Obituary of Sylvia Kendel

KENDEL - Sylvia Rose Kendel (nee Artemenko) was born November 19, 1935 on the family farm near Calder, SK. She passed away April 4, 2019 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. She was predeceased by her husband Norman, her parents Eli and Mary Artemenko, son-in-law Rick and siblings; Bill, George, John, Eugene and Mary. She leaves to mourn her passing; her son Bob (Debbie), her daughters Laurie and Shelley (Mike), grandchildren; Christy (Peter), Jonathan, Joshua, Joseph (Elen) and Kyle (Anna), great grandchildren; Gabriel, Jonas, Solomon, Otto, Henry and Eddy, sister-in-law Alma. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and other relatives. Sylvia married the love of her life Norman in August of 1954. This union produced three amazing children. Although she spent most of her life in the MacNutt and Calder areas, she lived in BC for many years before she made the move back to Saskatchewan. She resided in Queen Elizabeth Court in Yorkton where she made many treasured friends. Health issues forced her to become a resident of the Canora Nursing Home in November of 2018 till her move to Yorkton in January of 2019. Sylvia worked hard all her life doing whatever she had to for her family. She was an amazing cook and loved to garden. She took great pride in her yard where ever she lived. We would tease her to get her scissors out because there was a blade of grass longer than the rest. As per Sylvia's wishes, no funeral service will be held. People are invited to join the family at the graveside for the committal at the Christ Lutheran Cemetery, MacNutt at 1:00 p.m., April 20, 2019 and then to join them for refreshments at the MacNutt Community Centre. In lieu of flowers, Sylvia requested donations to the Cancer Society. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome .com
