Erica Elmine Travis
(née Brandes)
It is with great sadness that we announce Erica’s passing on Wednesday, December 29, 2021. Predeceased by her adoring husband William. Dearly beloved daughter of the late Sheva and the late Berl Brandes. Treasured mother and mother-in-law of Felicia and the late Sidney Valo, Arlene Travis and Ryan Stone. She will be dearly missed by her step-grandchildren Ilana Valo and Josh Silvertown, Shana and Michael Peiser, Michael and Rebecca Valo; and great-grandchildren Cydney, and Jack Silvertown; Jacob, and Isabelle Peiser; Judah, Cohen, and Sage Valo. She will be lovingly remembered by all who had the good fortune of knowing her. The family would like to thank her exceptional team of caregivers (TE) expertly headed by Ditas and fully supported by the wonderful and devoted care of Juby, Karen, Christina and Rona. A special debt of gratitude to Dr. Céline Laferrière for her compassionate and dedicated care.
After the war, Erica lived in Israel and was proudly there when it was declared a State. She spent her life volunteering and supporting the Jewish communities in Quebec City and Montreal. Erica was a very talented artist who loved music and the arts. She loved her family dearly and was very protective of them. Erica’s wit, astuteness, and intelligence were defining qualities which truly set her apart.
A private graveside service will take place. Shiva strictly private in Toronto.
Contributions in her memory may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Quebec (800) 567-8563 or to the charity of your choice.
