Obituary of Olga Semotiuk

SEMOTIUK, Olga April 10, 1927 – February 3, 2020 It is with great sadness that the family of Olga Semotiuk announces her passing at the Lamont Auxiliary Hospital and Nursing Home, at the age of 92. Olga will be missed and lovingly remembered by her children, Rt. Rev. Stephan (Diana), Robert (Jan), Brenda (Jim), and her son-in-law Terry Urichuk. She will also be fondly remembered by ten grandchildren and their families, Zenovia, Oksana, Orysia, Daria, Cody, Daina, Trisha, Samantha, Nicholas, and Kristina, and eight great grandchildren, Lukian, Oryanna, Markian, Anya, Elias, Keanna, Allison, and Nathan. Olga will also be remembered by her two sisters, Elsie Matviw and Mary Lesiuk, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Olga was predeceased by her husband Steve, daughter Judy, sister Lucille, and parents William and Anne Andony. Olga was born in Lamont, grew up on her parent’s farm near Mundare, and attended school at Stanislawow. In 1944, Olga married Steve Semotiuk at the Sich Kolomea Church and the couple continued farming in the Mundare area where they raised their family of four children. Olga kept an immaculate house, maintained a huge vegetable garden and beautiful flower gardens, and was an amazing cook. No one ever left her home hungry. She loved watching sports on TV, especially football and hockey. Due to declining health in the last number of years, it became challenging for her to continue doing the things she loved. She was a positive, forgiving person and will remain an inspiration to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
