It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Zajac.

Mary is predeceased by her husband, Ivan Stoev and her sister, Nadia Zajac. She will be missed by her family and friends including her sister Helen Kachka and her nieces and nephews: Leah, Adam, Philip, Eric and Isabel.

Mary brought about a positive difference to the world in many ways. She liked to connect with people and was dedicated to helping others. She was involved in her church community and would find opportunities to volunteer whenever possible. She also would have students from all over the world come and live with her as homestays. She will be greatly missed and remembered by all those who she positively impacted.

Mary felt like it was always important to help those in need and as such, the family would ask that in lieu of flowers a donation to a charity be made such as CARE Canada or UNICEF.

A funeral will be held at St. Anthony of Padua Church on April 28 at 11:00 a.m.
