BILYK, Margaret With heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother on February 12, 2014 at the age of 88 years in Aylmer (Gatineau), Que. Margaret is survived by her 4 children: Elaine Coutinho (Arthur), Glen Bilyk (Joyce), Lorne Bilyk (Sheryl) and Larry Bilyk (Jennifer); her sister Irene Carbonneau; 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband John; her parents: Oswald and Mary Gutch; her sisters: Rose, Betty, Edna and Esther; and her brothers: Walter and Elmer. Margaret was born in Wyngard, Sask. and grew up in Saskatoon. She married John in 1949 and they raised their 4 children in Prince Albert. In 1969, they moved to Kelowna, where they lived for 42 years. After John's death in 2011, Margaret moved to Aylmer, Quebec and lived with her daughter and family. Margaret loved her family and was self-sacrificing for them. She was very hospitable and everyone loved her cooking. Margaret had a strong faith in Jehovah God for 66 years and studying the Bible with others brought her much joy. The greatest gift that Margaret and John gave to their children was a spiritual heritage. On March 8th at 2:30 p.m. a memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses at 1637 Cyrville Road, Ottawa, Ont.
