I am so sorry to hear of Nadya’s passing. I have many fond memories of our teaching together at Fallingdale. She was such a kind, patient teacher who always saw the best in her students. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Andrea. Treasure your happy family memories. Helena Majernik

We fondly remember her great art in painting Ukrainian eggs, which we received as a wedding present and they currently sit on our mantle. She had such a calming and friendly presence . Her bravery in battling and living with MS was so inspiring. Our condolences to all of the family.

We are saddened by Nayda’s passing. She will be greatly missed especially at family gatherings. Her words of wisdom and support were always welcomed and valued. One of Michael’s fondests memories of Nayda was the day she lent him her red Acadian to travel to the East Coast, on his first road trip.

I worked with Nadya at Fallingdale School. I remember her as a caring teacher, as a supportive colleague and as someone with a good sense of humour.
My thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

We are very sad to hear of Nadya’s passing. She will be missed by all of us. She will be especially missed by me over Christmas, during the gift stealing game she would usually end up with her favorite decorative snowman.

I am sorry to hear about the death of Nadya and I send my condolences to her lovely family, who she was so proud.
Nadya was teaching for many years at Ellwood Memorial P.S. and I fondly remember working with her on many occasions. She was always upbeat and enjoyed socializing with her husband, Bud. She was creative and not one to give up easily. Rest in peace Nadya. Ken Graham

Nadya’s strength, positivity and determination will always be remembered by me. Nothing could hold Nadya back she always kept her life moving forward. she was truly a remarkable person, step and great grandmother to me and Ruby. She may be gone but the many fond memories and inspirations will always remain. You will be greatly missed

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. McCart. She was my teacher at Ellwood Memorial P.S. for Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2. She was such a kind person and was a wonderful teacher. I remember in later years seeing her at the Bolton MS Walks. My deepest sympathies to her family. Rest in peace Mrs. McCart.

Wish I could be there in person to hug all three of you !
Your Mom was one of the best Mom’s and teacher!
I sat mindfully today to reflect the joy she brought to Ellwood and the many kids she taught !
Her Easter Eggs each year were one of my most memorable memories!
Still have five that I show to my Grandchildren and tell them about your Mom!
I know that Family and all of you were very important and that when she spoke of all of you she did so with great joy!
Stay safe and know she is remembered As a good friend and teacher.

I knew Nadya as a fellow teacher at Ellwood Memorial P.S. Her gentle and caring manner was encouraging to her many lucky students. She was one of several competent, dedicated and experienced teachers whom I looked up to as role models when I started teaching and I feel privileged to have known her. Her love for her family was very evident as well and I extend my sincere condolences to all of you in your loss.

We are so sorry to hear that your mom has passed away. At a time such as this there is little one can do. We hope it helps in some small way to know we are thinking of you. Our deepest sympathy. She will be dearly missed.
Aunt Shirley and the McCart family

It was with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my Aunt Nadya. Some of my fondest memories of time spent with her go back to when I was just a child and we had adjacent cottages on Lake Temagami. That was when I first began to realize what a truly remarkable woman she was. When I got married she gave me one of her amazing hand painted eggs and when my daughter, Gillian, got married I passed it on to her. It is now proudly displayed in Gillian’s dining room hutch. Aunt Nadya was such an inspiration to so many young people and I know she will be sadly missed by everyone whose life she touched. Our sincere condolences to the whole family and especially to Andrea, Stephen and Greg who have lost not only their Mom but also their best friend.

I taught yoga to Nadya for many years in Bolton. She was such an upbeat and kind woman. She spoke so highly of her kids. My heartfelt condolences. She will be missed

I meet Nadya at the Bolton MS Group years ago for Yoga and “swimming”. She welcomed me in and always had a kind word and a twinkle in her eye! We bonded over teaching and our love of books. I had the pleasure of meeting her family at a birthday party that was held for her. She was SO PROUD of all her children and at the time was looking forward to her daugher have her baby. I will remember her with such fondness, she was a wonderful person and will be missed. I am very sorry for your loss.
