CORFIELD, Stella T. (nee SMITH) - Affectionately called Teddy for all the great hugs she gave.
Passed away peacefully Saturday, April 13, 2019, in her 97th year.
Predeceased by 7 siblings. Born in Saskatchewan, Teddy moved to Toronto after joining the RCAF during WWII.
She earned the rank of Sergeant working at No. 1 Equipment Depot.
After the war she raised a family, ran a home day care and worked as an Avon Representative.
Teddy was as an Outdoor Education leader at Forest Valley for many years where she met and kept many lifelong friends. She later worked at LS Beatty HS and Yorkdale SS as an Educational Assistant, before retiring. An avid Blue Jays fan, she attended many games, first at the CNE (even in the snow) then at the Dome.
Teddy was thrilled when they won two consecutive World Series. She loved to travel with family and friends, enjoyed music and dancing. Teddy is survived by 6 children, 9 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Thanks to the staff at Elm Grove Living Centre for the care provided over the past year, especially to Georgia and Stennett who truly appreciated her sense of humour.
Thanks to Betty K. who was a wonderful companion during Teddy's stay at the Centre.
Cremation has already taken place.
