It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Irene Daly on January 26, 2025. She was the loving wife of the late Frank W. Daly and a devoted mother to Leanna, Gary, Straun, and Tyrone.

Irene was a cherished grandmother to Morgan Taylor and Mackenzie Daly and a proud great-grandmother to Aubrey Taylor. She will be deeply missed by her siblings William, Robert, and Zan. She was predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Annie Dzikewich.

Irene will always be remembered by her family and friends. As a wife, mother, sister, daughter, cousin, aunt, and friend, she was loving, true, and trustworthy. She was always ready to listen and offer help whenever needed. A strong, resilient, and beautiful woman, Irene was tenacious, respectful, and kind.

A special mention is given to her son, Straun Daly, who cared for Irene in her home for 21 years. She often expressed that she would not have lived as long without his love and dedication.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Richard “Rick” Saxton on January 17, 2025, at the age of 71. Rick was a man of integrity—loyal, hardworking, and endlessly generous.

She was predeceased by her beloved son, Michael James, her sister Joan Hirst, her brother Thomas Quirt, and her parents Leona Quirt (Holm) and William Quirt.

Born in Cochrane, Ontario, Etta moved to various towns and cities across the province throughout her life. She was a firecracker who squeezed every bit of enjoyment out of life. In addition to cherishing time with family, she pursued many hobbies over the years. Etta was a talented painter, cook, baker, and golfer. She also had a deep love for fashion and shopping, embracing her vibrant style right up to the end.

A special thank you to all the PSWs, nurses, and staff at The Village of Taunton Mills in Whitby for their love, dedication, and care over the past 11 years, as well as to the staff at Riverview Gardens in Chatham, where she lived for four years prior. Etta considered the staff her extended family and treasured the friendships she made.

Jean (Janina) Chasiak (née Krasowska)

December 8, 1921 - January 23, 2025

In Loving Memory Of Jean Chasiak
Our dear Jean Chasiak passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends, on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at the age of 103. Jean was a beloved sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, godmother, aunt, and friend.

Born in Poland on December 8, 1921, Jean was the second youngest of seven children born to the late Karolina and Michael Krasowska. At the age of 18, she was enlisted to work in a factory in Germany during WWII. After the war, in 1948, she reunited with her husband Walter (predeceased in 1975) in Canada, where they built a home and a loving family.

She was a devoted mother to Mary (Bill) and the late Donna (2019) (Ken), a cherished grandmother to Teresa (Mahdy), Carol (Keron), Jackie (Ron), and Steven (Jessine), and a proud great-grandmother to Sheridan, Alex, Alyssa, Rylee, Austin, Hannah, Olivia, and Leah. Jean will always be remembered by her many nieces, especially Christine and Susan, nephews, cousins, and friends in Canada, Poland, and the USA.

A devout Catholic, Jean was a longtime member of Holy Family Parish in Whitby and the Catholic Women’s League. Her faith was a source of strength, and her family finds comfort knowing she is at peace in the hands of the Lord.

For all who knew Jean, she will be remembered for her incredible Polish cooking—her cabbage rolls, perogies, and meat sticks were unmatched. She loved sewing, gardening, and selflessly helping others. Family was always her priority, and her warmth and kindness will never be forgotten.

Even as she faced the challenges of dementia, Jean joyfully celebrated her 103rd birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s with a smile on her face and a champagne glass in her hand.
