Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Natalia Furda.  Natalia passed away peacefully on November 5th, 2023 at the age of 87.  She was predeceased by her husband Mijahlo and leaves behind her three loving children, Anna, Christina (Elio), and Johnny (Anita).  Natalia was the most loving Baba to her four grandchildren, Victor (Ailish), Terra (Ryan), Cassidy, and Riley, and great-Baba to Verity and Daphne.   
Natalia always led with her heart and faith.  Natalia was the happiest being with her family and grateful for all the friendships she made over the years. She will be greatly missed by all.    
Natalia's family is so thankful for the love, unwavering support, and boundless care that the Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre (UCCC) extended to her during her stay.

My deepest condolences to you Chris and your entire family. It was always great hearing stories about your mom and looked forward to our talks and the updates on her. I never got the privilege in meeting her, but felt like I knew her through the stories you shared. I knew how amazing, kind hearted, and loving she was just based on how Chris is as a person so I can only imagine how truly great your mom was. My heart goes out to you all during this time. May she rest eternally in peace and always in your hearts

Baba, It's impossible to express just how much you will be missed and the sense of loss we all feel without you being with us any longer. The void left in our hearts is immeasurable and your absence will leave an emptiness in us that we can never replace, a testament to how much you meant to us and the extraordinary person you were. You were an inspiration to us all, a shining example of a good-natured soul with a heart of gold. Your wisdom, kindness, and unwavering love have touched each and every one of us in ways that words can never convey. Your life's journey, filled with stories of resilience and determination as you embarked on a new life in Canada, continues to motivate us to strive for our dreams and overcome life's challenges. If we could put into words the legacy you've left behind, it would be the greatest story of all time. Your ability to make everyone feel welcome, to create a warm and loving presence wherever you went, was a gift that we will forever cherish. It was as though your presence lit up any room, and your laughter was a melody that brought joy to all our hearts. Our memories with you will continue to fill our hearts with warmth and comfort. You've woven a tapestry of love, unity, and resilience that binds us together, and your spirit will live on in each of us. Your life was a monument to the power of love, and we are forever grateful for the love and wisdom you bestowed upon us. As we celebrate our memories of you, we take solace in knowing that they will remain a guiding light, reminding us to be kind, welcoming, and loving just as you were. You've provided us with fulfillment in our lives and touched our lives in ways that words cannot express, and for that, we are forever grateful. We will miss you, always and forever. Your love and legacy will continue to inspire and guide us always and forever. Love you always and forever, Terra & Ryan
