SADOWSKI, Helena

HELENA SADOWSKI (KORTT) 1933 – 2024 Mrs. Helena Sadowski of Lethbridge, beloved wife of the late Mr. Peter Sadowski, passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness at home on September 25, 2024, at the age of 91 years.
Helen was born February 10, 1933, in Omszary, Poland. She and her family spent the war years in a detention camp in Germany. When the war ended, they were in Polish camps before immigrating to Canada in 1949. They travelled by train from Halifax to Lethbridge before settling in Raymond. She married Peter in 1955 and moved to Lethbridge where she resided until her passing.
Helen and Peter enjoyed travelling to Europe, The Pacific Islands, New Zealand, and Australia.
Helen was a wonderful cook, baker, and homemaker. She lovingly cooked to feed family, friends, and anyone who happened to drop by.
Helen was an avid gardener and maintained the award-winning garden that she and Peter created for years after his untimely passing in 1994.
Besides her faith, Helen’s greatest love was for her immediate and extended family as well as dear friends. She lived for her grandchildren, great grandson and beamed with pride and joy with every visit and milestone. They were all able to give her warm, loving hugs just a short time ago. She was greatly loved and will be sadly missed until we meet again.
Helen is survived by daughter Terry Sunada of Lethbridge; son Robert Sadowski (Linda Spencer) of Brighton, Nova Scotia; granddaughter Danielle Sadowski of Calgary; grandson Barrett Sunada; great grandson Bodhi of Calgary; sister-in-law Anne Kortt; numerous nieces, nephews and their families; as well as cousins from Canada, The United States, and Australia.
Besides her loving husband, Peter Sadowski, Helen was predeceased by her parents Albert and Julianna Kortt; sister Lola Wnek; brothers Watter Kortt and Gus Kortt; and brother-in-law Ted Wnek; and Nephew Richard Wnek.
