June 18, 1958 - August 19, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of maryann Kozak. She was surrounded by her family with her loved ones by her side in a place she had always called home. We will like to thank everyone who has sent their prayers, donations, love, and their condolences.
She survived by her loving husband Gary Kozak and her four children Rachel Jeff, Keith Jeff, Elvira Tallman(Jeff), Michelle Jeff, and many grandchildren, and many many loved ones.
Maryann was born in 1958 to parents Late Garnet Jeff and Late Elizabeth Jeff (charley boy) and grew up in the surrounding areas of the chilcotin and Williams Lake as well as the 150 mile house area.
Maryann was a VERY HARD working woman who absolutely loved her job. she worked with The Interior Roads in Williams Lake, bc for 30 + years, as a Flagger. she has worked with the crew on so many roads from as far down south in the Chilliwack areas, toward out west all the way toward bella coola areas, and from Williams lake to prince George areas.
She loved to watch her grandchildren play throughout the years. and taught her children/grandchildren many ways of the chilcotin ways of life, how to live off the land, berry picking, dipnetting, rod fishing, hunting. she loved camping with family and playing crib with her husband Gary Kozak.
She loved music and always danced when she got the chance to, one of her favorite songs was by Dr. Hook- cover of the rolling stone.
-"all I want to see is my smiling face on the cover of the rolling stone".
With great honour we would like to honour your smiling face in the newspaper. You were very much loved and will be missed very much.
We pray for a safe journey home, you will be greatly missed.
We love you.
