ROBERTSON,
Wanza▼
Kate▼ (née
BUCKLEY)
On Saturday, January 19, 2008, of cancer, surrounded by family
at her home in Mississauga, Ontario. Born in St. Catharines,
Ontario, on July 12, 1928, Wanza was the first child of the late
Eric and Edna (née
HONSBERGER)
BUCKLEY
(Windsor,▼
Ontario▼) and
a loving older sister to the late Keith
BUCKLEY (2000.) She was
predeceased by her mother- and father-in-law Agnes (née
BAILLIE)
and Peter ROBERTSON
(Bishopbriggs▼ and
Glasgow,▼
Scotland▼ and Windsor,
Ontario,▼) her husband of 41 years, Ronald
ROBERTSON, Q.C., in
1992, and by their daughter, Heather Agnes, in 1980. Wanza was
a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and a great friend to
many. She will be greatly missed by her three surviving children
and their spouses, Peter
ROBERTSON
(Antonietta▼
SEUCHARAN) Holly
ROBERTSON (Gaetano
AMATO), and Kate
ROBERTSON (Michael
HOPTON).
She will also be deeply missed by her eight grandchildren: Kate,
Eric, and Natalie
AMATO;
Lee▼ and Cole
ROBERTSON; and Matthew,
Sarah and Aimee
HOPTON.
She▼ was a cherished sister-in- law to
childhood friend Margaret
SPETTIGUE (née
ROBERTSON)
(Owen▼
SPETTIGUE)
of Leamington, Ontario, and sister-in-law Judy
BUCKLEY (née
LAWRASON)
of St Catharines and Toronto, and a very special aunt to their
respective children: Margaret-Ann, Charles, James, Katherine
and Christine
SPETTIGUE; and Erica and Andrew
BUCKLEY.
Dedicated▼
to the wellbeing of others, especially family, she was also very
active in the community. As a volunteer for the Canadian Cancer
Society for many years, she drove cancer patients to appointments
and treatments. She also delivered meals on behalf of Meals on
Wheels. Even the local wildlife benefited from her thoughtfulness:
Wanza nurtured milkweed and other native plants in her backyard
gardens long before it became trendy to do so. Wanza was a private
person, but her kindness and wry sense of humour drew many to
her. She was intensely interested in politics and enjoyed well-informed
and lively political discussions. With her keen intellect, she
was an avid reader and wordsmith, but nobody could say more by
simply arching an eyebrow. Her Friends and family will miss her
empathy, dry wit, and wise counsel. Wanza endured her illness
and her difficult final weeks and days with her characteristic
grace and dignity and with a stoicism and sense of humour that
was typical of her approach to life's troubles. A funeral service
will be held at St. Andrew's Memorial Presbyterian Church, 24 Stavebank
Rd. North, (Port Credit) Mississauga (905-278- 8907), at 10: 30 a.m.
on Friday, January 25, 2008. In lieu of flowers, donations to
the Canadian Mental Health Association, The Canadian Cancer Society
or Plan Canada (formerly Foster Parents Plan) would be appreciated.
