Obituary of Mary Anne Mysko

Mary Mysko beloved wife of Walter Mysko of Yorkton, formerly of the Wroxton district passed away on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 at the Yorkton and District Nursing Home. She was eighty four years of age. A long time ago, Walter was playing the violin at a dance in Kamsack. When making his to way to the washroom, he noticed four young ladies sitting on a bench, but it was one dark haired beauty that stood out for Walter. When he returned from the washroom, Mary had moved to catch Walters' eye. Thus, began the saga of Mary and Walter. Mary was born May 15, 1934 in Kamsack. She attended Bear Stream School and Kamsack Collegiate, where she completed her grade twelve. She began her career at Dr. Leaven's office and then moved onto Dr. Wassill's Optometrists office. Shortly thereafter, Walter Mysko wed Mary on January 20, 1952, residing on the main homestead by Wroxton. Their family began with Valerie, then after a move back to Kamsack, Audrey was born five years later. However, the farm life was calling them back to Wroxton, where the family purchased their own homestead. Mary was never shy of hard work, maintaining a massive garden with an abundance of flowers, her favorite being roses. The kitchen was her domain where three-course meals evolved, including the best perogies this side Wroxton. When it came to harvesting, Mary was always involved. She hauled grain, took meals out to Walter, and would make runs to Yorkton or Roblin to get the necessary parts for any broken-down machinery. Mary was a kind-hearted gentle soul, with a smile that would light up the world. She always put everyone else first. Her family was most important to her. She had a great love for music and dancing, which gave her plenty of opportunity to dress up. During their time together, Mary and Walter enjoyed trips to British Columbia and Ontario. Their favorite trips were to Nashville, Tennessee and Bransen, Missouri. Mary and Walter shared a wonderful life together with no regrets. Mary was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Anne Kluchka (nee Filipchuk), brother Oreyst, and brothers-in-law John, Mike (Vera), Bill (Rose), Steve (Ann), and Peter (Mary). She is lovingly remembered by her husband Walter, daughter Val (Gord), their children Alex and Naomi (Andrew), and daughter Audrey (Launey). Sisters-in-law, Anne Mysko and Pauline Kluchka, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
