Obituary of Annie Romaniuk
ROMANIUK - Annie Romaniuk of Yorkton, formerly of the Gorlitz - Hamton district, beloved wife of John J. Romaniuk entered eternal life on October 10, 2022 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre.
Annie was born January 1, 1924 to George and Mary (nee Hywarren) Bordun. She was raised in the Gorlitz District and attended Annik School.
In addition to helping on the family farm, Annie would find employment as hired help at neighbouring farms. Going to a country dance or a house party was a welcome reprieve for her generation.
In 1946, Annie was united in marriage to John J. Romaniuk of the Hamton District. There, they made their home for 42 years. Anne was an active member of the Donwell West Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church and the Hamton Community Hall. Her favourite pastimes were her flower beds and her crocheting. She enjoyed reading various Ukrainian newspapers, the Western Producer and especially the Canora Courier.
In 1989, Annie left her farm home and moved into Yorkton. She lived independently in her house on Gladstone Ave. and later at Queen Elizabeth Court. Declining health brought her to live at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. At all three locations, Annie continued to chart new experiences and make new friends.
She is predeceased by her loving husband John; parents George and Mary Bordun; baby brother Dmetro; sisters Bessie German, Lena Lischynski; daughter-in-law Susan Romaniuk; brothers-in-law Harry German, Bill Lischynski, Glen Wiwchar; nephew Brent Lischynski; niece Marlene Korol.
Annie leaves to cherish her memory: children Sharon (Steve) Sobkow of Calder, Lawrence Romaniuk of Kelowna; grandchildren Ivan (Regina) Sobkow of Calder, Andrea Sobkow of Calgary; great-grandsons Nicholas and Vincent Sobkow of Calder; sister Vicky Wiwchar of Canora; along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
Prayers were held on Thursday, October 13, 2022 and the Funeral Service on Friday, October 14, 2022 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Father Michael Faryna officiating. The responses were led by Zennovia Duch. A Panyhyda Service followed in Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Donwell West with the interment in the Parish Cemetery.
The cross bearer was Andrea Sobkow and the banner bearers were Regina Sobkow and Angie Drobot. Serving as casket bearers were Ivan Sobkow, Darcy Korol, Nicholas Sobkow, David Wiwchar, Vincent Sobkow and Larry Kobelka.
