Olga SEMENIUK Obituary

As a naive young man I took her home economics class to meet girls. She taught me so much more about things that really mattered. To the family We are saddened by your loss of a wonderful woman who taught my wife and I at Harrow High. God bless you .

Dear Stephen, Alice, Mary Ann, Ivan and family,
We were saddened to learning of your mother's passing after her long illness.
She was a very strong and courageous lady. She instilled in her children the importance of education. She set the example by returning to University as an adult. She inspired many of her students to do likewise.
Al joins me in extending our deepest sympathy to the family.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Love, Al and Dian Litster

I went to Amherstburg Public School with Mary Ann Semeniuk and knew her mother to be an excellent woman and send my condolences. God Bless her family.

I remember her as a kind and patient person who made every day a better place for every one that she taught and met. I can still smell the bread baking in her room as I tried to teach French down the hall. She accepted life with all of its challenges with grace and hope. She often spoke of her family of which she was so proud.

My condolences. I knew Olga when she taught at Amherst. I liked and respected her. She certainly left this world a better place.
I am sorry I found out too late for the funeral home visitation.
She was a great lady.

My deepest sympathy to the family, I worked at the Tea Garden quite a while, she was a great inspiration, and think of hre when I am in Amherstburg,will keep the family in my prayera

I have been Mrs. Semeniuk's letter carrier for the past 3 years. We first met at the end of her driveway where she made her daily trek to the road to pick up her newspaper. She introduced herself and told me she was 89 years old. I told her that I would bring her newspaper up with me when I delivered her mail. God Bless her. I can still see her tracks in the snow when she made her way down every morning before I could deliver her mail.
It was a pleasure to help her one morning after a flooding storm and she had no phone service. I checked her lines and called Bell on my cell phone and made it an urgent service call as this was an 90 year old women with a heart condition that lived alone and depended on her phone for help.
When she was out she would make it a point to greet me and ask me about my life. Our encounters we shared will always be a highlight in my letter carrier career. She touched my life!

Such a lovely lady. Such an extraordinary teacher. Her students' lives have been forever enriched. She has left her imprint on my life and I will miss her. My condolences to the family as you begin to heal.

I am saddened by the loss of Mrs. Semeniuk. She was my inspiration as I continued to pursue a teaching career in Family Studies (Home Economics)in Brantford Ontario. I have thought of her often over the years and remembered her caring, compassion, sense of humour and dedication to her students. I can only hope that my former students will someday remember me with the same fondness. My sincere condolences to the family.

My condolences to the family....I have fond memories of this lady ......High school was a better place thanks to her and her humour.

I'm very saddened by the loss of Mrs. Semeniuk. I've had the pleasure of doing her hair for the past few years. She was the most compassionate woman, always asking how myself and my family were doing. She was always so happy when her children and their families came to town. She was very proud of all of her children and grandchildren!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family! She left a huge footprint on me, and on our beautiful town!

A gentle, kind, and caring mother, teacher and colleague. Her ready smile and human touch will be missed by all.

Wonderful woman and teacher! My sincerest sympathies

So sad, she was a beautiful woman and the best teacher you could ever ask for. My prayers to the family

A very nice lady, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mrs. Semenuik was one of my favourite teachers. She was always ready to help and she always encouraged you to do your best. When you thought you had done a good job she would mentor you into doing a GREAT job. I have thought of her many times over the years since High School and many times asked myself " what would Mrs. Semenuik do". She will always be remembered and respected by me. RIP

I remember Mrs Semeniuk well. She was my Home Economics teacher at Harrow High School. Loved her!
Condolences to her family. RIP
