Jane was born in Yorkton on September 30, 1938 to William and Anne Oystreck. She grew up on a farm near Rhein and attended Vionne School. Soon after finishing school, she met Bill Chypyha and got married in 1956 and began to raise a family. They moved to Regina for a few years where she for Sears and later moved to Winnipeg where she worked as a banquet server. During this time, a second child was born. In 1963, they decided to move back to the farm where Bill grew up approximately 8 miles south of Veregin. A third child was born shortly after and they continued to farm until 1990. While farming, Jane also worked selling jewellery at home parties and as a baker at Shop-Rite. She began working at the Kamsack Nursing Home in 1989. Jane and her husband bought a house and moved to Kamsack in 1992. She worked until 1998 when she was diagnosed with leukemia. Jane belonged to the Nursing Home Auxiliary and the Cancer care group. Jane was an excellent cook, loved to play cards, tend her garden and throughout the years decorated her walls with many pictures that she had done in cross stitch. Before her illness in 1998, Jane played for the Kamsack Seniors Slow Pitch Team, and enjoyed bowling.
Jane always put her family and friends before herself. She was a woman of deep faith, strength and courage. Despite all of the obstacles that she overcame in her 12- 1/2 year battle with cancer, she never gave up and she never complained. She enjoyed each and every day of her life and brought happiness to those around her.
Jane was predeceased by her husband Bill in 2000, her parents Anne and William, four brothers, Bobby, Steve, George and John and a sister Marie.
She is survived by her three children, Kerry (Glynnis), Brenda Brown (Charles) and Darren (Cindy), five grandchildren, Barry, Kelly, Kimberly, Christopher and Tonika, and seven great-grandchildren.
