MariaSTUBITS

STUBITS, Maria March 22, 1932 – July 9, 2017 Although we know Maria, our Mom and Nana, is now joyfully enfolded into the waiting arms of God and reunited with Dad, it is with the greatest sense of loss and sadness that we announce the passing of Maria (Jandrisits) Stubits. Beloved wife for 50 years of the late Oskar Stubits; loving mother of Rose Mary, Helen (Simon), Oscar (Terry), Theresa (Kevin), Katherine and Carol (Dave). Cherished Nana of James, Julia, Amanda, Mark, Emma, Erin, Rachel and Matthew. Mom and Dad immigrated to Canada from Austria in 1954 and together built a life, a family and a home, first in Winnipeg, then Montreal and Mississauga. Mom had extensive family in Austria and celebrated her Austrian heritage but she was very proud to be Canadian. Mom always considered her life a blessing. Dad was the love of her life and we, as her children and grandchildren, grew up with her unconditional love, wisdom, generosity, grace and sense of humour. Thanks Mom for always, always being there for us. You were our rock. Thank you for your legacy of faith in God, hard work, the importance of family and laughter. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts, forever. Say hi to Dad for us. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors and nurses at Mississauga Trillium Hospital who took such wonderful care of Mom the last few days. Visitation at Turner & Porter “Neweduk-Erin Mills” Chapel, 1981 Dundas St. W., Mississauga (just east of Erin Mills Pkwy.), on Thursday, July 13, 2017 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass at St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 14.
