Michael was born on the family farm in the Veregin District on April 11, 1932. He was the 8th child born to Alexander and Paraska (Polly) Andrychuk who had 10 children. Michael was raised on the farm and attended Rona School. As a young man, Michael helped on the family farm and met Verna Prokopchuk, who he married on October 15, 1955. Michael and Verna took over the family farm, which they operated with pride. They were blessed with two children, Dwayne and Colleen. They had a mixed farm, with an immaculate farmyard with a large garden, fruit trees and many beautiful flowerbeds. They farmed until they retired to their present home in Yorkton in 2005, until he was moved to Melody Manor in May 2021. Michael and Verna enjoyed travelling to Hawaii, Europe, Florida, Mexico and spent many winters in Arizona.

Michael was predeceased by his parents, sisters Anne (Fred) Oystryck, Nettie (George) Achtemichuk, Mary (Ivan) Uhryn, Kay (Frank) Klos, Elsie Holowatuk and his brothers Nick and George.

Michael is also survived by his brothers Peter and Danny, brother-in-law Peter Holowatuk, and sisters-inlaw Pearl Andrychuk and Elsie Andrychuk, as well an many nephews and nieces.

ANDERSON - It is with great sadness that the family of Skip (Stanley) Anderson of Yorkton, SK, announce his passing on Monday, May 22, 2023, at the age of 78. Skip was born and raised in the Preeceville/Sturgis area. His career with the Government of Canada started at the Orcadia Radar Base and he retired from the Armouries in Yorkton. While at the Radar Base, he met the love of his life, Helen, whom he married on March 27, 1967. Along with her came his daughter, Brenda, whom he raised as his own. He is remembered by his family and friends as a loving, kind and dedicated man. He loved to laugh and make others laugh, therefore pulling many pranks on those closest to him. His laugh was contagious and he had a good sense of humour. Not only were he and Helen inseparable, but he was a huge part of his daughters life, devoting much time and energy to her and her family. The grandkids remember him driving them to their activities, always making them feel like it was the absolute best part of his day, then taking them out for a treat afterwards, just the two of them. He spent lots of time with them and taught them how to fish, camp and play cards. He would sometimes take them to work and let them experience new and exciting things no one else ever could. He took his daughter and then grandkids gopher shooting and let each of them learn to drive at a young age, sitting on his knee. As fishing was one of his passions, there are many stories with family and friends that bring back fond memories for each to cherish. To his great grandchildren, he was always ready for a snuggle in his big comfy chair and maybe a tickle or two. Being around him, one had that intangible feeling, a sense of peace, joy and love, where everyone knew they were welcome. His loyalty, devotion, dependable and loving nature will be greatly missed by his family. We will be forever thankful for the role model he has been to us and the life lessons he taught us through his actions. We cherish every moment we spent with such an amazing man and his influence will continue to be felt and help our family long into the future. He leaves to mourn his wife, Helen, his daughter Brenda (Wayne), his grandchildren; Lucia (Brenden), Ryan (Angela), and Tyler (Mandee), along with his great grandchildren; Addi, Dax, Kolby, Brooks, Sadie, Lincoln, Kash, and Mila, his sisters; Diane and Bonnie (Peter) and many other family members and friends. May he continue to have the best seat in the house for his hockey games with all the sweets he wants, and his dream vehicle in immaculate condition with a spot saved for the love of his life right beside him. We are happy to have you free of pain and suffering looking down on us and guiding us in our daily lives. Out of respect for Stanleys wishes, there will be no funeral service

SOLONENKO - The family of Sylvia Solonenko of the Stornoway district sadly announce her passing on May 15, 2023. Sylvia was born March 12, 1943 in Dauphin, MB. Daughter of John and Ann Ficzycz. She attended school in Dauphin and after graduation she then completed her dental hygienist program. She worked up north as a dental hygienist and then in Yorkton. She met her husband Dennis and was united in marriage August 20, 1971. Ten years later they welcomed their first of three children Cortney, Coralie and Devin. She and Dennis farmed with his family in Stornoway for many years. She was quite the farm wife and took on many roles on the farm as a gardener, housewife, looking after cows, raising chickens and her beloved job of grass cutting. She was very passionate about maintaining the farm yard with her flowers galore and keeping her lawn lush and green. Her riding lawn mowers have had many hours put on them as you could usually find her riding her lawn mower around the yard even if she wasn’t cutting the grass. After Dennis passed, she took on the role of the farm boss. She knew exactly what was happening on the farm and who was coming and leaving. She was happy living on the farm. She was most proud of all of her grandkids. It was very important to her that she was active in their lives and activities and always tried to attend all of Jordann’s dance recitals and any school functions for the kids. She always enjoyed stories and any pictures of the kids. She would never tell you if they had been misbehaving and definitely doing something they shouldn’t have been doing because in her eyes they can do no wrong, they were just innocent kids being kids. Jordann’s Ukrainian dancing was very precious to her and she always talked about all of her costumes and how good she was at dancing. Damien had many sleepovers over the years and made many memories over those years. He kept her entertained these last few years and she always enjoyed having him over. Sylvia enjoyed her weekend girl trips to Regina with her good friend Sindy. They were always ready to go shopping and shared coffee dates for many years. She and her good friend Betty made many memories together as Betty became her taxi later in life taking her to many farmers markets, hair appointments and bowling games. She had made some travels in her lifetime including Paris, Europe, Hawaii, cruises, and trip to the U.S. She was a member of the Rhein Lions Club for 20 years and enjoyed her time in the Ladies Bowling League for a couple years. She leaves to cherish in her memory her son Cortney (Crystal) children Jordann and Lyric, daughter Coralie (Jason) and children Parker and Holdyn, and son Devin (Sarah) and child Damien. Her sister Shirley (George) Dauphin, brother Morris (Gail) of Winnipeg, sister Mary Ann (Cliff) of Dauphin and Jane (Argyle) of Dauphin. Sylvia was predeceased by her late husband Dennis, her parents, sister Diana and brother Wayne. Sylvia will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered for her smile, caring heart, her willingness to always lend a hand and her motherly advice. May she and dad polka again. The prayer service was held on Friday, May 26, 2023 and the funeral service on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Crystal Bailey, Certified Celebrant officiating. Serving as cross bearer was Holdyn Nott. The interment took place in the Garden of Crucifixion at Yorkton Memorial Gardens with Rob Fisher, Sean Mehling, Parker Nott, Lyric Solonenko, Tyler Kindiak and Blaise Zrudlo serving as the casket bearers. Memorial donations may be made to the Rhein District Lions Club, Box 4 Rhein, SK, S0A 3K0 or the Health Foundation for Cancer Care, 41 Betts Ave, Yorkton, SK S3N 1M1 as gifts of remembrance.
