It is with great sadness that we, the Inose-Tsaparis family, wish to inform you of the passing of Kaye Kikuko Inose (Tokawa) in the comfort of her home on December 8, 2017. After 93 years of a life well lived, being the beloved wife of the late James Inose, much loved mother and mother-in-law of Cheryl and Paul, cherished Bachan of Alex, and devoted Auntie Kaye to many nieces and nephews and their families, Kaye peacefully fell into a deep sleep and is now being reunited with her husband Jimmy and her siblings Torao, Minoru (Tose), Hisako (Saburo), Matahara, Haruno, Arata (Timi), Toru (Betty), Hiruko, Osamu (Yuki), and Kazuko.

Kaye was born in Vancouver, B.C. on September 29, 1924. Being one of the youngest of a large family, Kaye maintained her "young at heart" spirit throughout her life. She was a very supportive person who hosted family gatherings and lovingly cared for many nieces and nephews over the years. Her passion in life was unquestionably her love in being with her grandson everyday and to be surrounded by family and friends daily, during holidays, and other social gatherings. Kaye loved family vacations which included long family drives to picnics, short day trips, and worldwide adventures. She was a wonderful cook, a skilled and creative knitter, a voracious reader, and an avid card and games player. Whenever Kaye was given a task, she would get right to it with great speed, precision, and high quality. She always provided sage advice to anyone who had the good fortune to sit down at the table with her. Kaye's ability to have engaging conversations and to connect with people of all ages came naturally. She will always be remembered by her welcoming smile, easy laugh and generous heart, which enabled her to make friends effortlessly.

Our sincere thanks go to Dr. Joey Grevler, Kirsten, and Bernadette from the Glengrove Medical Centre for their constant compassionate care; to Dr. Tomas Novak for his loving care and family support and to Shelia Sobremonte, a kindred spirit who cared for and shared laughter with Kaye everyday.

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Kaye's life on Saturday, December 30th from 2 pm to 5 pm at the York Funeral Centre, located on 160 Beecroft Road, Toronto (North of Sheppard, West of Yonge, 416-221-3404). Should anyone wish to share any loving memories of Kaye, please post your thoughts on this web site on the guestbook page. In lieu of flowers, and to honour Kaye, please extend an act of kindness that will bring a smile and warm the heart of another or donations can be made to a charity of your choice in Kaye's memory.

With love,
Cheryl, Paul and Alex
