BLACK, Lena Nora (nee SINCLAIR) - May 9, 1931 – July 16, 2022
Peacefully, after a short illness.
Big sister to Jean, Betty, June and Buster.
Loving wife of Joseph (deceased).
Wonderful mother to Neil, daughter-in-law, Ann MacKinnon, grandson Michael Taurozzi and adoring "GG" to Jackson.
Lena was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer earlier this year and continued to live her life with the same energy, joy, laughter, and friendships that brought her to her 91st year.
Although only 4'8" (and a 1/2, always add the 1/2), she could be a force and was determined to live her remaining time with acceptance and without complaint.
Mom lost her life partner too early but she made it through that heartbreak and shone a bright light through our family gatherings and celebrations.
As a son, I could not have asked for a more loving, supportive, and fiercely proud mother. We (and mom) would like to express our deep thanks to Dr. Risa Bordman for her skill, her friendship and for making sure mom made it to 91.
In accordance with her wishes, there will be no formal service, but a Celebration of her Life is planned for August 7th, at Neil and Ann's home in downtown Toronto.
Mom knew that and her only ask of you would be that when you next smile, or laugh out loud, that you think of her. She always loved a good laugh.
