Obituary of Gloria Giustina Liut

Passed peacefully on Saturday, October 24, in her 99th year. Born in Depot Harbour, Ontario - one of eight children born to Giancito and Favorita (Cellighan) Brunatti. Predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Anthony Liut (1921-2012). Dear mother of John, Brenda Bonner (William), Michael (Mary Ann), and Paul (Jo-Anne). Loving grandmother to ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Gloria met Anthony in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario in 1941, married and raised their family in Toronto and Woodbridge before retirement brought them to Tecumseh. Gloria was a passionate and hardworking mother who believed home was a special place and the kitchen table was sacred. The Liut home is fondly remembered by family and friends as a welcoming place that managed to always have room for one more. Her knack for feeding a crowd without formal notice never ceased to impress those who had the honour of her company. While she did not have the privilege of a formal education she was incredibly well read and quietly helped others in need. Her passion was decency and she spent a lifetime fighting its enemies. Her legacy lives on. Special thank you to the people at Oak Park Terrace as well as the Palliative Care team at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital for the care they have provided. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of her life will be held a later date. If so desired donations may be made to the Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital Foundation.
