Obituary of Linda Maureen Juliette Tanchak

TANCHAK, Linda M.J.

August 13, 1947 - November 9, 2018

It is with deep sadness the family of Linda Tanchak (nee Combres) announces her passing after a courageous 4 month battle with cancer. She took her last breath with her husband at her side on the day of their 50th wedding anniversary. 

The journey of life was made of many friendships, family times, enjoyable employment, retirement, travel, 40 years in Borden, cottage life at Memorial Lake, Arizona winters and faith.

She is survived by her husband Ken of 50 years; daughter Corinne (Richard) Szwydky and granddaughter Kirsten; son Damon (Brenna), Kim and grandchildren Brayden, Dana and Paige. Linda is also survived by two sisters Ellen Lipinski and Darlene (Richard) Hahn; four brothers Arnold (Marjorie), Bunny (Yvonne), Clifford (Maureen), and Wayne (Norma) Combres; as well as Ken's brothers Ron (Levia) and Alan (Wendy) Tanchak; 22 nieces and nephews and their families.

Linda is predeceased by her parents, Henry and Anne Combres; Ken's parents Joseph and Anne Tanchak; sister Valerie in childhood; brother-in-law Peter Lipinski and nephew Darren Lipinski.

A Prayer Service will be held on Wednesday, November 14 at 7:30 pm at the Saskatoon Funeral Home.  The Celebration of Linda’s Life will take place at the Borden Community Centre on Thursday, November 15 at 2:00 pm. Interment to follow at the Borden Cemetery .
