Family is saddened to announce the passing of Sarma Hanzens on Jan. 1,2026 after a year-long battle with cancer.
A cherished sister to Inta Kalnins, and loving aunt to her nieces , Ramona and Krista, and great aunt to Sierra, she was also a devoted daughter to her recently deceased father, Arvids Hanzens.
Among the many things Sarma will be remembered for, she was an accomplished photographer, winning many awards at her camera club and in the GTA. Her continual love of nature and her wonder at the beauty of the natural world will always be remembered and an inspiration to others.
Sarma will be sadly missed and the light she carried will forever touch this world. She will be laid to rest on Friday, January 9, during a private, family service.
