Devoted to her beloved Ukrainian community and her faith
By Katherina
DEHAAS,
Sun.,
June 8, 2008
An empty chair marked the place where Helen
WOLODCHENKO would
have sat at a recent gathering to remember the lives lost during
the Ukrainian genocide of 1932-33.
She died in her sleep that week, on May 19, and is sadly missed
by London's Ukrainian community.
WOLODCHENKO was 87.
"We called her the matriarch. When we lost her, when we buried
her, we lost a pillar of our church," said Vivian
KOSCHMANN,
a close family friend whom
WOLODCHENKO called "third daughter."
Known for her involvement in the community and the church,
WOLODCHENKO
was also a legendary fundraiser.
"Her walls were adorned with medals and plaques from city hall,
all tributes paid to her over the years by city hall and the
Ukrainian community," said her daughter, Lena
WOLODCHENKO.
She was the longest-serving president of the women's club at
Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Church, a position she held for
17 years.
Helen WOLODCHENKO also served as the cook at the Ukrainian club
at 247 Adelaide St. S. for many years.
"She did a lot for the community," said
KOSCHMANN.
WOLODCHENKO was a survivor of the Ukrainian genocide of 1932,
a famine imposed by Joseph Stalin's regime.
She came to Canada in 1949 and moved to London a year later when
she heard about the city's small Ukrainian community.
"She was passionate about her homeland and she wanted all her
traditions carried on here and she worked hard to do it,"
KOSCHMANN
said.
WOLODCHENKO was even known to host church services in the basement
of her Clarence Street home, until Holy Trinity was built.
"She was just passionate about her church and her native land,"
KOSCHMANN said.
"She'll be remembered for what she did. I don't think we'll ever
forget her."
WOLODCHENKO is survived by a brother in the Ukraine and many
cousins.
In Canada, she is survived by her three children, Lena
WOLODCHENKO,
Zena EDGAR and Bill
WOLODCHENKO, two grand_sons, two great-grandchildren
and countless Friends.

Ernie grew
up at Jane and Bloor in Toronto, and was raised in a loving and
supportive family. He met Virginia, who would quickly become
his soul mate, while they were students at Humberside Collegiate.
Together they began to form the love and wisdom they would give
to Terry, Andy and Carolyn. Ernie's positive outlook at every
step in life was a great benefit to all he met. An accomplished
principal, teacher, coach and realtor, Ernie's legacy of love,
compassion and understanding will live in each person who had
the privilege of knowing him. Ernie's final good example, a seven-month
fight with lung cancer, will not be forgotten. Family invite
