After many years of welcoming friends and family to her home and cottage, our hostess has handed in her apron and formally retired. Virginia “Ginny” Torode, beloved wife of Edward (Ted) for almost 65 years has passed away at Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville, on Wednesday, July 21, 2010. She has left a pattern of unselfish love for her four daughters to follow: Donna and BobTaylor, Helen and Paul Evans, Jill and Joe Wancha and Jackie and Tim Morrison. Her eleven grandchildren can speak with authority on the values she has imparted to them. Her five baby great grandchildren will learn the stories in the years to come as they are passed on.

When we first met Virginia and Ted we were the new neighbors moving in. They were the first two to come over to our home with a bottle of white wine and welcome us to the neighborhood. We thought how sweet and generous. They also came to our home when we had our son Nathan, Virgina was hands on and gave me some good pointers and even when holding Nate she sang to him.
We will cherish these memories of her forever. We will miss her very much. To the Torode family we extend our deepest sympathy.

Hello Ted
Sorry to hear the loss of your wife Ginny. You were given many good years with her and raised a beautiful family.
My remembrance of you is when we worked together at CDN Coleman for many years at North Queen Street.
I hope you remember me as I`ve been retired from Coleman for the last 13 years, at that time i worked under George Milburn and you Harry Lucas.
May God Bless you at this time
Leonard Oreskovich and wife Irene
