WOJTOWICZ, Barbara (nee Knoll) Her family in Poland and Canada regrets to announce the death of Barbara Wojtowicz (nee Knoll) on 22 October 2009. Born in Lvov on 28 March 1918, Basia was a consummate equestrian, decorated member of the AK, the Polish underground Army and the Warsaw Uprising. After receiving a doctorate in food technology at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, she emigrated to Canada and worked as a research scientist for the National Research Council and Fisheries Research Board. Upon retirement, she impressed her grandchildren and friends with her deep love for animals and plants, running a lively menagerie at the farm outside of Merrickville, ON. We will miss her tremendously. Published in the Ottawa Citizen on 10/27/2009
