Obituary of Zenon Musey

MUSEY - Mr. Zenon Musey of Yorkton, SK, husband of Ann, passed away suddenly May 1, 2010 at the family farm at Phone Hill. Zenon was born on May 16, 1932 at Hubbard, SK, oldest child of Emil and Annie (nee Flinta). He grew up working on the farm. Over the years he worked at various jobs off the farm as well. Zenon married Ann Washezko on November 24, 1959. They farmed in the Hubbard district until 1965 when they moved to the Phone Hill farm, where they lived until 1994. They then moved to Yorkton. They continued keeping busy with their Bed & Breakfast. During his farming years, Zenon also worked for Morris Industries, Leon's Manufacturing, plus others as a welder. He was mechanically inclined and kept his and some of his neighbor's machinery and motors going long after the rest of us thought it was mission impossible. In his younger years he enjoyed hunting, fishing, mushroom picking, dancing and a mean game of Troika. Zenon was a member of Jaroslaw Church and St. Mary's Church. He was a member of Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood. He spent many evenings perched on that stool, coat checking at the Cultural Centre. He helped gather pussy willows for Palm Sundays and he also ushered at Divine Liturgies.
