BRATUSHESKY, MARY (NEE SCHMIDT)_We are sad to announce the passing of Mary Bratushesky on Sunday, March 30, 2008 at the age of 82. Mary is predeceased by her husband Adolph in 1994; her parents Herman and Rose; her brothers John and Ed; and sister Josephine. She leaves to mourn her sons Jim (Linda), Conrad (Linda), grandchildren Brian and Stacey of Maple Ridge, Wayne (Karen), grandchildren Bryce and Cole; brothers Bill Schmidt, Allan (Pauline) Schmidt; sister Bertha Folstrum; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Mary was born November 3, 1925 in Markinch, SK. She met and married Adolph in 1946. They lived in Manor, SK for a time before moving to Regina. Mary settled into city life and raising her boys. Mary always took great pride in her home and her cooking. You never left hungry. If she wasn't in the kitchen you could always find her in the garden. Mary moved to her north end apartment and became a regular on "Coffee Row" at the Northgate Mall, where we know she will be greatly missed by her friends.
