LYDYNIUK, Madeleine (nee Buniak)

August 5, 1941 – October 6, 2019

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of a loving wife, mother and grandmother, Madeleine, on October 6, 2019 at the Kelowna General Hospital with her loving family by her side.

Madeleine leaves behind her loving husband of 59 years, Harry; her brothers Ben (Grace) and Joe (Lily); her children Sheryl LaTosky (Neal), Wayne (Laura), and Lydia; her precious grandchildren Brooklyn, Kirstyn, Malynda (John), Angela, Junielle, Brandon, and Sandra; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Madeleine was born in Rosthern, SK, to John and Effie Buniak. Madeleine and Harry were married on May 7, 1960, and soon after their adventures landed them in Vancouver, Mica Creek, and Sicamous, BC, then finally residing in Kelowna, BC.

Madeleine loved her flower gardens and enjoyed doing crafts in her spare time. Madeleine held her family and friends close to her heart; she would do anything for them. There is a hole in All Our Hearts that will never be filled again.

A Service will be on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd. Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5V8; interment to follow at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery, 1991 Bernard Avenue. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, www.kidney.ca, or Heart and Stroke Foundation, www.heartandstroke.ca, in Madeleine’s name.

The family would like to give a special thank you to all the Staff in the ICU at Kelowna General Hospital for the wonderful care that Mom received. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

Madeleine's family,

Melody and I were saddened to learn of your loss. Madeleine was always a pleasure to be around with her positive attitude and great smile. She certainly loved her garden and for many years kept us supplied with her home grown walnuts. You will definitely miss her.
