GARCÍA,
Marlies▲▼
Passed away this May 5th 2008 at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto,
after a long illness, surrounded by her beloved family: Fernando,
Gisela and Rudi. Marlies retired in the year 2000 after 26 years
involvement in the Toronto District School Board: first volunteering,
then as a part-time Teacher of English as a Second Language,
later followed by ten years of intensive full-time engagement
at the Mimico Adult Centre. She was very proud of her commitment
and achievements in teaching English to new Canadians and assisting
them with counseling and guidance towards employment. She arrived
from Chile with her husband and children in 1974 after living
there for ten years. Marlies belonged to a generation of European
youth who, in the sixties, heard the call of John XXIII to
become involved helping developing countries. She joined a team
of Belgian community workers who travelled to Chile. With her
gift for languages, Marlies spoke French, Spanish and English
fluently, in addition to her native German. Always a natural
leader, she enjoyed life and socializing with people. She loved
her family and Friends. She will be missed by many -- from Canada,
Chile and Germany. Marlies was 72 years old. Friends may call
at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere
Ave., east of Jane subway, from 2-4 and 7-9 on Friday. Funeral
Mass to be held on Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 10: 30 a.m. at St.
Leo's Roman Catholic Church, 277 Royal York Road. Cremation to
follow. Donations In Marlies memory may be made to Sisters of
