Obituary of Wanda Korchowski

Live Stream: https://www.facebook.com/yourfamilylikeapartofours/videos/804825853384269/ The family of Wanda Korchowski announce her sudden passing due to a stroke on Sunday, May 3, 2020. Wanda (nee Herczakowski) was born in Borowe Poland on October 15, 1931 to Helena and Roman Herczakowski. She attended school in Poland after which she and her sister Irina worked in a glass factory. In 1966 she met Peter Korchowski from Canada and they married in Poland. In February 1967, Wanda and her daughter Donna came to join Peter and his son Joe in Canada. The family first lived in Kelliher, SK and shortly afterwards they bought land in the Theodore area where the family began farming. After Peter's death in July of 1978, Wanda, Donna and Joe continued to stay on the family farm until the farm house deteriorated and they moved into a home in Theodore. Wanda lived independently until recently. Wanda had a passion for knitting. She loved going to garage sales to buy yarn so she could knit afghans, scarves, slippers and mittens. During her lifetime, she must have made over 100 afghans, if not more. She would later give them away for Christmas presents, birthdays or just because. She was an extremely generous person. Knitting helped her pass the time and helped her hands from getting arthritis. She was also an avid gardener. She had a green thumb and loved planting a big garden. She was especially proud of her winter garlic that she grew every year. She is survived by her only daughter, Donna of Theodore; grandson, Jonathon of Regina; sister, Irina Klijewska (niece Ann and great-niece Karina) all of Poland; sister-in-law, Maria Herczakowski; niece, Jadwiga (Cec, Paul and Elizabeth); niece Helen (Wayne)and their children, Maria and Abigail; nephews, Joe, Peter, Roman (Leanne); step-daughter, Cec Wowchuk and family, Mary Korchowski and family. She is predeceased by her parents, sister and cousins from Poland; brother, Eugene Herczakowski of Regina; husband, Peter and stepson, Joe. Service Details.
