Minneord etter Esther (Findagrave):
Esther Romanchuk, of Lethbridge, beloved wife of the late Alexander Romanchuk, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Chinook Regional Hospital, on Thursday, July 25, 2024 at the age of 93 years.
Esther was born July 10, 1931, in Enchant, Alberta the third of nine children to Elias and Ragna Aanestad. At the tender of age of nine years old, Esther's mother tragically died, which eventually led to her becoming the household caregiver or "Mom" to all her younger siblings. Her siblings fondly remember her baking which included Norwegian kumla and lefse. She was also known to "cater" to each one's favourite meal. Esther was known as the household organizer and was deserving of the Mother's Day cards the younger ones made at school.
Esther worked on the family farm until she met Alexander Romanchuk and they eventually married on June 4, 1954. Alex and Esther moved to Lethbridge where Esther found work in local bakeries.
Esther is survived by her five children: Darwin (Karen) Romanchuk; Judy (Ron) Lamane; Jayne (Jerry) Roan; Janice (James) Anton and David (Tracy) Romanchuk; eight grandchildren; four great grandchildren and her sisters: Mina Dunn and Ruby Hachey. Predeceased by her husband, Alex and her siblings: Hanna, Ruth, Edith, Rangvald, Clarence and Edwin.
