NELLIE YAKIMOW
(nee PETRUSH)
With her family by her side, Nellie passed
away peacefully on Monday, December 17, 2012 at East-Gate Lodge Personal Care
Home in Beausejour, MB at the age of 98 years. Mom accepted the invitation from
the Lord to attend the celebration of Jesus’ birth in heaven together with
family and friends.
Nellie will be lovingly remembered by her
children, Ernie (Olive), Gordon (Sylvia), Annette (Don), and Rosemarie (Barry);
grandchildren Odette (Erik), Shea (Sara), Angie (Lee), Jason, and Erin
(Marcel); great grandchildren Omar and Zoe; sisters Elsie Zdrill and Margaret
(Willy) Balagus along with many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, John;
parents, John and Annie Petrush; brothers Bill, Stanley and Steve; sisters
Mary, Teenie and Helen.
Mom lived a wonderful and full life. She and
dad farmed in Allegra, MB and in 1973 they retired in the Town of
Beausejour. Mom loved flower gardening,
especially perennials, and always had a rich and colorful garden around the
house. She was also well known for her
baking – family and friends could drop in for a visit at any time to a variety
of homemade goodies such as pies, donuts, butterflies, rice pudding paskas and
perogies. Nellie also loved listening to
Ukrainian music and singing Ukrainian Christmas Carols with brother in-law
Willy Balagus and Peter Klym every Christmas. Her biggest passion was her
family – dinners together meant the world to her and Nellie loved hosting
everyone at her home.
This morning, Friday, December 21, 2012 a
Celebration of Nellie’s Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. in the Brokenhead
Recreational Complex, 320 Veterans Lane (off James Avenue) in Beausejour, MB.
For those who wish, viewing will begin at 9:30 a.m. Interment will follow in the
Brokenhead Cemetery (Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery).
The family would like to express a heartfelt
thank you to the staff at East-Gate Lodge Personal Care Home for the wonderful
care provided to mom over the last four years. She enjoyed her time with all
the staff and the numerous activities and recreational outings. The family would also like to thank their
friends and relatives for their continued support and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to
East-Gate Lodge Personal Care Home in Beausejour, MB or to the Perpetual Care
of the Brokenhead Cemetery.
