Unamarie Fawns
March 28, 1960 - December 5, 2015
On Saturday, December 5, 2015 the magnificent spirit of Una Fawns ascended into the afterlife at Toronto Western Hospital following complications from a spinal cord injury acquired almost 4 years ago. Una's personage was one of strength, courage and will. Within that, however, she possessed a heart for everyone. Through thick and thin, Una was there to help in whatever way she could. In passing Una became an organ donor and has extended the lives of two other people. Una's ascension was preceded by her parents, Jack and Marion Fawns. She will be sadly missed by her children Mercedes (Saydie) and Maximilian (Max) Fawns-Podstatzky, brothers Ken and Chris, sister Barb, sister-in-law Dawn and good friend Nick Podstatzky. Una was the loving aunt of Sarah, Dawn, Darren, Kris-Jan, Dale, Evan and Nathan. Special hearty thanks are extended to the caregivers and doctors at the E.W. Bickle Centre, Melinda, Dolly and Iladia of the Bayshore Agency, Jimmy of Motion Transit, Edna of Pro-Resp Toronto, and the amazing physiotherapy staff at Aim 2 Walk. While living as a quadriplegic since her accident made life very difficult for Una, she was grateful for the chance to live. The caring support of all those who gave encouragement to Una is greatly appreciated. A Funeral Service will be held at the TAYLOR FUNERAL HOME-NEWMARKET CHAPEL, 524 Davis Dr., 905-898-2100 on Friday, December 11, 2015 at 11:00a.m. with visitation one hour prior. Interment will follow at Foster Memorial Cemetery, Uxbridge. In lieu of flowers, kindly make a memorial donation in Una's memory to Spinal Cord Injury Ontario at www.sciontario.org/tribute-giving.
