It was On This Day, 40 years ago, in 1975 that my Aunt Mary
passed away. She was one of my Baba’s sisters. I have vague memories of
visiting her when I was little. I used to stay a week in the summer with each
of my grandmothers and Baba and I used to visit her sisters and my
grandfather’s sisters.
Born 10 July 1910, she was the daughter of John Kurenda and
Frances Skrabalek. On a brief side note, I’ve seen Skrabalek spelled various
ways over the years and this one is the one I go with officially since it is
the one my great grandmother Frances appears to have used.
She married Andrew Joseph Sokso. They had three children: Andrew , Frances ,
and William.
Vichnaya Pamyat!
CORRECTION:
I must have been extremely sleepy this morning when I wrote this piece this morning. Aunt Mary passed away on 9 August 1975.
