Jill Dawn Giustino (nee: Haidinyak)

Giustino, Jill (nee Haidinyak) - It is with broken hearts that we sadly announce that Jill was called home by the Lord in the afternoon of Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 at Centenary Hospital in Scarborough, Ontario with her loving husband Tony by her side. She leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew her.

The only child of the late Cyril and Judy Haidinyak, Jill was born on April 16th, 1968, in Toronto Ontario. She was a true blessing to her loving parents and brought joy to their lives everyday.

Jill was a devoted wife to her high school sweetheart, Tony. Their love story began in their teenage years and blossomed into a beautiful partnership filled with laughter and shared dreams. Together they created a home filled with joy alongside their beloved fur babies, who were cherished members of their family.

A passionate traveler at heart, Jill found immense joy exploring new places and cultures with Tony by her side. Whether it was wandering through bustling city streets or relaxing on serene beaches, she embraced every adventure with an open spirit and infectious enthusiasm.

Jill is survived and sadly missed by her devoted and loving Husband Tony along with numerous loving family members including her dearly loved mother-in-law Grace (Domenic) and sister-in-laws Clara(Darren) and Rosangela(Enzo), her niece Alyssa and two nephews Bryce and Alex along with many aunts, uncles and cousins, who will miss her dearly. Her kindness touched everyone around her; she had an extraordinary ability to make each person feel special and valued.

Jill spent 37 years dedicated to her career at the Musicians’ Pension Fund of Canada. She began as a high school student, continued on to earn her university degree, and returned full time to eventually be promoted to the position of Executive Director. Jill will be remembered by her musical family for her friendship, leadership, warm personality, generous spirit, and meticulous organization skills.

While words cannot fully capture the essence of Jill’s vibrant spirit or the depth of loss felt by all who loved her, we take comfort knowing that she has left us with countless memories that will be treasured forever.

A ceremony celebrating Jill's life will be held at a later date when family and friends can gather together to honor the remarkable woman she was. Details regarding this gathering will be posted when available.

In this time of sorrow for those left behind—let us remember Jill not just for how she lived but for how deeply she loved.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
