Valerie MaryAnn Boyechko passed away suddenly on April 18, 2020 at Health Science Centre, Winnipeg MB. Val will be sadly missed by her husband Lloyd Kulyk, Brother Ken (Rita) Boyechko, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her parents Anne and Bill Boyechko and both sets of grandparents.
Val was born January 6, 1970 and grew up in Winnipeg for most of her life. She was born deaf which was a huge challenge in life but it never stopped her from her passion for Ukrainian music and dancing. Val started to attend every Ukrainian dance Gardenton had which is where she met the love of her life, Lloyd of 22 years and hardly missed a dance since. She also had a love for animals which she had a special bond with, her dogs Tasha and Sheila and cat Tiger. Sheila was very attached to Val and followed her everywhere she went. They were her pride and joy.
Val loved having parties, which her and Lloyd had many. These were not just any kind of parties. There always had to be a live Ukrainian band, lots of Ukrainian food, and many dyboza’s. She also had a love for flowers, plastic or live, her yard was always very decorative. She made cabbage rolls and pickles which she shared with all her friends and family. Valerie will be deeply missed. Chrystos Voskres, Christ is Risen.
There will be no service held at this time and a celebration of her life will be at a later date. Cremation has taken place.
