Agnieszka "Agnes" Kloc
August 21, 1978 - February 18, 2025
Agnieszka "Agnes" Kloc (née Ptaszyńska), born August 21, 1978, passed away on February 18, 2025.
Agnieszka was a beacon of love, kindness, and compassion. She was taken from us too soon but built a legacy that
will forever be cherished by her family and friends. She loved traveling and good food, but most of all, she loved people.
She accepted everyone without judgment and made them feel like they belonged. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and to
know her was a gift. To say that she had a good sense of humor is an understatement. She was a storyteller, and her stories
made you laugh until you cried or cry until you laughed. Her laughter was contagious, and she was beloved by her family,
friends, colleagues, and the patients she worked with for over 20 years as a nurse at the Hospital for Sick Children.
Agnieszka was the adored wife of Arkadiusz Kloc and a nurturing and loving mother to Amelie and Sophie Kloc.
A cherished daughter of Alicja and Bogdan Ptaszyński and treasured daughter-in-law of Hanna and Witold Kloc.
As a sister, she was dearly loved by Kasia Smulczynska (née Ptaszyńska) and her family, and was a dearest sister-in-law
to Marcin Kloc and his family. Her love extended to her nieces and nephews, Monika, Oliva, Ella, Adam, Maya, Natalia,
Lenka, and Aden.
Visitors are welcome to honor and celebrate Agnieszka’s life as of 11:00 AM on February 21 at
Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home (64 Lakeshore Rd West, Oakville, L6K 1E1),
followed by a service at 1:00 PM at St. Anthony of Padua Polish Roman Catholic Parish (40 John St., Oakville, L6K 1G8).
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.
When you think of Agnieszka, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short
and should be lived to the fullest. She will be missed more than any words could express, but she will be forever
in our hearts until we meet again.
Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home.

Alan Wight
Date of Death: November 29, 2024
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Alan Wight on November 29, 2024, after many years of health challenges. Alan was a devoted husband to Adrienne, a loving father to Christopher (Henriette [née Bako]) and Carol (Patrick), and a cherished grandfather to Samantha (Braden), Kyle, Carley, and Alexandra.
Born in South Shields, County Durham, England, Alan immigrated to Canada in 1969, settling in Oakville, Ontario. He built a life rooted in community, hard work, and generosity. As a skilled professional, Alan began his career in sales and engineering and later established his own successful business in 1980.
Alan was deeply committed to Freemasonry, following in the footsteps of his father-in-law, Bro. David A. Anderson. Initiated at Heaton Lodge No. 2723 in England in 1968, Alan actively participated in Freemasonry throughout his life and was honoured with the 50-year pin from the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario.
Alan’s wishes were for a masonic and private family service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Diabetes Canada.
Alan will be remembered as a kind and devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and a man of unwavering integrity. His wisdom, warmth, and generosity will forever be cherished by all who knew him.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rachelle Gouthro (née Lafrenière) on October 28, 2024.

A member of the Catholic Women’s League at St. Dominic Parish, Rachelle was known for her warm hospitality, and her love for cooking, gardening, and connecting with family and friends across Canada.
In retirement, Rachelle and Mike moved to Lindsay, Ontario, where she enjoyed church activities, playing cards, and spending time with loved ones. In her final years, Rachelle resided at Viva Mississauga, receiving loving care from family and forming new friendships.
