McLEOD, Elma Mary Elizabeth (Finnegan) - (September 29, 1939 – October 16, 2020)
It is with aching hearts that we announce the sudden death of our extraordinary mother and grandmother, "Elma" Mary Elizabeth (Finnegan) McLeod - a woman of fierce independence, who lived the many and varied chapters of her 81 years with love, humour and grace.
Her keen strong mind, her love of animals especially her many dogs, her love of family, her love of people, her love of lively current discussion and her abundant sense of service to others during her 30 years of nursing at North York General Hospital Emergency Department, were the hallmarks that drew so many near.
Predeceased by her cherished husband Kenneth of 23 years, her sorrowed but grateful daughter, Susan (David Reynolds); her adored and adoring grandchildren, Meghan, Sarah and Ian, and her brother Sean Finnegan, many nieces and nephews and friends.
As Covid makes gathering impossible at this time, a private family service will be held sometime in the future. Arrangements with Thompson funeral home, Aurora.
Contributions in "Elma's" memory may be made to Toronto Humane Society, www.torontohumanesociety.com
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
