Edna (Shwedyk) Chalus left this world peacefully with her granddaughter, Crystal by her side on July 28th 2021. They just celebrated her 85th birthday together 3 days earlier with a big chocolate cake, at Edna's request. Edna was born Zenovia Shwedyk July 25th 1935 near Theodore, Saskatchewan. She received her education at Chernowitz Country School. Edna married her husband Steve on October 16th 1955. They had two children Dave and Danny in 1956 and 1957. The family farmed first in the Dobronoutz District and then in the sixties in the Beaverdale District. In the early eighties they sold the farm and retired to Yorkton. Upon retirement, they took several bus tours visiting the Maritimes and the USA. They also travelled to Hawaii frequently. Edna enjoyed a good read from True Stories and never missed a Price is Right episode. Edna moved to the Yorkton & District Nursing home in 2015. They sold their home in Yorkton in 2017 and Steve moved to the Bentley. Although they lived apart for a few years, Steve drove to visit her often and when he gave up driving, he would make sure he found a ride to visit her. In 2019, Steve moved to the Nursing home until his passing in 2020. Edna loved shopping for the people she loved. Crystal remembers getting a new wardrobe every Christmas. Edna was walking distance to Zellers and always found something to buy her. The same could be said for her great grandchildren Jordann and Lyric. When she was still able to independently shop, she would always have something for them too. Even when Crystal visited her at the Nursing home, she always had a stash of treats that she had won from Bingo to give her, one time a half-eaten chocolate bar. Crystal enjoyed spending time with Edna, she was a quiet, gentle woman with few words but these last few years brought out the spiciness in her. She kept the nursing home staff on their toes and Crystal enjoyed hearing many stories from her. Edna leaves behind her granddaughter Crystal (Cortney) Solonenko and her great grandchildren, Jordann & Lyric of Yorkton, sister Olga Lungull of Hudson Bay, and brother Ed (Gail) Shwedyk of Winnipeg. Edna was predeceased by her father and mother, three brothers Bill, Alex and one in infancy, 4 sisters Victoria, Mary, Lilian and Verna, her husband Steve and sons Dave and Danny and daughter in law Linda.
