STEPHANIE LAING GILBERT FLYNN

Our incredible gift was taken from us at the much too early age of 55 on July 26, 2024. She leaves behind her parents, R-J and Humphrey Gilbert; her much-loved children, Cameron, Braeden and Caitlin. She will be missed by her sister and best friend, Lisa along with her children, Stephanie's nephews, Jack and Charlie. Steph grew up in Toronto attending elementary school at Whitney. Moving on to graduate from Branksome Hall, she was a prefect in her final year. She earned an undergraduate degree at Western University followed by one year at Seneca College. The working world took her to the National Ballet, University Health Network and University of Toronto. The family lived in Oakville for a few years before relocating to London, Ontario. She was a single Mom devoted to her children for 15 years during which time she established a very successful jewellery design business. In 2019, she went back to work in Corporate Development full time at Western University. What a caring, devoted Mother and problem solver with inner strength. Although our lives will never be the same without her, we take comfort in knowing she has finally been reunited with her first-born daughter, Alexandra. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Steph's life at Harris Funeral Home, 220 St. James St. at Richmond, London, Ontario on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Steph both volunteered and spent her final days at St. Joseph's Hospice of London; a wonderful organization to which donations would be much appreciated.
