IRMA IRENE CHANT It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Irma Irene Chant (nee Laming) on April 8, 2017 in her 87th year. Irma was predeceased by her loving husband Claire and siblings Jean and Gordon. She is survived by her sister Neita and brothers Giles and Orville. Born in Forfar, Ontario, Irma married Claire (April 8, 1950) and lived on Braywin Dr. in Etobicoke. Irma was highly respected, appreciated and loved throughout her career as Executive Assistant to the Principal in the North York School Board. Outside of work and in retirement, she and Claire collected cranberry glassware, enjoyed hosting dinners for friends and family and Irma devoted herself to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Humber Heights where she held many positions and was the go-to person for church members and ministers. Her latter days were spent in Sprucedale Care Centre in Strathroy. The family would like to offer special thanks to the staff for their loving care and to the Welch family for their friendship and care to Irma and Claire for over 60 years.
