Obituary for Emily Luchka

It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Emily Luchka (nee Kyba), following a brief illness on Sunday, March 3, 2019, at the age of 83 years.

Emily will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her son Brian (Cheryl), granddaughters Lauren and Karlene, daughter Sharon (Randy), grandson Glen (Katrusia) and granddaughter Kathryn (Dustin), great-grandsons Brayden and Carter, son Kurt and sister Mary Pochuk.

Emily was born on December 19, 1935, daughter to Alice and Harry Kyba; she grew up with her siblings, Paul, Anne, Mary, Steffie and John in Cooks Creek, Manitoba. She married Edward Luchka in 1958; they built a home in Oakbank, where they raised their 3 beautiful children. Emily and Ed spent 56 wonderful years together, until his passing in 2014. Emily was a generous and caring individual who enjoyed gardening, travelling, baseball and curling. She loved spending time with family and friends, especially her grandchildren, who meant everything to her.

The family would like to thank the St. Boniface Hospital staff for the exceptional care provided to Emily during this difficult time.
