Peacefully, on Sunday, May 31, 2015, at Bethany Pioneer Village in Middle Lake, SK, Mary (nee Senko) Syroteuk beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, laid down to rest one last time.

They were blessed with three children, two girls and a boy: Valerie on December 24, 1956, Cyril on May 19, 1958 and Donna on February 28, 1963. Her faith in God permeated her whole life, and was a huge inspiration to her children and grandchildren. Because of a stroke on May 8, 2005, Mary moved into St. Mary’s Villa. She resided there until October 15, 2015 when both she and Joe moved to Bethany Pioneer Village in Middle Lake. After 10 years, they were fortunate enough to live under the same roof again!
