Obituary

Bill was born May 9, 1936 on the family farm in the Plumas Manitoba district to Gregory and Barbara (Malchuck) Fedorowich. He passed away Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at the Desalaberry District Health Centre, St. Pierre-Jolys, MB.

Bill is survived by his second wife, Miranda Ward, daughter Lynn, daughter Sheri Pegoski (Les), son Jaret Fedorowich (Brenda), step daughters Wanda (Tim) Hovey, Twyla (John) Budz, brother Nick (Helen) Fedorowich, sister Vera Jones, sister-in-law Margaret Fedorowich and 10 loving grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many extended family members.

Bill was a loving husband, dad, grampa, great-grampa and friend to all.

Bill’s first passion was farming. He farmed with his brother Nick for 27 years. After retiring from farming in 1979, he tried his hand at selling farm equipment before settling on, and enjoying immensely, driving a school bus for his second career. He retired the second time in 2004, upon where he spent many wonderful years camping and golfing with his first wife Tina. After his marriage to Miranda they took considerable delight playing their music around the Steinbach and Neepawa communities.

His infectious smile, his personal relationship with the Lord and his “Live Life to the Fullest” attitude made him a pleasure to be around.
