Survived by siblings Dennis Giaruso (Susan), Nancy Taccone (Joe), Thomas Wilcox, Wendy Coulson (Jack), and Lisa Beecraft.
Loved and missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family; she had many relatives who would visit, call, or text just to say ‘Hi’. She showed a genuine interest in every person that she met and was a very giving person. She volunteered at Foxridge L.T.C. and Briarwood L.T.C, The Brantford General Hospital, and was part of an Aphasia Group where she made each person feel very much loved and important.
Visitation will take place on Saturday, November 7th from 1-3 p.m. at Thorpe Brothers’ Funeral Home (96 West St., Brantford), followed by a private family service. Donations in memory of Toy may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society, The Brantford Food Bank, or Hearts to Homes Feline Rescue & Sanctuary.
