ISABEL PATRICIA PRAZNIK (GLOWACKI)

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• Nana was a beautiful person inside and out. She was always thinking of others first and had a way of making you feel really special and important. She liked to talk about baking and her children growing up. We enjoyed bringing our children Alicia and Liam to spend time with her. They almost always behaved and it was most likely because Nana had such a calming effect on people. We will cherish our memories we had with her. We are so lucky to have experienced the most loving and caring spirit. She will be fondly remembered. Thinking of you often Nana! Thank you for being you. - Posted by: Kyle and Kerri (Grandchildren) on: Feb 18, 2014

• Isabel was a warm, loving and caring person to those who knew her. She had an amazing memory of people's names and knowledge of their families from the surrounding area. In a way it was a Names Game, in which Isabel would win hands down. This was not just glib, but it was one of the many ways Isabel expressed her interest in others. Years earlier, Isabel loved to cook, bake goodies and review new recipes. Throughout many years, she would share her cooked dishes and delights with others, especially for those who were not able to do so for themselves. Isabel loved and was proud of her family, and kept in regular touch with them. She would provide updates on family members, display their photos proudly, and at the same time she enjoyed meeting new people. Isabel had faced many challenges in her life, but she remained gracious and true. Isabel our Nana, will remain in our hearts. - Posted by: Brenda and Family () on: Feb 17, 2014

• My prayers to the family of dear Isabel: mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and loving person. My memory of her was of a gentle smile and welcoming spirit. My family is connected to the Prazniks and Glowackis by marriage and by a deep abiding sense of friendship and relationship. - Posted by: richard cybulsky (family friend) on: Feb 13, 2014

• To know Isabel, was to love the person she was. She had a wonderful way of making people feel special and was always interested in you and what was going on in your life. She loved her family, her friends and her life. I will miss her sense of humour, her compassion for others, and her huge heart! I will always remember her...with love. - Posted by: Jackie Bakaluk (Friend) on: Feb 12, 2014

• I had the privilege of growing up next door to "Mrs. P". She was a sweet, wonderful lady. As neighbors, we had an open door policy - whenever I would poke my head inside her back door, she would always be in the kitchen - cooking or baking something. I always admired Mrs. P's work ethic and the commitment she had to her family. As kind as Mrs. P was, I do remember her getting quite exasperated at some of the family dog's shenanigans !! I'm going to miss Mrs. P....such a kind soul. Rest peacefully - Posted by: Sandra (Neighbor) on: Feb 11, 2014

• I met Isabel through her son Ron and daughter Wendy. She was my brother's Mother- in- law, grandmother to my nephew. She was a generous, gracious lady, strong, very family oriented. It was an honor and a pleasure to have known her. - Posted by: Cynthia Dawson (Funk) (Friend of family) on: Feb 11, 2014

• Dear Wendy, Ron, Derek, Dean, and Gary; I know how much pain I went through when my own father passed on and can only imagine the grief and pain you all must feel at the passing of your dear mother. Isabel was a very determined and strong person, dedicated to her family. She has passed this gift on to all of you. I see it every day in the way you deal with our own families and the love you show to each other. She was generous, I see that in all of you also. She loved to laugh and to hear a funny joke. Let your grief be tempered by a smile, a funny memory, or a poignant story. Share her love with others and she will remain alive in your hearts and memories. God Bless you and give you special grace to pass through this time of distress. Love, Mary Praznik - Posted by: Mary Praznik (Wife of Dean Praznik, a son of Isabel Praznik) on: Feb 11, 2014

• I met Isabel, my Mother-in-Law at my marriage to Dean. I remember her as a loving and happy person and full of joy at the marriage ceremony. She always told me how happy I had made her on marrying her son. I never heard her complain and I always thought of her as a vibrant woman who loved her family. I will miss her kind words and calls each Sunday. I will always remember her as she saw herself; "straight and strong". She was a calming influence in our home and a very loving mother. We will miss your gentle words and soft voice. God be with you on your journey. - Posted by: Mary Praznik (Wife of Dean Praznik, a son of Isabel Praznik) on: Feb 11, 2014

• Isabel is a very special person, whose spirit and laughter will be missed by many. To her family, we send our sympathies, but we all know that Isabel is very happy now and free to be with many friends and relatives that have passed before her. - Posted by: Michele and Gary Polinuk (family friend) on: Feb 11, 2014
