Obituary of Eunice Grace Brzezicki

Eunice Grace Brzezicki (née Campbell), peacefully on St. Andrew’s Day, November 30th, 2024, in her 100 th year. She outlived her first-born, Michael (d. 1953) and is survived by sons Colin (Diane) and Paul (Gayle), and grandchildren Catherine, Gordon, David, and Evan. Born in Pitlochry, Scotland, she married Stefan Brzezicki (deceased 1996) and emigrated with her family to Canada in 1950.

Very late in life she and Colin were contacted by the Polish family of Stefan’s elder sister, Julia. The Malezskas became a joyous addition to Eunice’s extended family who are happy to have connected in time.

Eunice worked for Bell Telephone (later, Bell Canada) until retirement in 1989. She was a devoted mother and a loyal employee. Her sense of humour was akin to Yogi Berra’s in that it was often unintentional.

“I wish you would speak legibly.”

“There’s nothing wrong with my memory. I just can’t think of his name.”

“On the return flight I was talking with a woman called Emily, and we exchanged names.”

Mum enjoyed travel, mostly in the US and her beloved Scotland. At home she was a keen and tireless gardener. She loved reading, theatre, cinema and music ranging from opera to country. In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to a charity of your choice.

May the wind always be at your back, the sun shine warmly upon your face, the rain fall softly on your fields, and your spirit rest eternally.
