It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Magda Ptak nee Torres, age 92 of Lincolnshire. Loving mother of Monica Ptak. Cherished sister of Jaime, Juan Pablo, Felix and Martha ~ all of Colombia. Adored aunt, cousin, and friend to many. Magda was a kind and generous soul with a deep appreciation for nature. Whether she was tending to her glorious plants or beautiful rose garden, protecting the recurring duck's nest that made its home in said garden, rescuing injured wildlife or stray dogs who may cross her path or simply observing a bird or a butterfly ~ Magda always showed love for all of God's creatures. Later in life Magda's creativity blossomed as she participated in art classes to showcase her various talents. She also enjoyed volunteering at her church. Magda traveled to many parts of the world during her lifetime. She enjoyed visiting new countries and exploring new cultures. Her adventurous spirit and love for nature lives on through her daughter.
