SINASAC, Kathleen "Kay" (nee Fodor) Passed away peacefully on October 16, 2009 at Windsor Regional Hospital (Met Campus); having lost her final battle with cancer. Devoted wife of the late John Sinasac (1998). Loving mother to the late Michael (2002), and to David and wife Jean Kawasoe. Dear daughter of the late Steve and Ester Fodor, and daughter-in-law of the late Harold and Mona Sinasac. Dearest sister to Bill (Madeline) Fodor, Steve (Helen) Fodor, Mary (Fred) Binder, Olga (Steve) Albu, Helen (Ted) Varga, Elizabeth (Bob) Pavkov, Margaret (Eckhard) Denzinger, Julie Fodor, and Frank (Heidi) Fodor. Predeceased by brothers Jasper and David Fodor, and sisters Rose Canfield and Irene Horvath. Sister-in-law to Lou Ann Morillo and Helen O'Gorman. Loved Aunt Katie to nieces and nephews, and Great Aunt to many more. Kay will be fondly remembered for her caring and generous nature, love of conversation, gardening and Danielle Steel novels, and of her unwavering devotion to her family. Kay was born in Warburg, Alberta, but her family relocated to Ontario where she eventually settling in Windsor. Kay worked for many years in the credit department at Koenig Fuel & Supply Co. in Detroit, Michigan, while sharing apartments with sisters, including the memorable upstairs apartment she shared with Irene on Cameron Ave. After getting married, Kay devoted her time to her family, focusing her energy to raising her two boys both within and outside of their house on Academy Dr. Following John's death and her boys leaving 'the nest', Kay enjoyed taking care of her home, visiting with relatives and friends, and occasionally working when the opportunity or need arose. In her later years, Kay could often be seen around the streets of South Windsor walking (and talking) with her sister Olga for exercise. Kay also faced many difficult times throughout her life, including the illnesses and deaths of her husband and son, and her own battles with breast cancer and finally leukemia. Through out it all, her strength, courage and enjoyment of life remained. We will all deeply miss her.

Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held. Arrangements entrusted to Families First Funeral Home & Tribute Centre (519-969-5841) 3260 Dougall Ave .
