Wendy Elizabeth Tanner

June 2, 2020

It is with great sadness in our hearts, but wonderful memories, we announce the passing of Wendy Elizabeth Vesper Tanner, 67, on June 2, 2020, in hospital in Toronto. A beloved daughter and sister, she is predeceased by her mother Gladys, and father Kenneth, and is survived by her brothers, Brian, and Andrew, plus numerous other relatives in the UK, Australia, and India. Wendy was born in India, but moved to England as a child with her family, before emigrating to Canada in the late 1980s. Wendy had a successful career as a trainer and educator, but always had time for family and friends, and established lasting relationships. She was loving, perspicacious, strong, creative, conscientious, compassionate and fun. After moving to Canada, Wendy lived in Montreal and in Toronto, making strong connections wherever she was. Wendy loved dance and music and was involved in both over the years. She will be greatly missed by her friends here. Wendy was passionate about social justice and advocated for many causes related to it. Donations made in her memory to any charities which support building a better world would warm her heart. Wendy also liked to support local charities, so choosing an organization in your community would be something she would appreciate. It was Wendy’s wish that a celebration of her life be held when we can once again gather together in person. A time for us to share memories, raise a glass, eat some chocolate and lift our voices in song. Her memory will forever be cherished by all of her relatives and friends.
