It’s with great sadness our family wishes to pass along the news that Mary Elizabeth “Beth” Brawn (nee Neale) peacefully passed away on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. Loving wife to William Clare Brawn for 65 years; Mother to Charles (Nancy), Carolyn (Kevin Hillier), Catherine and Grandma to Jason Hillier. Sister to Joyce (Bob Strong dec.), Eleanor (Fred Eggert dec.), Roger (Sharon) and predeceased by Bill (Doris), Ray (Helen) and Shirley (Bernard van Fleet).

Beth was always active be it with her kids’ school activities, the condo building’s recreation committee or as a founding member of the Etobicoke Geneological Group (EGG). She enjoyed the ballet, art galleries, theatre, movies and people watching at Blue Jay games. She was an enthusiastic traveller who travelled across Canada and many different countries including Australia, New Zealand, China and California. She was an avid reader and interested in all things. She was our encyclopedia before Google.

She enjoyed family gatherings at Christmas, New Year’s, Mother’s Day and especially the Rememberance Day lunches. She loved her extended family and friends.

Visitation and funeral service will be held at Turner & Porter’s Butler Chapel on Thursday, June 12, 2025 . Visitation starts at 10 am. Service is at 11 am with refreshments following.

If you wish to make a donation in Beth’s name please give to a charity of your choice.

We love you. We miss you. Rest in peace
