Anna Marie Prochnicki

Anna Marie Prochnicki (nee Wojtaszynski) passed away peacefully at Innisfree House the evening of Friday, January 3rd, 2025 at the age of 88. 

Anna is survived by her husband of 69 years, Eugeniusz Prochnicki, her children Lydia Zinger (Dave), Frank Prochnicki (Beth) and Stan Prochnicki (Charlene). Grandchildren Alison Zinger, Jeremy Zinger (Raj), Tyler Prochnicki (Jocelyn), Dean Prochnicki (Lindsay), Spencer Prochnicki (Danielle) and Danielle Ringer (Will). Great grandchildren Bella, Emma, Adam, Atticus, Aurelius, Deacon, Bennett, Colton, Paisley, Jacob and Hunter.

Anna was predeceased by her granddaughter Jolan Prochnicki Fortune (Brett), sisters Mary Karges (Steve) and Jane Rausch (Max) and her parents Frank and Katharine Wojtaszynski.

Anna was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was always quick to laugh, witty and good-natured. She was a very stylish woman and no one could tear up the dance floor like Anna and Eugeniusz dancing a polka. She was a fantastic cook and always kept family and friends alike well fed. Anna was a hairdresser for many years giving great hair cuts to her clients and family. Her bountiful garden always supplied us with fresh vegetables every summer. Anna will be truly missed.

The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Innisfree House for their kindness and compassion in Anna’s last few weeks.

If you would like to make a donation in Anna’s memory please consider donating to Innisfree House hospice or to any charity of your choice.

A family celebration will be held at a later date.

A Mass of intention will be held for Anna at Sacred Heart Church, 66 Shanley St. Kitchener on Sunday January 26th during the 10 am Mass.
