Obituary - Vera Love Hope Badiuk

 Vera Love Hope Badiuk 

28 April, 1925 - 10 January, 2026

Vera was born on April 28 1925 in Saskatchewan, to Marco and Katharine Musyj. She was blessed with 100 years of good health and was received into the arms of the Lord on January 10 where she was reunited with her true love George (Predeceased 2006), her husband of 57 years of marriage. Beloved mother to Billy Musyj (late Maureen), Kathy Debokx, Linda Purdie (John Hall), Jerry Badiuk, Bobby Badiuk, Randy Badiuk (Pam) and Tina Hunt (George). Cherished grandmother of 17 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. 

Many will remember her from her many years of hospitality, serving at the Lakeshore Tavern, The Amherst Hotel, Duffy's Tavern and finishing her career at the Anderdon Tavern. 

Family meant everything to HER, weekends and holidays were for family. SHE always had an open door and food on the stove. It was a common practice for anyone that came over to visit, looking to see what was in the pot and grab a perogie or two before she could ask "what can I make for you". She adored spending time with family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved having dinner, "something to eat?" or "I'm buying" were common phrases. 

"You made my day" was what she told people when they came to visit, watch the hockey game with her, and play a good game, or 4, of "31". Even at the age of 100 she had a basket of toys readily available for the little ones who came over, and she LOVED watching the babies play. 

In her younger years she loved her flowers and gardens in the yard. As the years passed, she could no longer tend to them but she loved having her kids care for them, and also used this as an excuse to have dinner. 

In her spare time, she was an avid Bingo enthusiast, and her lucky dabber was never far from reach. Even at the age of 100, she was ready to call out a joyful BINGO!! 

If you met Vera, you loved her! She will be dearly missed by everyone, including her bingo family. 

Thank you to the James H. Sutton Funeral Home, especially Gillian and Amanda for going above and beyond for our Mother and Bupchi.
