MACHNICKI, Valentine (Stacenko) - With heavy hearts we are saddened to share the news that Valentine passed away September 1, 2021 surrounded by her loving family at St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto.
Val passed away from COVID.
She was fully vaccinated and put up a good fight but with her underlying health conditions of Lupus and Leukemia it proved too much for her body.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Especially her daughter Alana McCarthy, son-in-law Tyrone McCarthy and grandkids Kieran and Riley.
Her son Kris Machnicki and his partner Danielle Corradini.
Her partner of 12 years, Gordon O’Halloran and his children Kenneth O’Halloran, Karey O’Halloran and her partner Manny Maravelias.
She was predeceased in 2008 by her husband Kasey Machnicki.
Val was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1950 to parents Maria and John Stacenko. She also has an older sister Luba Philpott and younger brother Tony Stacenko. The family eventually moved to Canada and settled in downtown Toronto.
Service provided G.H. Hogle Funeral home, Etobicoke on Wednesday September 8th. There will be a visitation and a private service at 2pm.
If you want to show support please get vaccinated and urge those around you who are hesitant to do it too.
It’s immune compromised people like Val who are needlessly suffering from the stronger variants.
Donations can be made in her name to St. Joseph’s Healthcare Centre, Lupus Canada or The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.
