Date of Passing: May 14, 2018
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryOLGA PRITCHARD (nee DERKACH) Olga Pritchard left us on May 14, 2018. She was born in Winnipeg June 16, 1921 to Ukrainian immigrants, Wasyl and Annie. They instilled in her a desire for justice and equality for all, women and Aboriginal peoples in particular. Olga had been a resident of Bethania Care Home for many years. Her passing is mourned by family, both by blood and by choice. The unprecedented caring and compassion of all the staff of Bethania was greatly appreciated by Olga who claimed the staff as her family. She is survived by daughter Dawna (aka Bunny), special friend Sharon Burley, who was with her at her passing, and many friends over the years. We are thankful for recent visitors: Carla, cousin Doreen, Leonard, Robin, Sherry, John and Victor. She was predeceased by husband Chuck, sister Mary Sequens, brothers, John and Peter, and so many dear friends. At her request, there will be no formal service, with interment of ashes at Elmwood Cemetery, June 16 at 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to a cause of your choice such as the Manitoba Association of Women's Shelters or Bethania Care Home grounds improvement fund.
