94 Years Old It’s with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother- Teresa Mary Schaper (nee Camilleri).

Watched over by all those who loved her.

Wonderful mother to Jim & Rob (Chandra). Loving Grandmother to Chris (Jessica), Brad, Ciara (Allister) & Kohl, Great Grandmother to Kayce. Loving wife to the late Karl Schaper & Alex McVicar.

Teresa, or Terry to those who knew her, grew up in a busy home on the Danforth with her 7 siblings. Teresa’s father had immigrated to Canada from Malta, and opened a small storefront business while raising their family in the overhead apartment.

Terry met her husband, Alex, at a dance and not after too long did they have a home and boys of their own after settling in Stouffville on Baker Street.

An avid crafter of delicious lemon meringue pies, Terry was famous for her “tear your face off tarte” filling - a passion taken on by her son, Rob, who has proudly followed in her footsteps and mastered her recipe.

Terry was a fixture of our family gatherings, always present for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, piano recitals or family BBQs.

With love, we will say as Mom always said to us: Don’t say good-bye, say so long.

Cremation has taken place - A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Todd was born May 18, 1956 and peacefully passed away mid morning on August 18, 2023 at Oak Ridge Hospice, Port Perry.

Anton massaged Todds arms and legs and shoulders and Todd relaxed into his memories.

She was truly invaluable to Todd’s gentle, comfortable and peaceful final week of life. Also, thanks to the staff at R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre who made the last 2 years of chemo as comfortable as possible.

And much thanks to Naomi and Mary from ParaMed who provided gentle loving home care to Todd. And lastly to the entire group of incredible souls at Oak Ridge Hospice in Port Perry.

In his retirement, Tom and his wife Tilka traveled extensively until settling into Arizona life as snowbirds.

Anyone whose path crossed with Tom’s saw that he had a quiet yet very playful demeanour and a soul that was gentle and kind. During the day he would typically be found in the backyard with a garden shovel in hand, while in the evenings he enjoyed playing cards with friends.

Not only did Tom instill values of kindness, humility, and self-reliance onto his children, he also instilled a love of travel and nature through his hiking and camping adventures, many of which he had the opportunity to share with his grandchildren. He is survived by his wife, Tilka (nee Ivicak), daughters Tania and Andrea along with their spouses (Marko and Cheryl) and grandchildren (Nadia, Marko, Ava, and Luka).
