We Remember

LUKENCHUK, Roseland

November 2, 1930 — November 9, 2022

It is with great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Roseland Lukenchuk shortly after her 92nd birthday.

Roseland was born in Shepenge, Alberta, and moved to Edmonton in 1945 where she met her future husband, Joseph, who was at the University of Alberta Faculty of Dentistry. Roseland achieved high marks throughout her schooling and after graduating from business college worked at an insurance company where she quickly was promoted to a senior position.

Roseland and Joseph married in 1951 and moved to Two Hills in 1952, where Joseph established his first dental practice. They were immediately warmly welcomed by the local residents and made many lifelong friends. Roseland was very involved in community and church activities. She loved entertaining and her Two Hills parties are legendary.

They moved to Vegreville in 1966, to Edmonton in 1968, and to Kelowna in 1979. Everywhere, they made many cherished friends.

Roseland loved following the news and politics, as well as travelling, especially to Mexico in later years.

Roseland’s house was very important to her, and displays her extensive collections of plates, ornaments, Ukrainian Easter eggs, and fine furniture.

Roseland was an accomplished curler, passionate gardener, and wonderful cook. Christmas and Easter dinners were always delicious feasts of traditional Ukrainian dishes. Above all, Roseland’s family was most important to her, and we will sorely miss her.

Roseland will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 71 years, Joseph; their daughters Kerry (Harry) Tomyn and Maureen (John) Conlon; and grandchildren Brittany and Jonathon. Roseland’s memory will also be cherished by her sister-in-law Elsie (Andy) Johnson; brothers-in-law Ernie Cote and Fred Peetz; numerous nieces and nephews; and many dear friends.

Roseland suffered with chronic osteoarthritic pain for many years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Roseland’s name to the Arthritis Society of Canada, www.arthritis.ca, or to a Charity of your Choice.

A Service will be held on Friday, November 18, 2022, at 10:00 AM (PST) at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5V8.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
