Obituary

BITE, Gaida…

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grandmother, Gaida Bite (nee Abolins). She was born in 1932 in Bebri, Latvia. She survived Soviet persecution during the Second World War and subsequent life in post war refugee camps to make her way to Canada in 1950. Once in Canada, she met and married the love of her life, a fellow Latvian refugee and war veteran, the late Eriks Bite. They had three wonderful children and 4 much loved grand children. She passed away peacefully at home on July 19, 2015, after celebrating her 83rd birthday with both her sons. She will be forever missed and held in loving memory by her son Dr. Uldis Bite and his wife Lorena; grandchildren, Dr. Anna Bite and Kris; Julia and Eric; Marisa; Aaron and Elizabeth; and Paul; son Karlis Bite and Maala; Nalin, Anaka and Akash. She was predeceased by daughter Valda, granddaughter Lija, and her many pets. Friends will be received by family on Friday July 24, 2015 from 2-4pm and 7-9pm at A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, where the services will be held on Saturday July 25, 2015 at 11am. Interment to follow at Woodland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gaida’s memory would be appreciated to your local Humane Society.

    Deepest condolences to your family from ours. Even though it has been years since we last met I still have fond memories of our families visiting in Belmont when we were kids.
    Our thoughts are with you.
