Peacefully, in her 90th year, at North York General Hospital after a brief illness, with family by her side.

Born at home in North Toronto, Ontario, daughter of the late Joseph Sutton Pratt, World War I veteran from York Mills (Toronto), Ontario, and the late Mary Elva Major, originally from Williamstown, Ontario. Survived by sister Diana McCullough (Vernon) of Haliburton, Ontario, and predeceased by brother Allan (Nancy) of Bracebridge, Ontario. Missed by her cousin Jo-Ann Pratt, nieces and nephews David (Sheena), Maureen (Yuri), Laura (Alan), Andrew, and Susan (Chris), as well as great-nieces and nephews Quinn, Isla, Joseph, Thomas, Austyn, Reese, Tate, Carter and Galen. Georgina loved her nieces and nephews. She had a special fondness for animals, especially horses, and her beloved cats, Frosty and Sweet Pea. Her favourite horse growing up was Judy, and she shared stories of riding around the Yonge Street and York Mills area back when it was mostly farmer’s fields. When Georgina was a girl, her parents moved to her grandfather, George S. Pratt’s, house, beside his old mill in Hogg’s Hollow. Georgina attended Baron Renfrew Elementary School, Earl Haig Collegiate, and the family attended St. John’s York Mills Anglican Church. The mill site had stables as well as a skating rink and swimming pool, built by her father and her uncle Oliver. Georgina enjoyed caring for the horses in the stables. One eventful day, her pony (named ‘’Pipsqueak’’) managed to open the gate and escape from the enclosure, along with two other horses! They were on the run for a few days, and were later found eating apples at E.P. Taylor’s orchard off Bayview Ave. He recognized them as belonging to Georgina, and made sure the three escapees were safely returned!

Georgina’s favourite pastimes were curling, horseback riding, needlepoint, Bunka (Japanese thread art), and reading. She enjoyed the friends from her curling group and her Bunka group, particularly her dear friend, Judy. She was a good listener and teller of stories, but also enjoyed her own company. She enjoyed good food, especially her mother’s roast beef dinner, pies, a bacon club sandwich from Windfield’s restaurant, or having dinner with family at Swiss Chalet.

She was a very determined person and was a witness to many changes over her 89 years in Toronto. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Many thanks to her family physician, Dr. Balaban, her caring PSW, Joyann, and to the staff at Rayoak Place Retirement Residence, where she enjoyed living her last few months. Thanks also for the care of the nurses and doctors at North York General Hospital.

She will be cremated at York Cemetery and the internment and celebration of life will occur with friends and family in August 2024.

If desired, donations may be made in her memory to the CNIB or to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
