It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Priscilla Kay Ballard (née Fedorak) on September 4 2016, at Thunder Bay Regional Health and Science Centre with her children and sister by her side.
She born August 4, 1967 to Zorro and Carolyn Fedorak. She lived in Fort Frances most her life where her friends knew her as a hardworking waitress and loving mother. She had a passion for music in her life and always had a good tune blaring, especially when she was getting ready to go out on the town. Priscilla also lived in Atikokan, Ontario for many years, and most recently worked at the Atikokan Hotel. She made many friends in Atikokan and always had a big smile to greet her customers and fellow staff every day.
Priscilla was a giver. She gave to those who needed even if she was without herself. She loved animals and always took in stray cats from the dump or any animal that was lucky enough to make it to her doorstep. She loved life and just enjoying it with the company of friends and family around her.
One of Priscilla’s most valuable accomplishments were her five children. She was one to go without so her children could have more than they needed, whether it was another new top for the girls or new duvet for Tana. She always made sure her children had money in their pockets.
Priscilla leaves behind her sons Joseph Fedorak, Logan Ballard, daughters Tana Ballard, Taylor Steele, and Chandlor Steele, granddaughter Sarah Fedorak, and her loving dogs Ava and Jane.
She was predeceased by her sister Crystal Fedorak, cousin Susan Fedorak and father Zorro Fedorak. Also surviving are her grandmother Lela Ballard, mother Carolyn Fedorak, sister Petrina Carlson, and niece Chelsea Carlson.
A celebration of Priscilla’s life was held September 9 at Green Funeral Home, Fort Frances, with Pastor Sean Ward officiating. Honourary pallbearers were Calvin Morrisseau, Galen Lemieux, Patrick Lemieux, Jordan Marsh, Joe Johnson, Brian Lethbridge, Brittney Smith, and Peggy Atatise.
If friends so desire in memoriam donations may be made to the Tamarack House. 984 Oliver Road, Thunder Bay, Ontario, P7B 7C7. Online condolences may be made in care of www.GreenFuneralHomeFortFrances.com.
