MURPHY, Anneliese Murphy
Anneliese Murphy
April 11, 1939 – April 16, 2025
Passed away peacefully at the Uxbridge Cottage Hospital on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 at the age of 86, having just celebrated her birthday. Beloved wife of the late Frank Murphy.
Lovingly remembered by her children Peter Werheid (Tammy), Peter Murphy (Margaret), and Caroline Werheid (Jim). Cherished Omi of Michael, Kyley, Leeann, Carlene, and Rowan, and Great Omi of Orien, Nolan, and Madeline. Also survived by her siblings Hilda Volbach (Vivian), Rosemarie (late Heinz), and Johannas Volbach (Karin), and by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her sister Hanni Dahl (Herbert).
Growing up in post-war Germany with her close family, Anneliese decided to emigrate to Canada in 1958 to follow her life’s ambition. Landing in Gander, Newfoundland in her high heels and with a strong disposition, she began her life as a Canadian. Family life soon followed with Konrad, and later Peter and Caroline. Anne always enjoyed family time, which was enhanced by her wonderful home cooking and strong cocktails.
A strong work ethic led her to Imperial Oil, where she rose to become Senior Supervisor of Credit and enjoyed a very successful career. Along the way, she met Frank, and together they spent the rest of Frank’s life sharing many trips, events, and, of course, family parties.
Anneliese was a strong-willed and pragmatic woman, ahead of her time—a force to respect and admire. Her determination, love for family, and unwavering spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
The family would like to express their utmost thanks to the staff at Douglas Crossing for their dedicated care during Anne’s final years and to the team at Uxbridge Cottage Hospital who made her last days peaceful and dignified.
Cremation has been entrusted to Low & Low Funeral Home, Uxbridge Chapel. As expressions of sympathy, donations to Breast Cancer Canada would be appreciated by the family.

After a lengthy stay in hospital and a life filled with pain, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Sheree on April 17, 2025, with her closest family holding her hands.

There is no doubt that the day Brittney was born, she became Nana’s favorite. Although Brittney only had 25 physical years with Nana, she is left with an eternal unconditional love that we are incredibly grateful for.

ZARIF, Reza Zarif
Reza Zarif
28-Nov-1957 - 17-Apr-2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father Reza Zarif. A beloved father, brother, uncle, and grandfather, who left this world peacefully, surrounded by his cherished children and sister. Reza’s love for his family was boundless, and he dedicated his life to nurturing and supporting those he held dear.
Reza is survived by his son Thomas (Leticia) and their children Isaiah, Neveah, Ariyah, and Anaiyah, as well as his daughter Victoria (Ruben) and their children Leandro and Isabella. He also leaves behind his devoted sister Roya (Farzhad) and their children Damon and Benjamin. He also leaves behind his cherished nieces and nephews Nazanin, Nazli, Pantea, Paegah, Prandis, Farnaz, Sanaz, Sina, Syed and Ali. His loving Aunt Sudi and her children Shadi and Shaliz also survive him. Reza took immense pride in each member of his family, celebrating their achievements and supporting them through every aspect of life.
A deeply spiritual man, Reza often reflected on the themes of life, love, and death. He believed that death was not an end, but a transition to a greater spiritual existence. His comforting words remind us that while his physical presence may be gone, his spirit remains with us, guiding and watching over us. Reza’s mantra, “Think positive, say positive, and do positive,” encapsulated his approach to life and the legacy he leaves behind.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Reza were touched by his compassion, generosity, and unwavering kindness. He had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and loved, and his laughter and wisdom will be deeply missed. As we navigate this profound loss, we take solace in the belief that Reza is now free and at home in a place of peace.
As we remember Reza, let us remember that he would say to us “Do not cry for me, for I am now free and I am home.” His spirit will continue to shine brightly through the love he instilled in his family and the countless lives he touched.
In honor of Reza’s memory, we invite all who knew him to share their cherished memories and stories. Your reflections will help us celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the indelible mark he left on our hearts.
