Dear Bill,
My sincere condolences . My Mom, Sadie Sander always enjoyed 
it when “Weaver” would pop in for a visit. She especially liked it 
when Elizabeth would arrive on her bike with her little dog 
riding shotgun in the basket in front! 
           With warm regards,
                  Jane Sander

Elizabeth Weaver was a beautiful soul. She had a sparkle in her eye and a smile that is from ear to ear. You couldn’t help but smile or laugh when you were with her, it was contagious. She was my manager at Dufferin Phone Centre for years and I learned quite a bit from her. Somethings I still do and observe those things to this day. We will all miss you Elizabeth. May God bless you Bill and the rest of the family with peace and comfort as you go through this sorrowful time.

A beautiful neighbour with a bright spirit.  Elizabeth would always stop to talk to the kids on the sidewalk and ask them what they were up to or give me advice about our little dog.  Her bright smile and friendly nature made her a neighborhood gem and she will be missed dearly.  

May she rest in peace.

Elizabeth came into my life many years ago when I moved from Quebec to the phone center at Yorkdale.  She took me under her wing and help me navigate the big city and new environment. It was the beginning of a 38 years relationship. We worked side by side until our retirements.  But Elizabeth was not done with me yet. We collaborated in the dog sitting/walking for another 10 years. She was a dog lover, as was I, and we bonded over our love of animals.

She was a great mentor,  always gave good advice, she was a teacher, always so patient.  She could “shoot from the hip” but never intended to hurt you.

I had the good fortune of spending a lot of time with her towards the end running errands or just sitting quietly reminiscing and laughing… oh yes we laughed a lot.  I admired her courage, determination, pushing forward, never stepping one step back.

I will remember her infectious smile and contagious laughter for ever.  Our face time calls starting with her saying “hello angel” and ending with “I love you baby”.  She is now the angel looking down on me and all of us.

I love you dear friend and always will.  I miss you already.

My sincere condolences to Bill and family.

Our family was blessed to have Elizabeth as a neighbour, friend, and second auntie to all our family dogs.  We met shortly after moving in, and her bichon , Amber, came running into our home to welcome us. 
She was always so  cheery whenever you ran into her or had the chance to listen to her answering phone greetings. You could only be put in a joyful mood when you spent time walking with her and her many loved dogs, or sitting on her back deck taking in the splendor of her yard.  She was instrumental in us adopting our family dog, Khea, and we are forever grateful for her love and support  to all our dogs she welcomed to her home. 
Her photography gifts were always most appreciated and adorn our home.  You could always turn to her for advice - she was a wealth of knowledge. 
I will miss her infectious laugh and smile, and sense of humour, even through the many battles she faced in health.  
I envision her smiling,  pain free, with her arms full of all her beloved animals.  
God bless you Elizabeth.  You will be greatly missed and forever remembered in our family.

Oh Elizabeth!  Many years ago, I adopted a 7 yr old, (120 lb) German Shepherd, who supposedly had cancer and only three months to live. I needed a mid day dog walker and was referred by my vet to Elizabeth.  She was very nervous about German Shepherds but agreed to meet him.  Cody LOVED Elizabeth and it was love at first sight for her as well.  Three months turned into four years and when it was time to say goodbye to Cody, she asked to be present.  That’s how special Elizabeth was and I can’t think about Cody without thinking about how much she loved and cared for him.  There have since been many, many more dogs in her life and she has loved them all……in addition to the cats and anything else with legs or wings that came into her yard!

Elizabeth was an amazing friend but she was also like a big sister, a wonderful  photography teacher, fantastic cook, great travelling companion, personal shopper, and someone I could call day or night. She had a wonderful sense of humour and her laugh was contagious. I considered myself very lucky to have a friend like her and I will treasure all the fun times we had and never forget how silly we could be.  

“It takes a day to find a friend, a moment to lose them and a lifetime to forget them”. Forever in my heart.

A bright light that will be missed by many. Elizabeth was a wonderful neighbour who always brightened our day with her infectious smile and positive independent attitude. 

She helped us choose a new addition to our family, our beautiful Bichon Casey. She always said he was an ‘old soul’ dog,  and she was right. She looked after him when we went away.  Casey’s second home. Thank you Elizabeth!

Our sincere condolences

We met Elizabeth at the Courtyards condos down in Cape Coral Florida where we also had a condo. Life at the Courtyards would have been so dull without Elizabeth. She was our friendly, loveable social activities person. She had a wonderful spirit and loved by everyone. If we needed anything done, Liz was our go to person. Our sincere condolences to the family. She will be sorely missed.

I first met Elizabeth, via referral, when I needed my wee dogs to be boarded for a week.  Her exuberant and loving nature endeared her to me immediately and I left for vacation feeling certain my dogs would be well taken care of.  That was a number of years ago but thankfully we kept in touch along the way and spent some time together in Florida.  Such a wonderful lady with a HUGE heart.  I heard from her only a few short weeks ago commenting on my new little rescue pup.  I will miss her terribly.  Heaven has gained another angel for sure.  My sincere condolences to Bill and family...xo

So sorry to the family for your loss of a wonderful woman.  I will never forget Elizabeth's contagious laughter, smile and her happiness.  She was an absolute pleasure to work with at the Phonecentre, and a great boss.  She will be sadly missed.  Heaven has gained an angel.  Cindy Voss

Elizabeth was always a light in the storm for many people including me. She cared for my Buddy Boy as if he were her own. She was warm, friendly, had such empathy, such a sense of responsibility for all in her charge. The world is a little darker now her light is no longer shining…..she touched so many.

My dear Aunt, you were like a second mother to me.My father’s twin and an integral part of our family from the very beginning.

Today, I had a question I needed answered, and my first instinct was to call you. I am already deeply missing you.

I think back fondly of our time together, staying at your house, the sleepovers with Charlotte and our 8am waffle wake up call. Also, your trips to the cottage made ours even more special. The white dogs running around getting filthy in the mud. Our camp nights on the deck, swimming, birdwatching, photography, our cruise, and Florida trip where we spent hours each day photographing pelicans. All those moments remain precious.

I’ll miss early morning chats. Your infectious joy, your boundless energy, and our shared understanding of being the youngest girl in the family. You always knew the challenges of being heard, and it comforted me knowing you understood.

I was blessed to know you not only as family but also in the professional world. Working with you was a true honour. You were so accomplished, a true leader and an inspiration—someone I admired deeply. My career wouldn't be where I was if it wasn’t for what you demonstrated. The bonds you made with everyone in the workplace and beyond was so inspiring.

Your love and loyalty to our family, the connection you shared with us all and including our pets, goes without saying. You helped save Dad’s life and you were there to support us during those difficult times as well as the joyous ones.

The warmth you extended to Jon and the affection you had with our kids—your great-niece and nephews. I am so glad you got to see them recently.

You leave behind a legacy of community, strength, and kindness. Your joy and compassion will be carried on in our family and we will hold your memory in our hearts always. Love Christine, Jon, Andrew, Evan and Juliet.

I was first introduced to Elizabeth for doggy daycare. It was love at first sight for my family and my pup. Elizabeth was vibrant, full of life and so caring. We felt at ease knowing our little girl was well cared for as Elizabeth considered herself Sugars 2nd mom in my absence. Our friendship bloomed over the last 11 years. My work colleagues all knew her as my adoptive aunt  as she was fondly referred as. Not that you would expect special perks being “related” to a Mackenzie Health Hospital staff member but it sure helped at times. It was on my working days, I was fortunate enough to spend my lunch hour with her when she was admitted. The best days were wheelchair outings to Mill pond where Elizabeth chatted to every passing dog!  I will especially miss my regular Saturday visits chatting around the kitchen table, watching the birds in the garden while eating Elizabeths amazing soup for lunch. She was a great cook amongst many other things.  Her love for animals/birds was unwavering. If it had a heartbeat she fed it, Elizabeth and Bills back garden oasis, is  like a Mandarin Buffet for the wild creatures that are routinely fed every day even in the frigid cold of winter! That’s pure love and dedication.
Elizabeths smile was contagious, her eyes were warm, her heart was massive and the void she now leaves in this world is just as big!! Heartfelt Condolences to Bill ❤️ And all of her family and friends.  Elizabeth will be missed dearly.

So many fond memories of Elizabeth from our many years at Bell …from the Business Office in Barrie in the 70’s to ?our Phonecentre days. Elizabeth was always happy and positive…her attitude reflected on every one else. Her passion for the animals in her live was so great…the first one I remember was her Timmie and the rest just kept following. Deepest condolences to Bill and her Family who she talked about often with love. Thank you Elizabeth for our 50 years of Friendship. Rest in Peace.
