<div itemprop="description">Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 25, 2015, just 9 days before her 98th birthday. Irena lived a long life defined by her continued optimism, great sense of humor, fierce sense of independence and curiosity. She was equally kind, compassionate and generous. Her positive attitude toward life helped her through personal tragedies, horrors of WWII and the hardship of German labor camps. She was a proud Canadian with a strong Polish heart. She loved travelling, classical music, reading, keeping up with current events (her memory never failing!), as well as watching her favorite figure skating and equestrian sports. She will be missed. Friends may call at the Turner &amp; Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere, east of the Jane Subway, on Monday from 6 &ndash; 9 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Holy Angels Church, 61 Jutland Road, on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 10 a.m. Interment at Park Lawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Heart &amp; Stroke Foundation.</div>
