McVICAR, Teresa Mary (nee Camilleri) Schaper -
August 11, 1929 - September 5, 2023
94 Years Old It’s with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mother- Teresa Mary Schaper (nee Camilleri).
Watched over by all those who loved her.
Wonderful mother to Jim & Rob (Chandra). Loving Grandmother to Chris (Jessica), Brad, Ciara (Allister) & Kohl, Great Grandmother to Kayce. Loving wife to the late Karl Schaper & Alex McVicar.
Teresa, or Terry to those who knew her, grew up in a busy home on the Danforth with her 7 siblings. Teresa’s father had immigrated to Canada from Malta, and opened a small storefront business while raising their family in the overhead apartment.
Terry met her husband, Alex, at a dance and not after too long did they have a home and boys of their own after settling in Stouffville on Baker Street.
An avid crafter of delicious lemon meringue pies, Terry was famous for her “tear your face off tarte” filling - a passion taken on by her son, Rob, who has proudly followed in her footsteps and mastered her recipe.
Terry was a fixture of our family gatherings, always present for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, piano recitals or family BBQs.
With love, we will say as Mom always said to us: Don’t say good-bye, say so long.
Cremation has taken place - A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
