| HELEN SOKAL 1917 - 2010 Peacefully in her sleep at Concordia Hospital, Helen Sokal passed away at the age of 92 years. Born in Kreuzberg, Manitoba in 1917, name changed in 1918 to Fraserwood, Manitoba. Helen was the last member of a pioneer family that homesteaded in the area. Helen was predeceased by her loving husband, John in 1970, parents Peter and Malania Stachiw, sisters Mary Murawka and Lena Kalyniuk, six brothers Hryno, Mike, John, Jack, Harry and Bill, the entire family is now back together. She is survived by her son Edward, and numerous nieces and nephews. Helen enjoyed reading, knitting, cross-stitching, embroidery, crocheting, gardening, playing cards, going on bus trips with the Transcona Seniors where she was an honorary member. She also enjoyed watching or listening to Bomber games on radio or TV, going to the casino. One of her favourite things was cooking Ukrainian foods and trying out new recipes, when she couldn't do that, she spent time watching the Food Channel (her favourite station on TV). The family would like to thank health care workers Dawn, Elka, Laura, Lisa, Charlene, health care nurses Andrea, Jane, JoAnn, Marlene, and MaryAnne at Access Transcona, their help allowed her to remain at home until this final hospital visit. We would also like to thank the nurses at Concordia Oncology and nurses and staff on the 3rd floor NE Concordia Hospital and Dr. Cindy Pachal, special thanks to Brenda Lee for her thoughtfulness and advice.
