Felicidad (Fely) passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, November 7th, 2019 in Scarborough, Ontario at the age of 92. She is now reunited with her parents Victorino and Eugenia Ferrer, her husband Teodoro Santos, her daughter Rhodora Williams, and her brothers Guillermo and Dominador Ferrer. She leaves behind with loving memories: her sister Magdalena Leonardo, her daughters Estrella Santos, Victoria Kumar (and husband Surinder Kumar) and Celia Santos (and husband Kevin MacLeod). “Mama” will also be forever loved and deeply missed by her seven grandchildren Ranee Kumar, Carmen Carrasquilla, Joseph Chris Santos, Neal Daniel Kumar, Clarissa Williams, Sarah Williams and Abigail MacLeod, and her great-grandson Miles Cuccinello.
Fely was an elementary school teacher in the Philippines for more than 20 years but was a life-long teacher at heart. We were blessed to have learned so many valuable lessons from Fely throughout her years with us. After arriving in Canada in 1984, she also took care of four of her grandchildren when they were young and then later doted on her beloved dogs, sweet-tempered Cookie and little rascal Max. Fely was an avid reader of any type of novel and could often be found singing a tune, even when it’s just to let Max know he’s a “good good boy”. She was also a splendid strategist who always won at mahjong and dominos. Fely was instantly loved by all who met her for her gentle, kind and generous nature along with a warm smile that could light up a room. Combined with her witty personality and zest for life, Fely also always managed to make everyone laugh by cracking the perfect joke. Mama will be in our hearts forever.
