It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Phyllis Johanna Zenkawich (Nee Dorosh). Phyllis passed away peacefully at St Paul's Lutheran Home, with her family at her side, on July 29, 2012, at the age of 68. Phyllis, given name Felice Johanna Dorosh, was born on June 28, 1944 in the Ituna rural district to Alex and Annie Dorosh (nee Yaschuk). Phyllis attended school in Ituna and graduated in 1962. Her working career included a wide variety of employment. She worked many years at Home Care in the Melville district and later started at St Peter's Hospital in Melville as a Dietary Aid. Upon successfully passing and completing her cooking requirements, she accepted the position of cook at St Peter's Hospital, from which she would later retire after 25 years of service. With a very positive attitude, Phyllis overcame many struggles and health challenges over the years. She enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening, watching hockey and playing bingo. Always excited to hear and brag about her children and grandchildren's accomplishments, no matter how big or small, Phyllis was very proud of her family, which is what made her the dedicated mother, grandmother and great grandmother she was. Phyllis was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Annie Dorosh, brother John Dorosh, and sister Ethel Klimack.
