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.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Milton Douglas, who passed away on April 2, 2025, at the age of 79. Milton was a man of quiet strength, integrity, and deep kindness, whose legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

Milton was born in Layou, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, to Nancy Elizabeth Francis and Phillip Douglas. His hometown always remained close to his heart, and it was here where he began his career as a school teacher, reflecting his passion for knowledge and his calm, thoughtful demeanor. Though his speech impediment was a challenge, Milton faced it with grace and dignity, never allowing it to define him.

In 1966, Milton moved to the United Kingdom to further his studies in engineering, and later, in 1973, he moved to Canada, where he lived for many years. Throughout his life, Milton was an embodiment of resilience, kindness, and humility, always valuing connection over accolades and building a life rich in love and integrity.

In 1977, Milton married Viona Williams. Later, in 2010, he married Cora Ann Mardenborough, with whom he built a beautiful home in the lush Buccament Valley, called Cane Grove. This home became a haven of peace and hospitality, where many cherished memories were made with friends and family.

Milton is survived by his two sisters, Mrs. Vivian Pitt-Dowers in Brooklyn, USA, and Mrs. Sheila Richardson in Vermont, SVG. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Mr. Euston Hamblett, sister-in-law Mrs. Georgie Francis, and many other family members and friends in the UK, USA, Canada, and SVG.

Milton was a man who didn’t chase titles, but instead built a legacy of loyalty, love, and wisdom. His quiet strength and kindness will never be forgotten by his family, friends, and students.

A Time of Remembrance for Milton will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at McEachnie Funeral Home Chapel. For those unable to attend in person, the service will be live-streamed at the following link: Milton Douglas Reflections Live Stream.

Susan was born in Welland, Ontario, to Walter and Dorothy Pychyl. Her childhood was filled with love, support, and encouragement from her parents and her beloved older brother, Tim Pychyl (Beth Rohr).

In 1983, Susan met the love of her life, Duncan, at Queen’s University. They married on October 1 of that year, and together they built a beautiful life filled with love and adventure. Susan dedicated herself to raising their four children: Ian (Julia Winters), Andrea, Victoria (Andrew MacIsaac), and Emily (Graham Reid). She was actively involved in their lives, coaching soccer, attending school events, and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small.

In addition to her role as a devoted mother, Susan had a successful career, co-owning a clothing boutique, becoming a personal trainer, and later excelling as a top-selling travel agent. Her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication were evident in everything she did.

Later in life, Susan discovered a love for travel, embarking on adventures to Morocco, Vietnam, Cambodia, and beyond. Alongside Duncan, she enjoyed their travels together, relishing in the beauty of the world while continuing to build a lifetime of memories.

Born in Bratislava, Slovakia, on August 9, 1948, Zuzana had a lifelong bond with her classmates from her school years in Mathematics. She earned a Doctorate in Mathematics, Psychology, and Political Science from Comenius University and became a highly respected mathematics professor. Zuzana’s passion for teaching and her dedication to her students were well known and admired.

In 1986, Zuzana immigrated to Canada with her three children in search of a better life. She opened a daycare in her home, nurturing and caring for many children, with the help of her mother, affectionately known as "Babinka." Later, she managed a family-owned variety store for over a decade, becoming a beloved member of her community.

Zuzana’s greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and the delicious aromas of her cooking and baking. She enjoyed gardening, playing canasta, following politics, and watching Turkish TV shows. Despite facing many health challenges throughout her life, Zuzana showed remarkable resilience, always supporting her family with warmth and grace.

In her final years, Zuzana was in and out of hospitals and spent the last four months of her life at Toronto General Hospital. Despite her struggles, she remained full of warmth, gratitude, and her signature kindness. She became affectionately known as “the chocolate lady” for her habit of sharing chocolates with those who cared for her.

Zuzana’s legacy of love, strength, and generosity will live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the UHN Foundation (Peter Munk Cardiac Centre) in gratitude for the compassionate care Zuzana received. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
