SERRAY - Anne Serray, beloved wife of the late Nicholas Serray, passed away on December 11, 2012 at the Ituna Pioneer Health Center. She was born on August 1, 1924 in the Parkerview district and on September 27, 1947 was united in marriage to Nick Serray . She will be sadly missed by her five children: Andrew (Claudia) of Winnipeg, Kathy Moldowan of Yorkton, Gloria (Doug Ingham) of Yorkton, John (Ann) of Marysville,B.C., Dan (Lisa) of Yorkton and her Grandchildren Barry Moldowan of San Jose, Cal., Darren Moldowan (Glenda) of Edmonton, Kristi (Brett) Deneiko of Edmonton, Alyna and Juliana Serray of Yorkton, Anna Muller of Edmonton, Larissa Klymkiw of Winnipeg, and her Great Grandchildren Erika Moldowan and Addeysen Deneiko. She worked for many years outside the home in the restaurant industry and loved her work and the people she worked with. Anne loved The Lord, and as long as her health permitted, she served as a devoted member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Yorkton and was a long-time member of The Ukrainian Womens Association. She was happy doing whatever she could for the church and spent many hours in the Auditorium making perogies. She also baked Kolachi for the funeral homes and because she was a perfectionist she would bake a few batches so that she could find 3 perfect ones. Nothing left her house unless it met her standards. She showed the same perfection in the kitchen. It was really tough to take over any part of a meal preparation without her eagle eye watching you and making sure that you were doing it her way. There was always a huge feast prepared when the "kids" were home. Anne loved her family. She constantly sacrificed much so her family would have it as good as she could possibly provide. We will miss you "Mom", "Momma" and "Baba", but what great memories we have to cherish! Anne was predeceased by her husband Nicholas Serray, her parents, John and Mary Stadnyk, her brothers Steve, Peter, John, Matt, Mike and Alex. She leaves to mourn her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her sisters Katie Kwasnitza of Yorkton, Effie Yurkowski of Winnipeg, Dora Parawinchak of Ontario and her brothers Bill (Janette) of Kelowna and George (Lena) of Regina.
