On Monday, August 15th, 2022 it is with great sadness the Stacheruk family lost their matriarch, loving wife, mother, and grandmother.
Leone was an elementary school teacher for over 30 years; most of her career was spent in the Crowsnest Pass, AB. She enjoyed putting on elaborate Christmas concerts, playing piano for Kindergarten graduations, and other school functions.
Giving back to the community was another passion of Leone’s. Being involved in the upgraded Pass Community Pool was one of her many rewarding moments. Her commitment to the community was further evident through her involvement with the Food Bank, the Royal Purple, several sporting organizations, the local Cancer Support Group, and Pool Society.
Above all, Leone loved her family, hosting family dinners, holidays, and time spent with her grandchildren. Precious memories of her will never fade. She will remain forever in our hearts.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband of sixty years, Mike Stacheruk; her three daughters, Michel (Gary) Collings, Terry (Ray) Mahieux, and Susan (Craig Samuel) Stacheruk; her grandchildren, Michael Poxton, Meaghan (Mat) Pounder, Shawn Flannery, Terence (Aubrey) Flannery, Olivia Collings, and Summer and Ryder Stacheruk-Fomradas; her three sisters, Margaret Mazerolle, Marilyn (Herb) Schmunk, and Janice (Joanne) Baker; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her parents, Elsie and James Baker and her grandchildren, Candace Collings and Travis Flannery.
The Memorial Service will be held at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel (13461 – 20 Ave., Blairmore, AB) on Friday, August 19, 2022 at 1:00pm with Rev. Eva Stanley presiding.
