Stephanie Nadia Ohirko

It is truly a sad day, not only for her family, but for everyone that knew this amazing woman. There was never a time that our mom was less than perfect. Continuously positive, ever genuine, compassionate, concerned, and loving, mom made everyone feel welcomed and important.

Born in Winnipeg, Baker Drive was home to the Ohirko family since 1968. Stephanie created a beautiful home and life for her family; the responsibility she placed over and above anything else. A steady volunteer in community sports and politics, she was a realtor with Park Georgia, a board member for Coquitlam SHARE Society, and a legendary Curler - skip second to none.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Walter in 2000. Left to mourn are her children: Mike (Rita Huang) Jillean (Carlo Puleo) and Corinne (Ken DiPietro); grandchildren Michael, Vanessa, Makenna and Nickoli will miss their Baba beyond words.

Stephanie will be dearly missed by many more people that she knew, invited in, and embraced just like family.

Our mom suggested that instead of flowers she wanted everyone to simply promise to love and take care of their families. “Other than that, that’s about it”

A memorial service will take place 1 pm on Saturday, November 13th at the First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel. 1340 Dominion Avenue, Port Coquitlam.
