Doris Krys Obituary

Doris was born in Roblin, Manitoba, Saturday, July 1, 1916, to Pauline and Egnace Osatchuk. In 1936 Doris was united in marriage to Leo Krys in Flin Flon, Manitoba. Doris and Leo moved to The Pas and raised six children. Doris spent many years working on the farm alongside her husband Leo of 57 years. She loved her garden, especially all her favourite vegetables and she loved to look after newborn animals. Doris also worked as a Nurses Aid at St. Anthony’s hospital for approximately 14 years. Doris was a loving mother and took great pride in her children’s accomplishments. She had a great sense of humour and applied it generously to her family. She was a great teacher and taught her children the value of a job well done. Mom worked hard and had many trials and hardships over the earlier years on the farm which included the floods of 1948 and 1954. She was a proud woman and very independent. Mom loved having family gatherings. She loved music and enjoyed her kids singing and playing their musical instruments. Family gatherings were something we all looked forward to. As the families grew, it became too boisterous for the size of the house and the gatherings were eventually banished to the front yard. Doris is survived by her daughters Joanna McKinnon (Jack); Mary Hill (Jim); sons Ernie Krys (Eileen); Bill Krys (Debbie); Larry Krys (Suzanne); son-in-law Bill Krywy; and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Doris is pre-deceased by her husband Leo Krys; brothers Steve, Tony and Frank Osatchuk; sisters Anne Osatchuk and Mary Krywa; daughter Carol Krywy; and grandson John McKinnon. Things will not be the same without Mom. Mom, we love you and miss you. Prayers and visitation were held Friday, June 3, 2011, 7:30 pm at the Chapel of Hemauer Funeral Home, The Pas, Manitoba.
