GIANNOULIS - Darla. On Tuesday, November 28, 2017, Darla Doreen Giannoulis passed away at the age of 50 years after a battle with depression following the loss of her son, Elias, which left her heartbroken. Darla was born on April 9, 1967 in BC. Shortly after she was born, she was adopted by her father, Frank Biro and mother, Doreen Biro. Darla moved around lots when she was younger, living in Cache Creek, BC, Preeceville, SK, Vernon, BC, Red Deer, AB and Regina, SK, where she graduated from high school. Darla worked at Friday’s as well as Houston Pizza in Yorkton, SK and also owned her own business, Candy Bouquet. While living in Yorkton, Darla married Peter Giannoulis. Darla and Peter were blessed with three children. Her oldest son, Zachary, was born on February 28, 1991; her middle son, Alexandros, was born on January 28, 1993 and her youngest son, Elias, was born on December 5, 1994. Darla was the ultimate mother, never passing up the opportunity to cheer her children on in everything they did. Whether it was taking Zack to the skateboard park, driving Elias all over the province for hockey or just taking Alex down the street to the rink to referee a hockey game, she was always doing things for her children. She was an amazing mother who her children were all so proud of. Darla was a lifelong learner. She pursued a post-secondary education later on in her life, dedicating numerous hours both in the classroom and through correspondence to get herself a better education and better provide for her family. Her hard work paid off and she was rewarded with diplomas, certificates and scholarships, all of which she was very proud of. Darla was talented at everything she did. She loved cross stitching, making gift baskets, creating scrapbooks, cooking with her grandchildren, cheering Elias on during his numerous marathons and visiting with her friends and family. She worked for Parkland Sobeys in Yorkton for several years before being hired by SaskPower. She worked for SaskPower in Yorkton and then transferred to the Regina SaskPower office where she worked until the time of her passing. Darla and Greg met in September of 2014. They instantly hit it off. Darla was always the life of the party which definitely caught Greg’s attention. On Christmas Day of 2016, Greg asked Darla to marry him and Darla said yes! Darla was so excited, calling her family and friends to share the news and show off the ring that Greg had given her. Darla truly was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with Greg. Darla adored her grandchildren and they adored “Grandma Darla”. Darla loved spoiling them with gifts, having them over for sleepovers and cooking with them. Darla always talked about how much her grandchildren meant to her and how much she loved them and it was very evident when you saw her together with all of them. Darla loved travelling. When she was five years old, her Dad told her that he would take her to Disneyland. It wasn’t talked about again. That is, until her 7th birthday, when she walked into her Dad’s house and announced, “I’m seven now and we’re going to Disneyland”. Darla had never forgotten her Dad’s promise. Darla loved driving to Kelowna to visit her brother and her nephews. She and Greg also loved hitting the open road and cruising down to the United States on Greg’s Harley Davidson pulling a little trailer that doubled as their second home on wheels. Darla and Greg travelled to Whitefish, Montana, Missoula, Montana, the Black Hills, St. Victor, Cuba and Mexico, just to name a few. Darla and Greg had a vacation in Mexico booked for early December that Darla was looking forward to going on. Darla and Greg had recently gotten a dog who they fittingly named Harley as a tribute to Greg’s love for motorcycles. Darla loved Harley dearly, taking him for daily walks around the block and throwing his toys around the house with him. Darla and Greg sadly had to give up Harley for adoption as they were gone for work much of the time and didn’t feel that it was fair to Harley to have to spend days at home by himself. Darla always put other people before herself and this was just one example. Darla shed many tears giving Harley away but it brought her some happiness knowing that he was recently adopted again to a loving family where he could be loved as much as she and Greg loved him. Darla’s life was turned upside down on June 3, 2017 when her youngest son, Elias, took his own life. Darla knew that Elias had been struggling with depression and it caused her so much pain knowing that one of her children was in constant pain. Darla was such a loving mother and the pain of losing one of her children was too much for her to bear. Darla tried to get better, spending several weeks in the hospital on several occasions, but her heart was so broken from losing Elias that she did not believe that she could continue living without Elias. Darla was blessed with a new grandchild who was born on October 29, 2017. Alex and Brooke had a baby boy and named him Maverick Elias in memory of Elias. Knowing that Elias’ name would live through her grandson touched Darla deeply and it made her very proud. Darla and Greg travelled to Wilkie just a few days after Maverick was born so that she could meet her new grandchild. Darla’s eyes lit up when she first saw him and she immediately held onto him, gave him a big hug, smothered him with kisses and said to him, “Grandma loves you”. Darla was predeceased by her mother, Doreen Mattison; her father, Frank Biro; her son, Elias Giannoulis and her beloved Golden Retriever, Jake. She is survived by her son, Zachary; her son, Alexandros and his wife, Brooke; her fiancé, Greg Ulmer and his children Derrick (Krystal), Sheena (Dane) Hawkins and Randi Davis; her step-mother, Margaret Biro; her brother, Tracey Biro; her nephews, Michael, Steven, Jamie, Nathan and Caleb; her niece, Kalliopi; her grandchildren, Grace, Ella, Clara, Hayden, Beau, Nixon, Ryder, Chloe and Maverick and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, coworkers and friends. Darla’s family takes comfort knowing that she is together again with Elias, her mother and her father. A Visitation took place at the Chapel of Christie’s Funeral Home in Yorkton, SK on Sunday, December 3, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. A Funeral Service to celebrate Darla’s life took place from the Gallagher Centre on Monday, December 4, 2017 at 1:00 pm with Reverend Roland Legge officiating. Words of tribute and eulogy were shared by Darla’s son, Alexandros Giannoulis. Special music was shared by Jackie Guy who performed the songs, “Go Rest High On That Mountain”, “If I Die Young” and “See You Again”. The Interment Service took place at the Yorkton City Cemetery. The Honourary pall bearers were Darla’s Grandchildren; Ryder, Chloe, Maverick, Grace, Ella, Clara, Hayden, Beau and Nixon. The Active pall bearers were Alexandros Giannoulis, Zachary Giannoulis, Tracey Biro, Nathan Biro, Caleb Biro and Ron Risling. Friends so wishing may make donations in Darla’s memory to the Canadian Mental Health Association as token of remembrance.

NINIOWSKI - Sylvia Niniowski (nee Wyllychuk) of Roblin died peacefully on November 27, 2017. She was 96 years old. Sylvia was born on December 2, 1920 in the Calder district of Saskatchewan to Samuel and Eftima (Goyuk) Wyllychuk. Sylvia grew up on the family farm with four older siblings during the era of the roaring twenties and the hungry thirties. Sylvia received her elementary education in a country school, taking grades nine and ten by correspondence, then completing grades eleven and twelve in Towns of Calder and Togo respectively. Due to economic hardships, it wasn’t until 1941 that Sylvia was able to attend Normal School in Regina where she graduated as a teacher. After obtaining her teaching certificate she taught in several country schools with attendance exceeding thirty pupils and grades one to ten in a single classroom. On January 4 of 1946 Sylvia was united in marriage to Metro Niniowski. They were blessed with three children, daughters Deborah and Rachel and son Gerald. When Debby reached school age Sylvia returned to teaching in the classroom until she retired in 1980. In addition to her teaching career Sylvia enjoyed gardening, baking, sewing, quilting and especially knitting. Harvesting and preserving wild berries became a family tradition. In addition, she found time and energy to help others. Sylvia was associated with the Calder Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses since she was two years old. Since her dedication by baptism in 1939 Sylvia was an active member of the Calder and Roblin Congregations. Sylvia was predeceased by her husband Metro in 2003, her father Samuel in 1943, her mother Eftima in 1974, her brother William in 1968, her brother Daniel in 1997, her sister Dora in 1997, her brother Matthew in 1998 and sister Domcia in infancy. Sylvia leaves to cherish her memory, her children Deborah (Malcolm) Tessmer of Weekes; Rachel (Russell) Maximiuk of Prince Albert and Gerald (Phyllis) Ninowski of Regina. She also leaves to recall her memory, her grandchildren Natasha Syme (Rick Fortier) of Barrie, ON; Jessica Tessmer of Saskatoon, SK; Dr. Jerilyn Ninowski (David Weber) of Calgary, AB; Jenna (Michael) Peters of Regina, SK; Desirée (Jonathan) Bowes of Toronto, ON; Sara Maximiuk of Saskatoon, SK and greatgrandchildren Ivan White, Alexei and Maryse Fortier, Kaden and Rylee Weber, Zoe and Grady Peters, Matthew and Katherine Bowes. Her cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends will also miss her. The Funeral Service was held on Monday, December 4, 2017 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with John Anderson of the Roblin Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses officiating. The interment followed in the Garden of Devotion at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Russell Maximiuk, Malcolm Tessmer, Terry Wyllychuk, Michael Shore, Raymond Lacusta and Gerald Bayn serving as the casket bearers.

KIRKHAM - Julie Ann Kirkham. November 21, 1952 - November 24, 2017. Julie Kirkham was a dear friend to many, known for her fearlessly independent spirit, her warmth and her smile, as well as her blunt honesty, sense of humour and distinctive laugh. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and daughter. She loved gardening, was a talented seamstress, a successful business owner and a fantastic cook. The wife of a farmer, but never ‘the farmer’s wife’, Julie smiled through adversity, never once complaining of her fibromyalgia, a condition that caused her much pain for 25 years. Described by her husband of 40 years, Jeff Kirkham, as “the catalyst of my life”, Julie Kirkham passed away Nov. 24, just two-and-a-half months after being diagnosed with cancer. The couple met in the Golden Ears pub in Port Coquitlam in 1973 where Julie was working as a server and Jeff had stopped in for an after-work beer. Julie said to her colleague ‘I’ll take your section because I want that guy right there’. She got ‘that guy’ and the couple married in the August of 1977. Born in Langley, BC in 1952 to Verna (nee Cornock) and Lute Edall, Julie was the middle daughter of the couple’s three girls, Irene Campbell and Carolynne Vickery. Known even as a young child for her adventurous and fun-loving nature, when dad gave the girls $1 each to spend at the summer fair specifying that he wanted change, Julie returned with just one penny. She wasn’t going to pass up such an opportunity not to have the most fun she could. Julie was an independent woman growing up in an era of convention. Craving her independence and to move out of the family home, she married John White in 1970 when she was just 17-years-old - skipping her high school graduation for her wedding ceremony. The couple had Tamara (Tami) in 1973 and separated that year, but remained lifelong friends. Jeff, Julie and Tami headed to Saltcoats, SK in 1980, joining the Kirkham family farm. By 1985 the couple had five children, Tami, Michelle, Corey, Jessica and Bradley. A west coast BC girl, Julie found herself in the prairies, raising five kids and working all hours of the day providing for the ones she loved. From cooking unfathomable amounts of meals for the farm’s hired men, to growing enough vegetables to feed the family, making bread and driving children to endless activities, Julie did what had to be done without a word of complaint. If the hours spent doing farm work wasn’t enough, Julie started her own craft store, worked in a group home and was an active part of the community volunteering many hours. With an overwhelming amount of love to give, Julie’s frank and honest voice wasn’t always what the kids wanted to hear, but as Bradley says “she would tell you how it was, when you needed to hear it that way”. In 2004 Julie’s life took another direction when her and Jeff bought the Falkland Pub - following advice from a fortune cookie. The small BC community threw its arms around Julie, wooed by her friendly open character, blunt honesty and unforgettable laugh. After 45 years of hard work, Jeff and Julie were lucky enough to spend the last few winters in the warm sunshine of La Penita, Mexico, a place she truly loved. Julie will be remembered in many ways to many people, but her daughter, Jessie, remembers her as a beautiful woman, standing on the beach in Mexico, wearing a flowing dress and flip-flops, drinking a glass of wine and talking about how lucky she was to have everything she did. Julie is survived by a large extended family that includes: her husband Jeff, her five children, 10 grandchildren, sisters Irene and Carolynne and her mother Verna. In lieu of flowers those wishing to make a memorial donation can do so to the North Okanagan Hospice Society. www.nohs.ca. A Celebration of Julie’s Life will take place at The Falkland Community Hall at 1:00 pm on December 2, 2017.
