SCHRAM, Marcella Leone (Tretiak) - It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Leone on October 26, 2020.
Leone was the loving wife of John for 50 years, the devoted mother of Michael and Kelsey (Chris Jenkins), and grandmother of Noa and Henry.
She is also survived by her sister Adeline (Will Hyswick) and bothers Ernie Tretiak and Eugene Tretiak (Linda), and many nephews and nieces.
Leone was born in Canora, Saskatchewan to Mike and Lena Tretiak. She was raised in Yorkton where she was a renown local figure skater, coach and ice carnival manager.
She moved to Ottawa in 1966 to begin a 10-year career with General Motors. One year later she was transferred to Toronto and then to Boston in 1973.
They moved to Boston in 1973, back to Toronto in 1974, to Hanover, New Hampshire in 1983, to Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1986, and back to Toronto in 1991.
Leone was a devoted Catholic and spent much of her time to helping those in need. She volunteered for the Good Shepard, Covenant House, Out of the Cold, Second Harvest, and the Martin County School District in Florida. She was extremely humble, always putting others’ needs before her own, making anyone that knew her feel valued and loved.
But Leone’s true passion was her family which she valued above all else.
Due to Covid 19, a small private Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday, November 3. In the spring, a larger Celebration of Leone’s Life will be held at Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca).
