Pearl Stella Stefanyk (nee Clark)
January 5, 1928 – February 3, 2023

On Friday, February 3, 2023 Pearl passed away peacefully at the age of 95 years at the Kipnes Centre for Veterans, following a short illness.

Survived by her two children; Marilyn (Rick) and Wendy; three grandchildren, Jamie (Cathy), Darcy and Justin; great granddaughter, Elizabeth; and her brother, Ed.

Pearl was predeceased by her parents, Alex and Anna Clark; husband, Henry “Hank” Stefanyk; brother, Donald Clarke; and son in-laws, Larry and Ernie.

Pearl was born in St. Paul, Alberta, and was raised on the family farm in Waskatenau, Alberta. She attended Mission Hill School in Hollow Lake. Later left the farm and moved to Edmonton to find full time employment. Several years later she met the love of her life and they were married but sadly it was for only a few short years as he passed away in 1972. She never remarried as she always said she would never find anyone as good as Hank was.

She was a hard worker and worked full time throughout her life at many jobs, and retired from Canada West Insurance at the age of 65.

She loved watching hockey (attended Justin’s games for many years cheering him and the team on) and was always rooting for the Oilers (and would comment that they better pull up their socks if they were losing). She enjoyed listening to Country Music, she would sing along, and loved dancing while she was still able to. She had the talent to draw free hand, and was very good at it. She tried all different kinds of hobbies over the years. She played cards with family and friends until her hands could no longer hold the cards.

She had many friends near and far. She was very social and always on the go. She would go for coffee with three different groups every day while she was healthy and still drove. She made friends wherever she went, and always kept in touch with everyone. She was always well put together, getting her hair and nails done, right up to her passing.

She was a very strong willed woman her entire life, and now she is at peace and is without pain. She will be forever in our hearts.

Special thanks to her incredible doctor, Dr. David Fields, and the staff at Kipnes Centre.

Also, to Rebecca at Fountain Garden Funeral Chapel, thank you for everything you do.

There will be no service as per her wishes. Cremation has taken place and she will be laid to rest with her late husband at a later date.
