Obituary of Ada Sabadash

SABADASH - Ada Sabasah of Yorkton, formerly of Kamsack, Saskatoon & Cudworth passed away March 7, 2010. She was 89 years of age. Ada was born on November 17th, 1920 in Cudworth, Saskatchewan to Peter and Mary (nee Baranitsky) Sabadash. Predeceased by her parents and her brothers; Steve, Fred, Peter and John, sisters; Anne, Lena and Mary in infancy, by brother-in- law Peter Kapacila and by sister-in-law Kay Sabadash. Ada was the last survivor of the eight Sabadash children. She is survived by sisters-in-law, Theresa Sabadash of Yorkton and Irene Sabadash of Saskatoon; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. After leaving Cudworth, Ada spent many years working at the Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon. Upon her retirement Ada moved to Kamsack to live with brother Fred and sister Anne. During these years, Ada developed a love for fishing and she spent many hours out on Madge Lake with Fred and John, competing to catch the biggest fish. After Fred's death in 1997, Ada and Anne moved to Yorkton where she continued to reside until her death. Ada will always be remembered for the special care she gave to her sister Anne when Anne's health required her to enter the Yorkton Nursing Home. Ada would prepare homemade snacks and spend her days by Anne's bedside, keeping her company. She became very well known by the staff, for the love and compassion she always showed her sister. Ada loved to visit and while her health allowed it, she would make daily trips to the mall, share card games with her neighbors, have daily telephone conversations with Theresa and take in the Farmer's Market. Ada especially looked forward to family and friends spending time with her. She was proud of her brothers and sisters as well as each of her nieces and nephews and her apartment was filled with pictures of all their families. There was never a shortage of chocolate bars or goodies to be found at her house and she insisted on sending treats home with everyone who visited. In her spare time, Ada loved to crochet and it was always considered a prized possession when she sent a doyley home with you. Her work was extremely elaborate and required a patience that only Ada possessed. Ada was quick to acknowledge the hurt and struggles of others and she would openly share how she would pray for them. Ada was always grateful for that which God had blessed her with and was peacefully ushered into His presence in her sleep. Requiem Divine Liturgy was held on Thursday, March 11th at Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church, Cudworth, Saskatchewan with Rev. Father Mykola Romanets as the Celebrant. The responses were led by cantor, Bill Cherneski. The sacristan was Morris Stachniak and the cross bearer was Wally Kriger. The interment took place at Holy Transfiguration Parish Cemetery, Cudworth with Larry Sabadash, Roman Sabadash, Rick Sabadash and Adrian Sikorsky serving as the casket bearers.
