It is with great sorrow we announce the unexpected passing of Monica (Scottie) Margaret Alexander on July 9, 2025, at the age of 83, at Michael Garron Hospital, in Toronto, Ontario. Born January 15, 1942, in Grenville Grenada, West Indies.
The daughter of predeceased Nessey and Martin Alexander. Dearly loved by her daughter Rosel Reid, predeceased grandson Liam, granddaughter Asia, and grandson Jack. Dearly remembered by son-in-law Thomas and son-like nephew Hilton. Monica was a devoted sister to Emilina, and predeceased Alexandria, Adolphus, David, and Sylvester. Loving aunt to Amanda, Collins, Denise, Esme, Fletcher, Abby, and predeceased Jude, Rosa, and Sharon. As well as treasured friends that were more like family, and countless others.
Monica was known for her warm spirit, generous heart, and love of cooking, gardening, and fashion. She came to Canada with courage and hope, building a life rooted in love and care — not only for her family but for everyone around her.
Monica cherished her community deeply. She had a kind word for every passerby, a helping hand for anyone in need, and a heart that embraced all with compassion. Her neighbours were her extended family, and her presence lit up every gathering with grace and laughter.
Please join us to celebrate her life with family and friends.
The service will be officiated by Minister Debbie Frederick (Monica’s Grandniece)
With heartfelt thanks, the Family of Monica Margaret Alexander.
