JAGIELLOWICZ, Genowefa
Genowefa was born in 1932 in southern Poland, which is now part of
Ukraine.
When the Second World War started ,her father enlisted and she was
sent to Siberia with her mother.
From Siberia they both travelled to Kazakhstan and then to Iran.While
travelling from Iran to Kenya,
their ship was hit by a torpedo that failed to explode.Another ship
stayed behind while people were transferred from
the damaged ship to raise the hole above the waterline to repair it.
After repairs, people were transferred back and two ships
steamed without escort. Eventually Genowefa and her mother reached a
camp near Mount Kilimanjaro and stayed until the war ended.
After 1946 she went to England with her mother and was reunited with
her father.
In 1952 she married and in 1954 steamed to Halifax to start a new life
in Canada.
Genny was a passionate cook who liked to experiment with new dishes
and spices.
She enjoyed sharing her skills with others and was delighted when
others had success.
Genny was also talented in needle work, and knitting by hand as well
as machine.
Sincere thanks to all the wonderful people who assisted Genny through
her physical problems, especially in the last 6 months.
The time, energy and compassion made a huge difference in the quality
of her life.
