KHALIL,
Isis
(April 7, 1941-September 4, 2005)
Went to be with Our Lord after a courageous battle with cancer.
Isis was surrounded by her family and Friends when she passed
away at Sunnybrook Hospital. Beloved wife of Samir. Treasured
mother of son Yousri, and daughter Amira. Dear sister of Maher
SEDRA, Salwa
RAFLA, Tahany
FARAG, Sanaa
MIKAHAIL and Magdy
SEDRA.
Loving aunt to several nieces and nephews. Devoted friend to
many. Isis immigrated to Canada from Egypt in 1966. Shortly thereafter,
with her usual determination, her diligent studies enabled her
employment as a medical lab technologist at Sunnybrook Hospital.
Her 31 year career span at Sunnybrook was filled with dedication,
integrity, and personal and professional growth. She was a valued
and respected supervisor and colleague. Isis lived life to the
fullest with little time for sleep. She loved Canada dearly and
made use of all the opportunities it gave her to live a full
and rewarding life. Her refirement in 2000 allowed her more time
for personal pursuits such as travelling, volunteer work and
outdoor activities. Isis was an avid reader and had interests
in many areas, including Egyptology, history, politics, Egyptian
literature and short story writing. Her passion for Middle Eastern
costume creations and presentations was greatly appreciated in
many circles. She cherished her involvement at fund-raising events
and festivals at both Saint Mark's and Saint Mary's Coptic Orthodox
Churches, and Chapel Place Presbyterian Church. It was in the
Discipleship of Our Lord's work that Isis found greatest satisfaction.
We will all greatly miss her. Resting at Chapel Ridge Funeral
Home, 8911 Woodbine Ave., Markham (three lights north of Hwy.
7), 905-305-8508. Visitation on Thursday, September 8 from 1-3

BROWN,
Norma▲
Inez▲
(RAFUSE)
Beloved wife of Bishop Arthur
BROWN, passed away peacefully on
Thursday September 15th 2005. Born in London, Ontario, July 21,
1926, she was a loving mother to Joanne (the late David), Karen
(deceased), Judy (Monty) and Carrie (Elden), grandmother to Sarah,
and step-grandmother to Jesse, Kevin, Andrea and Esha. Norma
was an Honours student at South Collegiate in London Ontario,
and a graduate of the University of Western Ontario (1947), where
she was active in athletics as tennis instructor, captain of
women's basketball, and in the Student Christian movement. In
her later teens, she had played first base for the London Eagles
and the Supremes. In 1949, Norma married the Reverend Arthur
BROWN, and they served together in Paisley, suburban London and
Glanworth, Windsor and
in Toronto. In 1975, she was appointed
a member, and later vice-chair and consultant, to the Social
Assistance Review Board of the Ontario Government, where she
worked for 16 years. Later in life, Norma enjoyed family, travels
and summers spent at her ancestral home on the South Shore Nova
Scotia. She always gave generously of her heart, was uplifting
with her spirit, and encouraged others to appreciate life's gifts.
She is much loved by family, colleagues and Friends, all of whom
regret her passing. A celebration of Norma's life will take place
at 10: 00 a.m., on Monday September 19th at the church of St.
Michael and All Angels (611 St. Clair Ave. West, Toronto, M6C
1A3). Visitation will be the day before from 2-4 p.m. and 7-8: 30
p.m. (also at St. Michael's). Interment of Norma's ashes will
take place at 11: 00 a.m., on Tuesday September 20th at Christchurch,
Glanworth, Ontario (from Toronto, travel west along Hwy. 401,
take the Wellington Rd. south exit, turn right onto Glanworth
Dr., follow a short way, church will be on the right). Instead
of flowers, contributions can be made in her memory to the St.
Michael and All Angels Day Care Centre, of which she was a co-founder.
We love you Norma.
