BREZINSKI - Betty Leona Brezinski of Yorkton, formerly of Invermay, passed away peacefully at her home in Aspen Bluff Villa, Yorkton on Sunday, January 1, 2017. She was 83 years of age. Betty was born on November 16, 1933 on the family farm in the Buchanan District, the daughter of Joseph and Anna (Wolkowski) Soloski. Her siblings were Rudy, Joyce, Al and Bronoslaw, who died in infancy. She completed grade 9 at Buchanan School and at the age of 16 ventured to Winnipeg to work as a receptionist at St. Joseph’s Hospital. About a year later she returned home and became a teller at the Royal Bank in Invermay. In May 1952 Betty met the love of her life, Marion, at a Feast Day celebration at St. Andrew’s Church, north of Invermay. In October of that same year Betty became Marion’s wife at St. Ann’s R.C. Church, Buchanan. After working for a short time in Westburn, MB, Marion and Betty returned to tend to Marion’s family farm, 10 miles NE of Invermay and care for his younger siblings; Tony, Louis and Adele. They farmed the homestead for the next ten years while Betty became the mother of her first three children, Cecilia, David and Gerald. In September 1961 the young family moved to the house they built with their own hands, 3 miles south of the homestead. It was here that the next three children; Lydia, Monica and James were added to the family. At the side of her husband, Betty developed a farmyard and four quarters of land. With her husband she gardened, worked the dairy, hauled the grain, slopped the pigs, picked the eggs, butchered the chickens, drove the school bus and raised their reason for living - their 6 children. Betty often spoke about how “we never worked on Sunday, but the work was always done” and Betty always made sure there was time for their cherished neighbours, friends and family. On top of all this Betty still found time to sew, crochet and home-cooked meals were her specialty. After the children left home Betty was the librarian and then a receptionist at the doctors office in Invermay. 1992 was the year of the farm auction sale though the newly retired couple lived at their farmyard for 2 more years. In 1994 they bought a house in Yorkton and the move was made to the city. As Marion’s health was failing, Betty reached out for help and moved to Calgary to be near her son, David, brother Al, sister Joyce and their families. August 1998 brought Betty and Marion back to Yorkton to a manageable apartment. In Betty’s words “….things changed. Another leaf got turned over…” - on September 24, 1999, the love of her life was admitted to the Yorkton Regional Nursing Home. With Marion taken care of, Betty found pleasure in cooking for the Redemptorist priests of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Church in Yorkton. For 8 years Betty never missed a day of visiting her husband and she was at his side when he passed away. If ever she needed to be away, she made sure someone took her place. Occasions that took Betty away from the farm with Marion or later from Marion’s side included family functions like Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, graduations, Ukrainian Dancing or sporting events and weddings of her 22 grandchildren and 18 greatgrandchildren and the funeral of her grandson, Michael. Betty and Marion also made numerous pilgrimages together and recently Betty humbly bragged about never missing the pilgrimage in Rama. Betty was very happy to say she travelled from the east coast to the west coast of Canada - the Rocky Mountains being her favourite. She has boxes of memorabilia of trips she made to Lourdes, Florida, Hawaii, Ukraine, Winona, Spain and most treasured were the pilgrimages she made with her brother, Al, to the Holy Land and Rome where she prayed with all her heart for those dear to her. Fairview Arms Independent Living Condo became Betty’s new home in July 2002. She lived there and loved the lifestyle of freedom to come and go it gave her until rapidly declining health forced her to move to Aspen Bluff Villa Private Care Home on December 1, 2016. After receiving all the blessings that her beloved Church offered, it was from her new home that Betty passed away peacefully in her sleep on January 1, 2017. May she rest in peace. Prayers were held on Friday, January 6, 2017 preceded by the praying of the rosary led by Betty’s grandchildren from St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Very Rev. Father Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. officiating. Funeral Mass was celebrated according to the traditional Latin rite on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 10:00 am from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Father Raymond Lillis as the Celebrant. Grandsons, Jason Sliva, Eric Sliva, Gregory Dutchak, Timothy Sliva and Joseph Sliva served as altar servers. Honourary Bearers were grandchildren, Laura, Donna, Nicole, Melissa, Jessica, Caitlyn, Aaron, Sarah, Naomi, Stephanie, Mercedes, Kimberly, Austin and all eighteen great-grandchildren. Interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Jackson Brezinski, Griffin Brezinski, Kenneth Soloski, Garth Sliva, James Huber and Kevin Sliva serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Betty may be made toward Mass Offerings or to Palliative Care at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre as gifts of remembrance.

DRUL - It Is with great sadness we announce the passing of Al Drul, husband, dad and pa on January 3, 2017 at Yorkton Regional Hospital at the age of 76, after a courageous battle with cancer. Alexander Allan Drul was born to John and Mary (Groshak) Drul on June 1, 1940 in Menzie, MB. He was the youngest of three boys and at a young age his family moved to Rossburn, MB where he attended school and worked on the family farm. After graduation, Al moved to Winnipeg where he began his career with Avco Finance in 1960. Al met Veronika in Winnipeg and they married on July 22, 1961. In 1964 he was promoted to senior management with Avco and was transferred to Yorkton to open a new regional branch. He successfully managed the office for thirty-three and a half years, achieving many awards along the way for his excellence. Everyone who knew Al always knew he had a great story or joke to share. He always offered you a drink before you got in the door if you stopped by the house. He MC’d more weddings and events than anyone else we knew and as a charismatic man could entertain any crowd. While his decades of dedicated hard work was notable, Friday Happy Hour at the back of the office was a tradition to share good laughs with good friends. ‘Avco Al’ (his title as an ‘unofficial crop inspector’) retired from Avco in 1994, although he continued to dedicate his time to the greater Yorkton community throughout his retirement. Al was busy working as an insurance and financial advisor and in his final years Alexander’s Men’s Wear recruited him (for his impeccable style) and to assist in the store when he was away. Al’s commitment, excellent leadership skills and his belief to always give back was well-recognized within the community. He held the position of an executive member and/or President for many organizations over the years. Al was an active member of the Kinsmen and K-40 Clubs and participated in TeleMiracle, fundraising efforts of the Kinsmen Arena, as well as many other events. He was a board member for eight years for the Yorkton Housing Authority at Anderson Lodge and executive President for many years of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Al was also actively involved as director with minor sports, coaching hockey and baseball as well as volunteering many hours at the hall working bingos and special functions. While Al had a busy schedule he never missed a birthday party, just as cake was served he always came through that back door! Al was an integral part of the twenty-year tradition of the Mountview Open Golf Tournament. He loved cheering for his favourite teams the Bombers (then the Riders) and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Al was actively involved in chauffeuring many world class curling teams such as the Howard, Gushue, Martin and Ferbey teams when they were in town or in Kelowna. He especially enjoyed dancing and listening to his favourite song ‘Too Old to Die Young’ by Moe Bandy. Al loved having company over, even if that meant leaving the front grass half cut. He always said the grass would be there waiting for him when he got back. Al enjoyed many activities such as curling, golfing, fishing and boating at the many lakes in Saskatchewan and Manitoba with his young family. He loved his travels with his family, including a trip with Colleen to Russia and to the many parts of Canada and the US with Veronika. Another special trip was visiting Corinne and her family when they lived in Bolivia, South America. One of Al’s fondest trips was when he and Veronika travelled to Hawaii with the children and grandchildren. Al and Veronika had the good fortune to spend the last ten winters in Kelowna, BC. He is survived by his wife, Veronika of 56 years, son Curtis (Michelle) of Calgary, daughters Colleen of Edmonton and Corinne of Kelowna, granddaughters Sydney of Vancouver, Morgan and grand dog Molli, Kennedy of Calgary and brother Ernie (Lillian) of Rossburn. He is predeceased by his parents, John and Mary Drul, brother Zenon (Rose) Drul, and son-in-law John Snape. The family wishes to thank friends and relatives for support and prayers during Al’s illness and the health caregivers. Prayers were held on Sunday evening, January 8, 2017, the funeral service was held on Monday morning, January 9, 2017, all from the Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Yorkton. Very Rev. Mel Slashinsky was the Celebrant. Cantor, Yvonne Panchuk, assisted by members of the Parish Choir, sang the responses. The cross bearers were Sydney, Morgan & Kennedy Snape. Honourary bearers were Howie Fehrenbach, Geoff Dawson, Johnny Kruk, Nick Kucher, Ron Hubbs & Wayne Elliott.
