SOPHIE KOTOWICH (nee CHODYNIECKI) 1920 - 2004 Mom peacefully left us, after a brave struggle with a lingering illness, on November 7, 2004 at the Seven Oaks Hospital, with her daughters at her side. Left to cherish her memory is daughter Lorraine (Grant) Turzak and their children Laura and Grace; daughter Louise (Randy) Sherby and their children Kevin, Leslie and Pamela. Mom is also survived by her sister Helen Meagher of Ontario; and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was predeceased by her husband Ted, whom she had missed dearly; as well as six brothers and sisters. Following her marriage, Mom remained at home, working hard with Ted to provide a good home. She enjoyed cooking for her family and tending her flower gardens. Until her eyesight failed, she loved to crochet and needlepoint, play bingo and read. We will always remember her great sense of humour and all the funny songs. Since 2001, Mom has been a resident of the Middlechurch Home, as she was no longer able to remain in her own home. Mom fully appreciated the kind care she received there and we thank all the wonderful staff at Middlechurch for this. Also, Mom enjoyed her days and all the activities because they were spent with her best friend Betty. They were inseparable. Prayers will be said on Thursday, November 11 at 7:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, November 12 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Teresas Roman Catholic Church, 3597 Main St., with Rev. Msgr. Louis J. McCloskey as celebrant. Interment to follow in Holy Ghost Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Sophies memory to the Middlechurch Home Foundation for the ongoing enhancement of the residents courtyard. Mom enjoyed many peaceful and happy hours there. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
