BIANCHET,
Ivana
Maria
It is with immense sadness and endless tears that we announce
the passing of Ivana Maria
BIANCHET at Toronto General Hospital,
at 1: 00 p.m., Sunday, August 21, 2005, of acute liver failure.
Beloved daughter of Egidio and Elsa
BIANCHET, devoted and loving
big sister of Stephen
BIANCHET, dear niece of Eugenio and Dina
BIANCHET in North Bay and Marianna
ZUCCHET,
Elsa
BIANCHET, and
Ceserina MOLENT in Italy, cherished cousin of Jerry
BIANCHET
and Daniela
BIANCHET in North Bay, of Luisa
BRUNET,
Alice
ZUCCHET,
Carlo ZUCCHET,
Roberto
ZUCCHET, Linda
MARZOTTO, and Denise DE
BARTOLI in Italy, of Relina
SARTOR in Toronto, of Gina
SARTOR
in Brampton, and
of Carmela
SARTOR,
Luisa
VITALE, Jimmy
VITALE,
and Christine
ZENI in Bolton. Ivana was also a close and dear
friend of Connie
LABRIOLA,
Grace
DUKE, and Nancy and Mary
BRIENZA,
as well as their families, and she will also be sadly missed
by other relatives and countless Friends, including her co-workers
at Canada Post. Ivana was born on July 12, 1958 in Cordenons,
Pordenone, Italy, in her paternal grandmother "Nona Nuta's" house,
and was delivered by midwives. She emigrated to Canada in 1960
at the age of two with her parents Egidio and Elsa, who settled
in Toronto after three years in North Bay, where they had joined
their brother and sister Eugenio and Dina, respectively, who
had married and been together in Canada since 1956. Ivana's parents
added a son, Stephen, to the family in 1964. Ivana was a happy
though quiet child who enjoyed school, which was negatively affected
when she was very young by her lack of English and later in her
teens by lengthy stays in hospital. Despite these setbacks, she
always enjoyed learning new things and, throughout her life,
took great care and consideration in everything she did. Ivana
had the profound misfortune of being stricken with a number of
serious illnesses throughout most of her life. After being diagnosed
with kidney disease, she had her first kidney transplant in March
1971, at the age of 12, at The Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto; when that kidney failed some 22 years later, she received,
at Toronto General Hospital, a second transplant in September
1993, which was donated, gladly and without hesitation, by her
brother Stephen. Probably sometime in the 1970's or 1980's, she
received tainted blood in Toronto through a transfusion and was
infected with the Hepatitis C virus, the devastating effects
of which started to manifest themselves fully in the last few
years of her life. Sometime in the 1990's, some basal cell carcinomas
(a type of skin cancer) were discovered on her body. She became
diabetic and she also later was diagnosed with a form of non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma (detected in early 2003). Possibly about the same time,
she was also infected with the E-B virus. To compound her miseries,
her cancers and viral infections were exacerbated and possibly
facilitated by her decades of immunosuppression. Her last several
years were spent courageously battling all of these illnesses,
requiring innumerable trips to the hospital and many tests and
procedures. This included four rounds of chemotherapy treatments,
commencing in October 2004, to treat her lymphoma. Despite her
many afflictions, Ivana was not a walking collection of illnesses.
Ivana was a vibrant, cheerful, caring person, with a unique,
musical laugh. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, niece, cousin,
and friend. Ivana never complained and was forever brave and
optimistic that she would prevail over the assault on her body.
Her family and Friends certainly gave her the unconditional love
and support to do so. She was a very good listener and patient
with everyone. She placed the cares of her loved ones above her
own and unselfishly was always concerned about their happiness.
Everyone who knew Ivana loved her. She had a variety of interests
and pursuits and two of her favourite destinations were Niagara
Falls as well as North Bay, where she enjoyed visiting her relatives.
Shopping was one of her joys, especially later in her battle,
probably because deciding on a purchase was one of the few things
in life over which she had any control. Despite all the tribulations
with regard to her health, Ivana always found the goodness within
herself and others, and loved to share life, laughter, and good
times. She will be sadly missed by all whose lives she touched.
The family will receive relatives and Friends at Ward Funeral
Home at 4671 Hwy. 7, Woodbridge, Ontario, on Wednesday, August
24, between 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., and on Thursday, August 25,
between 7-9 p.m. Funeral to be held at 10: 00 a.m. on Friday,
August 26 at St. Roch's Catholic Church at 2889 Islington Ave.,
North York, Ontario. Entombment at Beechwood Cemetery at 7241
Jane Street, Concord, Ontario. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses,
and other support staff at the University Health Network and
The Hospital for Sick Children who cared for Ivana over her 35-year
heroic battle with the serious illnesses noted above. In lieu
of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Liver
Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Kidney Foundation
of Canada, or the Canadian Diabetes Association.

WHITNEY,
Gordon
Thomas
(February 13, 1916-December 10, 2005)
It is with great sadness, but equal pride for a life well lived,
that his children announce his passing following a brief period
of ill health. Gordon began his journey on a blustery February
day in the village of Whitneyville, New Brunswick. He was the
ninth child of Hiram and Ethel
WHITNEY.
From his humble farming
roots, he lived a richly varied and travelled life. Gordon took
pride in many things and these were all recently documented in
his published and widely read memoirs. He enjoyed a long, successful
and much storied career with The Ford Motor Company, including
a well-remembered lunch with Henry Ford. His tenure included
a two-year assignment in India during World War 2, managing a
parts depot for Ford war vehicles. He was an active member of
the Baptist Church his entire life, lending his many business
skills to a variety of committees. He was a great father, a loving
and loyal husband to his dear Roberta (Bertie, who passed away
in 1994), and a wonderful friend to countless dozens. His kind
and gentle spirit will be greatly missed by his children and
grandchildren: Kathryn and Ron
DUKE and their children Scott
and Laura; Janet and her son Erick; Stephen and Christine and
their children Lauren and Evan. Gordon will also be very much
missed by his 'little' sister Ruth
HAMILTON, favourite nephews
Gary and Ron
WHITNEY and many others. Our Dad will be most fondly
remembered for his remarkable generosity and thoughtfulness.
The baskets of Red Haven peaches that he delivered each August
to so many will be greatly missed. Many are already enjoying
their Christmas fruitcakes. Gordon always said he wanted to go
out with his boots on and he surely did so, having enjoyed a
seven day Alaskan cruise with his entire family in July and a
few weeks later attending and speaking eloquently at his brother
Edward's memorial service in Grand Marais, Minnesota. His 2005
spotlessly clean Lincoln Town Car has been idle only a few weeks.
We invite all who knew Gordon to celebrate his life and loves:
Please visit with his family at Skinner and Middlebrook, 128 Lakeshore
Road East, Mississauga (west of Hurontario), on Tuesday, December
13 from 2-4 p.m. or 7-9 p.m. A Service of Remembrance will be
held on Wednesday, December 14 at 2 p.m., Lorne Park Baptist
Church, 1500 Indian Road, Mississauga. For those who may wish
to make a donation in Gordon's memory, donations gratefully appreciated
to the Salvation Army or Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

RADFORD,
Joanne
Passed away at home on December 15th, 2005. Born on May 29, 1946
in Winnipeg, Joanne also made Montreal her home before moving
to Toronto in 1972. While in Montreal, Joanne met her life partner
and husband, Walter
NOE, who deeply mourns the passing of his
"Jo-Jo". A vibrant and unique personality, Joanne attacked life
with equal parts flamboyance and keen intelligence. She was well
suited in her work, first in theatre, then as political activist
and later as Executive Director. Many on the "other side of the
table" found her to be a formidable adversary. In addition to
managing Federal and Provincial election campaigns from Nova
Scotia to British Columbia, Joanne was instrumental in founding
two professional associations. She was intensely interested in
and supportive of her family and many, many Friends. Even the
challenge of failing health over the past ten years, which she
coped with gallantly, couldn't extinguish her ability to meaningfully
engage in the lives of others. Joanne is predeceased by her parents,
Norman and Joan
RADFORD and her brother, Gerald. She will be
greatly missed by her step-mother T. Joan
RADFORD, her Uncles
Leonard RADFORD
(Shirley) and Trevor
WEBER, her cousins Carole
CLARK, Moira
EVANS (George), Ken
WEBER (Mary), Douglas
RADFORD
(Bev) Allison
LOGAN

NOE and
Linda MARSCHALL, her Nephew Zack

Cremation has taken place, and
at Joanne's request, there will
be no funeral service. Instead, a celebration of Joanne's life
will be held in January. Donations can be made in her name to
Amnesty International.
