Lucy Dziadko (Jadko)
In her 92nd year peacefully in her sleep at Trillium Health Centre, Mississauga, Ontario on Saturday, February 19, 2005. Lucy, a recipient of the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award, a teacher and a consultant with the Etobicoke Board of Education spent the majority of her life teaching English to both children and adults. Born in Bolton, England Lucy came to Canada in 1949 with her husband, Stanislaw (Stach), a polish airman who predeceased her. In the 1960s Lucy saw a need for an “English as a second language” program. Using her personality, charm and quick intelligence she persuaded the decision makers at the Etobicoke Board of Education to pilot a program at the elementary school level, which became known as TESOL, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages; a term she felt showed respect to all people. The program continues to this day. After retirement, Lucy established a scholarship fund for those deserving students who wished to pursue post-secondary education. She was, in short, a pioneer in ESL education in Canada. At Lucy’s request there will be no funeral home visitation or service. A celebration of her life will take place in the spring. Lucy will be remembered by all those who knew her as a devoted teacher and a generous friend. She was a tiny lady with an abundance of spunk and spirit. We will all miss the twinkle in her eye, her wit and her ever present sense of humour which was there even as the fog settled in. Those wishing to remember Lucy are asked to please make donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Trillium Health Centre Foundation.
“Thus Nature spake – The work was done-
How soon my Lucy’s race was run!
She died, and left to me
This heath, this calm and quiet scene;
The memory of what has been,
And never more will be.” (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850)
