Anastasia Wawryshyn of Toronto passed away peacefully in hospital in her 100th year on November 3, 2006. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother whose strong religious faith and sense of duty towards her community sustained her throughout her long life. Predeceased by her husband Prokip, she leaves behind her son Michael Wawryshyn (Helen), daughter Mary Berketa (Ron) and daughter Anne Wawryshyn; grandchildren Olena Wawryshyn (Oleh Leszczyszyn), Oksana Wawryshyn, Stephanie Dawe (Greg) and Christine Yuzwin (Nick); great-grandsons Matthew and Michael Dawe.
