In memory of

Judith Gaspar

February 10, 1965 -  July 6, 2021

It was with the saddest of hearts that we announce Judith, 56, of Mississauga, passed away July 6, 2021, with her family by her side in the hospital. Judith was battling ovarian cancer for over 3 and a half years. She was first diagnosed in December 2017. Judith was a true fighter, she tried everything and anything to get healthy but sadly her life was cut way too short by the worst disease.

She was born to Erzsi and Janos on February 10, 1965, in Jazsbereny, Hungary. Judith went to school in Hungary and went to college to become an accountant before coming to Canada to start a new life. She then went to school to become an esthetician and pursued that career up until her diagnosis.

She married Gyula Vida in 1989 and they lived together in Mississauga, Ontario for over 24 years. They had their daughter, Tiana Vida born August 26, 1990.

Judith Gaspar had many life achievements but her greatest ones were touching everyone with her charisma and charm. She was a real people pleaser, and that showed through her beautiful smile and attitude. She was a true gem of a human and she will forever be missed by many.

Funeral arrangements will be held at Meadowvale Cemetary on Tuesday, July 13, 2021. The visitation will start at 1 PM, and her funeral will start at 2 PM. Due to COVID-19, her funeral is by invitation only. There will be a live broadcast of her funeral and the link will be shown on this webpage at 1:50 PM.

Hi mommy,

I love you so much, you know this. I will forever be sad you are gone, and honestly still cannot believe it. But, I feel almost at peace knowing you tried everything and you fought till the very end. You were a fighter and an amazing human and I am SO proud to call you my mother. I will forever always talk about you and carry on your existence through me and my heart. Thank you for everything, truly. I will now live my life to the very fullest. I will no longer hesitate to second guess myself. I know you will be there every step of the remainder of my life, guiding me in the right direction.

Thank you for being my mom and my best friend and for teaching me things no one could ever teach. FOREVER AND ALWAYS LOVE YOU, MOM. RIP

I only met your mom once or twice but I remember having a lot of fun playing games with her at your condo party.

Lots of love to you, your family and Mike. Can only imagine the pain you are going through, but we are here for you.

My mom was one unique cookie. She was the strongest woman I have known and probably one that I will ever know. I was so proud to show her off to everyone and boast about her. She was amazing in every way.

She was so smart, outgoing, loveable, she gave the best advice, she had the best taste - I just wanted to make her proud and satisfied in every aspect of my life.

I particularly enjoyed renovating my new house together with my mom in November 2020. She was still sick but she worked harder than me and my dad and my fiance at times! When my fiance and I finally finished removing the popcorn ceiling on the main floor, she pushed us to go and remove the remainder of the popcorn ceiling upstairs too! It was her and I who finished the job, and she still wanted to do more! I have no idea where she got all this energy from - but that was my mom, full of life and always smiling.

She loved interior design, their house was very different and unique but that was my mom, she HATED being normal - she always had to be different and unique. She got the pleasure of renovating her place before her passing and I know how much she enjoyed it.

She took me to my very first Britney concert together, we went to many more after that. It was so much fun going with her, we had such a great bond. We did everything together, she was my best friend!

I particularly also enjoyed going to her work and working at the front desk Merle Norman at Sherway Gardens. She had so many friends and clients and she loved what she did so much and I loved hearing her talk to her clients and how well they also spoke of her. Her clients would say that she would always talk about me to them, she was so proud of me even as a little girl!

I loved going to Hungary with her back home, we had the best times together. My cousins and her sister would take us around town and we particularly enjoyed having dinner at their hotel and spending lots of time in Szentendre hanging out on my aunt's terrace and talking until midnight every night. Shopping was always one of our favorite touristy thing to do in Hungary! We would leave with so many new things - especially shoes!

My mom enjoyed going down south with my dad because she LOVED tanning, tanning was always a must for us in the summer and when we went down south. Looking good and being your best was always my mom's motto. When anyone she loved started to not look good (gained weight, too skinny, not a good outfit etc.), she would always have to let you know to do better because life is short and everyone is beautiful and you have to look good always!

My mom was a fighter, she was fearless, she would try anything in order to beat this cancer. I remember my mom said she wanted to get a tattoo that said "FU Cancer", well maybe now I will have to get one for the both of us! I am amazed at how hard and well she fought. I will always be a piece of her too in every aspect of who she was, I am and I am so glad she was who she was because it was truly amazing.

Forever love you mom! xoxo Tiana
