SANDRA TUREK Obituary
SANDRA "SANDY" ARLENE TUREK 10 December 1940 - 6 July 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sandra "Sandy" Arlene Turek (nee Squires) on 6 July 2025. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba she was the devoted and loving wife of Michael (predeceased), dear sister to Murray (Olga), and loving mother to daughter Kelly (predeceased), son Todd (Patti), and her "adopted child," Robert. Adored grandmother to Tyler and Kurtis (Maddison) and proud great-grandmother to Charlee, Haylee, Tenlee, Elliot and Romie. She also leaves behind her beloved kitty, Libby. Sandy will be missed by many nieces, nephews and dear friends. Sandy married the love of her life, Michael, on Valentine's Day in 1964. Mike and Sandy enjoyed many happy years together at Lac Des Milles Lac during the summer months and during the winter, she loved hosting craft parties with neighbourhood friends. Sandy was passionate about knitting and sewing and made countless items over the years that she donated to local charities. She was involved in knitting and other group activities at Chartwell Isabella Retirement Residence which she thoroughly enjoyed. Sandy's laughter could be heard throughout the building as she spent time with her new found friends. We'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff and doctors at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and Toronto General Hospital. A heartfelt thank you as well to the team at Chartwell Isabella for their exceptional care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held the afternoon of 19 August 2025 at the Slovak Legion, Thunder Bay in honour of both Mike and Sandy. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, the MS Society of Canada or the Thunder Bay District Humane Society would be appreciated by the family.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpler Times Cremation Centre, 575 Central Avenue, Thunder Bay.
