Jadwiga Grygorcewicz

          It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of our Mother, Jadwiga Grygorcewicz, on Friday April 24, 2026 after a short illness, at Woodstock Hospital.  She was in her 86th year.

          Jadwiga was born in Poland to Stefan and Melania Szarkowski on October 8, 1940, and was one of six siblings.  Jadwiga was predeceased by her parents, her husband Kazimierz ‘Ken’ (1996), Terry Bull (2012), her son John (2020), her brother-in-law Eugene (2022), and her siblings Stanislaw, Zofia, Wanda, and Javik.  She is survived by her son Tom Grygorcewicz (Kelly), step grandchildren, step great grandchildren, her brother Witold ‘Walter’, sister-in-law Krystyna, many nieces, nephews, and cousins in Poland, the U.S.A., as well as Canada.  She is also survived by her special friend Shawn Lacasse.

          Mom arrived in Canada in 1958, married in 1959, and started her family in 1960.  Her working career consisted of farm work in the early years, then Harvey Woods, and ending with the Oxford Regional Center.

          We extend many thanks to her recent caregiving PSW’s and the Nurses on 2200 Wing of the Woodstock Hospital.  A special Thank You to Annie and Norm Gereau, we cannot thank you enough for being there!

          Cremation has taken place and a private interment shall take place.
