It is with great sorrow, but firm faith in God's promises, that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Mother Ji, Mona Mal, of Whitby, Ontario on September 9. She was 78 years old. She was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, whose life was marked by love, generosity, and unwavering faith.

Born on January 1, 1946 in Uttar Pradesh, India, Mona lived a life of selfless service to her family and community. Mona lost her parents, Harry and Isabella Smith, at a young age, and was raised by her aunt and adopted family. Mona attended high school in Meerut, India after which she completed a Bachelor's Degree and Master’s Degree in Sanskrit before embarking on an impactful teaching career.

Mona married Stephen Mal in January 1978. During their 46 years of marriage they had two children, Peter and Naomi (Shobha). Mona and Stephen lived in Halifax, NS from 1978 to 2009 where she was known for her generous hospitality, kindness and love which she manifested in their home, church, business and community. In 2009, they moved to Ontario to be closer to family.

Her faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of her life, and she devoted herself to sharing His love with everyone around her through her kind words, generous actions, and quiet prayers.

She is survived by her children: Shobha (Rob), Peter (Melodie), Don (Kathy), Noel (Shelley), Bala (Rajan), Mina (Shekar), Nina (Aijaz). As Dadi and Nani (grandmother) she brought joy, wisdom, and unconditional love to her many grandchildren (Shyla, Sean, Shabana, Amy, Jessica, Mark, Sarina, Rachel, Josh, Amiyah, Asha, Simeon, Ethan, Jacob, Nash, Revival, Matthew and Jamie) and great grandchildren who were the light of her life.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but we find comfort in the knowledge that she is resting in the arms of her Savior. Her legacy of faith, love, and kindness will live on in the hearts of her family and all who were blessed to know her.

ZYLSTRA, Sharon Ann Zylstra - 6-Sep-1945 - 11-Sep-2024

Sharon passed away peacefully on September 11, 2024, just days after celebrating her 79th birthday.
Sharon was fiercely loved by her friends and family and a source of inspiration to all her neighbours. She was affectionately known as "the bike lady". On good weather days she could be found riding around celebrating her freedom on her beloved three-wheeler bike.

Predeceased by her father Arthur Ernest Winger and mother Helen Ann Winger (nee Pyle). She is survived by her husband and best friend, Frank, her four children, Melissa (Nemec), Matthew, Louise and Irene (Dunlop), six beloved grandchildren Beatrix, Benjamin, Henry, Hannah, Ellee, and Claire, and her wonderful clan of 9 siblings and their spouses.

As the eldest daughter, Sharon quickly became her mother's helper and initiated her into a life of service, which also played out in her professional life as an operating room nurse and wife to her beloved partner, Frank. Her faith-based values and constant support influenced the lives of her dear children, as from her perspective, motherhood was the most valuable gift in this lifetime.
Her kind-heartedness, love for people and a contagious smile translated into constant chats and enlightened spirits. Constantly caring for her home and husband, she was also known to dote over her beloved grandchildren and took great pleasure in helping them discover the world around them, which included cooking lessons and spoiling them with treats including the family-famous banana chocolate chip muffins.

While she left us far too soon, we take comfort in knowing she is now with her lord and those who we have loved and lost.

The family kindly asks that you remember Sharon as a source of love and an example of a life lived in alignment to her unwavering faith in Jesus.

Donations may be made in Sharon's name to her spiritual home, Melville Presbyterian Church (link).

Visitation, Funeral and reception services will be held on Monday September 16 at Melville Presbyterian Church, Old Kingston Road, Scarborough, Ontario.
A more intimate service will follow for family and loved ones unable to travel, on Tuesday September 17 at Hyde and Mott Chapel, Hagersville, Ontario, followed by internment at the Springvale Cemetery and reception at Springvale United Church.

Forever in our hearts. Visit at McEachnie Funeral Home.

Those we love we never lose,
 For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

SPELLEN, Carole Andrea Spellen (Brown) - Thursday, January 7th, 1937 - Sunday, September 8th, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carole Andrea Spellen (nee Brown) who died peacefully on September 8, 2024 at the Oshawa Lakeridge Health Center.

Carole was born on January 7, 1937 in Toronto, and was raised in a loving, vibrant and busy home by dedicated parents, William and Heloise Brown (deceased).

Fortunate enough to be surrounded in love by a large family, she was predeceased by her beloved brother William (Gus) Brown and sister Adele Bryce (Bob deceased). She is survived by her siblings Judy Muzzi (Bill deceased), Stephen Brown (Barbara) and cherished sister-in-law Diana Knowles.

In August 1961, she married Charles (Chuck) Spellen and together they built a caring and supportive household with their children Melissa Spellen (Walter Leahy) and Anthony Spellen. Their marriage spanned over 6 decades, and together with Chuck, they formed an impressive team who routinely transformed their home into a beautiful space where flawless entertaining was routine and effortlessly executed to the delight of friends and family.

Her passing will leave a tremendous void in the lives of her numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family: Auntie Carole loved all of them and nothing made her happier than having a gathering of family and friends together with her and Chuck at their home on Bowman in Whitby.

As a proud graduate of the University of Toronto in 1959, Carole accepted a position as a high school teacher and was very fortunate to meet fellow new teacher, a young and dashing Chuck Spellen, in her first teaching assignment at Donovan Collegiate in Oshawa.

In addition to raising her children, Carole owned her own successful decorating business with her partners, and guided her clients to visualize and express their own individual aesthetic. Active in her community, Carole volunteered and assisted many organizations over the years, most recently working with Community Care Durham. Carole enjoyed curling for many years and her competitive and spirited approach to the game garnered many accolades. She was also very involved with regular bridge games played with dear friends for over 60 years.

Carole's kindness and willingness to help others in need was fundamentally part of her nature. She will be greatly missed.

Please join us for a celebration of Carole’s life at Barnes Memorial Funeral Home, 5295 Thickson Road North, Whitby, ON. Visitation will take place at 11:00 am up until the time of service at 12:00 pm in the chapel. A reception to follow.

Kindly consider donations in lieu of flowers to ALS Society of Canada and Community Care Durham, in memory of Carole.
