April 26, 1963 – September 1, 2020
Words cannot fully express the sadness that surrounds this announcement of the passing of Natalie Lypka. Natalie was the beloved mother of Celiese Lypka (Mike Evans) and baba (grandmother) of Chase Lypka-Evans. She has left this world too soon and leaves behind many heavy hearts.
Natalie was kind-hearted and caring, strong-willed, passionate, and immensely loyal. Perhaps her greatest trait, although there were many, was that she was never afraid to be herself. She worked hard throughout her life and was determined to overcome any obstacle that came her way. Her best days were filled with family and friends, whom she cherished deeply and who always gave her a tremendous amount of support, especially in her most difficult days these past two years. Her spirit and capacity for love were larger than life and it is of great comfort to know that this, thankfully, is something that time will not be able to erase.
As per her wishes, she has been cremated and there will be no formal service. A celebration of life will be held on the first anniversary of her passing.

Very saddened to hear of Natalies passing. Though our lives drifted apart over the last 8 years or so, I knew Natalie since working with her at Scotiabank in the early 90’s and we shared many life experiences through the 90’s and 2000’s. Celiese I am so very sorry for you loss. Deepest sympathies to you and your family. I’ll always remember how very proud your mom was of you!

I have known Natalie sporadically since we were toddlers and in the Ukrainian community as teenagers and young adults. Recently in the last decade we have reconnected and I was struck by her intelligent, rational and calm approach to problems and situations. She always saw the bright side of things and she never gave up in her struggle in the last few years. My deepest condolences to you Celiese and your daughter Chase. Natalie was a bright beacon light that left this earth too soon. Remembering her always with love, sadness, and a hope to see her again on the other side… Sincerely, Dana Chlysta????
So shocked to read of Natalie’s passing. You probably don’t remember Celiese but we were neighbours in the early 90’s when we lived in the apartment on Sun Valley Drive.You and your Mom would hang out with us and Gwen, Amanda & Sheldon, That was over 20 years ago. Often wondered how you were both doing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

So shocked to read of Natalie’s passing. Celiese, you might not remember but we were neighbours when we lived in the apartment on Sun Valley Drive. You, your Mom and us spent time together with Gwen, Amanda & Sheldon, that was over 20 years ago. I thought of you and your Mom awhile ago and wondered how you were doing. Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time.
