With great sadness we announce the death of Emelia (Emilie) Louise Warick at the age of 93. Emilie passed away at Stuart Nechako Manor in Vanderhoof where she lived for the past several years.

Emilie was predeceased by her parents, George and Tekla Yanicki, her sister, Marie, her brother, Walter and his wife Anne, and her beloved husband of 63 years, Joseph Stephen Warick.

Emilie will be sorely missed by her daughter, Janie and husband, George LaBrash (Vanderhoof) and her son, Robert Warick and wife, Dea Freschi (White Rock).

Emilie will also be fondly remembered by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandson. These include Kathleen LaBrash and her daughter Ayla LaBrash and Thomas Turcotte and their son Taven (Vanderhoof); Danny LaBrash (Manitoba); Meghan LaBrash and Brian Parent and their sons Joshua and Jarrett (Vanderhoof); Sara LaBrash and Christoph Sielmann (Vancouver); Rachel Warick (Vancouver); Nadine and Ondrej Havrda and their children Nikka, Alenka, and Kolya (Chilliwack), and their mother and grandmother, Edna Warick (Victoria).

Emilie will also be missed by her special friend, Bob Holmes whose companionship over the past several years brought enormous joy into her life.

“Aunty Emilie” will also be remembered by members of both her siblings’ families and those of her late husband Joe, as well as friends in Vanderhoof, and other communities, including Flin Flon and Snow Lake, Manitoba; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Vernon, BC.

Cremation has taken place at Grace Memorial Funeral Home in Vanderhoof.

A memorial mass was attended by family and friends on January 29. A celebration of Emilie’s life will be held later this year.

Donations in honor of Emilie’s life are invited to be made to the Stuart Nechako Manor 3277 Hospital Road, Vanderhoof, BC, V0J 3A2.
