It is with great sadness we share the news of the peaceful passing of Elzbieta ‘Ela’ Jacewska, at the age of 64, on June 10, 2021, at the Misericordia Hospital in Edmonton, Canada.

I will forever remember Ela as “Pani Mama” Our first encounter was in Mexico and I immediately enjoyed her authentic and honest attitude and her unique sass! It didn’t take long before she gained her nickname. As the week progressed it became a fun game between her and I. Back in Edmonton, I would often see her at Costco and I would always call out “Pani Mama!” to which she always came over for a hug and a chat. I’m grateful to have known her and enjoyed her company! To Janusz and Marta, I wish I could be there to pay my respects and give you each a huge hug! I hope and pray that you both can find peace in your hearts as you grieve the loss of Pani Mama! Marta, I love you times a million and I wish I could be there for you in person! Hopefully it won’t be too long until the next Pani Party and we can all surround you with love! Miss you so much my sweet friend! XO XO

Ela was very kind to me when I transferred from BC to Albert. She was friendly and made me feel comfortable at work. She would let me know if the guys I worked with taught me a good or bad polish word! Lol. She saved me from some embarrassing moments! God Bless Ela.
My deepest sympathy to Janusz and Marta.
Ela has been my parents neighbors for many years.
Ela has been such a kind friend and thoughtful neighbor. Ela would make a dish of food for my parents on many occasions. Ela would visit over the fence with my dad which helped brighten his day.
Ela will be missed and her family are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.
I remember the wonderful chats we had over the neighbourhood fence. As I got to learn more about Ela, I discovered what a kind thoughtful person she was. Ela would even laugh at my Dad’s jokes. Ela’s big heart has left our hearts broken. We are so grateful to have met such a beautiful person.
I only met ELA briefly as my parents’ neighbour but her impact on my life was huge. Her kindness and generosity towards my family – sausages, dessert, perogies – over the fence with laughter were stories I often heard from thousands of miles away. It was a comfort to know such good people were surrounding my parents. We all feel the loss when a bright light like ELA is gone. May you all find comfort in memories of such a loving wife, mother, and friend. In our thoughts and prayers.
