Obituary of AUDREY IRENE MELNYK

AUDREY IRENE MELNYK

October 3, 1933- February 1, 2023

We are saddened to announce the passing of our mom Audrey Irene Melnyk on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

Mom was predeceased by our dad Rudy (December 18, 1998), parents Mike and Lena Krymski, in-laws Bill and Carrie Melnyk. She leaves to mourn her passing, daughter Nancy, son-in-law Richard Gacek, grandchildren Robin, Lauren, Carly (Ryan Kit) and Dr. James Gacek; son Bob (Joyce), grandchildren Amanda (Ron Scheppner), Ryan; four great-grandchildren; sister Barbara Burban  (Ajax, Ontario).

Mom and dad met at Hugh John MacDonald Jr. High when dad slid down the banister at break neck speed and knocked her off her feet. It was love at first sight. They were married two months short of forty eights years.

Mom worked for Revenue Canada Taxation Centre, retiring October 1998. After sixty years of living on Inkster Blvd, she resided at River Ridge 1 where she made many new friends.

A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, February 23, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at Atlantic - Garden City United Church, 725 Atlantic Avenue, Winnipeg.  A private family interment will occur at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Heart and Stroke Foundation Manitoba would be appreciated.

We take great comfort knowing that mom and dad are together again, dancing amongst the stars.
