A farewell of the late Mrs. Maria Stolzman
On 6th December the funeral of Dr Maria Stolzman took place at Powązki - the old cemetery in Warsaw. She died on 26th November, aged 81.
She was a great friend of our foundation. She was a very distinguished scholar, for many years a Member of Polish Parliament (Sejm), and a member of numerous charities, foundations, especially those dedicated to poor rural areas and disabled people. Since 2001 Maria Stolzman was working voluntarily for the Sue Ryder Foundation in Poland, as one of the trustees, a chairperson and lately a honorary chairperson. She managed to create very strong bonds between Sue Ryder Homes. She was a honorary citizen of Chmielnik, Pierzchnica and Starachowice, decorated with many medals and honours. Among her friends she was known as a very strong personality, wise and goodhearted. We miss her so much.
