April 10, 1933 – December 25, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gloria Kanaris, who passed away peacefully on December 25, 2025, at the age of 92. Born on April 10, 1933, Gloria lived a long and meaningful life devoted to her family.

Gloria was predeceased by her beloved husband, who passed on September 28, 2025. After a lifetime shared together, it brings comfort to know they are now reunited.

She will be deeply missed by her loving children: Jim Kanaris (wife Mary), Mary Harvey (partner Nick Panos), and Peter Kanaris (wife Carrie).

Gloria was a proud and devoted grandmother to Adam Kanaris (wife Carolyn), Layla Kanaris (partner Paul Viles), Amanda Harvey, Nicolas Harvey, and Oceana Kanaris. She was also a cherished great-grandmother to Myelle and Griffin (children of Adam and Carolyn), Daphney and Georgia (children of Layla and Paul), Lucas (son of step-granddaughter Rose Parise and husband Rob), and Jeanette, Juliana, and Albert (children of step-granddaughter Alia Abdo and husband Steve).

Gloria will be remembered for the way she poured her whole heart into her family. Her warmth, her laughter, and the pure joy she felt whenever she was surrounded by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Her legacy will continue to shine through the generations she cherished so deeply.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada in memory of Gloria Kanaris
