Obituary of Margaret Rose Oliowski
OLIOWSKI - Margaret Rose Oliowski (nee Calanchie). It is with sad hearts the family of Margaret Oliowski announce her passing on May 7, 2021 at the age of 76. She died at RUH in the company and love of her family. Margaret was born on August 1, 1944 in Yorkton to parents, Margaret (Dvernichuk) and George Calanchie, of Calder, Saskatchewan. Her early years were spent in Calder where her dad owned the local grocery store. It was here she learned the importance of family. Time was spent together playing cards, sharing family meals, and visiting. Following in her sister's footsteps she would train to become a teacher. She met and married her love Wollie who also shared a passion for teaching and playing cards. It was a match made in Heaven. Marge possessed an inspiring inner strength. The sudden loss of her husband left her to raise two young children. A mere year later she found herself unable to speak nor use her entire right side due to a stroke. Despite further medical setbacks, with the support of her family, Margaret persevered. She lived to see her kids graduate University. Her daughter get married. The arrival of three grandkids, Justin, Jenna and Joel, all of whom she could not have been more proud. Margaret loved curling, watching figure skating and a cup of coffee made just the right way. Sunday brunches, and letting the grandkids beat her at cards and board games were some of her favorite things. She was kind, unassuming and a great listener to friends and family alike. All the challenges she faced made her that much more grateful for all her family and friends. As Marge said "I've had a good life".
Marge was predeceased by her husband Wollie in 1977, her mother in 1970, father in 1989, her brother George (Tony) Calanchie in 2021, her brothers-in-law, Bill Rohatensky in 2002, and Kenneth Wereschuk in 1981, sister-in-law Virginia Wereschuk in 2015, nephews, Blair Rohatensky, in 1997, Reginald Wereschuk in 2006 and Wayne Rohatensky, in 2020.
