Obituary of Rev. Edward Yarema
REVEREND FATHER EDWARD YAREMA
1928 -2019
Reverend Father Edward Yarema died peacefully on October 9, 2019 in Sarnia, Ontario at the age of 91 years.
He was ordained a priest on April 28, 1958 by Bishop Isidore Borecky at St. Josaphat Cathedral (Ukrainian Catholic) in Toronto.
He actively served the Toronto Eparchy for 56 years until his retirement in 2014. Father Edward served St. Josaphat Cathedral in Toronto, two parishes in Montreal, a parish in Windsor, Sydney, Hamilton, Port Arthur, in Sydney again, and 27 years in Sarnia from 1987 to 2014.
In 2015 Father Yarema moved to Vision Rest Home where he lived until the Lord called him.
Father Edward was a musician - well known for playing the violin. He played in several bands at many nursing homes and wherever there was need for music.
Father Edward is survived by his sister Dorothy of Coquitlam, BC, and his brother Julian of Camrose, AB, as well as a number of nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Harry and Katherine Yarema, as well as his brothers and sister-in-laws Eugene (Irene) and Peter (Barbara).
A special thank you to all the church members, band members and also his friends for working with Father Yarema while he was serving the church and also in his retirement.
The family also wishes to acknowledge the following for their invaluable support and help during our time of grief: Bishop Stephen Chmilar of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Toronto and Eastern Canada, Father Bohdan Winnicki, pastor of St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Sarnia, Sally Smoly, McKenzie & Blundy and Park Memorial funeral homes, the staff at Bluewater Health, and the numerous visitors who came to be with our brother in his last days.
