Kathleen Huculak
It is with heavy hearts and incredible sorrow that we announce the passing of our beautiful mother and baba, Kathleen Huculak (nee Shewchuk) on Monday, September 23, 2024, at the age of 90. Kathleen was born in Willingdon, Alberta on June 25, 1934, and resided in Edmonton, Alberta throughout her adult life.
She was pre-deceased by her husband of 42 years, Johnny Huculak in 1998, and lived a full and independent life surrounded by an exceptionally loving network of supportive friends and family. Kathleen’s contagious laughter could fill a room and her generous spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Brian Huculak (Paula Rosson) of Arvada, Colorado; daughter Lee-Ann (Barry) Emment, grandchildren Alesia and Garreth of Calgary, Alberta; and daughter Sherri (Dave) Macki and grandson Ben of Ottawa, Ontario. Kathleen was also a much loved honorary second mother and baba to a circle of extremely close family friends, a treasured aunt to an abundance of family and cherished friend to many, all who will miss her dearly.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert for their compassion and care.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at Trinity Funeral Home (10530-116 Street, NW, Edmonton). You are welcome to join the family for a private viewing from 1pm until 2pm, with the service commencing at 2pm and reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations ‘in memory of Kathleen Huculak’ would be appreciated by the family, supporting the Dalglish 22q deletion program, at UHN Foundation. This organization is near and dear to Kathleen’s heart, as it provides research and outstanding care to patients with 22q microdeletion syndrome including her grandson, Ben.
