On Saturday, June 5th, 2021, our beloved mother and Oma, Maria Pakulat,
went home to be with her Saviour, Jesus. Mom entered Heaven in her 78th
year, surrounded by her loving family, due to an unknown heart condition.
She is survived by her son Chris, her son Ron (Lori) and grandchildren Carrie
(Jerney), James, Timothy, Wesley and Samuel, and her sweet daughter
Debbie (Rudi) and grandchildren Kenan, Medina and Merisa, along with her
oldest sister, Lydia, in Poland. Maria was predeceased by our dad, Alfred
Pakulat, in September 2013, and her first grandson Jesse, whom she
cherished deeply, in August 2019.
Mom’s favourite Scripture was Psalm 34 (which she had memorized entirely),
especially verses 1 & 8 “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall
continually be in my mouth. Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is
the man who takes refuge in Him.”
Her grandchildren will always remember her delicious “oma cake”, her
wonderful sense of humour, her generous giving heart, her beautiful smile,
and her personal relationship with Jesus. She loved all her grandchildren
dearly and prayed for them every day. Her children Chris, Ron & Debbie will
always remember her as the “best mom ever” as kids, and well into adult life.
Debbie wrote a beautiful tribute to our mom, that we all know to be a lovely
reflection of who Maria really was:
“Dear Mama,
You are a woman of great strength with a presence of immense humbleness.
Your strength for all things comes from God.
Your wisdom and clarity of life was shared personally.
Your darker times became less so
As God strengthened your spirit, mind, and body.
Your pearls of wisdom will never be forgotten
And the seed of your love is planted deeply.
Such immense love surrounds you.
With deepest love, Debbie”
A private family service was held at 10 am, on June 9th, 2021, with just her
children and grandchildren in attendance. Maria was laid to rest with our dad,
at Elgin Mills Cemetery, in Richmond Hill, ON.
