SOLTYS, Sylvia Sophie -
At the Rouge Valley Health Centre, Ajax, on August 2, 2004, in her 85th year. Born in Surprise, Saskatchewan, raised on a farm in Scandinavia, Manitoba and finally settling permanently in the Toronto area in the 1960s. Survived by sister Mary Kuchma of Hamilton, Ontario, and predeceased by brothers Mark, Tom, and Joe, and sisters Anne Rodney and Margaret Baraniuk. Loving and cherished aunt and great-aunt to numerous nieces and nephews across the country. Sylvia Sophie Soltys, thoroughly enjoyed a long career in the retail fashion industry that saw her working out of many cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Kingston, Oshawa, Kitchener and Toronto with regular buying trips to European fashion centers. She spent the last thirty five years of her career, prior to her retirement at the age of sixty-seven, with the Fairweather organization before and throughout their ownership by the leading fashion retailing and manufacturing conglomerate of the day, Dylex Limited. Sylvia loved the specialty fashion merchandising business and excelled at it in a time when retail management was a man's domain. She was talented, hardworking and tough. She managed the biggest and the best of the Fairweather stores including the flagship 90 Yonge Street store and developed a reputation for breathing new life into unprofitable or problem stores across the chain. After retirement the irrepressible Miss Soltys joined the Pickering Seniors Club near her home and turned her people skills to charitable ends by volunteering her services with a variety of non-profit or charitable concerns including helping out at the Seniors Club, teaching crafts at the Ballycliffe and Rosebank Lodge seniors' homes, volunteering at the Kumon Learning Centre for children and the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary. She was accepted in to the Pickering/Ajax Lions Club in recent years and through the Lions has worked on many more charitable projects and has knitted and crocheted mitts, toques, scarves and created many other craft items as gifts to needy children at Christmas or for sale by charitable organizations to fill many a Santa's bag. It was a complete surprise to Sylvia when last month, while in the throes of her final medical setback, she received the Citizenship Award of the year by the City of Pickering, for all her efforts for the community in which she lived. Sylvia will be missed by many in the community and will be sorely missed by her family. She was truly one of a kind. Her chair at family gatherings cannot be filled. The latest jokes will go untold. The Corvette she bought new in 1987 at age 68 will be part of the lore. Always positive, always the optimist, always understanding and always available to friends and family and those in need. Should family and friends so desire, donations to the Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, or the Lions Club (Ajax/Pickering), would be greatly appreciated. One of a remarkable generation of Soltys women, each unique, each unforgettable, God bless your soul, Sylvia. Until we meet again...
