With great sadness we announce that Mary passed away suddenly, in the early morning of Sunday, December 1, 2013, at the age of 30. Talented, passionate, generous and always kind, Mary was deeply loved by all who knew her. Mary will always be remembered for her great love of dance and movement and her passion for sharing her gifts through the arts of performance and teaching. Mary will be forever missed by her parents: Barbara and Edward Podgorski; her brothers David (Rezan) and Gregory; her sister Alicja; extended family members and dear friends. May her memory be a blessing. Visitation will take place at the Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville (one block east of Kerr, 905-844-2600) on Thursday from 6-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held 10 a.m. on Friday, December 6, 2013 at St. James Roman Catholic Church, 231 Morden Road, Oakville. Interment to follow at St. Jude's Cemetery.
