"Stasia will always be remembered as part of Canberra’s rich fabric, and her legacy will continue through her friends, family and supporters”.Stasia Dabrowski was honoured by the ACT for her contributions. Photo: ACT Community Services.It was a long journey from Stasia’s childhood in Poland, where she was born in 1926 near the Czechoslovakian border. Before the start of World War II, her family fled Ukrainian ethnic cleansing, then faced subsequent Nazi and Communist invasions.They lost everything and suffered significant privations, often living without running water, heating or enough food. But beyond the hardship, Stasia remembered a warm and supportive family and the importance of that for survival.Stasia eventually arrived in Canberra in 1964 with her husband and young family, although her struggles continued after the marriage broke down and her family faced multiple personal challenges." https://the-riotact.com/farewell-to-a-canberra-icon-canberras-soup-lady-stasia-dabrowski/399600#:~:text=Stasia%20will%20always,multiple%20personal%20challenges.
