Maisie Zawyrucha

So sorry for your loss David. May God give you strength and peace within to continue raising your family and living without Maisie. Love Uncle Tom and Auntie Aggie

Though we drifted apart in recent years, due to distance, Maisie was a funny, smart, intelligent person who loved her family and friends and lit up the room when she walked in. The world is less bright because of her absence.

Maisie! I still can't believe you are gone. Your light shone so very bright! You were the most patient, hardworking, loyal person I have ever known. You always kept a level head even in the most random, hilarious, chaotic situations that McDonald's overnight shift threw at us! Rest easy knowing there are so many people out there whose lives have been made brighter by your sweet spirit!

Maisie. If a thousand words could explain who you were, it wouldn't be enough. You excelled in everything you did. You were my role model.i want to share a story about Maisie. When I was about 13 We went to Vancouver together just the two of us. It was the first time going to a big city without my parents. we wanted to go see the Canucks play, because our family is a devout Canucks family. But Toronto was in town so tickets were very expensive. the internet was very new mind you. We searched this new internet thing looking for tickets. We forked out hundreds of dollars to a random scalper we found on some now forgotten website, hoping the tickets were real. They were and we had an amazing time. I felt safe with you because you always protected me. You let me hang out with your friends. You taught me square roots when I was in grade 4. You played a pivotal role in who I am today. You fought bravely and courageously and it makes me proud to be your brother. I only hope I can be half of who you were. You will forever be in my thoughts. I love you sis. I miss you so very much.

Dear Zawyrucha family, Our deepest sympathy during this incredibly difficult time. Maisie will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her charming and happy personality was truly genuine, and her willingness to always help others was a gift that touched so many lives. The positive energy she brought into every room will leave a huge hole in all of us, and we will forever cherish the memories she created. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your family. We hope you find comfort in the love and support of those around you, and in the beautiful legacy Maisie leaves behind. With heartfelt condolences, Eric and Crystal Van Essen and staff from Countryside Barn.

My dear sweet Maisie.... the story of how I met you and how you came to be part of the LA Chefs family is one of my favorite stories to tell, and honestly one of the most rewarding situations I have had in over 25 years of being and employer and business owner. We were setting up for a wedding at the Legion the night before the wedding, and I noticed a young woman who seemed to be in charge and control of everything. I observed her giving instructions as to who needed to do what, and how to do it. After I watched for a while I knew I had to meet her. I sent and introduced myself and offered her a job on the spot. She didn't accept right away, but a few months later she contacted me and asked if the offer was still good. I said "of course"! So she came to work for us part time, but she was always open about her career goal of working full time in the bank. I understood, but appreciated any time that she could give us. It was a few years before she told us she had been offered her dream job at the bank, and so she told us she was leaving. Of course we were sad to see her go- but we understood and wished her well. Approximately 3-4 years passed, and Maisie reached out to us, and told us that she realized that she actually loved working for LA Chefs more, and missed our work culture and family, and she wondered if we would bring her back. Of course the answer was YES! We hired her back on the spot, and she worked for us up until her recent diagnosis and subsequent health battle. In all my life, I honestly cannot say that I have met a more genuine and kind hearted soul. She was more than this though- she was a dedicated employee who truly valued the relationships she made with her clients and co-workers. Maisie- we miss your beautiful smile, and your kind calm presence, but even in these last couple of days, we FEEL your presence, and we know that you are still with us in spirit, and cheering us on as you always have. I know I speak on behalf of the entire LA Chefs team.... when I say we will ALWAYS honor and cherish the time we had with you.

Dearest Maisie, I love you, I love your soul. You are the most beautiful human to have ever set foot. God wanted you for his very own, knowing you were far too incredible to stay. We truly think of you all our courageous Sinclair family. To Brenda the most incredible mother ever, you're astounding. You're astonishing. Maisie is everything she is because of the love and care you blessed her with. All your children are so blessed to have a mother like you and in this time I am truly sending my deepest condolences to you all. I adore your family and I am so grateful to have spoken with you Maisie. I am so thankful for the times we were able to communicate. I was so overwhelmed by your beautiful nature. You're incredible, you're hardworking, stunning and one of the most special people I've ever known of. Thank you Maisie for the love and compassion you share with everyone you meet. Thank you the most for being the most tenacious and incredible mother to your babies. You're an amazing sister and even more incredible daughter. We love you so much Maisie and I know this is not the end. You will forever be in your loved ones hearts with just a prayer away. Love you so much!! All the way from New Zealand. Arohamai, arohanui. Mauri ora! Moe mai rā Maisie.

Maisie To my great niece, Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. You fought so bravely and with such strength against cancer. Your kindness, generosity, and beautiful spirit touched everyone who knew you. The world is a lesser place without you, but I take comfort in knowing that Grandpa Bill will be there to welcome you with open arms. Rest in peace my sweet girl. You will always be in my heart and thoughts. With love and deepest sympathy, Bev

Reading through all the posts on social media of people sharing their love for you Maisie, was so beautiful. People who knew you a decade ago and more, speaking of their fondness of you and sadness of your passing. You were by far the kindest, strongest, and most gentle person I have ever met. You are light, no doubt about it. We treasure you and will always remember you and will continue to speak of just how lovely you were. See you later

We are very sorry for your loss. Maisie was a kind woman, she always had time for a chat. She will be missed.

Maisie was the sweetest, most caring and genuine person. There are not enough people like Maisie in the world.

Maisie was a truly kind, lovely lady. Our girls were in the same school for a time and she was always such a delight, I'm so sad for Mila and the rest of the family.
