In Celebration of

Jane Annette Lindsay

January 24, 1939 -  November 19, 2022

(Jane) Annette Lindsay was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She passed away peacefully on November 19, 2022 at the age of 83.

She was born to John and Marie Miglec on January 24, 1939 and lived an adventurous life with her husband Peter. Together, they had two children, Jennifer and Chris (Catherine), and six wonderful grandchildren: Matthew, Charlotte, Myah, Frances, James, and Nicholas.

Annette loved to travel and saw many parts of the world, and when not travelling, she would find peace spending time at her cottage enjoying reading and crosswords. As a teacher with the Toronto Board of Education, she made an impact on everyone around her. Her passion for both learning and teaching was profound throughout her entire life. She was an active volunteer with a variety of organizations including Victoria College, CARE International, Islington United Church Refugee Committee, and Street Haven to name a few. Her lifetime of altruism was always apparent in her willingness to help others. Most importantly, she was a terrific mother and grandmother and will always be remembered for her love and kindness.

Hi Peter and family.

I am so sorry to hear Mig has died. I loved the picture of her with the obituary. Brings back many happy, fun times.

Take care of yourselves.

Anne Liphardt (Vic Book Sale Co-Chair of volunteers with Annette)

Annette was a volunteer coordinator par excellence
and I enjoyed many years sharing responsibility with Annette for our dependable corps of Book Sale volunteers . At times we despaired of covering all our bases but the volunteers became our friends and we knew we could depend on them.
I am sill involved with the sale as “hospitality coordinator” and each year I bring out Annette’s green coffee maker when I set up the hospitality room and remember our partnership in helping the Book Sale to be such a great volunteer experience.
We still speak of Annette at Book Sale time and I hope her family takes some solace in the positive force she was around the Sale.
And Peter, we cannot forget how you helped to coordinate our daily roster of volunteers upon which Annette and I depended.
This is a sad time for all of you and I send my sincere condolences,
Anne Liphardt

Carol [Jenner] Danbrook (I was a student at Victoria University when she was on our flooror)

Entered November 22, 2022 from Brampton

I remember as one of the most brilliant students on our floor at Margaret Addison Hall. She was loved by everyone and admired for her creativity and intelligence.
In the following years I followed her activities through my cousin Norma who enjoyed Annette's involvement in a book club.. I know she was indeed a unique individual who will be missed by everyone who knew her.
