Mrs.Struk was our neighbor for many years on Stanley Street. My parents Thomas and Eva Creighton thought the world of Mrs. Struk as did my brother Bill and I. She was a warm and caring woman who loved her family and cared deeply about her friends. Mrs. Struk had a great smile and shared her delicious cookies, baked goods, and flowers freely. I spent many an afternoon is her immaculate kitchen as she told me about her experiences as a child and young woman. I will never forget how she and Mr. Struk turned their home at 109 Ellsworth Avenue into a beautiful residence with their very hard work. They alway had a project in progress. Mrs. Struk did sewing for my family and made my first prom dress. May Mrs. Struk rest in peace. She is in heaven, I am sure.
