In loving memory ~
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved Wife, Mother, Baba, and Babka Connie occurred on May 13th 2022 at West Coast General Hospital.
Connie was born on September 29, 1939 in Pine River, Manitoba. She moved to Port Alberni after she married Colin, her husband of 64 years. It was here where they raised their three children. After the children grew up, she went to work as a care-aide at Alberni Lodge until her retirement.
Connie loved her family dearly and kept in close contact with many family members and friends across the prairies. She loved her lunches out with friends, her Ukrainian music, dancing, camping, bowling, softball, curling, and hockey (She was an avid Bulldog fan). She was also an active member of her church.
Connie is survived by her husband Colin, children Colleen (Cliff), David (NaDean), and Bruce (Sandra), 9 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, 5 brothers (and their families), and many many cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends.
