Obituary of Lenora Sylvia Stewart

STEWART - Lenora "Lenore" Stewart passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at the age of 89 years. She was born in the Hamton District to John and Helen Achtymichuk and completed her schooling in Yorkton. Lenora met the love of her life, Brent Stewart, at a card game her brother Alfie was hosting in their family home. When she was eighteen years old Brent and Lenore eloped to be married and years later, they welcomed their only daughter, Jodi May, to complete their family union. As a kind person, with a strong business sense and wonderful people skills, Lenore was successful in anything she put her mind to. Early in their marriage Brent and Lenore lived in Winnipeg where she worked in a furniture store. Upon their return to Yorkton, they began their own business called Nu-Way Dry Cleaners. Lenore would get to work early in the morning to start the laundry process, rush home to get Jodi ready for school, and head back to the business for a full day of work and service to others. Following the closure of their dry-cleaning business, they enjoyed running a Hobby Shop. She spent 47 years of her life in business and was regarded as a strong business woman with a generous soul. Upon retirement, Lenore enjoyed traveling to many places including her dream trip to Hawaii. Throughout her life Lenore loved keeping busy with many hobbies such as needlepoint, knitting, sewing, beading, latch-hooking rugs, playing cards - especially Bridge, doing Tai Chi, reading and bird watching. She will be cherished and always remembered for her hard-work ethic, empathy and class. Lenora is pre-deceased by her parents John and Helen Achtymichuk; husband Brent; brother and sister-in-law Alfie and Georgina Achtymichuk. Left to cherish her memory and honour her life are her daughter Jodi; sister Bernice; special niece Margo (Curtis) and their family; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
