Nestor Leona Nestor passed away peacefully at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital on April 12, 2008 at the age of 89 years. Born August 28, 1918 at Hyas, Saskatchewan. She married Bill Nestor in Moose Jaw on June 30, 1940. She was a long time employee at the Providence Hospital and member of St. Vladimir's Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church. It was there she logged in countless hours making perogies and cabbage rolls. Her favorite past-times were dancing, having coffee with friends, playing Bingo, baking and entertaining. Her special passion was tending to her beautiful flower beds and bountiful garden - especially her red poppies that were admired by many and even featured in the Moose Jaw Times Herald. Leona was predeceased by her husband, William (Bill) of 59 years (Dec./99); her son, Raymond (Nov./07); parents: Sam and Annie Keveryga; sisters: Helen Lenych, Mary Reznik, Lily Rapchuk, Pauline Aakre, Nettie Marak, Madeline Prysanki, Olga Wetaski, Pearl Golda and brother, John Keveryga.
