Patricia Mary (Wilson) Ray

May 25, 1943 ~ April 23, 2025 (age 81)

Patricia Mary Ray (Wilson) of Port Perry, ON, passed away on April 23, 2025, at the age of 81, after a long battle with lung disease. She died peacefully at Lakeridge Health Port Perry with her family by her side.

Pat was the daughter of Gerard Wilson and Mary Parker (Banfield). She was married to Lorne Ray, who predeceased her in 1990. Mourning her passing are her children Kelly Spencer (Mark) of St. Catharines and Jodi Atkinson (Phil) of Port Perry. She was the cherished Nana of Jocelyn (Matt), Thomas, Caitlyn, and William.

Pat will be dearly missed by her brothers and sisters: Gerry Wilson (Maureen), David Parker (Terry), Tina Parker, Joe Parker (Celine), Stephen Parker, and Kathy Parker. She is also fondly remembered by brothers and sisters-in-law: Stewart Lowry (Patti), Billy Lowry (Carol-Ann), Jean Crawford, Ted Donaldson, and Karen Martin (Richard); as well as her many nieces and nephews, and long-time friends.

Patricia was born in Toronto on May 25, 1943; she was a beautiful baby. As a young woman, she moved to Bancroft with Lorne, whom she first met on a beach in Toronto. After having their two daughters, they built their home and settled in the little town of Cardiff. Pat went back to school at age 43 to earn her RPN diploma, fulfilling a lifelong dream. After Lorne's passing, she returned to the Toronto area to be closer to her mother and siblings. In 2005, she moved to Port Perry, where she worked at the Manor and provided in-home care to many families. She loved living in Port Perry, as it reminded her of Bancroft.

The family would like to thank the Lakeridge Health Port Perry team, who treated Pat and her family with care and respect. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life in Port Perry will be announced at a later date. Interment will take place at Zion United Church Cemetery in Hybla.

Frank Rioux

April 21, 1948 – April 15, 2025

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Frank Rioux in his 77th year on April 15, 2025, following a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Frank embraced all that was fun in life and had a very generous spirit.

Frank held many jobs throughout his career, including service at a young age with the RCAF. Most recently, he retired at age 72 from Mississauga Transit, where he loved to share stories, jokes, or simply lend a listening ear to his passengers. After discovering his Irish roots later in life, Frank proudly embraced his heritage and often joked about having "the gift of the gab," attributing it to his ancestry.

Frank loved the outdoors and often spoke fondly of the peaceful times spent at his trailer in Reflections R.V. Park near Utopia. He is survived by his children, Chantelle (Aaron) Hart and Shawn (Joline) Dunlop, and his five grandsons, of whom he was incredibly proud. Frank will be greatly missed by his companion, Rose Cuzzolino, whose care, support, and patience were invaluable during his last year. Frank often said that Rose was his angel.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Princess Margaret Hospital for their expertise and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation in Frank's memory.
