Obituary for Iris Josephine Uhryn

Iris Josephine  Uhryn
Uhryn - Iris, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2018 at the age of 68 at Rosthern Hospital. She was born on January 8, 1950 to Anne and Joseph Sytarchuk. Growing up on the farm west of Wakaw, she shared many fond memories of rescuing animals, riding horses and helping her parents. She married the love of her life, Terry Uhryn on July 17, 1971. She cherished her family Michelle (Steve) Skoworodko (Jackson, Tyler, Noah and Danika); Annette (Brad) Kjargaard (Finn and Hanna); Amanda (Marc) Boutin (Silas, Blaire and Nate). Iris was a hard worker and was along side Terry on the farm. She started work at Wakaw Hospital in 2000 and than worked at Rosthern Hospital. Iris’ desire was to feed everyone and her family was spoiled with her perogies, cinnamon buns and Baba donuts. Iris doted on her grandchildren and a day with Baba meant playing board games, frisbee, sledding, horseback riding, badminton and balloon volleyball. Iris was known to make everlasting friendships. She was a faithful servant of God and made time every day to pray for many. She leaves behind her family, her sisters Mary Omelan and Natalie Hyshka; her brother Marvin Sytarchuk; her mother-in-law Mary Uhryn and her nephews and nieces. Iris was predeceased by her infant sons David and Donny, her parents Anne and Joseph, her brothers-in-law Peter Omelan and Peter Hyshka and her father-in-aw Nick Uhryn. The Prayer Service was held on Sunday, October 14th at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Service on Monday, October 15th at 10:30 am. Both services were held at the St. Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Church at St. Julien with Rev. Fr. Patrick Powalinsky officiating. Interment followed in the St. Mary the Protectress Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Sask Valley Hospital Foundation. The family extends their gratitude to the staff at Rosthern Hospital for their wonderful care. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Marc Blondeau of Kushneryk Funeral Service, Wakaw SK, 306-233-4403.
