Patricia Humeniuk (nee Borkowski)
1925 ~ 2023
It is with very saddened hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Humeniuk on Wednesday July 05, 2023 at the age of 98, with her family by her side.
Patricia was predeceased by her loving husband, Waldy, their son, Ivan (Carolyn) Humeniuk and their daughter, Jo-Ann (Mike) Gogal. Left to survive Patricia are her daughter, Rosemarie (Garry) Haggerty, her three grandchildren, Patrick (Tanis) Haggerty, Jodi (Andrew) Terhoch and Landon (Lucia) Gogal. Patricia also leaves behind four great grandchildren: Teagan, Kiera, Sienna and Easton.
Patricia was born in Poland in 1925 and was the eldest of three girls. Her family immigrated to the Ethelbert area when she was 10 years old. She met Waldy while he was teaching school in the Dauphin area and they were married in 1945. In the early years as a family they moved to several communities throughout Manitoba for Waldy’s teaching career. During this period, Patricia’s focus was on raising their three children. In 1965, the family moved to Swan River where they spent the next 20 years. Patricia was able to finally settle down and become part of the community. While her children and the church remained her focus, it was here that she began a career in retail. When Waldy retired in 1985, they moved to Morden to be closer to family, especially the grandchildren. They enjoyed several winters at their second home in Texas. They became active members of the St. John Roman Catholic Church in Morden where they attended mass daily. Patricia initiated the idea of making perogies to raise money to help pay for a new church, a fundraising effort that the parishioners still continue. The two most important things in Patricia’s life always remained God and family. She was a much talked about cook and baker (especially her apple pies, donuts and perogies) and she had the best garden in the neighbourhood. She maintained a warm and welcoming home with her kitchen as the gathering place for family and friends. She took pride in cooking the traditional Ukrainian Christmas and Easter dishes with recipes she taught to her family. Her beautiful sweaters, afghans and slippers will always keep her loved ones warm. Patricia was a very thoughtful and caring person. She will be sadly missed and thought of fondly by all those who knew her. The family thanks Patricia’s special angels at Tabor Home—Joy, Halyna, May and Lea. Also a thank you to her faithful friends Alice and Judy.
