Passed away peacefully on December 11, 2024 at the age of 88. She will be deeply missed by her daughter Angela (Meadows) Kelly and her “favorite” son in law Sean Kelly. She was a proud and loving grandmother of Shannon Kelly and Catherine Kelly who brought her much joy. She loved her visits with them and was very involved in their lives. Dear sister of Peter Lucyshyn and sister-in-law of Brenda Martin of Port Dover. Predeceased by her parents Natalia and Michael Lucyshyn of Lachine, Quebec. Mother to Okcana and Danya Hrushy.
Nadya moved from her birthplace of Lachine Quebec to New Zealand. There, she spent 50 years of her life making fond memories, friendships and a strong church connection. These people became her spiritual family and remained close right up to the end of her life.
Nadya moved back to Canada in her last years and made spiritual connections attending the Southdale Bible Chapel. She brought joy and laughter to her fellow residents and staff at the Meadow Park Long term care home, encouraging them to be positive regardless of circumstances.
Nadya will be remembered as a resilient woman with a fun and outgoing personality, as demonstrated in her photographs.

Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills-
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
The Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you-
The Lord is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm-
He will watch over your life;
The Lord will watch over
your coming and going
Both now and forevermore.

My sympathy on the family’s loss. Nadya was such a character! Shared many a cuddle and a laugh with her. Our faces always lit up when we saw each other and she always made me feel special. Such a beautiful daughter of our Father. Lovely to see the pictures, especially nice to see one of her and Thelma. The angels will be rejoicing. RIP Nadya xx

Dearest Angela, Sean, Shannon and Catherine,
We are so very sorry to hear about Nadya’s passing. May the happy memories you have provide some strength in the days ahead. Your dedication to her care and well being, and your endless love, especially in these last few years, clearly provided her with much comfort and happiness. So happy that Rylan and I got to see her this last August when she was truly her spirited self! You are all in our thoughts. With love, Andy, Dave, Tyler, Liam and Rylan.
I’ll miss my step mother of my youth and who I knew and helped for many years when she lived in Kamo in New Zealand.
Our love and support go out to her daughter Angela, her favorite son-in-law Sean, and her two amazing granddaughters. One thing is for sure: Nadya Anne (Lucyshyn) felt your love and support right up to her very last breath. She was in excellent hands with her Daughter Angela by her side as much as possible. Nadya Anne (Lucyshyn) will be missed by many and will never be forgotten for her undying commitment to family, church, and all of her extended family and friends.
May her spirit live on through her family forever. 💙
Sending love to you all a beautiful lady remembered with love
To Oxcana, Danya, Angela, Sean and family, What a wonderful woman your Mum was. She was an inspiration to all of us in Westminster Road, Wainuiomata. I well remember the late night chats about books and music. She entertained all the neighbourhood kiddies, with tea parties, shows etc. And of course, she was the catalyst for Steve’s conversion to Christianity, and an ongoing support through his journey. She surely lived her faith, and we were the richer for knowing her.
All our love to you, and strength in the days ahead.
Steve and Dianne St Merat.
