Mom was born in Morden on September 28th,1959 to her loving parents Charlie and Connie Barnhart. They lived in Windygates until they moved to their farm in Kaleida in 1967. Mom spent her childhood riding horses and helping on the farm. Mom attended school in Manitou and graduated from Nelly McClung collegiate in 1977. After High School she went to nurses training at St. Boniface Hospital where she became an LPN. Mom started her nursing career at the Winkler Hospital and returned home to the family farm. In 1985, she met the love of her life at a social in Manitou a farming truck driver, from Balmoral named Kevin. After meeting Kevin, it didn’t take long before Mom got a nursing job in Winnipeg and moved to the city. In 1989, her and Kevin married and bought a house in Stonewall. In the following years, they welcomed their four children Trevor, Kayla, Derrick and Tyler into the world. Mom was a loving, dedicated home maker. There was always a home cooked meal ready on the table at the end of the day and she never failed to have dainties or deserts ready if company came by. At times it seemed there wasn’t anything mom couldn’t handle. It wasn’t uncommon to see her doing everything from helping Dad fix his truck to keeping the yard looking beautiful. Somehow, she still had time to help with homework, school projects or anything else her family needed without ever missing a beat. When her oldest son Trevor turned 12 she started doing home care. She loved her job helping people and developed lasting relationships with her clients. In 2007 mom and dad built a new home where she lived until she passed. Her and dad loved going on road trips and they could often be found on a long weekend heading off to a casino somewhere. She enjoyed curling, both watching and playing and we all had the chance to curl alongside her over the years. She was an avid Blue Jays fan and rarely missed a game. She travelled around North America to see several games in person with her daughter Kayla in New York, Boston, and Toronto. Seeing many of these games were on her bucket list.

September 20, 1946-July 16, 2019     It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Rowena Kadyniuk on Tuesday, July 16, 2019 at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 72. Rowena was surrounded by her loved ones during her journey home. Rowena, better known as Roni by her many family and friends, is survived by her children and grandchildren; Wade (Debbie) and their children Bret, Montana, Chase and Ali; Keltie (Jamie) and their son Easton; and Ryan (Jackie) and their daughters Taylor, Jordyn and Blayke. Her sister Lesley Moore, and brothers William (John) Pritchard and Mark Pritchard. Best friends April Osnach and Diana Mae Boychuk (Mom’s Guardian Angels). Numerous nieces and nephews, respectfully too many to mention, and many dear friends. She is predeceased by her husband Wilfred Kadyniuk, her son Craig Kadyniuk, her father John (Cy) Stenson Pritchard, her mother Lorraine Onofreychuk and her stepfather Martin Onofreychuk. Roni was born in Gimli, Manitoba on September 20, 1946 to John and Lorraine Pritchard. She grew up in Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba and attended school at Gimli Composite High School. She met Wilfred in 1965 at the Rainbow Dance Gardens and the pair quickly became inseparable. It didn’t take them long to fall in love and decide to get married. She married Wilfred on July 31, 1966, then welcomed their 4 beautiful children into this world who were and will forever be the most important parts of her life. They lived and raised their children on the family farm outside of Teulon Manitoba. Roni was a wife and homemaker while the children were growing up. Numerous times there would be a full house whenever she would babysit her many nieces that lived close by, and there were many family barbecues that took place there. She spent a lot of time visiting her mom and taking her children to swim at Winnipeg Beach. She enjoyed fishing with her stepfather and sister’s family over the summer months as well. One can’t fail to mention the several Christmases that the families would gather together and spend in her sister’s home in Selkirk. Once her kids were older, Roni was employed as an Educational Assistant for the Interlake School Division for many years, mainly at the Teulon Elementary School. During this time, and after retiring, she also babysat many children including her beautiful grandchildren and the children of her best friend April Osnach. One of Roni’s favorite hobbies besides container gardening, was knitting and crocheting. Along with her mom and sister, they would spend many hours either together or on the phone creating some of the most beautiful afghans, mittens, toques and everything in between. Add to that list all the ceramics that she made with her mom. In recent years, her sister had introduced her to quilting and there she went again, making many more amazing things which she enjoyed immensely. She was just naturally gifted, and it really did show. Roni also had a passion for bingo and cribbage. She was always up for a game! She loved spending her time with her best friend April and niece Diana Mae. Roni and April always had something going on when they got together, and her daily texts will be missed. Between the three of them, get togethers could be as simple as visiting, laughing about recent political events, helping organize Roni’s new apartment, correcting, or baking. Roni’s greatest passion was her family, and her greatest treasures were her 8 grandchildren. They all had her heart near and far. Proud Grandma would be an understatement! Everyone that had the honor of being a part of Roni’s life truly ended up being a part of her family in her heart. She had a big heart and openly shared it with everyone. She will be deeply and terribly missed by her family, friends and any that had the privilege to know and love her. Out of respect for Roni’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service. Instead, there will be a Celebration of Her Life with a luncheon held in her memory on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at 11:00 am, located North of Teulon at St. Stephens Greek Orthodox Church Hall, Pleasant Home Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Roni’s Memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, and the Lung Association of Manitoba. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the paramedics and the staff at the Stonewall & District Health Centre, as well as select Medical staff at St. Boniface Hospital ICMS Ward that gave Roni the precious gift of time to be with her loved ones awhile longer. We will always be eternally grateful for the extra days that allowed us hope and the extended time with her! Thank you.
