The passing of Mrs. Violet Agnes (nee Pearson) Zawyrucha of Humboldt, SK, (and formerly of Viscount, SK), occurred at Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, on Thursday, August 6, 2015. She was 82 years of age. Violet was born to Charles and Henrietta (nee Blackburn) Pearson at Milestone, SK. She grew up on the family farm near Wynyard, SK, and attended school in Wynyard. When she was 16 years of age, the family moved to Hazel Dell, SK. On January 15, 1955, Violet married the love of her life, Sam Zawyrucha in Preeceville. Together, they raised a family of seven children. In 1957, the family moved to Madsen, ON, where Sam was employed as a station engineer at the gold mine. After ten years there, they returned to Saskatchewan and resided at Esterhazy for three years and then in 1969, relocated to Viscount. Gardening and preserving the fruits of their labor filled many enjoyable and gratifying hours for Violet and Sam. Violet had always been an avid sports fan also; in her younger years she loved playing ball and in more recent years enjoyed curling. In 2009, Violet and Sam made a final move to Eastside Village in Humboldt. On October 7, 2012, Sam passed away. Violet continued to reside at Eastside Village until the present.
