Mary Emilienne Landry
Peacefully at home surrounded by family on Thursday, February 29, 2024 at the age of 91.
Mary was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, cousin, aunt, teacher and friend.
She will be missed by her husband, Ted, and her children Maureen (Al), Susan (Mitchell), Denyse (Bob), Carolyn (Glenn), Peter and Jennifer.
Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were a constant source of joy. Grandchildren: Michael, Christopher, Michael, Stephanie, Alexandra, Ashley, Mark, Andrea, Madeleine, Ed, Ben, Jamie, Sean, Leah and Adam.
Great grandchildren: Dylan, Addison, Tyson, Paityn, Lucas, Brennley, Myles, Jack and Emily. Mary will also be missed by her brother Bill (Jean), and she was predeceased by her sister, Anne.
Born in Peterborough in 1932, Mary spent most of her life in Toronto. She met Ted when she was in high school and they spent more than 70 years together raising their large family in St. Bruno and Scarborough.
A teacher through and through and a lifelong learner herself, Mary completed two Masters degrees (Divinity & Theology).
She had a special interest in feminist theology and ecofeminism, and although at times her views were at odds with Catholic teaching, she was dedicated to changing her beloved Catholic church from within.
Her progressive approach to adult education garnered an enthusiastic following during a long career at St. Gabriel’s Passionist Parish.
A lifelong lover of music and an accomplished pianist, Mary achieved her Associate Diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto.
She enjoyed playing the organ at church and was frequently asked to perform at weddings and funerals.
Mary also spoke fondly of leading the church choir and dreamed of conducting an orchestra.
Mary was the embodiment of hospitality.
She would drop everything when someone arrived at the house and there was always room for more at the table. On more than one occasion, Mary opened her home to people in need of a place to stay, including some for extended periods.
Grand-Barachois, New Brunswick held a very special place in Mary’s heart. She enjoyed spending summers at the cottage - Plage Hirondelle - surrounded by friends and family.
A special thank you to Maggie, Seeta and Melanie for their compassionate care. Mary had a long, full and happy life.
A service will be held at St. Gabriel’s Parish (670 Sheppard Ave E, North York, ON, M2K 1B7) at 11 am on March 8, 2024 with a reception to follow.

Michael “Mike” Hance
March 22, 1962 – February 28, 2024
Peacefully and surrounded by family, after a brief illness, at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
Beloved husband to Elizabeth, treasured father to Timothy (Monique).
Loving son to Harold “Pete” and Marlene, cherished brother to Kelly Tedesco (David).
Born in 1962 in Oshawa, Mike went on to graduate from Durham College with a diploma in graphic design.
He would later remind people that he was the last class to graduate without the use of computers. In 1980, he would meet the love of his life, Liz, at a party.
He would routinely say that this chance meeting was the best thing that ever happened to him. In 1994, Liz and Mike would welcome their only child, Tim.
His family meant the world to him, continually growing as it did. He would spend time playing guitar to them, teaching them the ins and outs of various parts of history, or debating them on numerous topics (and then switching sides once they both agreed).
Mike was always up for a good discussion. Mike meant so many things to so many people. It’s hard to sum up such a life well lived into a few short paragraphs.
He was a writer, a coach, a set designer, a musician. He was a constant presence in so many lives. Above all, he was a good man.
It’s alright now, close your eyes,
Sleep until once again I’m with you,
But for now I have to stay behind,
And try to go on without you.
Many thanks go out to all the medical staff at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Mount Sinai Hospital. Mike lauded the dignity afforded to him and the care and compassion demonstrated by all who helped him.
Celebration of Life: March 17, 2024 from 1-4pm, Fernhill Community Centre , 144 Fernhill Blvd., Oshawa, ON L1J 5J3.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Cremation arrangements entrusted to McINTOSH-ANDERSON-KELLAM FUNERAL HOME Ltd., 152 King St. E., Oshawa (905-433-5558).

Michael Fair
June 14, 2002 - February 23, 2024
It is with heavy hearts, we announce the passing of this precious young man, Michael Robert Fair.
Born to Robert and Jennifer, Michael was a beloved son, cherished brother to Morgan, and adored grandson of Bev Harding and Joan Fair.
Michael is predeceased by his grandfathers, George Harding (Bev) and Ken Fair (Joan).
He will be deeply missed by his cousins, Stephen Harding, Kelly Harding, Joel and Caitlin Pipher, Dawn and Jon Grant, his aunts and uncles, Jennifer Fair, Joyce and Craig Harding, Cathy and Rod Pipher, Lisa and Jerry Babin, Chris Harding, Nick Harding, and many other extended family and friends.
He will be very missed by all who crossed his path within his beautiful life. Michael had a passion for music, finding solace in the melodies of guitar and piano. He found peace in the company of animals and enjoyed leisurely strolls with his dogs by the lake. Skiing, camping, soccer, and swimming were among his favorite pastimes.
Michael's presence brought light and joy to the lives of all who knew him.
His kindness knew no bounds, and his compassion touched the hearts of everyone he encountered. He leaves behind a legacy of love, warmth, and generosity that will be remembered always.
Though Michael's time with us was brief, the impact he made on those around him is immeasurable.
As we mourn his loss, may we find comfort in the love and peace of God, knowing that Michael's spirit will forever reside in our hearts.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. Millions of hearts.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Michael's honour may be made to https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/joannes-house/campaign/in-michaels-name/
