KABAROFF – Lida. It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, baba, and great baba, Lida Kabaroff. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Shellbrook Hospital on March 15, 2013 at the age of 93 years. Mom was born on July 1, 1919 in the Riverhill (Spasovka) District of Blaine Lake. She is survived by her son, Walter (Sharon); daughter, Audrey (Gerald Michayluk); 6 grandchildren, Kevin Kabaroff (Kim Hay), Darcy Kabaroff, Angela (Heath McCrindle), Russ (Nova) Michayluk, Randy Kunitz, Sandy (Darryl) Campbell; seven great grandchildren, Travis and Jordan Campbell, Cody and Cassie Kabaroff, Bryce and Kenzie Lida McCrindle and Parker Michayluk; her twin sister, Alice Maloff; sister-in-law, Marge (Joe) Kanigan; and numerous precious nieces and nephews. Mom was predeceased by dad (Nick); two sons, Kenny and Harvey; her parents, John and Agatha Podovelnikoff; sisters, Florence Moffat, Pauline Makaroff, Agatha Podovelnikoff and Vera Podovelnikoff; brother, John Podovelnikoff in infancy. Mom enjoyed gardening, knitting, and making a great pot of borscht, roasters of plove and trays of pyrohe that many family and friends enjoyed. Mom also enjoyed the lapsha making times in the Doukhobor Prayer Home with her many friends. Mom was active and had a great sense of humour right to the last days and kept us in laughter with her comments. Mom was devoted to her home and farm community by being the secretary-treasurer of the Riverhill Cemetery Restoration Society for over 40 years. As per Mom's request, cremation has taken place and she will be laid to rest with Dad at Riverhill Cemetery. A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 11:00 AM at the Blaine Lake Community Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Riverhill Restoration Society or a charity of the donor's choice. A special thanks to all for the care, concerns, compassion, flowers, cards in Mom's final days and also to the excellent doctors, nurses at St. Paul's and Shellbrook Hospitals.
