Elizabeth "Lizzie" (Chorneychuk) Wiwchar

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Wiwchar (nee: Chorneychuk) was a caring and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, cousin and friend. Lizzie left this world very suddenly on Tuesday June 4th, 2024, at the age of 69.

Liz was born to Stanley and Mary Chorneychuk on Thursday November 11th, 1954. She met the love of her life, Michael “Mike” John Wiwchar at the tender age of 15 ½. In 1970 their wonderful journey together began, recently celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on May 11th, 2024. Together they had three children: Andrea (Conrad), Paul, and Kyle (Megan) and thus started their legacy. Liz was blessed to have had three wonderful grandchildren (her “favorites”): Kirsten (Jared), Colin and the newest addition, Luca.

Liz was predeceased by her father Stanley, mother Mary, Father-in-law John, Mother-in-law Olga, brother Anthony (Tony), and sister-in-law Donna. Other wonderful family members have passed, which Liz always held in her heart and prayers. Liz leaves behind her family and many friends.

If you were one of the fortunate people that have been blessed by knowing her, you will know that Liz was many things. She was the voice of reason, the queen of corny jokes, the smile that warmed your heart and the hug that soothed your soul. Liz gave of herself in many ways and had such a tender heart that made each and every one of us feel like we were the most special one to her.

Liz was strong in her faith and for those of us left behind we need to try to find comfort and solace that she is soaring above the clouds with all of God’s angels.

A celebration of her life will be held on Friday June 21st, 2024, at 1 p.m.  at Eternal Grace Funerals, 1111 Logan Avenue Winnipeg. A reception will follow where we can gather and  share stories and many wonderful memories of her.

It was recently shared with us by her dear friend Betty that a rainbow means “God’s Promise”. The rainbow in the sky will be God’s sign to us as it is the reminder of the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature on earth. Lizzie would not want us to feel sadness and pain, she would want us to come together and embrace one another. On June 21st let us come together in her honor and fill the room with rainbows.
