We Remember

ZUKIWSKY, Susan Alexandra

September 14, 1935 — January 4, 2025

Susan passed away peacefully at the age of 89 years in her residence at Sun Pointe Village in Kelowna, British Columbia.  She was born in Mundare, Alberta, to Nancy and Bill Atamanchuk. Most of Susan’s life was spent in Edmonton, Alberta, where she raised her family, enjoyed time with friends, and worked in the soft drink industry until retirement.

Susan is forever loved and greatly missed by her daughters Karen Eastlake of Edmonton and Deborah (Rick) Laidlaw of Kelowna; four cherished grandchildren: Alexa Eastlake, Bradyn Eastlake, Kristy (Chris) Baxter and Taylor Laidlaw; and great-grandchildren Ruby and Rozlyn Baxter.  Susan will be lovingly remembered by her sister Kathy (Jeff) Walling of Edmonton; nieces Cindy Walling (Ziggy Kirchner) and Sharon Walling; nephew Gary Stepchuk; great-nephews Jared and Justin Holosney; stepson Tracy Zukiwsky; other relatives and friends. Susan was predeceased by her husband Roy Zukiwsky in 2013; her parents; siblings Anne Stepchuk and Edward Atamanchuk; and son-in-law Arthur Eastlake.

We will all remember different moments shared with Mom, Baba or Susan, but her kindness, generosity, and ability to make each of us feel special was a constant.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Sun Pointe Village for their compassionate care of Susan.

A Graveside service and interment will occur at a later date at Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery in Mundare, Alberta.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.

    Susan will always be fondly remembered by both my Mom and myself. Mom and Susan had an instant bond at their residence in Hawthorn Park.
    They were inseparable and enjoyed each others company throughout their days there.
    My Mom suffers with Alzheimer’s and when I told her Susan had passed she broke into tears. 😭
    They are still very much emotional humans that have much to give to us.
    RIP dear Susan.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
