Lilian aka Pinki, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 18th at home of an undiagnosed double pulmonary embolism.
Predeceased by her father Kazimierz (Local 97), Pinki leaves behind a heartbroken mother Florentyna, who just celebrated her 99th birthday and big sister Annette along with family and friends scattered globally in Canada, USA, France and Poland.
At least 95% of Lilian’s working career, if not more, was with George Third and Son. She often spoke of “her people” there.
February 2022 would have had Druhna Pinki celebrating 50 years of ZHP. She leaves behind an even bigger Polish Scouting family who encompass the world.
An avid crafter but especially knitting and sewing. Lilian always had a project on the go.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Pinki was an active member of St. Casimir's Polish Church and she volunteered for numerous Polish organizations including the most recent, as a board of director for the Kopernik Lodge -seniors home here in Vancouver.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly request donations to Kopernik Lodge. www.kopernik-foundation.org
