Obituary of Marjory Berezowsky

Marjory Elizabeth Berezowsky, 84, passed away Wednesday, May 23rd in Saskatoon, SK.

Marj was born July 9, 1933 in Estevan, SK to Harry Archer and Lea Carriere. She was adopted and lovingly raised by John and Margaret (O’Shaughnessy) Gillies in Rosetown, SK. Marj will be missed for her dedication to and love for family, her unwavering and powerful devotion to her husband, and her unparrelled bread-making skills.

She married William (Bill) Ihor Berezowsky on October 6, 1956 in Rosetown, SK. Marj built a welcoming and loving home wherever Bill’s career took them – Prince Albert to Lucky Lake, Swift Current to Saskatoon. Marj ruled the house, raising an active family of six children where she also welcomed family and friends, both new and old. She volunteered actively in the church, and her faith was a pillar of her life. With Bill, she loved to travel across Canada and ventured as far afield as Mexico and England. She passed her love of reading on to all her children. She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

Marj is survived by her children Peggy Lee (Robert Simpson), Jay (Karen Yaseniuk), Heather (Reginald Hickmott), Lisa (Matthew Kelly), Shannon, and Gregory (Carolyn Maloney); her grandchildren, Meaghan, Jason, Courtney, Matthew, Amy, Bethany, Jarrod, Justin, Ciaran, Madeleine, Ellis, William; her great grandchildren Eden, Jack, Owen, Aiden, Rylan, Andrew, Collin, her sister Lucy Fisk, sister-in-law Ev O’Shaughnessy and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Bill (2018), her eldest son, William Gordon; her granddaughter Brittany, and her brothers Del Gillies (Blanche), Gordon O’Shaughnessy and her sister Elaine (Paul Senecal).

There will be a prayer vigil on Monday, May 28th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s Parish, Saskatoon. The funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, May 29th at 10:00 a.m., also at St. Anne’s Parish. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Marj’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.
