It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Teresa Sitko (nee Maciejska), with her children by her side at St. Boniface Hospital. Teresa died on August 20 at the age of 65, after a four year courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
Teresa was born in a small rural village in Poland and immigrated to Canada in 1973. She leaves behind many friends and family from Winnipeg, Montreal, Ontario and Poland. Teresa was a dedicated and loving mom first and foremost. She treasured her children, and especially her role as Babcia. She always made sure to have little treats in her purse because “that’s Babcia’s bag.”
Teresa is the loving mom of Joanne (Naim), Alex and Martin; Babcia (grandma) of Zayd, Kai and Layla. She is survived by her mom, Maria; and brother Jozef, both who are in Poland. She is predeceased by her brother Stanislaw and dad Jan Maciejski of Poland.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 25 at 10:00 am at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard followed by reception.
