With great sadness we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Toni on May 17 at Vancouver General Hospital.

She will be sadly missed by her son, John Paul, daughter-in-law Denise and grandsons Jack and Nate as well as by her extended family and friends. Toni was devoted to her Faith, and to her family, caring for her mother Francisca (Panchita) through infirmity, raising her son John Paul, and later caring for her elderly father Hector and step-mother Jeanne Morrison in their later years. She doted on her family, especially her young grandsons Jack and Nate, who brought her great joy. Her mother Francisca’s friends and their families became her friends and part of her family, along with making many close friends along the way through work as a typist and office worker at Wright Engineers and later the Health Employer’s Association of BC. Toni had a great interest in decorating as well as scrapbooking and preserving family memories for her children and grandchildren.

Prayers will be offered at 7 p.m., May 26, 2011 at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, 1345 W 73rd Ave., Vancouver, where Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Friday, May 27, 2011.  Rev. Mario celebrant.  Interment to follow at Gardens of Gethsemani Cemetery, Surrey. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.kearneyfs.com.  In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Toni’s name to www.marfan.ca .
