« Grandma » passed away quietly at the Ottawa General Hospital on Friday, November 12, 2021, at the age of 86. In our hearts she remains the loving mother of George, mother-in-law of Cindy, and grandma of Benedek, Thomas, Nicholas and Maddie. Going before her were her beloved husband Béla, and in her native Hungary father István, mother Julianna, and sister Irénke.
After a dramatic and daring escape from Hungary in 1956, Magda and Béla started new lives first in Australia, and then Canada. Excellent with numbers, Magda pursued satisfying and respected accounting careers at Sears Canada, Minto, and the V.O.N, eventually retiring to her favourite pastimes – cooking “Who wants more (fill in the blank)!”, family, cottage life and travel.
More about Magda’s life and details for the Memorial Mass will be provided on this page when finalized.
