CORREA, Mathilda Costa - It is with deep sadness that we advise you of the death of our mother, Mathilda Costa Correa at the age of 98.
Mathilda passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Health, Ajax-Pickering Hospital on March 3, 2023, after a brief illness due to a stroke.
She was predeceased by her husband Cyril Costa Correa and is survived by her daughter Iona Spencer (David), son Clifford (Claire), grand-daughter Sinead (Craig), and sister Sara.
Mathilda was born in Assolna, Goa India on June 12, 1924, the oldest of seven children. Very artistic with a great eye for design, she designed her own clothes and quickly developed the skills of a seamstress.
In 1946 Mathilda met Cyril, her future husband, in Goa. Later, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya and were married in early 1947. They have two children, Iona and Clifford.
Mathilda was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all.
May she Rest in Peace.
Arrangements with the DeStefano Funeral Home.
If desired, memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada would be appreciated.
