Peacefully and with grace, Wanda passed away on April 9, 2016 at the age of 83. Wife of the late Wacław Trejgo, survived by loving daughter Halinka and her husband Waldemar, son Richard and his wife Diana, her grandchildren Tomas, Karoline and Alexander, her sister Jadwiga (Antoni), her nieces and nephews, extended family and friends.
Love and devotion towards her family was unconditional, she was thoughtful to all and always considered others before herself. Her strong Catholic faith sustained her throughout her life which she lived with unwavering strength and integrity.
Wanda (née Załęska) was born in Wilno, Poland (presently in Lithuania) and was the youngest of five children. Following the Second World War the family was forcefully relocated to Poznań, Poland. In 1958 she traveled to Montevideo, Uruguay to visit her brother, and there she met and married her husband. They soon afterwards moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina where their children were born and in 1970 they immigrated to Canada. The rest is history.
Wanda's family would like to express deep gratitude for special caregivers Nina and Krystyna who over the last years were a real blessing to our family. We would also like to sincerely thank the staff at Copernicus Lodge for their care, support and kindness of our Mamusia and Babcia.

In memory of Wanda, if desired, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society or to Copernicus Lodge. God Bless!
