LAMIE, Elvera Veronica (Quinto) - Born in Toronto on May 22, 1922, to Bernard and Katherine Quinto, Elvera died on June 27, 2021 due to heart failure.
Beloved mother of Frank Lamie (Anne), Keith Lamie, and Kathie Lamie (Brian), and loving Grandmother of Frank (Andria), Beth (Jerry), Peter, Denise (Matthew), Brianne, Connor, Daniel and Taylor.
Great-grandmother to Siena, Michael, Leo, Vivienne, Jack, Lewyn, Elvera and Bennet.
The second born of 5 children, dear sister of the late Marie Densmore, the late Frances Howlett, the late Joseph Quinto, and the very much with us - Bernice Holmes. Elvera will also be missed by her many nieces and nephews.
Elvera was predeceased by her husband of 10 years, Frank Charles Lamie, in 1961. They met at Elvera's sister Marie's house. She loved telling a story about a Christmas party at Marie's when Frank and Elvera's date both brought her a plate of food at the same time.
During their marriage they lived in Detroit, Michigan and had their three children there.
Following Frank's passing, Elvera moved her children to Toronto. They were aged 9, 8 and 4. They settled in Willowdale where she began her career with Concordia (later Colonia) Life Insurance.
As members of St. Gabriel's parish during the early years, we somehow made it to church on Sunday and were decked out in our Easter Best every year.
Many thanks to the staff of The Village of Arbour Trails for their constant care - especially during her recent illness.
Visitation will take place on Friday July 2nd with visitation at Marshall Funeral Home, Richmond Hill with a limit of 35 people in at a time. Saturday a mass will be held at St. Mary Immaculate Church on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill at 10:00 a.m. Due to COVID 19, the limit at the church will be 75.
If you wish to make a donation in Elvera's honour, please consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or any charity of your choice.
