Edith Erika Schroth Schroth
Listed in Memorials
October 4th, 1926 - May 25th, 2021
of Whitby, Ontario, passed away peacefully in her sleep at age 94 at Hospice Waterloo Region on May 25, 2021.
A native of the Free City of Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), Edith was born on October 4th, 1926.
After enjoying a comfortable childhood on her grandfather’s estate, she fled westward with her family in the winter of 1945, in the closing months of the Second World War, along with hundreds of thousands of other East Prussian refugees.
By a stroke of good fortune, Edith did not board the doomed refugee ship, Wilhelm Gustloff, which was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine on January 30, 1945.
After meeting and marrying Alfred Schroth in West Germany, Edith selected Canada as their adoptive home, and the couple moved to Oshawa, Ontario in 1955. They raised four children, while Alfred worked at the General Motors plant.
Edith was an avid bowler and earned several trophies.
She loved to dance and was a long-standing member of Oshawa’s German Club Lorelei, where she and Alfred enjoyed many Saturday evenings together with friends.
Sadly, Edith was widowed in 1992. She leaves behind four children, Gilda Dell (Michael), Ralph Schroth (Brenda), Diane VandePol, and Andre Schroth (Elizabeth), and ten grandchildren (Jennifer, Justin, Zachary, Alissa, Joshua, Erika, Kristina, Ethan, Liam, and Christopher), as well as several nieces and nephews, and a brother-in-law, Werner Schroth. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private family service is planned.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Hospice Waterloo Region or to Grace Lutheran Church in Oshawa. Online condolences may be left at armstrongfh.ca .

We are saddened by the sudden passing of Al Michael, who died on May 17, 2021, at the age of 74.

He is also survived by his siblings Saida, Norma, Peter, Michael, Mary and Johnny. He is predeceased by his mother and father, Genevieve and Habeeb, and his brother Joe.
Al was so very important to so many people, and loved by all.
Known for his helping hands, his wit he brought laughter with, his grit with his vegetable farm, and in his retirement, grew the best peaches in Eastern Ontario.
His life was spent beautifying the world he lived among, with hollyhocks as far as one could see.
There will be an empty seat at the head of the table, but our hearts will be full with the memories of you there.
Due to provincial restrictions related to COVID-19, there will be a celebration of Al’s life at a later date.
As an expression of sympathy, donations to Crohn's and Colitis Canada, www.crohnsandcolitis.ca will be appreciated by our family.

Former Employee of the TTC After suffering a recent stroke, Tony passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on May 2nd, 2021 just 6 days before his 88th birthday.
Beloved husband of Audrey “Babe” (nee Salkeld).
Dear father of Janice (Jeff) Brackett; Mike (Janet); Bobby (Helen) and Tracey (Bob) Drew-Brook.
Cherished grandpa of Melissa (Mat), Stephen (Laura), Allison (Jay), Shannon (Chris), Jordan, Jade, Tristan, Dawson, Jenna (Kevin) and Shawn (Kirstie).
Adored great-grandpa of Travis, Matilyn, Emily, Alyssa, Emma, Carson and Peyton.
Tony will be lovingly remembered by extensive family and countless friends.
Tony grew up in Toronto. He had four siblings and four half siblings.
At 18 Tony met Audrey and they married on his 21st birthday. Audrey was ‘Babe’ to her friends and family. She was the youngest child. Over the next ten years Tony and Babe had four children.
A year ago his Tony’s cancer made a reappearance. His children struggled to support them from a distance to allow them their independence for as long as possible. Recently, their son Mike and daughter-in-law Janet invited Tony and Babe to move in with them and they accepted. They were set to move in May 1st.
His chidren were thrilled that their dad would be able to enjoy the rest of his life being cared for instead of being the caregiver. On April 28th, Tony had a stroke. He died on May 2nd.
His family and friends were stunned by his death and saddened that they have not been able to hug him since Covid happened and now would never be able to again. Tony was an optimist. His outlook was always positive.
He would even see having a stroke as positive because a cancer death would likely be long and painful. Everyone he met enjoyed his company and his smile.
He set a wonderful example for his children who will remember him with love for as long they live.
Due to current restrictions there will be no service at this time, a Celebration of his Life will be held when it is safe to do so.
Memorial Donations may be made to The Cancer Society.
