Lena Leoppky
(June 29, 1917 – October 4, 2011)

It is with great sadness the family announces the death of Lena Leoppky which occurred at the Herb Bassett Nursing Home on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at the age of 94.

Lena was predeceased by her parents John Bodnar and Pearl (nee Romanchych); her husband John Leoppky in 2006; her brothers Nick, Paul, Mike and Steve; her brother-in-law Wilf Epp. Lena is survived by her sisters Marie (Walter) Koziel and Anne Epp; her sisters-in-law Beatrice Bodnar, Olga Bodnar and Pauline Bodnar as well as numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Lena was born on June 29, 1917 and raised in the Meacham district of Saskatchewan. She married John in Prince Albert on November 8, 1940. She worked in the dry cleaning industry. Lena was warm hearted and enjoyed the company of family and friends. She was an avid shopper and always had an eye out for a bargain. Lena seldom missed buying lottery tickets. Lena and John enjoyed vacationing in Western Canada and the United States. Lena had a good sense of humor and a pleasant disposition. She took pride in her appearance and dressed well.

At the age of 92 Lena moved in Liza’s Personal Care Home and developed new friendships with Bea, Dolly and Maria. She enjoyed getting together with them and having her nails painted or hair curled. Lena later moved to the Herb Bassett Nursing Home because of hip injuries. She remained polite and pleasant although frustrated by her lack of mobility. Lena will remain in our hearts and spirits always.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 8 from River Park Memorial Chapel. Father Ivan Nahachewsky will officiate. Interment will take place in the Garden of Sermon on the Mount, Prince Albert Memorial Gardens.

Family and friends may send email condolences to www.riverparkfuneral.ca. It is the family’s request that those wishing to place memorials may do so to the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Bev Davis, the nurses of the 6th floor at the Victoria Hospital and the Herb Bassett Nursing Home, Lakeland Trial for the excellent care and compassion they gave to Lena.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of Colette Kadziolka and Louise Robert, Funeral Directors.
