VAN DUREN WATAK, Grace Mona – Peacefully at Richmond Woods on June 7, 2023 at the age of 84. Lovingly remembered by her children Andre Brons, Jim Brons, Lisa Bayer and Cliff Taylor (Uta); grandchildren Madelyne and Logan Brons, Evan Bayer, Quintin and Oliver Taylor. Dear sister of Sonja Slaaf and the late Max Van Duren Watak and Allan Van Duren Watak.
Grace had a heart of gold and loved people. She was charming and liked by all, and her peaceful, happy presence always lifted up a room. Quick to smile, her sense of humour was infectious. Her stories about her life were fascinating and in her quiet moments, she enjoyed doing word search puzzles and prayed daily. She especially loved cooking for family and friends.
A memorial service will be conducted at Harris Funeral Home, 220 St. James St. at Richmond, on Thursday, June 15 at 12 noon, with visitation preceding from 11 am – 12 pm. Reception to follow. Memorial contributions to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.
