She was the daughter of Alex and Rose Pylot (predeceased) of Meadow Lake Saskatchewan, with siblings Michael, Lilly (predeceased) and William (predeceased). Lessia completed her teaching certification and degree in Saskatchewan and taught primary school and in many places across Canada where she and John followed John's career. She started a career in residential real estate in British Columbia and continued that until 1994 in Ontario. Career was important to Lessia, but she was a wife, mother, and homebuilder at heart. She loved her gardens and would select each plant in the spring for its' unique character to create unity and beauty in her gardens around home. Lessia's love of her garden was only surpassed by her love of her children and husband. She wanted to assure that her children had every opportunity to grow in the skills of life and support John and her family life to the fullest. As her children matured, Lessia began to focus a good part of her life and energy onto her love of sports, golf, and curling. She celebrated her 4th hole-in-one who travelled with her. The family would like to thank Dr. Michael Chambers, and the staff of Princess Margaret Hospital, and ICU doctors and nurses of Mount Sinai who cared so much about the patient and the family in assisting us through the difficult disease and dying process. Funeral arrangements are through Glen Oakes Funeral Homes and Cemetery in Oakville. A celebration of life is planned for later in the spring a one of Lessia favorite sporting location to remember and share stories about Lessia.

Enjoy again feeding the birds and working in your garden! Born Sept. 1, 1950 in Montreal to parents Sydney and Moyra (both deceased). Beloved husband of Marlene. Father of Benjamin (deceased in infancy), Daniel (Patricia), and Jessica. Grandfather of Jacob, Brother of Jen (Alan), David (Chris) and Robert. He will be remembered by several nieces and nephews. He was well loved by many. He had life-long friends from the West Island of Montreal where he grew up. His friends and neighbours in Oakville, Ontario were instrumental in advocating and supporting the creation of the "Ian Dutton Walk" in 2015. For years, he walked his dogs along this trail, spreading the seeds from the flowers in his garden. The abundance of Forget-Me-Nots which are there today is a testament to these nature walks. His greatest pride and joy were his children. He was a devoted and involved father to Daniel and Jessica. Cremation has taken place. Private burial to take place at a later date. A special thank you to the staff at Post Inn Village. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Ian, the family would appreciate if you donated to Tuberous Sclerosis Canada at tscanada.ca.
