<div itemprop="description">Cherry was born in Ireland on May 11, 1919. She married her love Sam Wynne in 1939 and they had four children between 1941 and 1950. After Sam's passing in 1949 she raised her children with loving family support. <br />Cherry immigrated to Canada in 1967, again with no resources but a lot of courage and business acumen. <br /> <br />Cherry was a remarkable human being. Her circle of friends was wide and deep. She had the capacity to draw people into her life, and there they stayed 'til her end. Cherry owned the gift of hospitality, opening her home to those who needed family away from home. There was always a meal prepared, a drink poured and wonderful conversation shared. She was often the life of the party, and her infectious cheer made for memorable celebration. <br />Cherry had a desire to maintain healthy relationships and never wavered in her effort to communicate with even those far away. A phone call, a card, flowers, surprises, a letter and recently a Skype would mean she didn't miss a moment. <br />She distinguished herself by her mathematical prowess in the insurance industry. Her talent for knitting was incomparable, and what began as an added source of income during retirement became a charity. Making everything from premie hats to full sized sweaters for the gift shop at The Hospital For Sick Children, she blessed many until the age of 93. <br />Extensively traveling to family and friends, she wondered at the tulips of Holland, the beauty of Indonesia, the beaches of Hawaii, the gardens of Versailles and the vineyards of Italy. On her return her stories and photos required many evening exhibitions in her small, inviting apartment. <br />Any friend traveling through or near Toronto would joyfully take the time to see Cherry, some even diverting flights to do so. Friends and family felt secure in divulging their confidences and she would bestow her wisdom, but only if it was requested. <br />Cherry loved her people well, and her love was returned. She was steady and strong. She unshakably knew who she was, walking through this world with a confidence and grace that was undeniable. Her quiet, unassuming nature masked her strength of character. Though not outspoken, her faith in The Lord sustained her through the challenges and triumphs of life. <br />In her latter years she had delighted in the quality time spent with many who took the time to sit with her, and more recently in the nursing home this became her lifeline. Cherry left a lovely imprint on hearts wherever she went, and on October 23, 2014 her mark on the world was finalized as she was called Home. <br />Cherry Wynne is survived by her two sons and two daughters, her eleven grandchildren, her fifteen great grandchildren, her adopted daughters, and innumerable friends. <br /> <br />How blessed are those who have had the joy of her friendship, her mothering, her grandmothering and her kindness. She has left a rich legacy and will be cherished in our hearts forever. 'Til we meet again.</div>
