CHRIS SENESHEN

(nee MOROZ)

July 6, 1945 – October 7, 2019

Peacefully, after a courageous battle with cancer, Mom passed away with her family by her side. 

Our mom will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her daughters, Kim Prendergast (PJ) and Kelly Seneshen (Martin); grandchildren Owen, Lucas, Lane, Levi, and Grace; sisters Darlene Moroz and Sandi Kosowan (Rick); brothers in-law Lorne Seneshen (Carole), Ben Blake (Margaret), and sister in-law Gloria Karsin (Grant); and her nieces and nephews.

Mom was predeceased by her loving husband of 51 years, Ivan Seneshen, parents Mike and Helen Moroz, parents in-law Mike and Bella Seneshen and her brother in-law Bill.

Mom and Dad were inseparable and spent their marriage doing everything together.  In retirement they discovered a love of travel and made many happy memories.  Home was in Windsor Park where Mom and Dad spent over 50 years and became close with many great neighbors.   

Mom worked at Canada Safeway for 26 years until her retirement in 2002.  She enjoyed meeting people and chatting with customers, and she formed many life-long friendships.

Mom had a strong commitment to her faith and was an active member in the Catholic Women’s League and St. Bernadette’s Parish.  Mom also belonged to the Red Hat Purple Attire Society and she shared an important bond with these ladies.

Family was everything to Mom and she cherished every moment with her loved ones.  Mom was a dedicated grandmother and was always on the hunt for a special treasure for her grandkids.  She often put the needs of others ahead of her own and Mom taught us that the real value in life is not in what you have but in what you give.  Mom gave us a great example - we are grateful for her endless love, support and guidance.

We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to friends and family for the outpouring of sympathy, friendship and love during Mom’s illness and in recent days.  Mom drew strength from all of you.

A special thank-you to all the dedicated health care professionals who gave great care and support to Mom and our family.   

Flowers are gratefully declined. If desired, donations may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba in Mom’s memory.

Mom will forever be in our hearts.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Bernadette’s Parish, 820 Cottonwood Road on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. officiated by Rev. Fr. Phil Daley.
