In her golden years of life, peacefully passed away in her sleep. Jenny was a vibrant, carefree spirit who was kind to all that knew her. She loved animals, travel, gardening and donating to the slots.
Jenny was born in Hamilton, Ontario. She met her beloved Frank and they spent many years travelling the world and seeing all there was to offer in a life of adventure.
After Frank and her good friend Alice’s passings, she found a new love with John Mykytyshyn and they shared nine wonderful years together.
Jenny was a resident at St. Joseph’s villa in Dundas where she received the best care from the team. The family is very grateful that Jen-Jen was one of their favourites.
Jenny will be remembered by a very special family, Donna, Thomas, Peter, Ross, Linda, Alex, John, Carolyn, Jamie, Matthew, Sam, Benjamin, Julia, Kathy and Steve. She will be greatly missed by her loving niece Sally from Winnipeg and her childhood friend Diane. A special thank you to her longtime care giver Anna.
A panychyda service will take place at Turner Family Funeral Home on Monday October 5th at 10:00am, with graveside service to follow.
May her memory be eternal.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts.

Lots of love to you all
RIP Dear Jenny
So sorry for your loss Donna and the Mykytyshyn family she was so loved by you guys especially Donna.Sending big hugs 🫂
Just one of my favorite aunts. I remember one time I was at a conference in Toronto and Aunty Jenny convinced me to catch a bus to Hamilton. She met me at the bus depot and we only had one little hiccup on our drive to her apartment
….she blew thru a 4 way stop sign….but no cross traffic so we were ok…lol.
Once I got to her place I tripped over 2 huge boxes (like toilet tissue size boxes) at her front door. The boxes were full of sundries (shampoo,deodorant.toothpaste, vitamins ect) I asked what she was doing with those very full boxes. She said she was sending to under privileged in Ukraine. Can not imagine what she paid for shipping
Just a very generous person.
Auntie Jenny,
as she was known to me, was a cousin to my Mom, Irene Bezruki (Rewun).
Jenny and Frank would often visit and stay with us in Edmonton. Auntie Jenny had a great sense of humour and always kept us laughing. Jenny and Frank introduced us to play Euchre and what fun we had. After they went back home out east, we would attempt a game, but being newbies we would often get stuck and give them a call to iron out the dispute. With the time difference, they would receive a call from us at 1 AM. Thank goodness they both had a sense of humour. Euchre is one of my favourite card games and think of her often when we play.
Jenny always came out west to celebrate many special occasions with family.
May your memories bring you comfort.
Hugs to all family and friends.
Rest peacefully Auntie Jenny.

Our deepest sympathy and thanks to the Mykytyshyn Family who have loved and cared for Jenny, and condolences to Frank’s extensive family.
I have fond memories of Jenny and Frank and their many visits to Edmonton. They were a joy to be around and we always looked forward to their visits. Jenny, like my Mom Mary Parada who was her cousin, and I loved to shop. So we did a big shop whenever she came.
Frank and Jenny came to our numerous events and weddings , they came often. In between we kept in touch by phone, and somehow she kept track of us all! It really didn’t feel like long distance!
Jenny was deeply saddened by Frank’s death, it was very difficult for her.
When she found out from me that Gary would be at a work conference in Las Vegas and I was going too, she and her friend Diane joined us. It was a great time shopping and eating out, a great visit!
Most recently Jenny and John, came for our sons wedding. I was so happy for them both and the wonderful companionship they found together. They were so busy helping with monster truck shows, and enjoying life. We went out for breakfast and ran into the Sister Servants of Mary, they all recognized Jenny because of all the volunteer hours and work she actively participated in at the convent in Ancaster. She had a heart of gold! She was genuinely kind! She was joyous and fun, a pleasure to be around. May she Rest In Peace! Вічная пам’ять Вічная пам’ять Вічная пам’ять
Sympathy and blessings to all lucky enough to have known her!
Sandra And Gary leskow and family
A Divine Liturgy will be said for the repose of her soul
