PARRY, F. Elaine - It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Frances Elaine Parry (née Vieira), at home in the early hours of Thursday, August 12, 2021, surrounded by her adoring husband and three sons.
Deeply loved by her husband of 66 years, Len; sons, Michael, Mark and Richard; and daughters-in-law, Debbie, Sarah, Liza and Lesley. Much-loved Nana of James, Jessica, Olivia, Catherine, Diana, Ginny and Julia.
Beloved Step-Nana of Shannon (Steven), Lauren (Everett) and Kathleen.
Great-grandmother to Colton and Sawyer. We are truly grateful for the loving care Elaine received from Audrey, Jonalyn, Rodelia, Joanne and Cristel.
Special thanks to Dr. Lisa Del Giudice, Dr. Kate Stead and the many others on the Sunnybrook Team who have cared for Elaine over the years.
Elaine was born in St. John's, Antigua, on August 24, 1934, to John and Edith Vieira.
She is survived by her sisters Marie Alexander of Columbus, Ohio and Agnes Jazwinski of Ponte Vedra, Florida. Elaine was predeceased by her sisters Maggie, Lyda, Joan, Gwen and brother Cyril and Len's sister Pauline.
She will be missed by her many nieces and nephews who loved her deeply. Elaine and Len married on June 11, 1955, and together they built a warm and welcoming home not only for their three boys, but for family, neighbours and friends as well.
She was a dear friend, confidante and aunt to many – the Grand Dame, the Belle of the Ball, Auntie Mame. Together with Len she was a founding partner of two family businesses.
