MCCABE, Margaret Jean Leslie McCabe - February 10, 1935 – September 9, 2024

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Margaret Jean Mccabe, at the age of 89 years. Jean was an absolutely beautiful woman, both inside and out. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to all whose lives she blessed.

Jean was a successful entrepreneur, spending 20 years running herself established family business, "McCabe's Cheese Nook", in Bowmanville. She was later joined by her daughter Pam, and they ran the business for the last 5 years together. Above all, Jean was selfless and kind-hearted. She was always thinking of others and making them feel welcome. Every time you visited you were immediately asked if you were hungry and welcomed in with open arms. She is a beautiful soul.

Jean was very creative. Always knitting, quilting, and perfecting her gardens. She enjoyed golfing and watching sports on TV during her evenings with Doug.

Jean was the loving and devoted wife of her late husband Doug McCabe. Pre-deceased by her parents Marjorie and Leslie Atkinson, and her son, Frank. Jean was also the beloved mother of Pam (+John), Wendy (Brian), and Donna (Kevin). She was the proud grandmother of Brett (Kandas), Candace, Colin (Ashley), Michelle (Cory), Ken, Robb (Noelle), and Krystyna (Tyler). Jean also cherished her great grandchildren Eastyn, Tyson, Arya, Karson, Peyton, Atlas, Aurora, Paxton, Evan, Maykayla, Audryna, Amari and Emerson. She lived a full life as a wonderful mother, businesswoman, and friend.

Her departure leaves an unfillable void in our lives, yet we find comfort in the memories and everlasting love we shared.

ELIK, Jeff Elik - May 24, 1962 – September 2, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Jeff, a beloved husband, Dad, son, brother and friend. Jeff passed on September 2, 2024 at the age of 62 with all his family and furbaby by his side. He was a man of significant strength, kindness and love.

His hard work touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him. He was particularly fond of his extended family at Mosport (CTMP) who gave him the opportunity to continue talking to different people when he retired from truck driving.

Jeff’s talents were many and he could be a master at everything he put his mind to. Though he has left this world, the love and memories he created with those closest to him will live on forever.

He will be lovingly missed by his wife and best friend, Florence. Devoted and loving Dad of Cassandra (Daniel), Brittany (Steven) and his furbabies Mandy and Rupert. Cherished grandfather of Mason. Dear son of the late Bo and Jackie Elik.

STERLING, Corey Wayne Sterling - November 7, 1970 – August 23, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Corey Wayne Sterling on August 23rd, 2024. Corey was loved by so many and loved others deeply. If you were lucky to know him you were blessed to experience that true loving heart he shared so freely. Corey always had an adventurous spirit that showed in his cooking, from fried rice with cut up hotdogs, to his peanut butter and onion sandwiches among his other “delicacies.” He was always excited when he talked someone into trying his crazy concoctions. Corey loved music for as long as we can remember, from a young age he would belt out Kiss’s Beth with his cousin Jamie. When our family moved to the townhouses there was no shortage of kitchen jam sessions with everyone in the neighborhood that wanted to join. It wasn’t out of the ordinary to see many guitars and even drums in our front yard. It would be living next door to the Penhale family, whose father Ray would further inspire Corey to follow his dreams of becoming a singer. He would go on to have success (and some wild times) with The Kenny Wayne Shepard Band, and The Chris Aaron Band. He is a legend still today to many and missed by his number 1 fans in Wisconsin.

Corey truly was a beautiful soul and really cared deeply about people, he loved playing games and had many friends because he was so darn loveable. He was truly lucky to have friends that supported him and loved him unconditionally, we couldn’t possibly mention them all, but you know who you are.

He will forever be missed by the love of his life and mother of his children Sandy Vlad, his children Cheyenne, Grayson and Jesse whom he loved like a son, his parents Robert Sterling, Susan McKenzie, predeceased by stepfather Donny McKenzie. Never to be forgotten by his siblings Todd, Angie, William, predeceased by Bobby and his wife Jenn, stepsister April (Al), as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

As much as we are devastated to lose him we take comfort in the fact that he has been reunited with his nephews Christian, Lukey and Leo whom he missed so much. We know he was greeted by his family Bobby, Donny, Dave, Michelle and Colin with a cold drink and his favourite songs.

Donations in his honour we ask to be made to Simcoe Hall Settlement House where his nephews Christian and Lukey enjoyed so much of their time. https://simcoehall.com/donate/

Visitation will be held at the OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME, 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Tuesday September 3, 2024 at 12:30 p.m. until time of Funeral Service in the chapel at 1:30 p.m. Reception to follow at the Moose Lodge 731 Wilson Rd. S. Oshawa.

TSAI, Neveen Judy Tsai - November 29, 1964 – August 27, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce that Neve Tsai (maiden name Howard) passed away in the afternoon of Tuesday, August 27th, 2024, surrounded by the love of her husband, three children, parents and siblings. Neve was born in Calgary, Alberta, on November 29th, 1964. Her family settled in Oakville, Ontario, where she was raised by her parents, Brian and Aideen, and grew up alongside her sister Rochenda and brothers Neil and Phil Howard. Neve went to study English at the University of Toronto, where she met her husband, Dave. It was love at first sight for Dave; he even told his friends that Neve would be the woman he would marry the first time he saw her. As fate would have it, the two married on June 12th, 1993. They welcomed their first child Rochelle in 1995, followed by Erica in 1997 and Liam in 2003. Neve lived a healthy and active lifestyle. She loved playing tennis, reading, being in nature, going to the cottage and travelling. She was actively involved in her children’s sports and loved attending their games. She dreamed of being an author and wrote a romance novel that her children are finishing for her and promised to get published. Neve was a wonderful person and impacted many people around her. Despite doing a lot of good in her lifetime, the accomplishments that she was most proud of were her beautiful marriage to Dave and their three incredible children. Knowing she raised them all to be strong and good people gave her great peace.

Neve never wanted to be remembered as a sick person as she spent the majority of her life extremely healthy. She did, however, want to bring more awareness to metastatic breast cancer. Breast cancer fundraisers are everywhere, but most of the money raised goes toward breast cancer prevention and early detection efforts, with under 5% going towards metastatic breast cancer, even though it causes the majority of breast cancer deaths.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Rethink Breast Cancer, an organization that focuses on women diagnosed at a younger age, those with metastatic breast cancer, and people systematically marginalized due to other factors within the social determinants of health. The website is: https://rethink-breast-cancer.raisely.com/

A private funeral service will be held at Oshawa Funeral Home on Friday, September 6th, at 1:30 in the afternoon. The family will be hosting a celebration of life for Neve at a later date.
