Nicoleta Sowagi

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicoleta Sowagi, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and matriarch, on June 27, 2025, at the age of 91.

Born on January 8, 1934 in Sparta, Nicoleta’s life was a testament to strength, resilience, and enduring love. In 1955, with remarkable courage and determination, she immigrated to Canada on her own to build a better life. On March 11, 1956, she married the love of her life, Gregory, and together they built a warm and welcoming home rooted in family and tradition.

Nicoleta was a devoted mother to her daughter Bessie and son in law Stelios and a cherished grandmother to Demetri (Marina), Gregory and Nicholas (Shanna). She found great joy in her role as great-grandmother to Athena and Noah.

She had a love for knitting, cooking and gardening. Often bringing people together around the kitchen table for delicious home cooked meals. Her strength, gentle wisdom, and unwavering love shaped the lives of those around her and will continue to inspire them through her memory.

Nicoleta leaves behind a lasting legacy of courage, compassion, and family. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
