SUGGITT, Lorna Merle (nee SHEPHEARD) - 1922-2019 Born in 1922, in Scarborough, Merle Shepheard married the "greatest guy in the world", Bob Suggitt, in 1943.
They had four children: Janet Smith (Doug), Jean Milner (Ted), Julie Danielson (Dan) and Jeff Suggitt (Mary).
They lived happily in a small house on Leona Drive in Willowdale for the majority of their marriage.
Merle continued to live there after Bob's death in 1976.
Merle loved her job as an assistant in Dr. Olynyk's dental office, where she made lasting friendships with her coworkers and patients.
Merle was a wonderful and fun grandmother to Teddy, David and Beth, Jane and Nell, Karen and Jillian and a great-grandmother to ten.
As a widow, Merle became a world traveller with her friends.
She cared deeply for her family and would spend her weekends traveling between her children's homes. A true original, Merle was fun and sensitive. She always liked to be surrounded by those she loved and her absence will be felt deeply by all who knew and loved her.
A family service will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations to the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation would be appreciated.
