In memory of

Gwen Slaght (Nee Otway)

December 13, 1941 -  April 9, 2021

It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gwen Slaght at the age of 79 on April 9, 2021. Predeceased by her beloved husband Willie (Bill) Slaght, Gwen was the cherished mother of Janice, Patricia (Carl) and Michael (Tammy). Caring grandmother of Camille and Julien, Janica and Malik, Tyler, Paul and Jordyn. Loving sister of Bill (Ingrid). She will be greatly missed by her many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Gwen was passionate about knitting, crocheting, cooking and baking. Over the years, Gwen had crocheted thousands of hats and scarves and donated all to various organizations across Toronto. Gwen’s happiest times were when she had her family gathered for holiday dinners. A private burial for family only will be held at Pine Hills Cemetery on Saturday, April 24, 2021. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Scott Mission.

Deepest sympathy Janice, Pat, and Michael. I still have the baby sweaters Gwen knit Sarah. One of the few baby items we kept. She is with your Dad again.

Very sad news, Mrs. Slaght was a great lady. I spent a lot of time with the Slaght Family growing up and she was definitely the glue. My sincere condolences, she will be missed.

Sincere condolences and my thoughts are with you all at this time of loss. I will always remember your Mom's containers of Christmas cookies and her willingness to tag along on trips to Costco. Gwen and your Dad are happy together again. Ben, Max and I are very sorry for your loss, Anne
