Martha Irene Kwapisinski

October 10, 1947 – March 8, 2025

It is with deep sadness and heartfelt love that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Martha Kwapisinski,
on March 8, 2025, at the age of 77. Though her departure came unexpectedly, we take comfort in knowing she did not
suffer and left us peacefully, surrounded by the love she gave so freely to all.

Martha was born to Andrew and Rita Pitula in Pfarrkirchen, Germany, and was raised in the vibrant Beaches
neighborhood of Toronto. She graduated from Malvern Collegiate and later attended Victoria College at the University
of Toronto, where she earned her degree. Martha had a fulfilling and dedicated career as a teacher with the
Durham Catholic District School Board, touching the lives of countless students with her warmth and caring.

Along with her passion for education, Martha was deeply involved in the local Ukrainian community, always giving
of herself to support others. She loved the peaceful escape of the cottage her father built in Grafton, where she
spent many happy days feeding and entertaining loved ones. The cottage was her sanctuary, a place where she
created countless memories with those she cherished. She also found great joy in tending to her beautiful garden,
where she planted flowers to her heart’s content.

To Martha, family was everything. She was the heart of our family—a loving mother to Andrew, Sonia, and Natasha,
and an adoring Gramma to Sami, Emma, Emerson, Harrison, and Mia. Her joy was found in the laughter and love of
her children and grandchildren. Known for her playful spirit, she often engaged with her children’s friends in
the most joyful and fun-loving ways. Martha always had a kind word, an open ear, and a smile that would light up any room.

Her light-hearted humor, gentle heart, and infectious laughter will forever be remembered by all who knew her.

We sadly announce that Frieda Lisowski passed peacefully at Orchard Villa Long-Term Care Center on March 11, 2025, at the age of 95.
She has now gone to be with her beloved husband, Stanley, with whom she shared many loving years.

Frieda was the loving mother to Lorene. Beloved grandmother to Santana (Stephen), Krystle, and Chantelle.
She was the cherished great-grandmother to Olivia, Landen, Ryker, Wolfe, Izabella, and Jermaine.

She moved to Canada in 1956, not speaking the language, but her determination and strong work ethic
allowed her to build a life for herself and proudly provide for her family. Over the years, she became
known for her resilience, always giving her best in everything she did. She cherished vacations in Barbados,
where she could relax and unwind, and Las Vegas, where she enjoyed the thrill of the slot machines.
Her garden was a source of pride, a reflection of her care and dedication, and she kept her home spotless, always striving for perfection.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at Orchard Villa for their unwavering
compassion and support throughout this challenging time. Your kindness made all the difference.
