ELLARS, Doreen May (nee HYNDS) - Following a short illness, Mom passed peacefully on May 6, 2021 at North York General Hospital at the age of 98 and is now reunited with her husband of 56 years John, who passed in March of 2009.
Born in Toronto in 1923 and predeceased by her parents Mary and Samuel Hynds, she grew up with her sister Lena (predeceased) and went on to be a dedicated Wife, Mother, Grandmother and world traveller alongside Dad.
Mom and Dad went on to have 3 boys, John (Juliette), Gary (predeceased - 2020) and Doug (predeceased - 2011) (Barb).
Although always wanting a "girl", Mom was very happy to have 2 Daughters-in-Law instead. She and Dad were even more excited when their Grandchildren came along, Tyler, Kelsey (Jake) and Ben.
Visits from Nana and Papa were always a time to enjoy, both for the grandkids but also the parents
Later in life once all of us kids were taken care of, Mom and Dad took up Lawn Bowling at the Willowdale Club and travelled extensively with other Club members to such places as Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Spain, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand.
Mom will be missed greatly by all her family, including Nephew David (Julieanne) and Niece Kathy (Anthony - Deceased).
Given her love of dogs she grew up with and "grand dogs" she enjoyed "babysitting", we would ask any donations in Mom's memory be made to either: The Southern Ontario Sheltie Rescue or the Ontario SPCA.
