PRISCILLA SERA

PRISCILLA ROSE SERA, beloved wife of the late John Sera Sr., passed away on Friday, April 25, 2008 at the age of 84 years. She leaves to mourn her children; Mary Ann (Paul) Praskach, Rose (Tom) Filgas, Frank Sera, Irene (John) Young and Nancy Marr as well as 13 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Besides her husband, she was predeceased by her parents Bert and Mary Hanusi, her sisters Betty Hirsche and Margaret Pavan and two sons John Sera Jr. and James ‘Jim’ Sera. Priscilla married John Sr. at her father’s homestead in Chin on August 11, 1942. She and John moved to Toronto but due to the illness and death of both her parents, returned only a few months later to take over the Hanusi homestead and raise Betty and Margaret. Priscilla and John never looked back, raising their family and increasing the size of their farm. Priscilla was dedicated to her family and they to her. Through the loving care of her children, she was fortunate enough to reside at the farm until her passing. Priscilla was not one to sit idle. Proof of that was found in the great quantities of home cooked meals and delicious baked goods and the perfectly manicured yard overflowing with various types of flowers, shrubs and trees. As her physical health failed, the time gradually came to be filled with crocheting in her favourite living room chair. May her breath now come easy and her ‘oomf’ return. A private family service was held at Priscilla’s request.
