She is survived by her husband of 64 years, John, and her daughters Judith (Heraldo) Moitoso of Cambridge and Lucy (Michael) Gruber of Oakville, granddaughters Angela (Peter) Topolovec, Donna (Scott) McAulay, Gloria, Faith and Nicole, and great- grandchildren Kaison and Everleigh McAulay, and Dario and Anika Topolovec. Predeceased by her parents Jose and Angelina Silveira and sister, Angelina. She leaves behind 7 brothers and sisters: Maria and Francisco of Faial, and Jose, Isaltina, Antonio, Delfina and Manuel of Rhode Island. She was the sister-in- law of Francisco and Maria Palmira of Oakville, Maria da Conceicao of British Columbia (deceased), and Delfina, Fernando, Antonio, Emilia, Maria das Dores and Noelia of Rhode Island. She will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Virginia married John in 1957 and immigrated to Canada in 1959 from the island of Faial in the Azores, Portugal. She worked at Oakville's basket factory then cleaned homes for many years. She was an avid seamstress and lace crocheter and made beautiful crafts and crocheted angels which she donated to the St. James' church bazaar every year. She was also well known for her delicious Portuguese sweet bread which she made by the oven-load, and gave to friends and family at Easter, Pentecost, Christmas and whenever she felt like pulling out her massive ceramic bowl to beat the eggs and make loaf after loaf. She spent many summers in her home town of Praia do Norte in Faial, Azores in her little oceanside home that she so loved. The house was originally her father's and she lovingly renovated it in the 1980s turning it into a sweet home-away-from-home. There she spent many hours socializing, cooking and sewing while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh ocean air. She was deeply devoted to the Blessed Mother Mary and was often seen with a rosary in her hands telling us to be quiet because she was praying. She enjoyed being in church and would never neglect to have a mass said for a loved one who had passed. She often prayed for her family's health and well- being, and those heaven-sent prayers will be greatly missed. She leaves us with many sweet memories as we bid Virginia a fond farewell until we meet again in God's sweet embrace.

Joe was a "favorite uncle" to many nieces and nephews. Joe was a proud resident and businessman of Oakville.

In his latter years he lived at Post Inn Village where he truly loved the staff. The family would like to thank them for their passionate care throughout the years.

McLELLAN, Frances Ann (nee Longfield) August 11, 1939 - August 17, 2021 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Fran died peacefully at home with her children by her side on Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 82. She is survived by her children, Laura (David), Michael (Catherine) and Leanne; her five grand- children, Cassidy, Mitchell, Corey, Cameron and Cady; her siblings, Jim (Jean) and Ruth (David); her in-laws, Leonard (Dorothy), Chuck, Alf and Susan; as well as nieces, nephews and their children. Fran is pre-deceased by her husband, John, to whom she was married for 55 years before his passing in 2016; her parents, Ida and James Longfield; her sister, Mary Louise; her in-laws, Margaret and Bill McLellan, Ann-Marie and Bill and Peggy. Fran worked throughout most of her adult life but her biggest source of pleasure aside from her family came in volunteering. She was an active committee member with the Town of Oakville for many years, actively worked polling stations at all levels of elections, served at the President of the Oakville Skating Club and Business Manager for NEXXICE Synchronized Skating Team, she is a member of the Oakville Sports Hall of Fame (an initiative that she worked on for many years before it was launched) and was inducted in the Builder category. As a member of the World Champion Synchronized Skating team, she is a member of the Skate Canada Hall of Fame. Up until the time of her death, she was a member of the Skate Canada Alumni Committee. Locally, Fran was a fixture at many skating competitions as a judge, volunteer, taxi driver and hospitality hostess. She was often the first person that many officials saw as they arrived in town, always with a cheerful hello and a welcoming smile. Her home was always the place to be for family parties, she loved her backyard, and even more, she loved sharing it with family and friends. Fran was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in 2017. She was a model patient and defied a lot of the odds and normal progression of this terminal cancer. Cremation has taken place. Visitation and a funeral service were held at Kopriva-Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Road West, Oakville & a reception was held in her honour at her home on August 25, 2021. In lieu of flowers, consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society, Jumpstart or Canadian Blood Services (blood donations are always needed to help patients like Fran who required regular blood transfusions).
