Passed away peacefully in her home on Friday, August 4, 2017, surrounded by her loving family. Born in the eastern part of Poland, she was a "Sybiraczka", a survivor of the Soviet mass deportations to Siberia.
Devoted wife for 38 years of the late Waclaw, loving mother of Ursula, Elizabeth (John Beresford), Barbara (Robert Willatts), and cherished grandmother of Keenan and Brianna Nocon-Willatts and Erin and Emily Beresford and their families. Much loved sister to Halina (Stanislaw Babinski), and to the late Ryszard (Anna Runcewicz) and the late Danuta (Roman Binek). She was adored and greatly respected by her many nieces and nephews and their families, her late husband’s family in Poland, as well as her friends.
She had a great spirit, a generous heart, and a wonderful sense of humour. Her Courage was an inspiration to us all. Mom, we will remember and love you forever.
