Magdolna “Maggie” Petrics (Sorok), 83, of Williams Bay, went to be with the Lord on Friday, May 22, 2020 at home due to complications of Alzheimer’s.
She was born May 16, 1937 in Hungary, to Carl and Teresa (Torma) Sorok.
Maggie married the love of her life, Sigmond L. Petrics in Hungary in 1953. They escaped war-torn, communist Hungary and refugee camp in 1957 when they came to the United States for freedom.
She loved the Lord, was self-scarifying to all and had an extremely generous heart. She loved gardening and was a fantastic cook and she would always share her culinary delights with others.
Maggie is survived by her daughters, Magdaline (Megan) Ferrell and Mary Grey; grandchildren Jessica Larson-Hodder (Wes), Patchouli Moniot and Stephen J. Ferrell; and great grandchildren, Chase, Shayne, Connor, Kyle Larson, Shayna and Kaylin Ferrell.
She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Sigmon Leslie Petrics, mother Teresa Sorok and father Carol Sorok, and her sister, Amalia (Stephen) Nemeth.
Due to COVID-19 there will be a small visitation from 9 to 9:30 a.m., on Friday, May 29 at Betzer Funeral Home in Delavan for immediate family only. Graveside services will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Buffalo Grove, Ill.
