MORIYAMA, Sachiko "Sachi" (nee MIYAUCHI) -
October 14, 1931, Vancouver - June 22, 2024, Toronto
With great sadness we announce that Sachi Moriyama, wife of the late Raymond Moriyama, passed away quietly and peacefully with her family by her side at Bridgepoint Hospital, in the early evening of Saturday, June 22, 2024.
Predeceased by her parents, Shizuo and Tomiko Miyauchi and Tameji and Tsuruko Miyauchi; younger brother, David Miyauchi (Betty); sister-in-law, Joan Hatashita (John); brother-in-law, Kenichi Takigawa (Irene).
Sachi will be deeply missed by her loving family: her sisters, Totsy (Sway), Judy, Irene, and Betty; brother-in-law, John; sister-in-law, Margie; her five children, Michi (Joan), Murina, Midori (Loubert), Jason (Munhee), and Ajon; her precious ten grandchildren, Jessica (Evan), Stephanie (Donald), Steven (Melody), Jacquie (Jackson), Mason (Nicole), Michael (Giulia), James, Mariko (Daniel), Lauren, Akiko and Seah; her two awe-inspiring great-grandchildren, Tristan and Conway; her many Nieces, Nephews, Great-nieces, Great-nephews and extended relatives . . . as well as her many dear friends.
Sachi was a soft-spoken, loving, generous, intuitive, gentle soul. She was the the inspirational muse to her late husband Raymond for over ninety-one years (they first met when he was just two years old and she was just two months old: it was love at first sight!).
Sachi was truly One of a Kind; she will be forever missed and fondly remembered for her beauty, gentleness, grace, generosity, thoughtfulness, calm, kindness, consistency, uncanny intuition, and inclusive open-minded nature.
Our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the many wonderful caregivers, medical and support staff at St Michael's Hospital and Bridgepoint Hospital; and very special thanks to Dr Wm Sullivan, Dr Tsang, Nurses Yodit and Anna.
Vistation and Funeral will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 375 Mount Pleasant Road. Visitations: Sunday, July 14th, 2:00-4:00 and 6:00-8:00 p.m. Funeral: Monday, July 15th, 10:30 a.m. Preceded by a brief Visitation from 9:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, consider a donation to the Toronto Buddhist Church, Moriyama Nikkei Heritage Centre or the charity of your choosing.
