Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryAPOLONIA (PEARL) WRIGHT (nee JAWORSKI) Passed away peacefully in her sleep early on Thursday, April 13, 2017. Pearl was born in Tyndall, MB. Predeceased by her loving husband Charles Edward (Ted) Wright, her parents Frances and Michael Jaworski of Tyndall, and all her siblings, Eleanor, Mary, Joseph, Ted, Jan and Terry, Ted's parents Walter Thomas and Fanny Maria Wright, and her grandson Daniel Wright. Survived by her children Rosemary, Edward, Sandra Gilmer (Ken), Marni (Larry Matwie), Michael (Lorraine) and Melissa Demchyshyn (Louis), eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, her sister-in-law Monica Jaworski of Oakville and her brother-in-law Herb Wright of Kelowna. Pearl was a dedicated volunteer all her life, helping in multiple capacities in her Parish church of Our Lady of Victory and a Meals on Wheels volunteer for many years with the Mount Dennis Seniors Community Centre. She cherished all her many friendships in the parish and neighbourhood. In keeping with her wishes, a Funeral Mass will be held for Pearl at Our Lady of Victory Church, 117 Guestville Ave., Toronto on Saturday, April 29 at 10:00 a.m. Visitation will be held at the Scott Funeral Home, 1273 Weston Rd., Toronto on Friday, April 28 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Interment at Sanctuary Park Cemetery, 1276 Royal York Rd., Weston will take place following the Funeral Mass. A reception will follow at the Scott Funeral Home. The family offers thanks to Weston Gardens Retirement Residence, 303 Queens Drive, Toronto for their kind and helpful care during her four and one half years in residence, and especially during the last few months when she faced health challenges. Thanks also to the staff of 9E at Humber River Regional Hospital for their compassionate care and rehabilitation efforts during her recent confinement in March, 2017. It would make Pearl very happy if you were to consider a contribution in her name to a charity of her choice: either Sick Children's Hospital, the Princess Margaret Hospital or St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.

Pearl's family: Though our heads tell us the passing was peaceful and there's nothing more we could wish for, our hearts still feel sad. Those Bissett days were, and the memories are, very special. Though I was too young to remember, we have lots of pictures of Mom & Dad which we hold dear! "May the peace of the One who holds us gently in our grief be with you and your families" Lots of love, Marlene and Faye (Hogue) - Posted by: Marlene (Hogue) oussoren (long-time family friend) on: Apr 25, 2017
