BELINDA LEE WONNACOTT
Date of Passing: Aug 14, 2015
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBELINDA LEE WONNACOTT It is with profound sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Belinda Lee Wonnacott on Friday, August 14 2015 at the age of 53 years. Belinda is survived by her husband of 24 years, Frank. Her cherished children, Daniel and Samantha, as well as her Mother, Myrna Bunskoek, siblings, Derk (Krista), Wally, Deborah Narine (Richard) and Shawn. She will be lovingly remembered by her nieces and nephews, Alexandria, Ashley, Kyle, Kendra, Branson, Amanda and Alaina. Belinda was predeceased by her Father Egbert Bunskoek and her Father-in-law Frank Wonnacott Sr. Belinda lived her life with a grin on her face and a great passion for everything she did, "if you're going to do something, do it right" That's what she would tell me. Belinda loved the outdoors and would never miss an opportunity for a campout with friends or family. She loved being outside, even if it was just sitting in the backyard pulling weeds and enjoying the sunshine, she felt at home with nature. What Belinda valued most was her relationships and time spent with family, friends and even her pets. Recently Belinda reflected on how lucky she felt to have the love of her soul mate and husband Frank, he truly loved her in sickness and in health. Although her life was short, it was full of love, and none fiercer than the love she has for her children, it is never ending. Belinda's dry sense of humour; kind and loving nature and pure love of life will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew her. A Celebration of Belinda's life will be held on Saturday, August 22 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel of Voyage Funeral Home, 220 Hespeler Avenue at Henderson Hwy.

My sis. All the times we have had and shared over the years, the camping trips, the first fish Daniel caught that we"ate" lol, the work we did on the house together, the road trips to Inwood, the gardening we did in the back yard, playing with the cat and dog. All of that can never be taken away. I am truly blessed to have had you in my life as a big Sister. Never forget you. Always on a daily basis missing you. Say Hi to Pop. Love you always. XOXOXO.

Having just seen B a week before her passing, I am in profound shock and extremely saddened. She was a no nonsense, fun, and loving woman. Her ever present grin was infectious. Bless you Belinda, you are free. - Posted by: Brett Duseigne (friend of Belinda and family) on: Aug 19, 2015

I wish I can tell you, YOU ARE RIGHT! I am having a girl Belinda and you never doubted it. I really wish you can be present for this birth like you were for Babyjoey. You were so supporting to me and baby. Your heart has always been filled with gold. Whenever I needed somewhere to go, you always opened your door to me. I ask in spirit if you can be present for Avaisa <3 You were a strong woman who didn't put up with no one's BS. You were like my second mommy. I will be there to lay you down in peace. Always in my heart you will be "Doll" <3 love you!! - Posted by: Melissa Moar (Her one of many Dolls ) on: Aug 19, 2015
