In Celebration of
Stephanie Lee Burka
August 17, 1983 - July 17, 2019
Stephanie was a selfless and kind soul with extraordinary resilience and strength. Some of her favourite moments were spent with her young daughter Olivia whom she cherished so deeply as well as her family and friends. She also had a passion for cooking and gardening which she shared with her Mother and Grandmothers. As a professional, Stephanie did something that she loved and that helped shape the lives of many children as an elementary teacher within the Peel Board of Education.

Treasured granddaughter of Edmund Weselak and Leopolda Burka. Loved daughter-in law of Sylvia Gonsalves and sister-in law of Dash Gonsalves. She is predeceased by her dear nana Maria Weselak and her dido Pawlo Burka.
