Obituary
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jennie Hnydyk on September 11, 2022, at the age of 84 years.
Jennie was born in Innisfree, Alberta on April 25, 1938. After grade school Jennie pursued and completed her degree in Education from the University of Alberta. She taught for one year in Minburn and two years in Innisfree, then completed her teaching career at St. Martin’s School in Vegreville, retiring in 1994 after 37 years of teaching.
Jennie married Ron Hnydyk in 1960. They lived and worked in Vegreville their entire lives. They had 2 children, Michelle (Mike) Koebernick of Drayton Valley and Bev (Leonard) Chomlak of St. Paul. Jennie’s pride and joy were her two granddaughters, Jenna Marie & Julie Ann Chomlak. Jennie always said they took after their Grandpa (Ron) when it came to humour and laughter.
After retirement, Jennie kept herself busy with volunteering (Christmas Bureau, U.C.W.L. & Hospital Auxiliary). Ron & Jennie had a love of travel, and they travelled all over the world, including Europe, Ukraine, Poland, South America, Africa, Northwest Territories & Singapore. Jennie’s most favourite things to do were puzzle books, shopping, bingo and a wide variety of crafts.
Jennie is survived by her 2 daughters, Michelle & Beverly; granddaughter, Julie (Danny); & sister, Alice Sydora of Innisfree. She was predeceased by her husband, Ron; son, Terry James; parents, Walter & Sophie Nemchuk; granddaughter, Jenna Marie Chomlak; brother-in-law, John Sydora; & sister, Helen (Nestor) Bohaichuk.
A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul Extendicare Residents’ Council (Art & Music Program) c/o 5626 51 Street, St. Paul AB T0A 3A1. To send condolences online, please visit www.gracegardensfuneralchapel.com.
