EATON, Christine Zofia 'Chris' - Christine Zofia Eaton, 87, passed away peacefully at home on August 8, 2019 with loved ones by her side.
She was the eldest daughter of Joseph and Karolina Chowaniec, born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
She graduated from Western Technical-Commercial School. She later worked at the Queensway Hospital as an Admitting Clerk, where she developed close life-long friendships with nurses and other clerical workers.
She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life like reading, listening to music, watching TV (especially Coronation Street and the NY Yankees), chatting on the phone, visiting with friends and family, spending time at her cottage, and teaching her grandchildren. She also loved shopping and keeping her mind active through crosswords, jumbles and Sudoku puzzles.
Chris was an irresistibly engaging conversationalist who will be remembered for her quick wit, compassionate heart, wealth of knowledge, and supportive nature.
She was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and a dear friend to many.
She is survived by her children: Andrew Eaton (Jennie Jones), Alan Eaton, Susan Saba (Raymond), and Linda Bond (Stephen); her grandchildren: Alice Jones Eaton, Robin Jones Eaton, Joseph Saba, Christopher Saba (Laura), Jacquelyn Saba (Peter), Michael Saba (Christine), Lauren Esquivel Yorke, and Matthew Esquivel; her great grandson: Charles Saba; her brother-in-law: Marino (Min) Basadur; her nephews: Tim Basadur (Viv), Steve Basadur (Liuba, Tim Jr.), Bob Basadur (Leighan, Dougie, Molly); and her extended family: Raymond Saba (Rita, Marcus, Andre), Vivienne Saba Gesa (John, Dilana), and Nick Saba (Maria, Christina, Michael).
She was predeceased by her spouse Alan Eaton, both parents, her younger sister Eleanor, younger brother Leonard, and her pet cat Willy.
