In Celebration of

Maureen Patricia Sones

September 27, 1922 -  January 25, 2020

Sones, Maureen Patricia on January 25, 2020, in her 98th year said her final farewell surrounded by her loved ones.

Born in Dublin, Ireland September 27, 1922. Upon the death of their young mother, Maureen and her two sisters Paddy and Joan grew up in a convent in Monaghan, Ireland. She joined the WRENS at the beginning of WW II. In 1952, along with her young son David, sister Paddy, brother-in-law Robert and their daughter Deirdre emigrated to Canada. Maureen met, fell in love and married Ben Sones. They added to their family a daughter Maureen Elizabeth. Maureen began a new career as a dental assistant for 33 years and retired at age 72. She continued to volunteer at Credit Valley Hospital for 6 years. Her faith and church life were her foundation. Her joy, generosity and kindness was felt by everyone who knew her. Exuding positivity, no one was a stranger in her presence for long; never to be forgotten was her sassy sense of humour.

We would like to thank Dr. Andrew Ng for all the many years of excellent care, palliative care team at Trillium Health Partners C Site, St. Peter's Hospital with a special thanks to Dr. Taniguchi, Deborah, Aruna and all the staff.

She is loved by David (Ellen), Maureen (Michael), grandchildren Michael (Sarah), Sarah, Meridee, Benjamin, Aislinn and great-granddaughter Rae. Also including friends and family in Canada and abroad.

Auntie Maureen was an incredible person. She had such a long and wonderful life. Through her 98 years, she spread her grace and kindness around and inspired and affected many close to her. I will remember her as spirited, loyal, loving and so easy going.

She made such an impression on me when I was young and continues to do so today. How lucky we all are to have had the Thomson sisters guide us and show us how we can be in this world.

Love you auntie Mo. xoxo

Sorry we could not attend but we are in the DR, as you know.
She was a lovely woman and will be surely missed by all. When we got together, I really enjoyed our conversations about the past in Ireland .
We are thinking of you both and when we get home (late May) would like to get together for lunch and catch up after the winter.
Again, our condolences.

I have never met anyone with such a strength like she had. Nothing could keep her spirit down. Unfortunately her earthly body couldn't contain her spirit any longer. Wishing her peace as she returns "home".

Prayers and blessings to all the family.

Love,
Michelle, Erick, Anneleh and Ethan.

Maureen was such a beautiful woman. She loved everyone and made you feel special when she spoke with you. We sat side by side in church for many years and I will miss that too. God bless all your family, David and Maureen. You had a wonderful mom.
