Obituary of Sandra Kotyk

Kotyk, Sandra (nee Bennett) - It is with immense sadness that our family announces the passing of our beautiful Sandra, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 52. Sandra was the beloved wife of Gregory for over 24 years, and most devoted and loving mother of Corey, Kyle and Lauren. Sandra's children were her greatest treasure. She was extremely proud of them and joyfully dedicated herself to their well-being and growth. Her legacy will be cherished forever. Sandra also leaves her loving mother Maureen Bennett, brother Tom (Jennifer), sister Maryellen Holmes (Chuck), and brother Edward. She will be sadly missed by her father-in-law Michael, sisters-in-law Cathy, Rachel Delaney (Brian), Lucy Carpenter, brothers-in-law Peter and Paul, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by her father Stanley and mother-in-law Laura. Before her children were born, Sandra was the smiling face that greeted many guests at the front desk of the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara-on-the-Lake for twelve years. In recent years, Sandra brightened the day of thousands of people by cheerfully serving up their morning coffee at the Tim Horton's on Stanley Avenue in Niagara Falls. Sandra's brave spirit was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Her kind and loving soul will live on in us forever. In honour and memory of Sandra, donations may be made to Sandra's Children Education Trust Fund. Sandra's family will receive friends at the George Darte Funeral Home, 585 Carlton Street on Friday from 3-7pm. Cremation has taken place. Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home on Saturday at 11am. Private family inurnment at a later date at Victoria Lawn Cemetery.
