Condolences
Maria and I were former colleagues at father Lacombe high school. It was a temporary position for me and she was very helpful in guiding me and helped plan my lessons and was always there with support and advice. Godspeed Maria! I’m sure you will be correcting the angels on their grammar! Sincere condolences to the family, Judy Buzogany
my condolences to the family .My prayers are with you Justin, Nicole and the rest of all of Maria's family( and all extended family)
Maria will be so missed! She taught me English at BOB when I was in Grade 11 and for the last 2 years we have been colleagues at Father Lacombe. She did amazing work with our class valedictorian and helped them craft beautiful speeches. She was so caring and is deeply missed in our school community.
Love and prayers to all her family and friends!
Maria you will be missed. You were an awesome teacher. I worked with Maria at BOB and most recently Summer School 2020. I enjoyed our chats and that you looked forward to your planned vacation to BC as soon as the doors closed at end of July. RIP Maria, you will be missed. :(
Maria was a very thoughtful, kind, loving person. I worked with her at BOB. Whenever I had a student who needed extra support Maria was always there to make sure that the student would succeed in her class. Maria loved her family with every fibre of her being. She was a good friend to many! Maria will be missed.

My deepest sympathies go to Maria's family. She was a remarkable teacher and a lovely person. I was fortunate to meet her during my first years in Canada when I was teaching Maria’s kids in Polish School. She was my inspiration and she motivated me to do my teaching certificate in Canada. She will be missed.
She was a caring and kind teacher and will be missed by all of us who worked with her. My condolences to her family.
Maria (to me she was Mary Ann) and I were childhood friends for many years. We lived 3 doors down from each other and we were always together along with her brother Tom. I have so many great memories I could write forever. We went to St Alphonsus then onto St Francis. We both married husbands from our hometown lol. We both had two children, a boy and a girl and finally both working for Calgary Catholic School District. What would be the chances. I always looked up to Mary Ann and truly cared for her. As our paths separated we finally saw each other at a Italian New Years Eve party years ago. What a wonderful reunion.
My heart is broken my friend to hear of your passing and far too soon. God must have needed another angel. My heartfelt condolences to Mr & Mrs Salata, Tom and especially to your beautiful cherished children.
Love ♥️

My deepest sympathies go to Maria's family. She was a remarkable teacher and a lovely person. I was fortunate to meet her during my first year of teaching and will never forget her dedication and sense of humour. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague. Maria will be sadly missed. She always had enthusiasm and hope for the future despite much adversity. My deepest condolences to her children whom she often lovingly spoke of.
Deepest condolences to Maria’s family and friends. I was absolutely devastated by Maria’s sudden passing. Maria and I spent many sessions as roommates during diploma sessions over the years. I will treasure the memories of her smile and sparkling eyes. Such a kind and generous soul, and I will miss her. Rest In Peace, dear Maria.
I was sorry to hear the passing of Maria. She will be sadly missed by all the students and staff she touched with her gifts and pure heart.
Although I hadn't seen Maria since she worked at Bishop O'Byrne, I can clearly hear her voice and see her face when we'd stop each other for a chat. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her children.
Maria and I worked together at Father Lacombe high school. She was a very kind and thoughtful person. We had many a good laugh in the staff room. Thank you for being a wonderful colleague.
Maria (I called her Maya-she liked that :) and I met in a high school that we worked at. We have been Best Buds for many years. We enjoyed going for walks and going for dinners or movies. She was always kind and generous, especially to her children. She lived for them. Maya also helped her parents often. She had such a funny and strong spirit that brightened so many peoples' lives. She was extremely intelligent and wise - mixed in with a hilarious sense of humour so she was always very interesting to talk to. I loved her independence and strength. Her devotion and sacrifice was so apparent in always providing for her family by working so hard as a teacher for over 30 years.
I will miss you so much Maya, my classy, wonderful, and beautiful friend.
This world will be less without you on it...
Bye Bud, you are still around us everywhere but I hope that you have true peace now.
Love you Always...

Maria was extremely generous and kind. I developed an instant connection with her when I began teaching at Lacombe. She ultimately became my mentor, and I will forever be grateful as I learned so much from her. I will forever cherish our conversations about Hamlet, Gatsby, and other literary works over kawa i ciasteczki. She had the biggest heart as she always was willing to help others and share her knowledge. It was these attributes that made her such a lovely and respected teacher by her students and colleagues. I will miss her immensely. Maria was taken too soon. Składam wyrazy szczerego współczucia dla całej rodziny. Wieczne odpoczywanie, racz Jej dać Panie, a Światłość Wiekuista niechaj Jej świeci wieki wiekow. Amen. Niech odpoczywa w pokoju. Amen.
Rest In Peace Maria
Maria was a wonderful and kind woman. She was a well respected teacher who was always willing to help out when needed and her students and fellow colleagues admired her greatly. She will be deeply missed. My condolences to her family and friends. Taken too soon. Rest In Peace Maria.
