Magdalena Sterbak

Our beloved mother, Magdalena Sterbak, 84, passed away April 5, 2018. Anyone who knew Magda knows although she was small in stature, she was feisty and fiercely independent. She will be remembered as stubborn and a woman who had no filter. But her family will also miss the baked goods that were constantly made and shared. Magda was passionate about her garden and flowers, all season long beautiful things bloomed in her garden. Her life changed greatly after the loss of her husband, she had to learn how to go on without the love of her life. Despite our grief, Magda’s family will take comfort in the knowledge that they will now be reunited. She was predeceased by her husband Viktor and brother Gerhart. Magda is survived by her children; Silvia and Frank D’Amico, Syracuse, Bella and Dayton Brotzman, Brackney and Peter and Jennifer Sterbak, Baldwinsville, treasured grandchildren; Anthony D’Amico, Jessica D’Amico and Bradley Smith and Brackney Brotzman and great granddaughter, Elise Smith.
