Obituary:

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Mary Babee on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre at the age of 70 years.

Mary was born on November 15, 1939 to John and Pearl (nee Lozinski) Katcher. She received her education at Sifton School. Following her schooling, she entered the workforce at McFayden Housekeeping.

On April 26, 1958, Mary married Stanley Babee and together they farmed and raised their family. Mary assumed the duties of a farmer’s wife tending to the chickens, milking cows, cooking and cleaning.

Mary’s greatest love was her family. She worked tirelessly to keep everyone happy and healthy. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

Mary had a genuine gift of hospitality for family, friends and neighbours. She excelled at cooking and baking, and it was her life long passion. Her specialty was her homemade bread and doughnuts. She also enjoyed playing cards.

Mary was a member of the Russian Orthodox Church. She took pride in making sure that the grass at the Russian Orthodox Cemetery was well maintained at all times.

Mary was predeceased by her father, John Katcher Sr. on Feburary 11, 1979; mother, Pearl Katcher on December 29, 1973; four brothers, Nick Katcher on Feburary 1, 1976, John Katcher on April 28, 1988, Leonard Katcher on January 3, 1998 and Walter in infancy.

Catherine (Joss) Baseraba was born on March 25, 1918 on her parent’s homestead near Fishing River, Manitoba. She was the third eldest of nine children born to Michael and Mary (nee Helash) Yarema. Her early years were spent on her parent’s farm. She received her elementary education at Norton School to Grade 8 and completed Grade 9 by correspondence at home.

On October 8, 1939 she was united in marriage to Harry Joss at Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church in Fishing River. Shortly after, they moved to Brantford, Ontario where they both secured employment. After 6 years, Catherine and Harry returned to Fishing River to farm. Catherine assumed the duties of a farmer’s wife tending to chickens, milking cows, cooking, gardening and preserving fruits and vegetables. In 1957 the family moved into Dauphin. Catherine’s first job was as a part-time sales clerk at The Fashion Shoppe. She later accepted a full-time position at Modern Cleaners and remained there for 17 years. She worked at the House of Crafts and especially enjoyed working with people.

Harry passed away on June 9, 1973. Catherine continued to work part-time for several years. She met Bill Baseraba in the church choir to which they both belonged. Catherine and Bill were married on July 10, 1976. They both retired and enjoyed many years of socializing with friends, card parties, traveling and dancing, which they both loved. Bill passed away on January 31, 1997. In the fall of 1997 Catherine moved to St. George’s Place. She quickly became acquainted with the other residents and became involved in the many activities there. She was proud to make this her home for almost 13 years.

She was a long standing member of the UCWL, Apostleship of Prayer, Sisterhood, Blue Army and an associate member of the SSMI. Catherine loved to sing and enjoyed singing in the Church Choir.

Catherine was a member of the St. Paul’s Home Ladies’ Auxiliary and volunteered her time at various social functions held for the residents. She was also a member of the Ukrainian Recreation and Cultural Association. Her generosity was evident in her support of many charities and the adoption of a foster child in South America.

Some of her pleasures in life were singing, Sunday afternoon drives, card games, knitting, sewing, playing Mrs. Claus, costume dress up, lovely clothes, jewelry, sparkle and glitter, stuffed animals and pets.

Obituary:

John Bayduza
John Bayduza was born January 2, 1914 at Sifton, MB to parents Tom and Nellie Bayduza (nee Stadnyk). He was the 8th of 11 children.
He grew up on the family homestead North West of Sifton and went to school until Grade 5 at the Oukrainia School. He farmed there until 1948 at which time he purchased land at Fork River and that became his home.
On June 3, 1961 John married Alice Dykun and they moved to a parcel of land which they purchased 2 miles east of Fork River. They were blessed with two children Audrey and David.
John’s passions were his family and his farm. Virtually every Sunday the family would go visit one of his numerous brothers and sisters whom he loved dearly.
John got married late in life and always said that “he hoped that he lived long enough to have at least one grandchild.” He was so proud the day T.J. his first grandson was born and was blessed with seven more grandkids after that. His grandkids became his life and to them he was affectionally known as “Pops.” He attended every possible function he could when it came to his grandkids. It became a real dilemma when there were three hockey games, a dance recital and a piano recital all on the same day involving different kids, but somehow he managed to figure out a way to attend them all.
He also loved his farm. He would go out daily to check his crops and cattle and even upon retireing to Dauphin in 1989 he still made daily trips out to the farm, rain or shine, to help David or Ron or just to check the crops. His favourite season was harvest and he came out to the farm to combine or swath until he was 85 years old.
John was always actively involved in the community, serving on numerous organizations such at the Fork River Curling Club, Fork River Community Hall, Manitoba Pool Elevators, National Farmers Union, Fork River 4-H Club Leader and a member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Winnipegosis and Dauphin.
John was predeceased by his parents, brothers Bill and wife Mary, Jim and wife Elsie, Jack, Steve and Michael, sisters Lucy and husband Mike Kotz, Mary and husband Bill Tisnohuz, Ann and husband Glen Cameron, Pearl and husband Peter Podruski, mother-in-law Annie Dykun, sister-in-law Ruth Dykun and brother-in-law Mike Shymko.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years Alice, daughter Audrey and husband Ron Warkentin, son David and wife Angie, grandchildren T.J., Allyson, Terrilyn and Joel Warkentin, Matthew, Kara, Kristen and Andrew Bayduza, sister Elsie Shymko, sister-in-law Liz Bayduza, brother-in-law Joe Dykun, sister-in-law Mary and Ernie Michaleski, and sister-in-law Sylvia and Rev. Jakiw Rybalka, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
