In Loving Memory of Meta Hope
February 5, 1928 – October 26, 2023
It is with hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother Meta on Thursday, October 26, 2023 at the age of 95. Meta is reunited with her devoted husband Keith Hope. Loving mother of Kathy (David Lewis) and Bill (Karen Yakashiro). Cherished grandmother of Olivia Lewis and the late Grayson Lewis. Survived by her sister Eleanor Ward. Predeceased by her parents, John Milton and Carmen Leotta (Dolly) Ward and predeceased by her siblings Elaine, Grace, John, and Randal Ward. Meta will be fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews family and friends.
Meta was described as a wonderfully elegant lady who was very stylish. To her children, she was a great source for advice and humour. To her grandchildren she was a fabulous grandmother. She was born and raised in Barbados. She and her husband Keith moved to their new home in Canada with their young daughter Katheryn in 1959. A few years later, she and Keith added their son William to their family. She worked as a secretary in the government in Barbados, at CNR in Montreal and eventually became a legal secretary in one of the top law firms in Canada and the government of Ontario. Her expertise in shorthand was an asset in her career.
Meta was very social and loved reading, listening to music, and dancing. She learned to ice skate and to sew in her early forties. She hated anything to do with numbers but loved working on crossword puzzles with Keith especially while sitting on their porch. She loved taking long walks, especially in shopping malls.
The Hope family wish to extend our appreciation to the staff, personal support workers, nurses and her doctor at Kipling Acres. And a special thank you to Atsed, Obah and Myrtle.
Resting at NEWEDIUK FUNERAL HOME, KIPLING CHAPEL, 2058 Kipling Avenue, Toronto (north of Rexdale Blvd), on Friday, November 3, 2023 from 3 p.m. – 8 p.m. Funeral Service will be celebrated on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at St. John’s Anglican Church 719 Dundas Street East, Mississauga at 11 a.m. (the family will receive their friends in the church for visitation from 10 a.m. until service time at 11 a.m.)
Meta’s love of music was illustrated in the joy she exhibited while listening and singing to playlists provided by the Alzheimer Society. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario or to a charity of your choice. You can also honour Meta’s memory by sharing a long walk with a loved one or friend and being mindful of others.
