Venice matriarch built business from faith and risk
Mrs. Stancik and her late husband moved from Ohio to Venice in 1949. They built a family business from a single real estate office in 1954 as downtown Venice grew. She recalls early days with few property owners, shops like B.W. Francis and the Venice Nokomis Bank, and a motto to meet everything with faith and trust in a good outcome.
