Obituary of Jill Leanne Hayduk

HAYDUK, Jill It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jill Leanne Hayduk on July 21, 2021, following a courageous 2 year battle with cancer. She was 45 years old. Jill is survived by her loving husband Ryan McCallum; children Tyler, Sullivan & EllaMay; mother Valerie (Pius) Schell; brother Travis (Tianna) Schell and their sons Maverick & Porter; father Jerry (Cathi) Hayduk; siblings Trudy (Gus) Borzel and their children Amber, Austin & Abby; Nicole (Rob) Thomson and their sons Lucas & Matthew; Keith (Ashley) Hayduk and their sons Jake & Hunter; Cara (Craig) Huseby and their sons Owen & Seth; along with numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and dear friends. Jill was born in Edmonton, AB and raised in Vegreville, AB surrounded by a large and supportive family. As a young adult, Jill moved to Edmonton to obtain post-secondary education and worked at Blue Cross and Sun Life Financial. Jill loved growing up in a small town and in May 2002, along with husband Ryan McCallum and son Tyler, she moved back to Vegreville to take over her Papa’s original homestead, her favorite place in the world. Jill was an incredibly loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, and aunt. She was passionate, dedicated, driven, and reliable. Between her work as an Educational Assistant to the countless volunteer hours at the school, legion, and 4-H club (to name a few), her impact on the community will be long lasting. We are all so fortunate to have had Jill in our lives and will cherish the love and joy she shared with us. A celebration of Jill’s life will be held at the Vegreville Social Centre on Friday, July 30 at 11:00 am, with life celebrant Yvonne Racine. Cremation has taken place.
