Helen Theresa Yachyshen
Helen Theresa Yachyshen was born on November 6, 1931 in the Rama District of Saskatchewan. Daughter of Joseph and Doris (nee Doroshenko) Korchinski. Mom grew up on the family farm near Rama and attended schools in the Bellindean District and Rama. In her early adult years she travelled by train to Winnipeg, Toronto, Buffalo and cherished and shared her adventure with all.
On July 15, 1952, Helen was united in marriage to Maurice Yachyshen. Together they started farming and raising a family in the Mainroad District then moved to the Bellindean district and then near Rama. In 1970 the family moved to Yorkton and continued farming.
Mom enjoyed the outdoors and loved the sights and scents that the changing seasons had on the lands.
Mom was a strong woman and when the floods forced her to move she was determined to rebuild and return to the comfort of her home.
Helen’s fondest times were when her household was filled with family, friends, food, music and late night card games.
On March 17, 2018 at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, Mom was at peace and entered eternal rest.
She was predeceased by her husband Maurice, her daughter Alannah (Brenda), her parents Joe and Doris, her brother and sister-in-law, Stan and Marcella and her sister Mary.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Wayne (Ryan and Tiffany), Garnet & Karen (Tyler & Jessica), Donna (Eric & Melissa and Shane & Meagan) James & Cindy and Alannah’s children (Aiden & Eri and Alex), 5 great grandchildren: Ria, Tanner, Gunnar, Jordyn and Mason and her brother, Ed Korchinski.
