Obituary of Breanna Chekay

On Wednesday, May 6, 2020, loving wife, Breanna Chekay, age 29, passed away at home peacefully following a lengthy battle with breast cancer.

Breanna was born on July 12, 1990 in Regina, Sask. to Alan and Helen Chekay. She received her psychology degree from the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg in 2016. She worked for CNF Marketing, an online retailer, as the operations manager for 11 years. On June 16, 2017, she married Blair Kraushar.

Breanna loved fashion and shopping. She listened to country music and liked dancing to the latest pop song. She loved her dog Harvey and she enjoyed watching movies and being surrounded by her loving friends and family. Breanna always had a smile on and was very easy going. She could always make you laugh with her sass and sarcasm. She was empathetic and a great care giver when you needed it.

Breanna is survived by her loving husband Blair Kraushar, parents Alan and Helen Chekay, sister Richelle Chekay, three sister-in-laws; Lisa Kraushar, Sam Stregger, Paige Stregger, and one brother-in- law; Tanner Stregger; along with niece Madison Orvis, several cousins, aunts, and uncles.

A private family memorial service will be held on Friday, May 22, 2020 at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB at 1:00 p.m.
