Alex Sereda

January 14, 1927 – December 21, 2021

Alex Sereda better known to most as Dido, left his earthly home, surrounded by his loving family; to live peacefully with his eternal Father, Wednesday, December 22, 2021, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Dad (Alexander) was born on January 14, 1927 in Hadich, Ukraine to Nikita and Anastasia Sereda. Dad’s family left Ukraine and walked to the Hungarian border and then to Austria and eventually came by ship to Pier 21 in Halifax.

Dad’s family arrived on June 16, 1948 by train to the Lethbridge area. (Dad recalls how there was rain for a week when they arrived and then it dried up and there was no moisture until the snow flew.) Dad bought a farm in Shaughnessy in 1951 with his parents.

On a cold winter day in December of 1955, Alex met Mary Ponomar and the two were engaged on her birthday in 1956 and married October 27 the same year.

Mary and Alex lived in Lethbridge until they were expecting their first child, Leona.

That fall Mom and Dad bought their own farm in the Newlands district west of Kipp.

The family grew; Peter, Zoia, and Irene completed their family. Dad worked at the CPR on steam trains; Sugar Factories in Picture Butte and Taber and was a Power Engineer at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital until his retirement.

In 1964, they moved to the farm in Shaughnessy where they resided until 2004. At that time, Mom and Dad sold the farm and retired to Lethbridge. In 2016, they moved into St. Therese Villa, where he was cared for until his passing.

Alex was pre-deceased by his father, Nikita in 1997, mother, Anastasia, 2010 and great-grand-daughter Cora Kraemer August 2015.

Alex is lovingly survived by wife Mary of 65 years, daughter Leona (Kevin) Kraemer; Jason (Jackie) Jaxon; Kelly (Amber) Sophia; son Peter (Lori) Sereda, Nicholas (Kristie), Westin, Montgomery, Beau; Nathan (Naomi); Nolan (Dannielle) Isabella; Nevin (Charlee); daughter Zoia (Daryl) Schacher, Tanessa (Jared), Holden, Macrae, Payce; Braeson (Natasha); daughter Irene (Gord) Schussler, Jaylene (Lance) Maren, Rhett; Deiryk (Hannah) Hunter, Garrett, Kaleb, Marijka; Clayton (Myriah) and his brother Lloyd Sereda.

Dad was gentle, respected, easy-going, supportive, and filled with love.

We love you dearly and forever.

Many thanks to the staff of St. Therese Villa and Dr. Stitt for their great care of dad over the years.

Due to COVID restrictions, attendance numbers are limited and will be by invite only.
