1926 ~ 2013
Peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer, our Lord and Saviour took Walter Proceviat to his eternal home to be reunited with his wife Katherine, on June 12, 2013 at the Pinawa Hospital, at 86 years of age.
Walter leaves to mourn his passing his children: Margaret (Dennis), Kathleen (George), Garry (Joan), and Brian (Bonny); grandchildren: Kevin (Trina), Jerrod, Craig (Kelly), Jennifer (Kris), Steven (Krista), Wesley (Lauren) and Breanne (Derek); great granddaughters: Katelyn and Syenna. Also mourning his passing is one brother Maurice (Evelyn) and sister Olga, and sisters-in-law: Jennie, Elsie and Helen. He leaves many nieces, nephews, numerous friends and acquaintances.
He was preceded in death by his parents John and Mukrina, a daughter Barbara in infancy, wife Katherine and siblings: Mary, Daniel, Kathleen, John, Annie, Michael, Maggie, Nick, Pearl, Nettie, Jessie, and Lena.
Dad was a gentle kind-hearted person, loving his family, his farm and his many, many friends. Farming was his first love, working on the homestead, followed later by establishing his farm near Elma, MB. Dad always made friends wherever he ventured, whether to a family gathering, an auction sale, at the coffee shop, or even just meeting someone on the street. In addition to working the farm, Dad was a well known bus driver in the community (42 years), and also working for the Highways Department.
We would like to thank all our wonderful family, friends, the Pinawa Hospital staff, and everyone who was able to visit Dad in the hospital; we appreciate all your compassionate care and continuing support.
Divine Liturgy will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, June 15 at Holy Cross Ukrainian Catholic Church in Elma. Interment to follow in Parish Cemetery. Prayers will be sung at 7:00 p.m., Friday, June 14 at Sobering Funeral Chapel in Beausejour.
Pallbearers are Walter’s grandsons: Kevin, Jerrod, Craig, Steven, Wesley and Kris. Honorary Pallbearers are granddaughters: Jennifer, Breanne (Derek), Krista, Trina, Kelly, Lauren; and his great granddaughters Katelyn and Syenna.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9, or Holy Cross Ukrainian Catholic Church, General Delivery, Elma, MB R0E 0Z0.
