Alexandria has witnessed many inventions, changes in her 104 years. Her love was gardening growing large beautiful garlic (her pride), colorful flowerbeds, working hard on the farm side by side with Frank being his right hand help. They had a mixed farm raising chickens, turkeys, geese as well as selling cream hauling cream cans into town to meet the train. After her husband's passing in 1966 she bravely remained on the farm until leaving for Regina in 1975 while son Edward continued to work the land on his weekends. Babysitting was her passion, taking care of each child like her own, keeping in touch throughout the years until present especially with Wendy of B.C. and Michael of Regina. Every Sunday her meals were extra special as though company was coming with her expertise in Ukrainian cuisine, baking her own bread, pastries and cakes from scratch. Her garlic dill pickles were to die for! She loved to travel especially visiting her husband's place of birth in Poland, Caribbean islands, Hawaii, Princess Cruise and many, many trips to Ontario to visit her brothers. Loved ones may leave this world but NEVER leave our hearts.
