A beacon of laughter and love, left this world on June 22, 2025, the day of her 57th birthday.

Vanessa was the loving mother to three wonderful sons, Erik, Duncan, and Harry, who were the pride and joy of her life. She raised them with an abundance of love and a unique sense of humor that filled their home with laughter. As the cherished daughter of Olga and Warren, Vanessa inherited a kind heart and a nurturing spirit that she shared generously with everyone she met. Her siblings, Chesley and Noelle, will remember her as a dear sister who was always there to offer support, share a joke, or lend a listening ear.

Beyond her immediate family, Vanessa was a beloved mother and grandmother to her adopted family, whose lives she touched with the same warmth and affection she gave her own children.

Vanessa’s interests were a reflection of her loving nature. She had a talent for crocheting, creating beautiful pieces that were infused with her care and attention to detail. These creations became cherished keepsakes for those who received them, tangible expressions of her love and creativity.

Her kind and loving nature was evident in every aspect of her life. Vanessa’s ability to make everyone around her feel valued and loved was one of her most remarkable qualities. Her laughter was infectious, her smile could light up a room, and her sense of humor was truly one of a kind. She had a knack for finding joy in the simple things and could turn any moment into a memorable one.
