In memory of

Zelma Ozols

January 6, 1932 - March 16, 2026

Zelma Ozols, beloved wife (Laimons), mother (Arnold (Larisa), Harold (Kelly) and Sandra (Rob)), and grandmother (Katelin, Evan, Dylan, Tamara, Ryan, and Elise) and sister (Arvid), passed away peacefully on March 16, 2026 surrounded by her family. She devoted her life to those she loved, and she cared for so deeply. Her impact on them will remain forever.

For 25 years, she served as a kindergarten teacher at the Latvian Saturday School, sharing her heritage, language, and traditions with generations of children. Her kindness, patience, and warm smile left a lasting impact on all who knew her.

She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her love of family, and the legacy she leaves in the hearts of her friends, students, and loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites donations to Toronto Latvian Society Saturday School:

Zelma was such a sweet lady, always smiling and friendly and very hard working. I spent many hours with her as colleagues on the Latvian Relief Society board of directors. My condolences to you, Sandra, and your brothers, from myself and my father. She will be missed.

I’m terribly sorry to hear of Zelma’s passing.
I have such fond memories of visiting with Zelma and celebrating Christmas with her and our family when I was a child. She was always a warm and special presence in those moments.

My thoughts and love are with her children and all who knew and loved her during this difficult time.
