Obituary of GLENDA LYLYK

It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Glenda Lylyk, nee Peterson, on July 25, 2013 in Winnipeg at age 64. Glenda leaves to mourn her husband of 33 years Jerry, daughter Christine and son Jonathon of Winnipeg, sister Marilyn and nephew Timothy of Red Rock, Ontario, and nephew Scott (Sandra) and great-nieces Brittney and Nicole of Delta, British Columbia. She will also be sadly missed by her extended family and friends. Glenda was predeceased by her parents, Mabel and John Peterson, and brother-in-law, Gladwin Young. Glenda was raised in Maryfield, Saskatchewan before moving to Winnipeg. After graduation, Glenda worked for Children’s Aid, where she met and married Jerry. For years Jerry and Glenda ran their own store Harvester Fine Foods. With Christine’s arrival, Glenda devoted her time to her family. Her many passions included volunteering, politics, art, and gardening. Glenda knew what was important, and that’s where she put her heart. A gifted artist, she saw and created beauty all around her. A lifelong animal lover, she made a happy home for many wayward pups, the last one, Willie, a joyful white poodle. But always, Glenda’s love of family and friends came first. No matter what we needed or when we needed it, Glenda was there. Gone from us too soon, Glenda’s was a life well led. Services to be held on Wednesday July 25, 2013 at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street at 6:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society.
