BENK,
Veronique,▼ M.D., M.Sc., F.R.C.P.C.
Dr. Veronique
BENK passed away on October 4, 2005 in Toronto
with her loving and devoted husband by her side after a courageous
fight against breast cancer and leukemia.
She▼ leaves her husband of 13 years, Dr. Paul
FORTIN and their
two beautiful children Aude (age 6) and Hadrien (age 7). In France
she leaves her parents Andree and Jean-Marie
BENK and her brother
Jerome, his wife (Celine) and their six children. She also leaves
her mother-in-law (Pauline
PAQUIN) and her husband (Andre
COTE,)
her sister-in-law (Lucie
FORTIN) and partner (Pierre
PARENT)
and their three children.
Dr. BENK was a radiation oncologist at the Toronto Sunnybrook
Regional Cancer Centre where she specialized in the treatment
of breast cancer. She was also an Adjunct Scientist at I.C.E.S.
where she studied this same condition. Her patients and colleagues
will remember her as an extremely caring and committed physician.
Veronique was born in St.-Quentin (Aisne), France. She obtained
her medical degree from the University of Lille in France, did
her specialty training in oncology at the prestigious Institut
Gustave-Roussy in Paris, and at the Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston. During her training, she found time to volunteer for
one year as a physician and teacher in Burma.
It was in Boston where she met Paul, the love of her life, at
the first hockey game that she had ever attended. They were married
in France and moved to Canada where they were on faculty at McGill
University in Montreal before moving to Toronto.
After her initial diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, she
returned to work with a renewed interest in finding ways to improve
the quality of life for persons living with cancer. As part of
this work, and after her diagnosis of leukemia, she became involved
in Wellspring, a centre that supports individuals and their families
living with cancer.
Veronique's boundless curiosity spanned the history of ancient
civilizations, to romanesque cathedrals, to baroque music, to
the diversity of cultures in the modern world. Her healing journey
was accompanied by a desire to grow in her spiritual journey
and to train as a cancer guide.
Veronique's accomplishments are many but the one she valued most
was her countless Friendships and her familial life with Paul
and her two "Amours". Despite her recurrent illnesses, Veronique
took every opportunity to enjoy her precious time with her family.
She was totally devoted to Aude, Hadrien and Paul.
We are grateful for the network of Friends and supporters in
Toronto, in Canada and abroad. Special thanks to Dr. Eugenia
PILIOTIS, Dr. Mary
VACHON, Annette
VATTER, Lorraine
PAQUIN, Terry
SEID and Sister Daniela and the Carmelite Missionary Sisters
who provided Friendship, material and spiritual support.

Avenue West, Toronto (416) 489-8733, on Sunday, October 9, 2005

The celebration mass of Veronique's life will be held at Holy
Rosary Catholic Church, 354 St. Clair Avenue West (at Bathurst)
on Thanksgiving Monday at 2: 30 p.m. Another service is being
planned on Saturday, October 15 in Quebec City - details to follow.
