TAYLOR, Sara (nee RIX) - It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to our beloved Sara Taylor, who passed away at the age of 89, on Sunday, February 25, 2024.
She entered this world in Georgetown, Guyana, on October 16, 1934, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and boundless kindness.
Sara, affectionately known as "Granny Sara," was the cornerstone of our family.
She brought warmth and joy wherever she went, lighting up the room with her infectious laughter and unwavering spirit.
Her love knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment spent with her late husband, John; her children, Anne and Joe; their spouses, Emilio Polsinelli and Sandra; and her grandchildren, Victoria, Ryan, and Sean.
A true community champion, after a long career, during her retirement, Sara dedicated 25 years of her life to volunteering, embodying the spirit of service that earned her The Queen's Medal for Voluntary Service — a badge of honor she wore with immense pride.
Her generosity knew no bounds, and her selflessness touched countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As the youngest of nine children born to Sara and Archie Rix, Sara held a special place in the hearts of her siblings (Agnes, Joyce, Sister Rosanne, Marjory, Jean, John, Dennis, and Raymond); nieces, and nephews.
She was the glue that held the family together, weaving a tapestry of love and memories that will endure for generations to come.
Family and friends may visit at Ward Funeral Home, Woodbridge Chapel, 4671 Hwy. #7, Woodbridge, Thursday, February 29, 2024, from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. Funeral Mass to be held at St. Jane Frances Church, 2747 Jane St., North York, ON M3L 2E8, (north of Sheppard Ave. W., at Stanley Rd.), Friday, March 1, 2024, at 9:30 a.m.
