Peacefully at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital while surrounded by the love and prayers of family on Friday afternoon, July 22nd, 2016. Stanislawa “Stella” Jozwiak of Arnprior passed away at the age of 89. Beloved wife of the late Felix Jozwiak (June 18, 2002). Dearly loved and devoted mother of Vera Jozwiak (Wayne Richardson) of Ottawa; Ted (Laurie) of Stittsville; George (Elaine) of Renfrew and John (Jane) of Arnprior. Cherished and proud “Nan” of Jimmy, Stanley (Tracey), Christopher (Ashley Fenning), Eric and Jessica (Jamie Gowland) and “Great-Nan” of Dana and Remi. Predeceased by 2 grandchildren: Judy and Donald Jozwiak. Born in Poland, Stella and her husband Felix and their 3 oldest children immigrated to Canada in 1956. This small family eventually found their way to the beautiful town of Arnprior where many deported European citizens had found refuge, plentiful work and a new life following the second world war. Their fourth child, John was born here. Stella and Felix raised their family in Arnprior and over the years have contributed so much to the social fabric of our community.
