It is with the deepest sorrow that we share the passing at home, of Teresa (Terry) Laing, on Tuesday, May 14th with loved ones by her side. She was a loving and devoted mother to Rebecca (William) and Kailee (Antony), cherished grandmother to Jakob and Clay, and beloved sister to Gina. Teresa is predeceased by her parents Bob (1987) and Carmen (2012), as well as her brother Robert (2016). She was born in London, England on November 24th, 1950, and emigrated to Canada with her family at the age of 13. Teresa was a talented and creative person, a gifted pastry chef, kind and compassionate, with a deep love of animals and nature. She lived for many years in British Columbia, where the laid-back lifestyle and beauty of the surroundings spoke to her soul. In the last few years, the challenges of dementia necessitated her move back to Ontario, where she was lovingly cared for by her daughter, Rebecca, and son-in-law, William. Although our hearts are broken, we will remember Teresa in happier, healthier times, with a purring cat curled up by her side.
Visitation will be at Pine Hills Cemetery on Sunday, May 19th from 1-2 PM, with service to follow. The family thanks everyone for their kind words of support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Teresa’s memory to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.
