With love we sadly announce the passing of Fanika Car (90) at McCall Centre in Etobicoke on Saturday, November 5, 2016. Having lived a long and fulfilling life, her last days were peaceful.

Dearly remembered by her nieces and nephews, Irena, Miko, Frank, Brian, Mike, Linda, Natalja, Tatjana, Erica and Stefan.
