Mary Yarema

Obituary

Passed on

April 12, 1923 – March 31, 2018            Peacefully, with family by her side, Mary passed away at the age of 94 years at the Arborg Personal Care Home. Born April 12, 1923 in Ukraine, she was the eldest of 3 children born to Mike and Nellie Zwarych. She immigrated to Canada by boat with her family at the age of 6. She left home at an early age, completing a business course and worked in Winnipeg. Mary loved music and dancing and while attending a wedding celebration, met Ned, the love of her life. It was an instant mutual attraction and within a few months they were married on October 14, 1943. They continued to enjoy dancing throughout their life together. They loved entertaining visitors and playing cards with friends. Mary was always known as a hard worker, excellent cook, a generous lady, and devoted to her family. Above all, she was a spiritual person. Her love for God and neighbour compelled her to share precious Bible truths with others concerning the hope of a better future under God’s kingdom where life will be free of suffering, sorrow, sickness and death, as promised in Revelation 21: 3,4. Ned and Mary raised 3 children; Judy (Dennis), Jerry (Brenda), Jeff (Peggy). She was a loving grandmother and great grandmother to Chris (Cayna-Lee) Marcus and Lauren; Chad, Connor and Delaney; Racquel, Stephanie and Kaitlyn; Ninette (Kent); Richanda (Chris) Brynley; and Natalie. We wish to thank all the staff at the Arborg Personal Care Home for their care and compassion shown to mom during her stay of 12 ½ years. Thank you also to those who visited and supported her through her long journey battling Alzheimer’s. In accordance with Mary’s wishes cremation has taken place and a private family interment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mary’s memory to the Arborg Personal Care Home, Box 10, Arborg, MB., R0C 0A0, attention Wanda.
