It is with heavy hearts that the family of Frances announces her passing on Sunday January 3, 2021. Frances was a loving wife to the late Hedley and older sister to brother Edward Flynn. A wonderful mom and mother-in-law to Laurie Tilley, Kerry and Sue Cross and Marni and Peter Stone. Treasured nana to Erin, Jay, Jeff, Allison, Patrick and Jennifer. Great-grandmother to Hudson and Silas.
She was born in Montreal but raised in Kingston, Ont. She met her future husband at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, then moved west to settle in a small town called Oakville where she lived her entire married life on Gloucester Ave. Frances was a lifelong friend to many and enjoyed numerous social activities such as, playing bridge well into her 90s, gourmet luncheons, university women's club, sailing, curling and cottage life on Lake Mazinaw. Her affiliation with Knox Presbyterian Church, where she was an active member of the choir, spanned many years. Travel abroad to visit with family was also something she always enjoyed. Friends and family came together for a joyous celebration of Frances's 100th birthday — she passed just shy of her 104th. We would like to thank the entire team at Creekway Village, especially the staff on Lakeshore for their kind and caring ways with "Frannie" over the past 9 years. A private family memorial took place in the springtime. Online condolences can be left at

On Tue., Dec. 29, 2020, Kye Christian Andrepoulos, beloved son of Christine Andreopoulos and the late Chris Andreopoulos (-2007), passed away suddenly at the age of 28, in Toronto.
Kye was born on May 22, 1992, in Toronto, at Women's College Hospital. He brought great joy to everyone around him, especially his parents. Kye was an extraordinary young man — social, laid back and approachable. He had the rare gift of being a great listener and was known as an interesting conversationalist who could debate any topic with a keen wit, humour, and intelligence. His energy and creativity were boundless.
He was talented, whether it was music (especially drums, where he was self-taught), writing (short stories/poetry/commentaries) or analytics and business (Bell, Flipp, Briq). He was also an awesome Karaoke partner and sang and danced as if no one was watching. His joie de vivre was inspiring to many. Kye was forward-thinking and extremely curious about the world and the people in it. He was loving, kind, gregarious, full of life and ambition, an innovator who had big dreams and worked tirelessly to try to realize them.
He packed a lot of experience into his young life, from volunteering across Canada with the Katimavik program, to heading many committees at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥, where he studied Economics and Politics, to earning a full scholarship on an exchange to St. Andrews in Edinburgh, Scotland, and completing an internship in London, England. He travelled to many countries and loved diverse cultures and foods, especially his Asian spicy soups. He even took a gap year after high school (Jarvis) to study feminism and feminist literature at Inglenook school for half a year.
Kye was an old soul with wisdom beyond his years. He was selfless and loyal to his friends and especially to his mom Christine, with whom he shared an incredibly close bond, despite the many challenges he faced in recent years. Kye will be remembered for his kindness, encouragement, loyalty, quick wit, brilliant sense of humour, energy, and infectious smile. He was a positive influence on many and will continue to inspire those whose lives he touched. His loving and devoted dad would have been so proud of him. Kye will be sorely missed by his many friends, and especially by his mother, who has lost her son and best friend. She is consoled by the last words he said to her, "I love you." A memorial will be held in Kye's honour once COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted. Please also visit his remembrance page at remembr.com/kye.andreopoulos celebrating Kye's life.
