Beverly Rose Dilworth

1953 - 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Beverly Rose Dilworth on Thursday, February 20th, 2025, with her family by her side.

Bev’s family was her greatest joy. She spent 44 years with the love of her life, Peter. Together, they raised three children: Adam, Alix, and James. Her 'bonus' kids, Eric and Michelle, joined the family and were lovingly known as her 'favourite son-in-law' and 'favourite daughter-in-law.'

In the past several years, she undertook her greatest role: Nannie. Her four granddaughters, Clara, Aubrey, Gina, and Chelsey, were truly the center of her world, and she embraced every moment with them. She is reunited with her dearly missed parents, Laura and Henry Veenhof.

As someone who spent her entire career in healthcare, Bev touched the lives of many with her genuine compassion and care for others.

She enjoyed traveling the world, a good book, great concerts, and time spent at the family cottage in Buckhorn. Bev’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her family left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

In Loving Memory

With deep affection, we share the passing of Reynosa Camunias Oca Amparo, lovingly known as ‘Inay’ or Auntie Rey, who left us peacefully on February 13, 2025, surrounded by family at her bedside at Lakeridge Health Ajax.

Born in Victoria, Laguna, Philippines, Reynosa was the second of eight siblings and shared a close bond with her sisters Normita, Myrla, Rosemarie, and brothers Paulino, Ting Ishmael, Jerry, and Joseph.

She immigrated to Canada in April 1974 and dedicated her career to office management. In 1975, she married the love of her life, Moises Exconde Amparo Jr., in a simple yet beautiful ceremony in Midland, Ontario. Together, they built a loving family, raising their children Alvin and Aaron.

Reynosa’s legacy will be remembered for her unwavering love, kindness, and selfless service. She was deeply devoted to her faith, studying the Bible daily and sharing her love with those around her.

Our family is profoundly grateful to the staff at Lakeridge Health Ajax, as well as the PSWs and caregivers who provided compassionate care in her final days.

ZANCAI, Darlene Zancai

March 29, 1956 – February 1, 2025

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Muriel Darlene Zancai, known to all as Darlene, on February 1, 2025. She passed away peacefully at home, fulfilling her final wish, surrounded by the love of her family.

Darlene leaves behind her devoted husband, Renato, with whom she shared 51 years of love, partnership, and countless cherished memories. Together, they built a beautiful life, raising their children, Christine (Crawford) and Jamie, and later embracing the profound joy of being grandparents to Avery and Ashley. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Darlene’s greatest pride was her family. She was the heart of every gathering, offering wisdom, strength, and unwavering love to those she held dear.

Alongside Renato, she founded Cumberland Heating & Air Conditioning, a testament to their dedication and hard work. But beyond their business, Darlene’s greatest sanctuary was the family cottage on Paudash Lake, a dream lovingly brought to life by Renato’s craftsmanship. There, she found peace and happiness in the simple pleasures—boating across the water, tending to her beloved rock garden, and creating unforgettable memories with those she loved most.

She also had a deep love for travel, particularly cruising the Caribbean and Mediterranean, where she embraced adventure and the serenity of the open sea. Whether at home, at the cottage, or exploring the world, Darlene’s warmth, generosity, and boundless love touched everyone who knew her.

Though her absence leaves an immeasurable void, her legacy of kindness, love, and family devotion will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

If desired, donations can be made in Darlene's name to a charity of your choice.
