Slemko, Mary
May 15, 1923 - April 27, 2014
Mary was born in Hampton, Saskatchewan and came to the Hussar area in 1940 where she met Mike Slemko. They were married on January 13, 1941 and have always felt fortunate to call Hussar their home. Mary is survived by her husband, Mike, (of 73 years); daughter Geraldine Clark of Penticton, B.C. and son Bill (Kay) Slemko of Hussar; brother Peter Ostafichuk of Canora, Saskatchewan, sister Stella (Earl) Olver of Ninette, Manitoba and sister-in-law Mary Armstrong of Calgary. She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Stacy Clark of Winnipeg, Trevor (Dorothy) Clark of Langley, B.C., Heather Lyons of Calgary, and Kevin (Barb) Slemko of Hussar. Mary will be fondly remembered by her great-grandchildren: Meredith Clark, Hannah and Justin Lyons, and Erin and Jason Slemko. Mary enjoyed may years on the farm. Whether on the combine or bringing delicious meals out to the field, she was never to busy for family and friends. She will be remembered for her love of gardening and her passion for baking - having made some of the finest buns and doughnuts in the area. She was very active member of the Hussar community. Her presence will be missed by her many friends and relatives; too numerous to mention. Funeral services will be held at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Hussar, AB on Friday, May 16, 2014 at 2 p.m. Interment at the Hussar Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Hussar Cemetery Fund or the Hussar Community Hall, c/o Village of Hussar, PO Box 100, Hussar, AB T0J 1S0.
