It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Amanda at the age of 35. Loving daughter of Peter and the late Marie, and step-daughter to Melinda (Gerry). Cherished sister to Merrissa (Matthew) and Sommer (Ramon), dearest aunt to Lewis. She will always be remembered by her best friend Heather and she will be dearly missed by her extended family and friends. She will be fondly remembered as a very loving, caring and gentle soul with the heart of a chef. She found her pleasure in cooking. There are no words to express how she impacted those she came in contact with. She loved her fur babies Meeko and Leo and rescued many cats that she found. There are no words to express the loss that our family is feeling. Due to Covid-19, all visitations and funerals are restricted to a specified number of attendees. All visitors will be required to wear a face covering, as well as provide name and telephone number to funeral home staff. Visitation at MARKEY-DERMODY FUNERAL HOME, 1774 King Street East (at Kenilworth) on Friday, August 20, 2021 from 1-3 p.m. Private Funeral Service to take place with cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the SPCA would be appreciated.
