Obituary of Caroline Danesewich

It is with great sadness that the family of Caroline Danesewich (nee Sopel) announce her passing on Monday, March 4, 2019 with her daughter and granddaughter by her side. Caroline was born on December 13, 1925 on a farm near Warsaw, Poland. In 1935, at the age of 9, Caroline and her family immigrated to Canada. They stayed on the Milo farm until her dad was able to acquire land in the Hard Rock area. This is where she lived until she met her husband Joe Danesewich. On October 3, 1944 she was united in marriage to Joe at the St. Stanislaus Church in Ituna. They bought a farm in the Smokeside district and two years later moved a mile east of the Homefield Store. Caroline worked hand in hand with her husband in all the farming endeavors he could muster up. Even though she worked to no avail on the family farm, she always had time to ensure her children were properly educated. In 1974, Joe and Caroline retired from the farm and moved to Yorkton making their home on Redwood Drive. Caroline worked as a Dietary Aid at the Yorkton Union Hospital for a number of years. She then retired taking her leisure time more seriously, travelling with friends to Mexico and Cuba, sun tanning on her back deck, flower and vegetable gardening and cruising the streets of Yorkton with Joe in their 1986 Camaro Z28. No one ever left Caroline's home hungry as she made sure everyone who visited was treated royally. In 2009, Caroline moved into Aspen Bluff Villa and called it home until December 12, 2012 when she became a resident of the Yorkton and District Nursing Home until her passing. Filled with vim and vigor, and a feistiness no one will ever forget, she challenged many of her caregivers. The staff at the nursing home were not only her caregivers, but truly became her family. Caroline was predeceased by her husband Joe of 56 years, parents, brother Frank (Olga) Sopel, brother in laws and sister in laws, Matt and Annie Danesewich, John and Stephanie Danesewich, Roy Tuchuk, and Stanley Zlomanchyk, son in law William Scherbey, and nephew John Danesewich. She will be remembered and missed by her daughters Fran and Florence, and son Matthew (Eleana), grandchildren Jolene (Tyler), Tyler (Corinna), William Junior (Cindy), Brandise and Rebecca (George), great-grandchildren Declan, Maisy, Alli, Shelby, Shayna and Shynelle, sisters Kay and Annie, and many nieces and nephews. The Funeral Liturgy was held on Thursday, March 7, 2019 at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Very Rev. Father Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. Lorne Stechyshyn and members of St. Mary's choir led in the responses. The cross bearers were Maisy & Alli Wheeler and the epistle reader was Jolene Kindiak. The interment followed in the Garden of St. Luke at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Tyler & Corinna Wheeler, Tyler & Jolene Kindiak and William Jr. & Shelby Scherbey serving as the casket bearers. Memorials in memory of Caroline may be made to the Yorkton & District Nursing Home as gifts of remembrance. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome.com Service Details.
