Grandma was a dedicated and wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She had a passion for cooking, sewing, baking, and gardening. She farmed alongside her husband JP on the farm near Allegra. She spent endless hours working on the fields, taking care of her chickens, milking cows, preparing meals, all while taking care of her parents, in-laws and raising three children.

Grandma loved all her grandchildren, great and great-great-grandchildren, she would always brag to her friends about what each of them were doing in life. Grandma was a compassionate, kind, graceful, polite, fun, loving, giving person. She would do anything to help anybody if she knew you or not. In her years in East Gate Lodge, she loved doing the activities in recreation especially BINGO, somehow, she always won and had socks or chocolates to give to April and Kierra. We will miss you grandma tremendously, but we know that your time on earth is done, and you were met at heaven's pearly gates by Dziadziou, Joan, John, and Melodie.

Pallbearers will be Jonathon Babisky, Bradley Shumila, Anthony Smorang, Michael Smorang, Alexander Golembioski, and Brady Babisky.

Thank you to the nurses, health care aides, dietary, and housekeeping staff for the care and compassion while grandma has lived at East Gate.
