FRANCES OLEJNIK Obituary
OLEJNIK, FRANCES We are devastated to announce the sudden passing of our dear mother May 1, 2019. She died of a broken heart after losing her spouse, Walter, of 62 years just 10 weeks prior. Frances was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother who always made her family priority number one. Great meals and an inviting home were her pride and joy. She exuded warmth and kindness to everyone she met. Mom emigrated from Scotland in her early 20s. She met her husband here and together they raised their 5 children in Toronto. Our home was always a place where friends and family were welcome. When she went back to work, she had a wonderful 25-year career at Malvern Collegiate, where she was dearly loved by the students and staff. She leaves a big hole in the hearts of her children, Michael (Suzanne), John (Tina), James (Barb), Jeff (Kelley) and Michelle (Paul), and her 9 grandchildren, who she was very proud of. Her hugs, homemade cookies and chocolates will be greatly missed by all! The family will be holding a private ceremony. Thank you to all for your kind words, cards and condolences.

Fran was such a bright light during my time at Malvern CI (1975 - 2011). Her smile lit up every room. She always had a story or a bit of news or just simply passed on a compliment that made you feel special. When she retired, she made me a garland of eucalyptus branches with white flowers in the centre and a white ribbon. It hung in my bathroom for years until I remodelled it. That was Fran. She was retiring yet she was giving the gifts. She herself was a gift to all that knew her.
My sympathies to all the family. May all the wonderful memories help you through this difficult time.
