With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mom, Victoria Seymour.  Born in St. Paul's Bay, Malta, on September 7, 1936, Vicki passed ever so peacefully into God's loving arms on the afternoon of Saturday March 9th, surrounded by her entire family.  Left to mourn her loss and carry on her memory are her devoted children, Clyde (Amanda) and Giselle (Sebastian); her precious grandchildren, Connor, Jack, Noah and Joshua; her sisters Connie, Doris (Joe) and Pauline (Andrew); her nieces Clare, Sharon, Tanya, and Rosanne (Karm); and, sister-in-law Carmen.  Vicki is now reunited in Heaven with her husband Emmanuel; parents, John & Josephine; and brothers Sam, Joe, Fr. Raymond, Val and Anthony.  Our mom carried herself with such grace throughout her life, regardless of the hurdles placed in her way, treating all she met with love, compassion and genuine kindness.  She loved her family and friends fiercely and would do anything to ensure their happiness.  Vicki gained great strength and solace from her faith and could be found praying the rosary when not immersed in her tablet completing puzzles or on social media.  On behalf of our mom, we wish to thank Dr. Selvarajah, Dr. Strevel, Dr. Khan and the many nurses for their dedicated care.  It has been said that, "When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live. So live!".  Boy, oh, boy, did our mom ever live!

Visitation in celebration of Vicki's life will be held on Friday March 15th at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home (Oakville), 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm.  Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday March 16th at St. Matthew Parish (Oakville) at 11:00 am with interment to follow at Assumption Catholic Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or First Book Canada in Vicki's honour are appreciated.
