to say goodbye to a loved one, and especially so for someone, like Nettie, who made a difference in so many people's lives. God bless! - Posted by: Bill & Careyn Head (Friends) on: Oct 14, 2023
