BRUCE, Sandra - The Bruce and Lyons family are all deeply saddened to announce the passing of Sandra Bruce on October 23, 2020 after a six month battle with cancer.
In her 76 years, Sandra savoured and poured her heart and soul into every moment of life, understanding better than any one that time was precious.
Not a second was wasted.
Smart, independent and driven, she was born in Sudbury, Ontario on June 27, 1944 and moved to Toronto in 1965, building a successful 39-year career at the Bank of Montreal while raising a family of three.
Sandra touched many lives, bringing a sense of curiousity and passion for life that was an inspiration to all. She will be forever loved by her husband and soulmate Patrick Lyons, children Chris Bruce (Dana), Kathleen Bruce (Michael), Cary Bruce (Dana) and stepchildren Suzanne Lyons (Perry) and Gordon Lyons. To the Grandkids Cameron, Siobhan, Mara, Connor, Duncan, Andrew, Quentin and Joel, Grandma gave the gift of love and countless special experiences.
Sandra will also be greatly missed by her siblings – Jackie Diasio (Joe), Patricia Alexander (Ted), and Reginald Moore (Darlene).
Sandra, Mom and Grandma – we will miss you more than words can say but find comfort in knowing your spirit remains within each of us – encouraging, inspiring and insisting in fact, for us to live on without ever sacrificing a moment.
A very small private family service will take place. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. Due to COVID restrictions, the visitation and funeral services will be held privately by invitation only.
While the family wishes you could all be with them in their time of loss, they appreciate your kind words and condolences.
