UNSAL, Emine Senay Unsal
1938 - 2023
Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Senay Unsal passed away on March 4, 2023 at 85 years old.
Born in 1938 in Istanbul, Turkiye to parents Reshat and Sabahat Denizci, Senay and her late husband Sabri moved their family to Canada in 1964.
Survived by her children Simrah (Onur) and Serhat (Xiao). Grandmother to Koray (Justine), Sera (Tyler) and Sezgi (Matthew). Great Grandmother to Wesley, Nico and Brooks.
After studying fashion design in Istanbul, Turkiye, she worked for many renowned fashion houses in Toronto in the 1960s as a seamstress. She had a long career in retail sales and retired from La Vie en Rose in 2020 after making many lifelong friends.
Loved by everyone she crossed paths with, she will always be remembered for keeping up with the latest trends, her love of Turkish and popular music, and suntanning on the beach. She adored Saturday dinners with Serhat and Xiao, mother-daughter shopping trips and travelling to Florida with Sim, and loved to hang out with her grandchildren.
She also enjoyed visiting with family and friends while travelling back and forth between her homes in Toronto and Istanbul. She will be greatly missed.
She will be interred at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens in Ajax, Ont.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation (www.mshf.on.ca).
