After a valiant fight, our amazing Amelia left us far too soon. Beloved spouse of Nicholas McIvor, cherished daughter of Eleanor (Ellie) Ruthven, dear niece of Jo-Anne Barber. Mourned by her father, Finian Nelson and the extended Ruthven, Barber and Nelson families. Much loved by a wide circle of friends and colleagues. Amelia’s career was in children’s animation as a production, development and marketing co-ordinator. Her talents, interests and passions were diverse and eclectic: the arts (music, art, drama and film), international travel, animals (from her pet Betta fish to African wildlife), children’s literature and social justice - particularly feminist, LGBTQ+ youth and BIPOC causes. Amelia shared her gift as a skillful and insightful writer on various online platforms and blogs; she shared herself unconditionally with everyone she met. Special thanks to the medical teams at Princess Margaret, Mount Sinai and Hennick Bridgepoint Hospitals for their expert and compassionate care. Donations to the World Wildlife Fund Canada (wwf.ca) or Wanasah (wanasah.ca), a non-profit organization devoted to the mental health of Black youth and their families would be appreciated.
