WEBER, Anna Louise (nee Kentrat) -
APRIL 28, 1933 – JUNE 21, 2024

We are saddened to share the news of the passing of our much loved mom and Oma, Anna Louise Weber at Campbell House Hospice in Collingwood, Ontario in the early morning hours of June 21st, 2024.

Anna was born in Pannaugen (formerly East Prussia), April 28, 1933 and immigrated to Canada in 1957 where she made a life in Oshawa with husband, Eugen who predeceased her in 2002.

Best mom ever to Annette (affectionately known as Pusti) and #1 son-in-law, Glenn; beloved Oma to the sunshine of her life, Zoe and favourite person of our cat, Harley (sorry, Zoe!). Survived by son, Eugen (Donna) of Oshawa and family in Germany (Dietmar, Karin, Manfred, Annemarie and children).

Loved by her extended Cunningham family who welcomed her into the fold as one of their own from the moment Glenn came on the scene.

Mom was an integral part of our family having lived with us in Whitby for 13 years prior to making the move to Collingwood in 2019. Known to all as Oma, you couldn’t help but smile when she crossed your path walking the neighbourhood daily (save for icy and rainy days).

She loved the life, adventures and vacations we shared, as did we. Mom, hope your final journey includes a BBQ’ed burger, a Pink Whitney martini and a smooth ride in the red Porsche with your dearest sister, Greta by your side.

Special thanks to some of the wonderful doctors and nurses at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital who cared for mom including Dr. Peter Holloway, Dr. David Beisel, Dr. Jack Ceaser and the many nurses and PSW’s (among them: Breanne, Cynthia, Emma, Jenna, Katie, Chris).

If you’d like to honour mom’s memory, we ask that you please consider making a donation to Campbell House Hospice in Collingwood. https://hospicegeorgiantriangle.com/#/

GALLIAH, Michelle Galliah -
FEBRUARY 3, 1973 – JUNE 15, 2024

On June 15th, 2024, Michelle passed away peacefully surrounded by love. Michelle was known for her keen wit, humour, her deep compassion and her empathy.

She took her strongest attributes and made it her career by bringing laughter and comfort to others while caring for them in their time of need. Live music and the Blue Jays were her favourite way to spend time with her friends.

The only advantage of being told that you have a short time left here is the opportunity to spend those days with the people you love. It’s hours of cuddling with your children, watching the movies that brought you joy, retelling of stories and saying all the things you want to say to each other.

Michelle was predeceased by her loving parents, Pat and Perry, her brother and best friend, Colin, and many other family and friends she deeply missed. It brought her peace that she would be reunited with them.

To paraphrase something her mom said to her in a dream days before she passed, she was happy to be going, she was sad to be going.

Michelle is survived by her dear children Jacob (Jennifer), Aaron, Hannah and the absolute joy of her last year her granddaughter Violet, her stepfather Robert (Kathy), her siblings, Arlene, Nico (Lorne), Sarah, Garry, and Emma, her grandmother, Helen, her “Ant” Sherry, her sister in laws Angie, Nadine, and Alyssa, her lifelong friends, Shelley, Michelle, and Melanie, and many much-loved nieces and nephews.

Sweet girl, we will meet again on the other side and enjoy the Soup Du Jour together.

Visitation will be held at OSHAWA FUNERAL HOME , 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Monday, June 24th from 12:30 p.m. until time of funeral service in the chapel at 1:30 p.m.

A reception will be held at 500 Mayfair Ave in Oshawa following the service. In lieu of flowers, Michelle has requested donations be made to Simcoe Hall Settlement House.
