Asunta Eileen Fernando is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, Alphonse Fernando; her children, Sharmila (Neil) and Manoj (Yelitza); and her five cherished grandchildren: Shania, Shane, Ashan, Caelen, and Sofia. Born to JHB and Susamma Fernando, Asunta was a beloved member of a large and close-knit family, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of her many nieces, nephews, and friends across the globe.

Asunta brought joy to many lives with her quick wit, sense of humor, love for music and dance, and mastery in the kitchen. She had a gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved. Her warmth and generosity left a lasting legacy of love and laughter.

The family extends their deepest gratitude to the compassionate staff at Lakeridge Health in Ajax for their exceptional care during Asunta's final months.
