It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of Dahlia Davis. Dahlia joined Baycrest Hospital in March 1986 as a Registered Practical Nurse, working on Unit 5 East until her retirement in 2016. Dahlia demonstrated her continued commitment to Baycrest by working on a casual basis until November 2022.

Dahlia is described by her peers as a strong, brave, and vocal – making her a fierce advocate for both patients and her colleagues. Dahlia is remembered for the way that she would find the opportunity to impart her knowledge to nursing students at any teachable moment, in a natural and nurturing way. Dahlia’s peers reflect on her ability to “always find the vein”, and her exceptional cooking skills shared at potlucks. Dahlia was a well-respected nurse who provided exceptional care for her patients.

A memorial table is set up at Baycrest Hospital Fifth Floor Lobby area, with a book of condolences that will be given to her family. Online condolences may be made using the "Guestbook" feature of this website.

Friends may call at the Turner & Porter “Peel Chapel”, 2180 Hurontario Street, (Hwy 10, N. of QEW) Mississauga, on Friday April 4 from 2-4 & 6-8 pm. A Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Saturday April 5, 2025 at 11 am. Interment St. John’s Dixie Cemetery.

A SON’S TRIBUTE

My dearest Mother, though our time in the flesh has passed.
Your love's a light, forever brightly shown.
For all the years, the love, laughter, and the tears,
I thank you, Mother dearest, for weathering the years.
Your guiding hand, comfort in my plight,
Your forever wisdom, shining ever bright.
A heart of goodness, a strong and true spirit,
A legacy of love, forever in me from you.
Though my words may fail to capture all you are,
My love for you will never fade in time.
I will carry on, with the strength you have instill in me,
And to live a life that honors you, eternally.

Your Son Always,
Delroy A Miller
