Alexandra North, affectionately known as “Sandie” by her friends and family, passed away at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on December 26, 2023.
Sandie was cremated at her bequest locally at Windsor Memorial Gardens on December 30th, 2023 with only a small private family gathering requested.
Born a proud Scot, Sandie immigrated to Canada in 1987 after sixteen years in Australia for a new start and to be with family.
Proud mother and grandmother, remembered fondly by daughter Tracey & Mark Teague, along with their children Talia Fitzan, Ambriehl Teague, Tenaya Gardner, Quiana Teague and Lyshae Teague. Cherished and survived by her sons Jeff and Steven, along with his daughter Ashaea North.
.
Sandie will be dearly missed by her sister, June and Dave Stark, with their children Lindsay and David Stark. Sandie's Roadtrek/RV and Mini Lakes community had to say goodbye prematurely when she moved to Blenheim to be with her son and his wife in her final five months. They can finally say goodbye to her in conjunction with her wonderful friends and co-workers from Go Transit.
A Celebration of Life event will be held at Elgin Mills Funeral Centre in Richmond Hill on January 27th from 1pm to 5pm.
Eulogies or guest speakers are welcome at 3pm. There will be some small pastries, fruit trays, tea, coffee and water available for guests.
The Celebration of Life is an informal, non religious gathering of individuals where you may meet the family, friends and acquaintances and regale a story or moment in which you remembered or celebrated Sandie in the prime of her life. We would love to see you there and welcome any shared thoughts.
We strongly encourage you to take a moment upon visitation to make an entry of a story, comment or notation in her remembrance book so the family may have a memento of the lives our Mum touched.
Sandie’s wishes were to receive donations in lieu of flowers, to either the Chatham-Kent Hospice, who provided a beautiful end of life transition or the Cancer Society of Canada.
Respectfully if flowers are to be sent on the day, there is to be no lilies. Flowers can be sent the day of up to 1pm preferably.
We all hold and have a place in our hearts for Sandie as we move forward during this time.
Sincerely,
Jeff on behalf of the Family
