JEAN BARNSON
JEAN BARNSON March 10, 1915 - August 11, 2004 Quietly while tending her flower garden, Jean, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother slipped away to join her life partner, Kully. Born, raised and educated in Winnipeg, Jean met her husband Carl while working in her father's restaurant (Stan's Cafe) on Eveline Street in Selkirk. Jean and Carl were married on February 19, 1936 and worked closely together for the next 62 years. They started out in the carpentry business, then owned and operated Carl's Grocery on Main Street, Selkirk for 18 years and then built and renovated houses until their retirement in 1980. They knew and worked with many of the Selkirk residents in those years. Having a green thumb, house plants and gardens flourished under Jean's nurturing care. She enjoyed tending her multi-coloured flower beds, raspberries, strawberries, apple and plum trees until this year when failing health and poor eyesight prevented her from doing so. Her family was the central core by which her life revolved. Generous with her time and advice, she was sought out for her business sense and sage wisdom. She looked forward to her weekly phone calls from her daughter-in-law (Vickie), grandchildren, and daily call from friend Leona. She eagerly anticipated summer visits from out of town family. Visiting relatives were often treated to hands on experience in plumbing, electrical work, shimming doors, roof tarring or lawn mower repair. No one left without attaining at least one of these skills. When she could no longer participate in these activities, she could accurately instruct others to do so. Quilting hand carded woolen quilts and knitting sweaters for her family was Jean's winter project. Timmy, her canary, kept her company between visits from family. Mentally alert and physically active, Jean preferred to shovel snow in winter and mow her own lawn to keep fit (seldom heeding her doctors advice to "slow down"). Despite her failing eyesight Jean remained in her own home as her own independent spirit dictated. Accepting assistance from Home Care since June, Jean was particularly fond of Bertha and Karen for their kindness. Predeceased by her husband Carl (Kully) in 1998; daughter Vi in 1999; grandson Benzie 2003; sister Minnie; and brothers, Stan, Nick, Danny and Johnny. Jean leaves to mourn her sons, Bob (Vickie) and Art (Donna) and son-in-law Walt Cook; grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Barney Barnson (Carol) Clay, Cody, Clint; Valdeen Short (Gene) Reese; Jim Barnson (Marjke) Erika; Cindy Barnson Craig, Lee, Bailey; Carl Barnson (Christine) Scott, Daniel; Bill Cook; Tracey Cook; Tammy Topp (Brian) Paul, Ashley; Christine Cantor (David) Joash, Avniel, Shoshana; Brent Barnson. Nieces and nephews: Ralph Larson, Gordon Barnson (Lorraine), Betty Hart (Colin) Joyce Fore, Wayne Martin (Dianne) and many great-nieces and great-nephews. Cremation as per Jean's wishes has taken place. A Memorial Service to celebrate Jean's life will be held on Tuesday, August 17 at 10:30 a.m. in the Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk, MB. Interment to follow in the Lutheran Cemetery. She will be sadly missed. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements.

TONY BOYCHUK
TONY BOYCHUK In the early morning of August 11, 2004 at the age of 91, Tony Boychuk passed away at the Seven Oaks Hospital. Tony was pre-deceased by his first wife Mary (1971) and second wife Millie (1987) as well as his brothers Archie, Dmytro, Peter and brother-in-law John. Left to cherish his memory are his four children, Walter (Alice), Elsie Henderson (Elmer), John (Gloria), Nancy Grodzik (Bob); 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. He also leaves to mourn his sister Olga Stefaniuk; his sister-in-law Lily Boychuk; numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Tony was born
in Siniow, Poland and immigrated to Canada in 1929 at the age of 15. His family settled in the Glenella area along with other Ukrainian families. Tony often shared stories of "riding the rails" during the "dirty" thirties looking for work so he could help the family financially. In 1934, Tony married Mary Kuzyk from Glenella. They spent two years operating a general store in Lewvan, SK before returning to Glenella in 1947 where they farmed and raised their family. In 1959 they moved to Winnipeg where Tony was employed by the City of Winnipeg until his retirement in 1978. Tony and Mary were very active with the AUUC and spent many years singing in choirs and helping with banquets at the Ukrainian Labour Temple. After his first wife Mary passed away at an early age, he was fortunate to meet Millie whom he married in 1976. They shared many happy times together and were even able to do some travelling with Millie's children in Eastern Canada. Tony's general good health allowed him to live independently in his home on Manitoba Avenue and then in an apartment on Sinclair Street. This past December he moved into the independent living area of Fred Douglas Lodge. Tony made very many friendships and had many wonderful memories. He loved going out for breakfasts and he loved his family. He considered himself the "luckiest man in the world" whenever the family got together to celebrate an event. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Fred Douglas Lodge for their care and support. Cremation has taken place. At Tony's request there will be no formal funeral service. A private family function will be held at a later date. Cropo Funeral Chapel 586-8044
