Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sofia Lemeza
(nee Bogdan) on March 21st, 2025 at the age of 94 at the UCC nursing
home.
Predeceased by her loving husband Michal, her parents, and her 4 sisters.
Loving mother to Alexander (Marusia) and Peter (Kimberley), Babstya (or
grandmother) to Stephanie, Tiana, and Michal, and Tyotya Sonia (or Aunt)
to our cousins. She will dearly be missed by her family, extended family,
and friends. Always remembered for her zest for life, her beautiful smile,
and her kindness, warmth, strength, and positive attitude.
Sofia was born in Polissia, Ukraine on August 15th, 1930. During the
Second World War, her family worked on a farm in Germany. After the war,
they settled in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she was a nanny for a doctor’s
children. They moved to Toronto, Canada in the mid 1950’s, where she met
her loving husband of 40 years, Michal. They were proud members of Saint
Volodymyr’s Cathedral on Bathurst St. and helped out and volunteered at
both the church and at Camp Kiev in Oakville. They loved to dance
together at zabavas, weddings, and other functions. Mom loved hosting our
extended family during holidays and special occasions, and was often the
life of the party.
Sofia encouraged us to be respectful, hard-working, and showed us tough
love at times. She encouraged us to remain active, through extracurricular
activities such as Ukrainian school, Sunday school, choirs, sports, and
especially Ukrainian dancing. The wonderful loving times spent with her
grandchildren at her homes and at Lake Simcoe will not be forgotten.
Sofia had a gift for languages and spoke Ukrainian, English, Polish,
German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian, often speaking to our friends in
their mother tongues when at our house
