Sandra Jane Otswald (nee Garnett)

Feb 18. 2104

It is with deep sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Sandra (Baba) at 57 years of age, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014. She is predeceased by infant twin sisters Donna and Dianne, father George Garnett and mother Kathleen Garnett.

Sandra will be lovingly remembered by her husband Werner Ostwald, daughter Nycky-jay Vanjecek (Vincent) and grandsons Oliver and baby boy due April 14, 2014, her affectionate dog.

She is survived by brothers Ron Garnett (Marilyn) and Bill Garnett (Ruth), nephews Matthew Garnett and Michael Garnett, sister-in-law Carola Ostwald, Uncle Bill Katarynych (Marlene), Aunt Mary Katarynych and Aunt Sophie Katarynych.

Her life was filled with her love of gardening, sailing and spending time with her little sunshine, Oliver. She carried on her mother's tradition of supplying everyone with Ukrainian specialties from "Baba's kitchen".

The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support and prayers. A Celebration of Life will be held later in the spring, date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be directed to the Canadian Cancer Society or the SPCA.
