MAIE ILVES Obituary

ILVES, MAIE Beloved wife, mother and friend passed away suddenly at home on November 18, 2019, at age 73. Born in Sweden, she was predeceased by her parents, Elme and Leo and brother Aser. She will be sadly missed by Riivo, her husband of almost 50 years, her two children, Katriina (Alex) and Eerik (Katie) and grandchildren Silvi and Allan. Professionally, Maie was a high school teacher of English and Physical Education in Etobicoke. Maie was an incredibly active person, socially and athletically. She loved entertaining and was always a consummate host. Athletically, she enjoyed tennis, squash and golf, winning multiple championships at clubs she belonged to throughout her life. She will be sorely missed by legions of friends made while living in Toronto, Prince Edward County and Albany (NY) and by her extended family in Sudbury, Sarnia, Toronto and Estonia. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place and celebrations of her life will be arranged at a later date. If desired, donations can be made in her memory to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation.

I was a schoolmate of Maie and a neighbour (we lived on the same street in the old Township of York) I was saddened to hear the news. My condolences to her family.

We are stunned and saddened to learn of Maie's passing. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors. We considered ourselves lucky when we moved next door to you!!!!
We (and the kids) will never forget Maie's Halloween smorgasbord of copious amounts of candy and other treats. We also have special memories of the great get-to-togethers at your home with fellow ACC members. We were awed by how you two were able to so effortlessly entertain 20-30 people while cooking your multi-course, gourmet meals.

Our heart goes out to you, Riivo, and your entire family. May Maie RIP.
