In Loving Memory: George Karpyshyn – Grace Gardens Funeral Chapel
George Karpyshyn
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much loved Dad, Gedo, Brother, Brother-in-law, Uncle & friend to all. The Oilers didn’t win the cup, and haying isn’t done, but George’s mind and body were tired, and we are sure that Irene was yelling at him to “hurry up and get here”. George was born in the McRae area on July 1st, 1940, and spent the majority of his life in the Spedden area. He married his soulmate, Irene Flondra, in 1963. When she passed in 2019, his life changed.
George is survived by his daughter, Eva (Allen) Preston; & son, Anthony (Jennifer) Karpyshyn; loving grandsons, James (Jenna) Preston, Mathew (Alanna) Preston & Andrew Karpyshyn; great-grandsons, Jack & Hayes Preston. He is also survived by his loving sister, Marion Hadies; brother-in-laws, Peter Goruk, Eddie Jober, Harry Shapka & Peter Flondra (Mary); sister-in-laws, Shirley Mastaler & Grace (Don) Spurgeon; along with many loving nieces & nephews.
