Peter Woytkiw of Swan River, passed away at the Personal Care Home on September 22, 2021, at the age of 89 years.

Peter was born and raised in Arran, Saskatchewan. Bill and Anna Woytkiw welcomed their son on June 25, 1932. Peter was educated at the Evadale School.

On November 7, 1970, Peter married Margaret Ann Popoff of the Thunderhill Area, the love of his life.

During Peter’s life he had several occupations from farming, to mining to custom combining. They lived in Thompson, MB, and Oxbow, SK until settling down in Swan River, where he worked for the Town as a laborer, operating the garbage truck, water meters, running the sweeper, and operating the tandem trucks.

Peter’s interest included having coffee with his friends, going hunting, which he loved, to making sure his vehicles were kept immaculately cleaned. He enjoyed the family gatherings and loved to spend time with his grandchildren. They were the apple of his eyes and were so special to him, they brought him great joy.
