Obituary of Olyne Patryluk
Olyne Patryluk (nee: Owadiuk), of Selo Gardens, long time resident of Regina, SK, passed away peacefully at the age of 89 years, at the General Hospital on Saturday March 23, 2019, surrounded by the love of her family, friends, and the community she served. She was predeceased by her husband Alex, who was the love of her life. Olyne is survived by her loving family, sons, Tery (Heather) and Bob of Regina, SK; daughter Marianne (Earl) Mosewich, of Colesdale Park, SK; seven grandchildren, Amber Mosewich, Edmonton, AB, Sienna (James) Huck, Regina, SK, Preston (Kirbie) Mosewich, Martensville, SK, Christie (Matt) Harris, Regina, SK, Shawna (Rav) Lal, Brisbane, Australia, Bryce Patryluk, Regina, SK and Troy Patryluk of Saskatoon, SK; and seven great-grandchildren, Carson and Pierce Huck, Wyatt Mosewich, Logan and Allison Harris, and Jaiden and Ashton Lal.
Olyne’s love and energy drove her to serve in many capacities on numerous Ukrainian clubs and committees. Though she would be too humble to admit it, her contributions to culture and community leave us with a legacy that are a genuine product of her hard work and generous nature.
One of her greatest joys was sharing her love of tradition with her family. A bustling house with music, laughter, and ample food and drink brought family and friends together from far and wide. Through the years, the family grew – much to Olyne’s delight - and our beloved “Baba” was a constant symbol of compassion, comfort, gratitude, and support. Her pride in her family was evident in the stories she shared with her friends and the way she beamed with delight during each and every visit. Prayers will be held at the Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 1305 12th Avenue, Regina, SK, on Thursday March 28, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Service will be held at the Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Orthodox Church on Friday March 29, 2019 at 10:00 a.m., with Rev. Fr. Volodymyr Feskiw presiding. Interment will follow at Riverside Memorial Park.
