CIOLFE, Greta…

Peacefully surrounded by family at Craigwiel Gardens, Ailsa Craig, on Thursday, February 3, 2022 Greta (nee Waddell) Ciolfe in her 93rd year.

Beloved wife of the late Alex “Butch” Ciolfe Sr. (2005). Cherished mother of Lorraine Moore (the late Bob) and Alex Ciolfe Jr. Loving Granny of Ryan (Leslie), Dayna (Shawn), Stephen, Daniel and loving GG of Reese, Kendell and Shelby. Predeceased by her siblings Tommy, Alex, Shirley and Marion.

Greta was born in Toronto but did her schooling in Scotland where she developed her lovely accent. She returned to Canada, as a young women, to work with her sisters at Planters Peanuts in Toronto until she met Butch, married and started her own family. Later on she worked for many years as a typesetter for the Venus Pencil Company. She eventually retired to become a fulltime Granny to her grandchildren. We shared many adventures, travels, special meals followed by the best apple, lemon pie and buttertarts and many many laughs. Greta had a great sense of humour, a beautiful heart and was always there for all of us. And, on occasion she loved a “wee” glass of gin and tonic. She was the strongest woman we knew and we are blessed to have shared our lives with her.  We miss you already. “Here’s to looking up your address!” Sweet dreams GG.

The family would like to thank the staff at Craigwiel Gardens for their care and compassion provided. Cremation has taken place with interment in a private family service at Memory Gardens Cemetery, Breslau. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. A.
