We Remember

ONYSKO, Hilda

September 2, 1925 — June 8, 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hilda Helen Onysko (née Stefanishyn) on Monday, June 8, 2026. Hilda passed away peacefully in her sleep, as she always wished. We will miss her dearly, but we take comfort knowing she will be well looked after in heaven.

Hilda was born in Angusville, Manitoba, on September 2, 1925, and passed away in her 101st year. She led a faith-filled life; prayer was a daily practice, and she participated in numerous church and religious activities her whole life. She was President of the Catholic Women’s League for many years and was even instrumental in the building of a new church while living for many years in St. Catharines, Ontario. She enjoyed her travelling and her religious pilgrimages to Lourdes, France and Medjugorje, Croatia immensely.

She loved dancing and visiting with friends. Hilda was a wonderful cook and baker and loved inviting friends and relatives over for dinner. She always had a sense of humour and cared about others.

Hilda was predeceased by her husband Nicholas in 1988; as well as by her father Jacob and mother Katie (née Hallendy); her sisters Mary, Elsie, Ann, and Lena, and brothers John, Pete, Mike, Matt, and Charlie.

She is survived by her daughter Marlene and son Gary (Belinda); grandchildren Corey (Eliana), Sherilyn (the late Tyler), Kevin (Laura), Jordan, Liane and Hope; and by great-grandchildren Austin, Madison, Riley, Aspen, and Evelyn.

In Hilda’s memory, her family invites you to offer a comforting prayer in her memory. One of her favorite scripture readings was The Lord is My Shepherd, Psalm 23.

Hilda will be laid to rest with her beloved Nick in Winnipeg at a later date.
