<div itemprop="description">It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of Sonia Mabel Leslie on August 20, 2015 at the tender age of 84. Sonia, loving wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother lost her 5 year battle to multiple myeloma and lung cancer. Sonia was born and raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, but Canada had been home for more than 50 years. Sonia is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Alan, and was the most wonderful mother to her three children Craig (deceased), Andrew (Michele) and Moira (Tony). She was also Nana to her fabulous grandchildren Alex, Robbie and Russell. Sonia spent the majority of her working years as a most beloved teacher at Windfields Junior High School. She was an avid gardener who not only had a green thumb but, her family believes green hands. She could turn a shrivelled brown twig into the most spectacular flowering shrub. She earned her degree as a Master Gardener and spent years heavily involved with the Toronto Botanical Gardens where she sat on the board, as well as being an active tour guide of both the park and the Toronto Music Garden at Harbourfront. <br /> <br />A Memorial Reception will be held at York Cemetery, 160 Beecroft Road, North York at 2pm Sunday August 23rd. ... There will be a private family burial. <br /> <br />In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Sonia's name to The Toronto Botanical Gardens.</div>
