Edith was born July 16, 1961 at St. Pierre Hospital and was raised at the family homestead in Pansy, Manitoba. Edith was a cheerful person, loved to have fun and always had a smile on her face, The last 12 years of her life she spent with the Association for Community Living (ACL) where the caregivers were loving, understanding and passionate towards her. Being Ukrainian, she admired her culture and especially loved Ukrainian music. She admired the things God had created around her, enjoyed life and took pleasure in small things. Her family and the Gospel were the greatest joys of her life. Edith had a soft heart, kind smile, gentle spirit and abundance of love she shared with everyone. She will always be remembered deeply in our hearts, cherished in our souls and forever in our memories. In heaven she will be greeted by her father John Bezditny, sister Sally Petryk, sister-in-law Florence Bezditny, brothers-in-law Don Doyle and Bob Marsh and nephew Nathan Bezditny. Our family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. McCarter and the staff on the 2nd floor (ICU) at St. Boniface Hospital for their loving care and kindness.
