SONLEY, Dr. Marilyn Jeanne - Dr. Marilyn Sonley, a life-saving oncologist, dedicated to the welfare of children with cancer, has passed away in her 90th year on July 9, 2021 following a lengthy illness.
Dr. Sonley graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1955. From July 1, 1955 to June 30, 1956, she served as a rotating intern at Toronto General Hospital. Dr. Sonley then served as a resident and teaching fellow from 1959 to 1960 in Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital through The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Health Center.
After that, Dr. Sonley continued an extraordinary career spanning more than 30 years which was all the more remarkable because it commenced when few women went into medicine. She was a pioneering pediatric oncologist. She led the creation of childhood cancer divisions at Princess Margaret Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children, helping them become world-renowned centres of excellence.

CONSIDINE, Kevin - It is with great sadness that the family announces the unexpected passing of Kevin on Friday, July 9, 2021 at 48 years of age.
Kevin was an avid camper who was happiest sitting around a campfire and sleeping under the stars. His love for the outdoors began at the age of 5 when he embarked on his first canoe trip with his Father and continued the annual tradition for 42 years.
If you asked Kevin, his greatest accomplishment was being a father. His children Levi, Taylor, Cassandra and Tristen were the most important part of his life. Kevin’s partner of 14 years, Jodi, never embraced his love for the Montreal Canadiens but it was his handsome smile she truly adored and will miss most.
