<div itemprop="description"> <b> Jolan </b> (Jolika) <b> Vozner </b> &ndash; Born 1927 in Budapest, Hungary. <br /> Died suddenly on August 10, 2012 at her home in Stouffville On.. <br /> Forever our Nagyika, sadly missed by her loving family. <br /> <br /> In lieu of flowers kindly consider donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Jolika Vozner died Friday morning at her beloved farm.&nbsp; She was raised in Budapest during the hardships of the depression and war years. In1949 her young life took a sudden turn when she married and with her&nbsp; husband Emanuel spent the next 20 years building their lives and raising a happy family in communist Czechoslovakia. Jolika&nbsp; spent her working years in the Hungarian bookstore in Bratislava, building a close network of loyal friends and coworkers, not an easy task so far away from her homeland. Always an avid reader, her love of books and theatre&nbsp; remained an important anchor in her life.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> In 1968 the Vozner family emigrated to Canada to start a new chapter in life. Jolika, along her husband, threw all their energy into building a new existence No task was too hard, the days had endless hours, all her focus centered on ensuring&nbsp; that her husband and&nbsp; children were thriving. For years she stood as an equal partner to her husband in all endeavors&nbsp; and&nbsp; together they built a&nbsp; successful new life. Steadfastly and with stubborn love she&nbsp; sailed&nbsp; through new and unexpected hardships, she did not give up easily, she did not give up on anyone. <p> &nbsp; </p> She took an active and loving part in the lives of her children, watched with great joy grow up her four beautiful grandchildren and lately her happiest moments were spent admiring the great-grandchildren Audrey and Leah. She became everyone's Nagyi. <p> &nbsp; </p> The &quot;farm&quot;, her country home, became a focal centre for the family to visit, relax, and of course eat enormous amounts of her delicious food. In recent years&nbsp; she never liked to leave the farm, according to her, there was no reason to go away, the world came to her:&nbsp; Everyone&nbsp; brought to her their&nbsp; lives, their&nbsp; stories of success and their pain and she never gave up trying to make a difference. In frail health during the past few years,&nbsp; her caregivers Irma and Magdi, loyal companions of many lonely evenings, assured her continuous comfort in the surrounds of her home to the last hours of her life and the family is most grateful for this. <p> &nbsp; </p> &nbsp;Nagyi&nbsp; will be remembered by family and friends for her compassion,&nbsp; kindness,&nbsp; enveloped in puffs of smoke and slices of libam&aacute;j (goose liver) and for the unconditional&nbsp; love she dispensed to all those close to her. Her memory will be cherished by husband Emanuel, daughter Fedora, son Tibor, son in law George,&nbsp; daughter in law Iole. Adored&nbsp; grandchildren Mark and Daniela, Dan and his wife Tami, Neil and his wife Mady, and Audrey and Leah. &nbsp;</div>
