1939 - 2018
Brigita passed away Sunday July 15th in her home
surrounded in love with both of her children at her side.
She was a woman of high moral standard, grace
and elegance, who cared deeply for all her friends
and family both near and far.
She set the bar high above the glass ceiling in her
career. Graduating at the top of her class in Dentistry
at the University of Toronto, Dr. Weaver became the
first female dentist on staff at the Children’s Hospital
in Vancouver. At the same time she ran a successful
dental practice using her famously gentle touch to
passionately help her patients.
Brigita held immense pride in her Latvian roots and
maintained ties to this rich culture through her
Daugaviete sorority.
She travelled extensively on 6 continents with her
favourite place being Maui. She enjoyed the classical
arts, walking, skiing, tennis, and her beloved
Tuesday night ladies bridge group of 40+ years.
She leaves behind her son Andre, daughter Lara,
grandsons Jack and Nate and neice Larissa. She
is pre deceased by her sister Daina and parents
Hugo and Lilija.
A memorial will be held in the garden of her
beloved North Vancouver home of 50 years on
Sept 23, 2018 at 2pm. A further burial ceremony
to be held in late September in Toronto.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Children’s Hospital Vancouver, BC.
