Patricia Anne Michalewicz
1962- 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Michalewicz, who passed away peacefully on Saturday January 11, 2025, at the age of 62.
Patricia was the beloved only child of her Polish parents, Irene and John (pre-deceased). Born and raised with love and devotion, she grew to become a vibrant, accomplished woman. Patricia attended the University of Waterloo, where she earned a Bachelor of English and actively participated in the Young Liberals, a testament to her energy and passion for life.
Patricia’s career spanned notable roles at the Bank of Nova Scotia and Sun Life Financial. Outside of her professional achievements, Patricia enjoyed travelling to Poland for regular summer trips to visit her dear Uncle Richard, cherishing her connection to her roots.
Patricia had diverse interests including the arts- Drama and Classical Piano, and she always found joy in the companionship of her dog Emmett. Patricia will be remembered for her warmth, intelligence, quick wit and genuine nature.
With cherished memories, Patricia remained in her family home until her recent transition to Sunnyside Long-Term Care Home. Here she made many wonderful friends and embraced life with her characteristic grace and humour, despite her health challenges. Thank you to both the wonderful staff at Sunnyside and her favoured GRT Mobility Plus drivers for their care and kindness.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Benaroia for providing excellent care to Patricia over the past decade, and thanks to Kathy, her caregiver and friend to Patricia in her final years.
Patricia is deeply missed and will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her.
A private celebration of life was held on Monday Jan 20th.
