In Celebration of

November 17, 1944 -  October 28, 2017

It is with great sadness we are announcing the passing of Dilys Machej (White) on Saturday, October 28, 2017, peacefully at Credit Valley Palliative Care following a long term battle with breast cancer. Beloved wife of Ed Machej for 55 years. Mom to Scott Machej (Brenda Parlee), Debbie Stanton (Chuck Stanton), Kevin Machej (Selina Song) and Tanya Causgrove (John Causgrove). Proud Nana of nine grandchildren Eric Machej, Alex Machej, Darcie Stanton, Austin Stanton, Jamie Stanton, Brianna Machej, Ethan Machej, Sydney Causgrove and Evan Causgrove. She was also a doting mom to her wonderful Westie dog Connor. She is survived by sisters, Dianne Kennedy and Deidre Buechler and predeceased by sister, Daphne Lindsay. She will be greatly missed by her many friends from One Health Club where she enjoyed Aquafit and the friendships and support which went beyond the pool. Originally born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, she lived across Canada, creating a home and friendships wherever they went. Her strength, love and creativity will be remembered and cherished by those who knew her, forever. Friends are invited to a funeral service to be held at St.Bride's Anglican Church, 1516 Clarkson Road North, Mississauga, ON, at 10:00 am on Monday, November 6, 2017, followed by a reception immediately after at Turner & Porter - Peel Chapel, 2180 Hurontario Street, Mississauga, ON.

It has been a happy time in my health club membership to have known and loved and appreciated Dilys' friendship. Her generosity and good spirits lifted all who met and chatted with her over coffee as well as her enthusiasm and energy she gave to make the social events which she organized a pleasant time for all. This picture with her smile and pretty appearance says it all. Her courage during her illness is to be admired and we all will miss her.

I have very fond memories of Dilys. She was very warm, inclusive and always positive. I met her at One Health and know she was very much liked and will be missed.
Sympathies to all the family.

Dilys was always a cheerful friend and we all enjoyed her joyful spirit with us at Aquafit. She had the ability to make a cloudy day sunny. Condolences to all her family. Cherish all those happy memories of your loved one.

My sister Dilys has always been a very artistic creative person. I remember one particular Christmas when Dilys wrapped all the Christmas presents except her own. I will miss my dear sister especially her beauiful Christmas dinners.

This is from her loving sister Deidre.

Dilys, you were always so artistic and creative my sweet beautiful sister. All who knew you will miss you forever. This is a sad end to such a vibrant woman. Love and miss you forever.
