Obituary of Doreen Mabel Sereda

Doreen Mabel Rodych was born on May 28th, 1946 in Foam Lake Hospital by parents Sophie and Mike Rodych. Doreen was the oldest of three siblings; survived by her brother Methodius (Donna) Rodych of Medicine Hat, and their daughter Stefanie (Dane) McKinley and granddaughter Adelynn and sister Christine (Leon) Froess of Regina and their daughters Courtney, Candice and Kendra. In her early years, Doreen grew up in Beckenham, SK while attending school in Runneymeade, Ituna, and Foam Lake. On May 28th, 1966 Doreen married her high school sweetheart Emil Sereda in Ituna SK on her 20th birthday. Doreen, a proud and devout Catholic dedicated to her family didn't let much slow her down. Despite both Emil and herself working full time jobs and raising six young children; five boys and one girl, her devotion to faith and family never wavered. Doreen's creative passions included spending time in the kitchen, floral design, and cross-stitching. Doreen was almost as devout to her daytime soap operas (stories as we all knew them to be) as she was to her faith and family…but not quite. If it wasn't her ‘stories' she was watching it was her armchair quarterbacking of the Riders or skipping Team Saskatchewan or Canada at curling. She loved to read, specifically about Princess Diana and grew toward a new-found love of fishing with Emil, most of the time catching bigger fish than he did! After many years of health issues and a continued demonstration of strength, Doreen passed away peacefully on Friday January 12, 2018 surrounded by family at the Yorkton Union Regional Hospital at the age of 71. Waiting to greet Doreen in Heaven (predeceased by) both her parents, father Mike Rodych in 2001, mother Sophie (Krywulak) in 2017, one twin son Kim in 1996 and faithful Sparky who was always there to cuddle with Doreen. Survived by husband Emil Sereda of 51 years of marriage, son Kevin (Tracy) of Regina SK and children Koby, Carson, Ayden, and Marysa; Kelly (Joy) of Kitchener ON and son Tanner; Trent (Nicole) of Saskatoon SK and children Josee and Halle; Kyle (Angela) of Moose Jaw and daughter Jazmyne, and Amanda (Curtis) Knihnitski of Saskatoon and daughters Peyton and Aubrey.
