Tanya Shaposhnikov Obituary
She is survived by her husband Igor; her three children, Larisa, Anton and Andrew Pitchko; as well as her granddaughter Masha. She is also survived by her sister Irina.
Tanya was born into a Cossack family in Rostov-On-Don, Russia, where she lived until immigrating to Canada in 1997. After accepting Christ in the early 90's she lived her life devoted to God, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ at all opportunities. She will be forever remembered as a selfless wife and mother who went above and beyond for anyone in need.
Her passion for helping others led to her having a career in Education and Student Services.
In lieu of flowers or other gifts, please make a donation to the Canadian Blood Services.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 7 at 11:00 a.m. at Calvary Community Church.

My heartfelt sympathy to you all. Tanya and I worked together at NAIT only briefly, but I will always remember her for her kindness, grace, inner beauty and incredible spirit. Tanya had a way of lighting up a room with her smile. I will miss her very much. Rest in Peace, Dear Tanya.

My deepest sympathies to the Family. Tanya and I worked together for several years. We shared a lot of laughter and shed some tears and it wasn't uncommon to stop what we were doing to pray together. Tanya was a beauiful person inside and out and had an amazing impact on many peoples lives. She will be missed but I know that she is in a much better place with our Heavenly Father.
