CITY LOSES ‘AMAZING WOMAN’ RICK KUPCHUK
Surrey lost a prominent benefactor last week. Marilyn Stewart died Friday (Oct 24) after a brief illness at the age of 78. Stewart was the driving force behind the Czorny Alzheimer Centre, named after her father (Michael Czorny), who she watched suffer from the disease for nine years. She and husband Chick Stewart donated the land and capital costs to develop the centre, which operates as a partnership between the Fraser Health Authority, the Alzheimer SoMarilyn ciety of British Stewart Columbia, and the Czorny Alzheimer Centre Society. The donation, valued at $10 millions, was the largest ever received by Fraser Health. continued on page 7
