Obituary
In loving memory of Mimi Borromeo, who gracefully departed this world on February 20, 2024, surrounded by her cherished family. Her courageous battle with Guillain Barre Syndrome showcased the strength that defined her remarkable character.
Today, we gather to celebrate the extraordinary life of a woman who wore many titles with grace and love—beloved Mom of three children, John, Geraldine, and Mark; Grammy to six wonderful souls, Sydney, Alyssa, Justin, Ryan, Lauren, and John, devoted sister; and Ninang or Tita to countless nieces and nephews.
Born on January 30, 1944, to Demetrio and Patrocinio Dimacali in Manila, Philippines, Mimi embarked on a journey that touched many lives. Educated at St. Theresa’s College with a passion for business her pursuit of knowledge laid the foundation for a life filled with purpose.
In 1973, Mimi bravely immigrated to Canada with her family. In this unfamiliar land, she built a home and raised her beloved children. She radiated the virtues of unconditional love and boundless generosity, evident in her nurturing care for her children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends.
Mimi’s professional journey as an accountant and entrepreneur further enriched her diverse and fulfilling life. However, her most enduring legacy was written in her 30+ year devotion as lead sacristan at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. She not only served the Lord with unwavering dedication but also embraced the role of a nurturing mother to the parish community. She was famous for hosting parties that gathered the clergy and community for birthday celebrations, anniversaries, or simply for the joy of spending time with one another. She was the glue that kept her family and friends together.
Affectionately known as “Tita Mimi” to many, she wholeheartedly served her church community and held a special place in her heart for every young altar server she was called to mentor. “Tita Mimi” was more than a name; she was a beacon of warmth and guidance for all who crossed her path. Throughout her life, she threaded love and devotion, weaving a legacy that touched the hearts of many. Beyond her commitments, Mimi’s compassion extended to her four-legged children, Jaboa, Corrie, Charlie, Sparky, Duke, and Daisy. She was a beautiful soul, a fighter until the end, displaying kindness and passion that left an indelible mark on countless lives. In her final weeks, the outpouring of video calls, letters, and visits brought her immeasurable joy, peace, and comfort. Whether addressed as Mimi, Tita Mimi, Grammy, or Mom, she holds a unique place in each of our lives. She leaves behind a legacy of love, celebration, and an unwavering commitment to serving God and others—a legacy we must carry forward with the same joy that defined her remarkable life. As we bid her farewell, we extend our deepest gratitude for the love and warmth she shared. Let us remember her not with tears of sorrow, but with the smiles and laughter she so effortlessly shared with us all.
Visitation will be at Holy Cross Funeral Home in Thornhill, Ontario, on Monday, February 26, and Tuesday, February 27, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The funeral mass and reception to follow will take place at St. Thomas The Apostle Church in Markham, Ontario, on Wednesday, February 28, at 2:00 pm.

Record a short video message or share photos or written stories about how Mimi impacted your life and send them to sydney_aquino@hotmail.com by February 25th.
