It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Thelma Lillian Werner (née Benson), who passed away on April 16, 2025, at the age of 89. Born on January 16, 1936, Thelma lived a life full of love, dedication, and kindness that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She was the cherished wife of Lloyd Werner, who predeceased her. Together, they raised a family and created memories that will be treasured by their children: Wanda Wilson (Bruce Wilson, deceased), Sandra Werner (deceased), Rozalyn Werner-Arcé (Pedro Arcé), and Jeff Werner (Connie Zieren). Her steadfast love and guidance shaped their lives in immeasurable ways.
Thelma also adored her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother.

She reveled in their successes and celebrated their milestones.
She was the beloved older sister to Joan Benson (deceased) and Jim Benson. Thelma enjoyed her career at the Peel Board of Education, making many friends over the years. She especially loved her time as the front desk secretary at Erindale Secondary School.
A deeply spiritual woman, Thelma found great fulfillment in becoming trained as a Stephen Minister, a lay congregation member offering compassionate care to those facing crisis or life difficulties.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Extendicare Mississauga for their kindness and care over the six years Thelma was a resident.

John de Groot

It is with deep sadness we had to say good-bye to Johannes Antonius Petrus (John) de Groot, who passed peacefully at the age of 86, surrounded by his loving family on April 16, 2025, at the Mariposa House Hospice in Orillia, Ontario.
John was born on April 3, 1939, in Boxmeer, Holland. He immigrated to Canada with his parents and eight siblings in 1952. The de Groot family first settled in the Whitby area, then later in Beaverton. John was a man of many talents, coming from a family of masons and home builders, eventually becoming a licensed electrician and refrigeration mechanic. He founded de Groot Refrigeration and was known for his ability to fix anything. As he would often say, “If you ain’t handsome, then you gotta be handy”—and he was both!
John was the son of the late Johannes (1993) and Maria (1998) de Groot and was predeceased by his siblings Theodorus, Josephine, Peitrus, and Cornelius, as well as in-laws Glen, Kevin, Wilhi, Dave, and Bert.
He leaves behind his loving wife Ursula (Kubart), with whom he shared 59 years of marriage, and their six children: Johnny (Jo), Franky, Ursula (Les), Theresa (Neal), Mike (Rosa), and Liesa (Bud). He was a cherished Opa to grandchildren Nicole (Brayden), Jessica (Fred), Jaime-Leigh, Nigel (Laura), Matthew (Michaela), Alexia, Sarah (Johnny), Cloey (Zach), Micheal, James, and Bella, and Great Opa to Carter, Rylee, Elija, Alexandria, Miya, Johanna, Cooper, Jovi, and Harlow.
John will be dearly missed by his siblings Agnes, Mieke, Petrus, Marijke, Antonia, and Frans (Yvonne), as well as his many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members, many of whom considered him a favourite uncle.
The family extends heartfelt appreciation to the compassionate staff at Oak Terrace and especially the team at Mariposa House Hospice. Their genuine care and the dignity with which John was treated, including blessings from Reverend Jim, will never be forgotten.
Visitation will be held at Mangan Funeral Home (332 Osborne Street, Beaverton, Ontario) on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 12:00 p.m. Interment will follow at St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother whose life was defined by love, hard work, and unwavering dedication to his family. John passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, surrounded by his family at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

John will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, family in Canada & Greece, and countless friends.
John emigrated to Toronto, Canada, in 1956 after growing up in the shadow of WWII and the Civil War in Greece. In search of new opportunities and a brighter future, John made the journey from Greece to Toronto. It was there that he met the love of his life, Anna, while they were both working at the Seaway Hotel. Their connection was instant, and they soon married, beginning a lifelong partnership filled with love, laughter, and resilience.
In 1970, John and Anna settled in Ajax, where they raised their young family and built a life rooted in strong values and community. Together they opened “Texas Burger,” a beloved local restaurant and a cornerstone of their entrepreneurial journey. John was a true visionary – hardworking, fearless, and determined to seize every opportunity to provide for his family. He instilled in his sons a strong work ethic, a sense of pride, and the courage to pursue their dreams.
John had a tremendous sense of humor and a deep love for life’s simple pleasures. He cherished winters spent in Florida, afternoons in his backyard with Greek music filling the air, and dancing joyfully with his family. His presence lit up every room, and his laughter was unforgettable.
A devoted member of Sts. Nectarios and Gerasimos Greek Orthodox Church in Oshawa, John’s faith was a cornerstone of his life, guiding his actions and strengthening his community ties.
John’s legacy lives on through the family he treasured so deeply. He will be remembered for his warmth, his passion, and the unwavering love and determination.
A life well lived. May his memory be eternal.

God's Garden
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on this earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
