Doreen Yakiwchuk

With broken hearts we announce the passing of Doreen Yakiwchuk at the age of 75. She passed away on Friday, September 25th at Park Manor Care home with her family by her side. Doreen is survived by her husband Metro and their four children Susan (Mark); Allan (Cori); Barry (Angie); Tammy (Ian) and 8 grandchildren: Jonathan, Daniel, Jordan, Christopher, Brooklynn, Collin, Boeden & Drake.

Doreen’s life was exactly what she wanted it to be. She was a stay at home mom who devoted her life around her husband, children & grandchildren. She was known as Baba and would always attend every sports event, dance recital or music concert. She was their biggest fan. She was so proud of her grandchildren.

Doreen also enjoyed camping, and music concerts. Her and Dad traditionally attended Dauphin Country Fest for 10 straight years and always danced the night away. Those concerts were Mom’s ideal vacation. Our house was always filled with family and friends as she loved to entertain. The door was always open. Mom always looked forward to family celebrations she just loved listening to dad play his guitar along side their children & grandchildren. She was born in Minnedosa, MB. and raised our family in Transcona. Mom and dad would have celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary on Sept 28th. Mom thank you for all you have done for us. You have left us with rich lives and many amazing memories. We love you with all our hearts.

Thank you to the nurses and staff at Park Manor Care Home for taking care of Mom.
