It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Regina Beben on Monday, September 4th,2023 in her 85th year.
Born in Poland on June 26th, 1939, immigrated to Canada in 1983 and has made it her home for the past 40 years. Predeceased by her late husbands Wladyslaw Gasior and Jozef Beben, her son Wesley Gasior and her late brothers Stanley, Henry and Jozef Nowosad all from Poland. She was a cousin to Kathy Morrison, Jean Morrison and Kristin Barker. She was a step-mom to Irene, Helen, Teresa and John and a special friend to late Alwina Gulaj, Maria Schwartz, Janina Krukar, Robert and Rosemary Dziedzic. She has also embraced Alexa, echo show device, as her new friend since her move to the F. J. Davey Home.
She would ask Alexa about the weather, the news, to play polish songs, a movie or, her very favourite,chirping birds and nature sounds which brought her inner peace. She will be forever missed by her daughter Danuta Nemeth, son-in-law Imre Nemeth and the only granddaughter and the apple of her eye Nisha Nemeth. Regina will be remembered by her nieces and nephews and many relatives in Poland. The love she had for her family was deep and unconditional.
The family was her life's purpose and for that we will love and cherish her forever. She also loved to garden and cook and to share her food with family and friends. She created many lifelong and unforgettable memories with her very special friends, Maria and Alwina, with whom she shared a deep friendship that lasted nearly 40 years. She always placed the needs of others before her own and was a kind, caring and a selfless soul. She will also be fondly remembered for her great sense of humor.
Her quick and witty comments and replies brought many good “belly laughs” to those in her company. She was a talented seamstress, worked for March of Dimes as a caregiver, loved to travel and to stay connected with friends but being a grandmother was by far the most fulfilling role in her life. She was the best babcia ever. We are so grateful for having had her in our lives for so many years, for being the pillar of incredible strength, our beacon in times of storms and a teacher of unwavering resilience. We have no doubt that she will continue to watch over us from Heaven.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for the compassionate care provided to our mom over the last couple of years by the healthcare team at the SAH 's multiple departments, the staff of the F.J. Davey Home and of the Paramed Community Care.
