Obituary of Ludmilla Ragozins

Peacefully, on Sunday, at the age of 93. Beloved wide of the late Feodor Ragozins (1997). Loving mother of Inara Jackson (Ivor Allen) and son Victor (Diane Beaird). Loved by grandchildren Colleen O’Shea (Kevin), Derryck Jackson (Marie-Pierre), Victoria Ragozins and Jason Ragozins (Sarah). Great-grandma (Bubba) to Aidan and Keara O’Shea, Sierra Jackson, Anneliese Montgrain, Austin and Skyla Ragozins. Aunt and Godmother. Arriving from Russia (Latvia) via Germany in 1949, mom and Inara were met by Dad (sponsored in 1948) in London with high hopes of a new life and new opportunities. They quickly got involved with the creation of a Russian Orthodox community and the building of a church. Victor was born in 1951. A small group of family members were sponsored to come and live in Canada. Farming and being in the construction field became a way of life.  Mom always kept the Russian heritage alive by her terrific cooking, stories, arts and crafts, volunteering at the church. No visitation. Funeral service at the WOODLAND CEMETERY CHAPEL, 493 Springbank Drive, will take place on Saturday, September 30, 10 a.m. Interment to follow service at the Russian Orthodox Cemetery.
