1938 - 2021 It is with great sadness and disbelief that we announce the death of Yvonne (Gray) Aubry.
Yvonne was born September 29, 1938 in Kandy, Sri Lanka and died in Ajax, Ontario on July 12, 2021.
Yvonne emigrated from Sri Lanka to Canada in 1960.
Yvonne and her loving husband Claude were married for 55 years at his time of passing in 2019.
They raised their children in Ajax, Ontario.
Yvonne will be greatly missed by Rosann (deceased and dearly missed), Vance & Laurie (Whitehorse, Canada), Claudette & Frank (Ajax, Ontario), Onil & Prell (Oshawa, Ontario), Peter Hartog (still family) and Michelle Green Aubry (still family).
Yvonne had 10 grandchildren Vance Jr., Amye (and Henry), Blair (and Christine), Breea, Cassandra (and Andrew), Zachary and Ariel (and Matt), Justeen, Jake and Gabby.
She had 2 great grandchildren Charles and Riley.
Yvonne is survived by her four siblings Malcolm (and Vivecca), Marlene, Ann (and Gordon), and Jean (and Brian). Extended family Ren and Debbie, Ryan and Keegan.
Yvonne was well known throughout Ajax, worked in several local businesses before settling into a job as a personal support worker (primarily private care) at Ballycliff Lodge.
Yvonne’s passion was truly the caring for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of senior citizens and she treated each patient as carefully and lovingly as if they were her parent.
Yvonne was tireless in her efforts to advocate for seniors to better care and rights up to the time of her passing. Yvonne was always quick to smile, offer a joke, time to listen, a shoulder to cry on or a beer to celebrate. Yvonne did not see people as strangers.
Unknown people quickly became friends and often lifelong friends.
Yvonne leaves this world having amassed huge numbers of family and friends and she will be missed terribly by all who knew her.
Because of Covid-19 restrictions, the Graveside Service on Monday, July 19, 2021 is private by invitation only through the family.
