Peacefully passed away in her 94th year at home on December 28, 2022. She was with her devoted caregiver’s Magda Lorek and Dominika Klusek. Irene’s family extends sincere thanks to Magda and Dominka for the wonderful care to allow Irene to pass at home as she wished.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Walter (Waclaw) and her siblings Janina Krechowicz, Helen Misztal and Roman Przysiezniak. Fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews and extended relatives in Canada and Europe.

Irene was born in Planta, Poland and along with her family suffered through Russian invasion and refuge status during WWII. She and her siblings were orphaned during the war and endured a long and difficult journey through many countries before uniting with relatives in Toronto, Canada.

In Toronto, Irene enjoyed a long and fulfilling career with Toronto Dominion Bank. She enjoyed family, friends and travel. Amongst family, friends and colleagues, Irene was famously known for her sweet raisin bread (Babka) that she lovingly shared with us.

May she rest in peace.
