We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved mother, Vida Srebotnjak, at the age of 97. Vida was taken from us on Christmas morning, December 25, 2024. She lived a remarkable life journey, filled with love, resilience, and joy.
Born on a farm in the small village of Jurkloster, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia) in 1927, Vida lived through the German occupation during World War II. In 1948, she met her future husband, Andrej, on a hillside near her home. They married in 1949, building a life together that eventually brought them to Canada in 1955. Together, they raised five children and built a loving home filled with warmth and happiness.
Vida was the unwavering anchor of her family. She was adored by her children, Andrea (John), Tina (Brian), Tony (Arlene), David (Jolene), and son-in-law Jim. She cherished her grandchildren, Leslie (Bruce), Adam (Kate), John (Stephanie), Nicole, Emily, and Katie (Kevin), as well as her great-grandchildren, Alexa, Ashley, Nolan, Breeana, Michael, and Madelyn. She was predeceased by her husband Andrej (2006) and her beloved first-born daughter, Rose, whom she mourned with strength and grace.
The family is deeply grateful to the compassionate staff at Agecare Westbury for their care over the past two years, and especially to her personal caregivers, Ivy, James, and Joy, who spent countless hours providing comfort and companionship.
The family will receive condolences on Monday, January 6, 2025, from 10 to 11 a.m. at Turner and Porter Funeral Directors, Toronto. A chapel service will follow at 11 a.m., with a private burial thereafter.

On December 21st, 2024, the matriarch of our family and creator of the best and runniest butter tarts in the world, Lillian Patricia Davison (Powell), passed away just 3 days short of her 94th birthday. Wife, mother of four, grandmother of seven, and great-grandmother of twelve, she leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.
Mom was born to Les and Ella Powell on December 24, 1930, in Port Dover. As a 2 lb. preemie born at home, she came out fighting and left us the same way. Before her marriage, she worked at the local Dominion store in Port Dover. On August 9th, 1950, she married her childhood sweetheart, Jack (Scotty) Davison, and together they raised two sons, Jim (Jane) and Jack (Sue), and two daughters, Pat (Roman) and Nancy.
Throughout her life, Lillian made a home in several Ontario towns and cities, including Port Dover, Peterborough, Orillia, Tillsonburg, Islington, Goderich, and Mississauga. She was an avid bowler with several trophies to her name, a dedicated Blue Jays fan, and a passionate gardener. Her handmade knitting and crochet creations remain treasures cherished by her family and friends.
Lillian's love and care for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were unparalleled. She took immense pride in their activities and milestones, maintaining a detailed birthday list and always lending a helping hand. Her unwavering support and fierce protection of her loved ones will forever be remembered.
Many thanks to the staff of Credit Valley Hospital for their wonderful care and support. Mom has been cremated (Turner & Porter, Mississauga) and will be laid to rest with Dad in a joint service later this spring. The date will be determined.
