Svala Nicolaison
23-Jan-1932 - 26-Nov-2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Svala Nicolaison on November 26, 2024, at the age of 92 years and ten months. Born in Reykjavík, Iceland, Svala immigrated to Toronto, Canada, in 1970 with her young family. She was a beloved mother to four daughters: Svanhildur (Guðmunder), Iris (Malcolm), Lynn (Alan), and Rós. Svala was also a cherished grandmother to nine, great-grandmother to twelve, and great-great-grandmother to two. She was known for her love of reading, chocolate, and soap operas, and her kindness and generosity touched all who knew her. Predeceased by her husband Guðni Thor, she is deeply missed by her family and friends.
A funeral service will be held on Sunday, December 1st, 2024, at 1:00 PM at McEachnie Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM prior to the service, with a reception to follow from 1:45 PM to 4:00 PM at the McEachnie Family Centre.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a charity of your choice in her honor.
Svala’s generosity and gentle spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
