Marjorie Jill Vukovic
February 1, 1935 - November 26, 2024
Mum passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, in her 90th year. She joins her beloved husband Vlado. Lovingly remembered by her sons: Nicholas (Nancy), Andrew (Margaret), and Christopher (Alison). Very proud and devoted grandmother of Gregory, Maia, William, and Teddy. Jill was predeceased by her sister Diana and brother Kenneth.
Jill loved teaching Junior Kindergarten at Annette Street Public School, introducing children to their start in school. Her classroom was always a place of colour, texture, and experience.
Mum had many hobbies, including pottery with Pops, knitting, crocheting, quilting, cooking, and baking (her massive cookbook collection as evidence). Despite no discernible order, she always knew where to find a particular recipe! She enjoyed stays at the cottage, swimming even up to a cottage closure at Thanksgiving. She loved her guinea pigs, cats, Britcoms, Marks & Spencer biscuits, POLO candies, and the occasional cider or gin & tonic.
Mum cherished her time in Britain and warmly welcomed family and friends who visited there. She loved hearing from her grandchildren and learning about their adventures. Despite the trials and tribulations of aging, she never lost her ability to enjoy the moment.
Mum will be lovingly remembered and always missed by her family and friends.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to McEachnie Funeral Home. A private family service will be held in the Spring.
Cheers Mum and Laku noć.

Marjorie was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario but moved to Oshawa at a young age with her parents and called Oshawa her home for the rest of her years.
Marjorie had a love for finding treasures and was never happier than going out to yard sales looking for antiques and special pieces of china and glassware. She and her late husband Peter enjoyed many years meeting people and selling their wares at various local flea markets, including in Pickering and Courtice.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful and caring staff and lovely residents of Livita Centennial Retirement Residence, where Marjorie resided after a fire destroyed her family home in 2018.
As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the CAMH Foundation – The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation. (*CAMH are matching all donations through December 3, 2024.)

Her creativity spilled into photography, drawing, and crafting, with her artistic spirit reflected in every endeavor. Always full of ambition, she successfully launched multiple online businesses, and even during her hospital stay, her selflessness and creativity shone through. From her hospital bed, she designed stunning crystal gem art, gifting it to the nurses and doctors who cared for her, as a token of her deep gratitude for their unwavering attention to her happiness and comfort.
Rita leaves behind her devoted and loving husband, Graham, and their beautiful daughter, Raine, who were the lights of her life. She is also survived by her loving mother, Doris Freake (Cyril), predeceased by her father, William Stevason (Theresa), loving mother and father-in-law predeceased Lorraine Globe, Kenneth Globe (Elaine), truly loved by her great-grandparents, predeceased Doris and Dominic Vinco, and predeceased grandfather Sal Vinco (Alice).

VALIQUETTE, Gwendolyn "Gwen" Irene Valiquette: 11-Mar-1940 - 30-Aug-2024
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down
in green pastures:
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul:
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.
Even, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for You are with me; Your rod and
Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house
of the LORD forever.

January 15, 1935 – August 12, 2024
Mia (Mary) Valckx (nee Spreeuwenberg) passed away peacefully on August 12, 2024, at Lakeridge Health in Oshawa.
She will be remembered for her warm heart, remarkable hospitality and the joy she brought to those around her.

After immigrating to Canada in the late 1950s, she maintained close ties with her relatives in the Netherlands, always treasuring her Dutch heritage.
Mia enjoyed gardening, hosting, cooking for her loved ones, traveling across Canada with her family and exploring the world later in life.
A dedicated member of the Catholic Women’s League for over 50 years, Mia found joy in spending time with her family and took great pride in showcasing her sewing, knitting and crocheting talents at church bazaars. Her beautifully crafted items brought joy to many - a legacy that continues today.
A private funeral service will be held on a later on date.
