BEAUDRY, Margaret Anne Beaudry
19-May-1959 - 29-Jan-2025
Margaret Anne Beaudry (Lacquaniti), age 65 died suddenly on Wednesday, January 29.
She was born on May 19, 1959, in Marville, France to parents Marion and Donald Beaudry. Most of her childhood was spent living in Scarborough where she was raised by Marion and Salvatore DiDio.
Margaret will be sorely missed by her three children, Freddy, Ashleigh and Meaghan, son-in-laws, Tom and Tom, grandchildren Steven and Sophia, grand-dogs Bella and Chappy, siblings Joanne and Sammy (Sharon), Father Salvatore (Jocelyn) and her many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Margaret lived a joy-filled life. She loved simple pleasures - spending time with her children and grandchildren, dancing, going on road trips and playing poker with her friends, playing beach and indoor volleyball, baking, cooking, going to the cottage, regular hikes in Durham forests, hitting a triple word score in Scrabble or playing the daily Wordle, and completing a variety of home improvement tasks (often self-learned through YouTube). She was a music lover who went to concerts regularly and was always looking for new music that spoke to her soul. She was a lifelong learner, always seeking new skills or information to strengthen her understanding of the world.
Margaret’s career took many turns over the years from starting in the financial and banking industry to running her own café in Cobourg and making crepes at local farmers’ markets and later driving a school bus (with her own playlists for the kids). Most recently, she found a career as a school secretary where she was proud to support the children, staff and families at Valley View Public School in Ajax.
Margaret’s greatest pride was being a mom and nana. She was an incredibly active parent who was there for every hockey or soccer game (even as a coach or bench trainer), improv tournament, dance recital and milestone big or small (often with a homemade cake to celebrate). She was equally the best nana ever, hosting sleepovers, taking the kids to their favourite parks, doing arts and crafts, or going to Nebs fun world. She made us laugh with her silly sense of humour and knew how to comfort us through our toughest challenges. We always looked forward to celebrating holidays and life’s milestones together, or just a weekend visit. These moments undoubtedly won’t be the same without her presence.
While we wish we had so much more time with Margaret, we know that wherever she is, she’s dancing and has a smile on her face. Her heart was only full of love, and this gives us comfort during this incredibly difficult time.
If so desired, donations to JumpStart in Margaret's memory would be appreciated.

Gregory Clark McLane
August 26, 1955 - January 29, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Greg McLane, who passed away peacefully at home on January 29, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. He was 69 years old.
Greg was the beloved husband and best friend of Anne and a proud father to Kimberly (Ronny) and Krystin. He was the cherished grandfather of London and River, who brought him immense joy. Greg will also be deeply missed by his siblings, Heather, Jim (Pat), John, as well as his nieces and nephews.
Greg dedicated his life to serving the community, working as a police officer for over 40 years, retiring in 2016 as the Chief of the Toronto Police Homicide Squad. His legacy in law enforcement is one of leadership, dedication, and a commitment to justice.
Beyond his career, Greg was a man of many passions. He loved the summer months, spending countless hours boating on Georgian Bay with his closest family and friends. Music was also a great love, and he was known for his talent and passion for playing the drums.
Greg’s love for baseball extended beyond the game itself—he cherished the friendships and teamwork that came with it. He also had an innate ability to work with his hands and was a gifted handyman who could fix or build just about anything. Whether it was a renovation project or a small repair, Greg’s skill was unmatched.
Known for his quick wit, infectious sense of humor, and captivating storytelling, Greg had a presence that lit up any room. He was the life of the party, always bringing laughter, warmth, and camaraderie to those around him.
Greg’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and colleagues.

Yap Soo Choo
December 8, 1929 - January 25, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Yap Soo Choo, who passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 25, 2025. Born in Malaysia, she later moved to Singapore before immigrating to Canada in the early 1990s.
Soo Choo was married to Tan Siew Eng, the love of her life, until his passing on January 8, 2018. Their love story was one of devotion, with Siew Eng affectionately calling her ‘Linda’ after the famous Chinese actress Lin Dai. Together, they had three children: Leslie, Charles, and Jimmy. Though she loved all her children dearly, they often teased her that Leslie was her favorite.
In Singapore, Soo Choo was a respected educator, passionately teaching and shaping young minds. Beyond the classroom, she enjoyed gourmet cooking, folk dancing, and playing classical Chinese musical instruments. She was also a dedicated Tai Chi practitioner, which kept her strong and agile despite past injuries.
Her adventurous spirit and adaptability shone through when she visited Canada, effortlessly adjusting to driving on the right side of the road. A proud Canadian since the late 1990s, she cherished her new home while holding dear to her roots.
Soo Choo is survived by her three children and their partners, as well as her beloved grandchildren: Stefanie (Jon), Christobel (Ian), Phoebe, and Sherrilyn (Theodore). She was also blessed with great-grandsons Aiden and Jude.
We also wish to acknowledge the wonderful women who brought joy to her life: Wai Han, Gene, Geri, and Amy. A special mention goes to Sunita, whose love and dedication made her the daughter our mom never had.
