1932 - 2024

Passed away peacefully in her 91st year on March 12 2024 in Ajax Ontario.

Isabelle’s life was truly a love story shared with her loving husband Robert (Bob) Curtis ( pre deceased).

Together they traveled, golfed, and spent much of their time volunteering in the community and especially serving with the Optimists Club of Ajax.

Isabelle enjoyed a long and rewarding career as a librarian in London, Brockville and Ajax/ Pickering. She loved to read her Farley Mowat and Pierre Burton books and was always eager to learn more about the history of Canada.

In recent years she very much enjoyed the friendships she made at the Pickering Village United Church and being a part of the Pickering Women’s Club where she shared knowledge and good times with so many friends.

Most of all Isabelle valued the people and the friendships that blessed her life. Loving Nana to her grandson Miles and great Grandmother to Jayden. She is survived by her sons Paul (Monica) and Jim (Kim).

The family would like to express our thanks to all the terrific people at Westney Gardens Independent Living in Ajax. The staff were always so kind and thoughtful.

A sincere thank you to the doctors and nurses at Lakeridge Health Pickering/ Ajax for their care and compassion.

Isabelle’s family will celebrate her life with a private service.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Christopher Kevin Reid on February 9th, 2024, in his home, at the age of 47.

Born in Scarborough, Ontario, on May 3, 1976, to Petrona Gwendolyn Gray and Francis Duval, Christopher was blessed with a second family when adopted by his late aunt and uncle, Sylvia and Justin Reid, who lovingly raised him as their own.

Christopher's childhood was marked by his involvement in cadets, a passion for soccer, and cherished vacations with his parents.

His life was a testament to the strength of the human spirit, facing life's hurdles with resilience and determination, all the while maintaining his gentle and compassionate nature.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Christopher will forever hold dear memories of his infectious sense of humor, his love for sports and games, and his impeccable sense of style.

An adventurer at heart, Christopher's zest for life was evident in his long walks and explorations, often accompanied by his friend, Sean.

He leaves behind a legacy of love and memories cherished by his sisters, Juliet and Monique, his brother Richard, devoted aunts, beloved nieces and nephews, close friends, and support workers.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the remarkable life of Christopher Kevin Reid, a soul taken too soon but who left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him.

Let us honor his memory by holding close to the joy he brought into our lives and the lessons of kindness and perseverance he exemplified.

As we say goodbye, let us find comfort in the warmth of the memories he leaves behind, a beacon of light for all who navigated the path of life alongside him.
