In Celebration of
Maria (Majda) Krampelj (nee Seliskar)
December 12, 1945 -
September 10, 2024
Maria (Majda) Krampelj (nee Seliskar), beloved wife, mother, sister and friend, passed away on September 10, 2024, at Trillium Hospital, after a valiant battle with cancer.
Maria was predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Jozef. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and a passion for gardening and community.
She is survived by 2 devoted sons, Andrew and Michael, who, with unwavering commitment, cared for her throughout her journey. Their support and love were a testament to the strong family bonds that Maria nurtured throughout her life.
Maria is also survived by her siblings: Jernej (Mary Casar), Rudy (Linda Oliver, deceased), Margaret (Lorne Markowitz) and Emily, along with their families, who were an integral part of her life. Her memory will also live on among many members of Jozef’s family, both in Mississauga, and Slovenia, who will miss her dearly.
Maria’s kindness, strength and warmth touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be remembered for her enduring spirit, her love for her family, and her remarkable courage.
A special thank you to the team of nurses and PSWs who helped her sons look after Maria at home, and to Dr. Gupta for all her care and kindness.
A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life and legacy. Friends may call at Turner & Porter “Peel Chapel”, 2180 Hurontario St. (HWY 10 N. of Q.E.W.) on Thursday, September 19, 2024 from 6-8 pm. A Memorial Service will be held in the Chapel on Friday, September 20, 2024 at 11 am. Interment will follow at Assumption Catholic Cemetery, where Maria and Jozef will both be interred.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to either the Mississauga Food Bank, or Trillium Health Partners Foundation in Maria’s honour, continuing her spirit of giving and kindness.
Maria’s legacy of love and resilience will remain in the hearts of her family and friends forever. She will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered.
