Evita Blanco-Malloy

November 6, 1955 – December 3, 2024

It is with profound sadness that the family of Evita Espiritu Blanco-Malloy announces her peaceful passing with her loving family by her side on December 3, 2024, at the age of 69.

Evita will be lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 40 years, Darcy; her children, Hanna, Edward, Michael, and Lillianne, and her grandchildren, Jasmine, Jerika, and Ian. She joins in peace her beloved predeceased children, Angel and Katherine.

Born on November 6, 1955, in Roxas, Isabella, Philippines, Evita demonstrated a deep commitment to helping others with compassion and grace from a young age. She graduated from the University of La Salette in Santiago before furthering her education at the Mary Chiles School of Midwifery at Mary Chiles General Hospital in Manila, completing her studies in 1976. Evita began her professional career in Manila before moving to Hong Kong, where she continued her work. Eventually, she settled in Toronto in 1983, where she met her husband Darcy, and together they built a loving home and family.

Evita’s vibrant personality, sharp wit, and love of laughter made her the life of every party. Passionate, funny, and determined, she approached life with boundless energy and enthusiasm. She had a deep love for sports, gardening, and traveling, but her greatest joy came from her unwavering dedication to her family.

A celebration of Evita’s life will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Thornton Funeral Centre, 1200 Thornton Road N, Oshawa. Visitation will begin at 9:30 AM, followed by the Celebration of Life at 10:30 AM. A graveside service will follow at the adjacent Thornton Cemetery, with a reception afterward at the funeral centre.

Evita’s family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who have shared in her life. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
