Patricia Hnatuk (nee Shindruk)

Obituary

Passed on

June 9, 1953 – May 28, 2025

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Pat Hnatuk, with her family by her side, on May 28, 2025 at the age of 71.

She is survived by 2 daughters, Donna Klassen (James Lazinski) and Stacey Jira (Brad), and her grandchildren Alex Klassen (Stephen Carroll), Bryston and Kolsen Jira.  Also left to mourn her passing are sisters-in-law Vicki Lazaruk, Mary Anne Henkel and Phyllis Hnatuk, Aunt Stella Shindruk, cousins Lorine, Ross and Harvey Shindruk and numerous extended family.

Pat was predeceased by her husband Don, her parents Willie and Mabel Shindruk and many extended family and friends.

Pat was born in Elphinstone, MB on June 9, 1953.  After completing school in Elphinstone, she married Don Hnatuk on October 16, 1971 and the couple moved to Winnipeg.  Donna was born in 1972.  In 1976, they settled in Stonewall, and Stacey completed their family in 1977.

Pat worked for many years doing homecare in the Stonewall area until declining health forced her stop.  She filled that void with her greatest joys, her grandchildren. 

Cremation has taken place, and a private family burial will be held at a later date.

The family would like to thank the EMTs and Stonewall Hospital for their care.  A big thank you to her neighbors at The Palamo.  Your help and friendship meant a lot to her.

“When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done, help me leave behind some reasons to be missed, don’t resent me and when you’re feeling empty, keep me in your memory, and leave out all the rest”
