Obituary
Allison Jean Ezbenko (Banghart) passed away peacefully amongst her family and friends after a brief stay at Centrica Rose Arbor Place. She is survived by her children, grandchildren and children-in-spirit. She was preceded in death by her husband Boris, sisters Paula and Diana, and parents Erskane and Arlene. Allison was an exceptionally devoted mother, grandmother, mother-in-spirit and friend. She was most in her glory, tending to or being attended by her many grandchildren. She loved baking and gardening and caring for her ever expanding flowerbeds when she was free from the rigors of critical care nursing at which she excelled for over 40 years. She always provided an open, welcoming home for family and friends to gather at all times of year which she filled with warmth, fun, good food and love. Her soul was compassionate and kind and generous to a fault. She will be deeply missed by all those whose lives she touched.
