Our mother passed away peacefully at 10:45 p.m. on April 12, 2020 at the Toronto General Hospital after complications from diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease.

She also leaves behind grandchildren Preston, Bobby, Justin, Bradley and Shana, and great-grandchildren, Savannah, Keyon, Brooke, Syah, Charles and James. She is survived by two siblings, Anthony Pinto and Alzira Cooper, of seven children.
She was Born in Karachi, Pakistan of Goan parents. Proud of her Goan ancestry, she could trace her origins back to the very first Goans in Karachi. She remained a Catholic to her final days. She raised five children as a single mother in two countries on two continents.
She was always a fighter. She continued fighting until her last days - more than two weeks past the time they gave her.
The family wishes to acknowledge the care given to her for 10 years by Fudger House, and also the superlative staff at the Toronto General Hospital.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada (www.alzheimer.ca) or the Canadian Diabetes Association (www.diabeted.ca).
