SIDOFF, Maruscia Dianne (nee Dolny)
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Maruscia Dianne Dolny Sidoff. Maruscia left us peacefully on Friday, March 11, 2022, in her 86th year. Maruscia was the much loved and devoted partner to her husband Robert (Bobby) Sidoff who predeceased her in 2013.
She will be lovingly remembered by her children Tamara (Raymond) Simmons and Nick (Laura) Sidoff. Cherished Baba of Christian, Sophie, and Christina. Maruscia will be dearly missed by extended family and many friends.
Maruscia was born in Toronto on October 1, 1935, to Mativ (Mike) Dolny (1903-1977) and Evdokia (Eva) Hruszowsky (1903-1988). Her parents immigrated to Canada from Dubivtsi Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine.
Growing up in downtown Toronto, she attended Orde Street Public School and Central Tech High School. She also received an extensive Ukrainian education at St. Volodymyr’s Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral on Bathurst Street.
Upon completion of high school, she did a brief stint working for Bell Canada until she met Bobby on a blind date. Following their marriage in 1956, she “immigrated” to Niagara Falls where they ran Sidoffs Cleaners and Tailors for more than 40 years.
Maruscia had a fabulous life – she always dreamed big. She was charming, intelligent, ambitious, and astute. She loved her family, travel, the esthetics of design and fashion, and current affairs. And, let’s not forget her love of dark chocolate and mashed potatoes. Her essence will forever be in our lives.
Memory Eternal. Вічная пам’ять
