Natalie Wajs Rashkovan

Monday, December 16, 2024

Peacefully and surrounded by family after facing pancreatic cancer with resilience and strength, our family is devastated by the loss of our matriarch, Natalie Wajs Rashkovan.

Natalie was the devoted wife of 33 years to David Rashkovan. She was the beloved daughter and daughter-in-law of Helen (z”l) and Philip Wajs, and Freda (z”l) and Ernie (z”l) Rashkovan.

Loving mother and mother-in-law to Brennan and Rebecca, and Luke and Jillian, and doting “Lili” to Asher. Cherished sister and sister-in-law to Richard and Marcy Wajs, Barry and Tracey Rashkovan, and Michael and Liane Eliesen.

Natalie will be deeply missed by her many nieces, nephews, and the numerous friends whose lives she touched so profoundly. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she truly believed that it was better to give than to receive.

Natalie lived life to the fullest, enjoying time with her family, friends, her beloved cat Sammy, and grand-dog Brody. Her leadership and kindness left an indelible mark on those fortunate to know her, and her legacy will continue through her family and friends.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to Rick and Jeff for their care, Natalie’s home-care nurse Mahmood for his visits, and the oncology and palliative care teams at Sunnybrook Hospital.

Memorial Donations: Donations may be made in Natalie’s memory to the Sunnybrook Foundation by calling 416-480-4483 or visiting their website.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Benjamin’s Park Memorial Chapel.
