1917 ~ FAY FEDORUK ~ 2021

Fay Fedoruk of Medicine Hat passed away on Friday, August 6, 2021 at the age of 103 years, beloved wife of the late Alex Fedoruk. She leaves to cherish her memory three children, Bill Fedoruk, Boris ‘Bob’ (Shirley) Fedoruk and John (Carol) Fedoruk; three grandchildren, Robert (Karen) Fedoruk, David (Catherine) Fedoruk and Sarah (Jeremy) Hawes; six great grandchildren, Alex, Bridgett, Benjamin, Kaleb, William and Bryleigh as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Wasyl and Fannie Barowski; her husband, Alex in 1964; one brother Max in infancy; four sisters, Vera in infancy, Polly (Jim) Fedorick, Ruth (Bill) Relkoff and Mary (George) Popoff.
Fay was the last daughter born on her parents’ homestead farm near Buchanan, Saskatchewan. As a pioneer family, Fay grew up working hard alongside her sisters and parents. Her chores were typical of a family farm and included a daily two mile walk to and from their second farm property to fetch their milking cows. This demanding life style instilled in Fay the hard work ethic she maintained throughout her entire life, and which she also instilled into her children.
Fay left the farm as a young adult and moved to Winnipeg. She remembered the day World War II ended and recalled everyone dancing in the streets. She also remembered the 1950 Winnipeg flood that prompted her to return to her parents’ farm until the flood subsided. A few years later in Winnipeg, she met and married Alex. They established their lives together and had three boys: Bill, Boris and John. Fay loved her family, dedicating herself to them and always putting their needs ahead of hers. Sadly, Alex passed away suddenly in 1964 leaving Fay with three young boys. She worked tirelessly, sacrificing her comforts to provide for their needs. The boys eventually left Winnipeg to pursue their education and employment leaving Fay on her own for a while. Fay eventually moved to Medicine Hat in 1998 where John had settled with his family. She enjoyed spending time with her family and watching her grandchildren, and later her great grandchildren, grow up.
The Christian faith that Fay initially learned as a young girl from her parents continued and grew throughout her life. It sustained her as a widow while raising her family and then into “the empty nest.” Her faith in Jesus Christ was both her strength and hope throughout her entire life and into her final days.
For over a century Fay’s life and legacy has been an enduring faith in God, and a love for her family. To her family, and the many friends who knew her, she was a kind, gentle and faithful person. May she rest in peace and rise in glory. Those who wish to pay their respects may do so at the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME on Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:25 p.m. The funeral service will be held in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Friday, August 13, 2021 at 12:30 p.m. with The Rev. Dr. Oz Lorentzen officiating. A private family interment will follow in the Hillside Cemetery.

1941 ~ SHIRLEY BONOGOFSKY ~ 2021

Shirley Bonogofsky of Medicine Hat passed away on Saturday, August 7th, 2021 at the age of 80 years. Shirley leaves to cherish her memory her daughters, Karen (Larry) Egan, Tracy (Ron) Perry, Natalie Doll; son, Jason (Darcy) Bonogofsky; grandchildren, Christopher Egan, Micheal Egan (Lucy Pete), John Egan, Colton Egan, Corey (Ashlee) Perry, Kristin Perry, Lance Doll (Daytona Nieman), Brody Bonogofsky, Hannah Bonogofsky (Kellan Riley); great-grandson, Knox Perry; sister-in-law, Marie Siewert, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Shirley was predeceased by her husband, Isidore Bonogofsky; parents, Fred and Tillie Siewert; brother, Lawrence Siewert; sister, Agnes (Al) West. Mom was the needle that sewed us all together. While she was able to, she insisted on cooking Sunday supper every weekend. There were never too many people, or too much trouble. She loved her family and her grandchildren. She catered to her grandchildren to the point of making them whatever they wanted when they would phone her and tell her they were coming for lunch (because Grandma’s was the best!). If they stayed over, she would make whatever snacks they wanted. Mom never complained about anything, regardless of how sore she might be feeling, or how tired she may be. She would keep on smiling and having you think everything’s okay. As dad had always taken such good care of her, mom got used to telling us what to do for her. She was well known for her fried chicken and potato salad, which everyone loved. She also had her own unique way of complimenting people. She told one of her daughters once that her hair color was the same as this dog she knew – keep in mind though mom loved this dog’s coat coloring, so this was her finest compliment she could give. She was a wonderful lady with a big heart who would do anything to help you. Go and rest now with dad. We will have a beer in your honour, Cheers! We will miss you. We love you. Special thanks to Masterpiece and the Home Care staff as well as Ken and Gloria Schmaltz for all the good care given to mom.
