Obituary of Stephanie Shuchuk
Shuchuk, Stephanie
Stephanie Shuchuk, 90, of Edmonton, Alberta passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on December 1, 2017.
Stephanie was the daughter of Demetro and Kate (Sycz) Borys, and loving wife of the late Alexander Shuchuk. She is survived by three children: Gary (Michelle), Stephen (Virginia) and Thomas (Claudette). She is also survived by her sister Elizabeth and ten grandchildren, Paul, Brian (Erica), Sarah (Brent), Amy, Brett, Danielle, Jenna, Alex, Mikaila and Katarina, as well as two great-grandchildren, Angel and Jakobe. She was predeceased by husband Alexander Shuchuk and siblings John, Sophie, Anne, Lawrence, Val, Martha and Terry.
She was a farm girl at heart, growing up weeding grainfields with her family while attending Halicz School. She brought that same sense of stewardship and care to her work for the City of Edmonton at the Victoria Golf Course, and to her volunteer work at St. Barbara Cathedral and Dovercourt Community League.
Stephanie loved baking, gardening, singing and listening to music. She will always be remembered by all who met her for her warmth and hospitality. Cooking for others and having a good conversation over dinner were two of her favourite things. A supportive mother, wife and friend, she always made time to lend a helping hand and comfort to anyone who needed her. She lived life to the fullest doing what she did best: caring for and entertaining her loved ones. Her generous, beautiful and positive energy touched us all.
She will be dearly remembered for her strength and love of family. The funeral service will be held at 10:00 AM on Monday, December 11, 2017 at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Barbara, 10105 96 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta with Very Reverend Igor Kisil officiating. Interment to follow in the St. Barbara’s Russian Orthodox Cemetery – Nisku.
