Lena Melnyk (Lukianchuk)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother, Lena Melnyk. Lena passed away peacefully at Brandon Hospital on March 16, 2023 at the age of 92.
Lena was born May 24, 1930 and grew up on the farm in Horod, Manitoba. She met her Husband Bill and raised her son Barry in Birtle, Manitoba until 1959, when they decided to move to Brandon. At this time, Bill and Lena opened the Melnyk Beauty and Barber shop on 10th street. Lena enjoyed hair styling and the fellowship that came with this profession. Lena also enjoyed gardening in her large yard, and was devoted to her faith.
Lena was predeceased by her husband Bill, her parents, and all of her siblings. She will be missed by her son Barry; her grandchildren Bill (Shawna), Bryan (Allyson), Blaine (Theresa); and great grandchildren Kaiden, Owen, Ty, Erik, Mya, Morgan, Matthew, Brendan; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
