JAGER, Maria (nee Grof) - Passed away peacefully at Michael Garron Hospital, Friday April 8th, 2022 in her 86th year after a courageous battle with cancer.
Beloved wife of the late Leslie Jager (1987).

Maria will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: Erin, Lauren, Kayley, Julia, Nicole, Claire, Eric, James and great-granddaughter, Ava.
Maria and Leslie settled in Bowmanville after leaving Hungary in 1956.
Together they built a home on Solina Road where Maria took great joy in hosting family gatherings and special dinners.

Maria loved her home, the cottage, her garden and above all, her family.
She will be missed by all who knew her.
Special thanks to the 5th floor staff at Midland Gardens Care Community.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
