Also predeceased by second husband Sebastian Manea and missed by his children Frankie, Herta, Edith (Ippolito), Ronnie, Nick and Alex, grandchildren Lily (Daryl), Tyler, Casey,Christopher, Sarah and great grandchildren Hannah, Griffin and Dacobi. Berit, born in Norway (with skiis on her feet of course) was a tower of strength to her family in Norway, Canada, The US, Switzerland, England and New Zealand. She was well known for her great sense of humour and in Etobicoke as a registered massage therapist and friend to all. With her strong Christian faith she was a devoted matriarch and loving mother and support to many in time of (any) need! One was always offered a meal in her home and woe betided if one was late for dinner at 6:00! For many years she fought the ravages of long term cancer and always came out on top. Her 100th year birthday was a triumph in these times. Many thanks to Edith Ippolito for her devoted care in the final days.A private Memorial Visitation and Service to be held at Glendale Funeral Home on Monday June 29th.If you would like to view the funeral service from home, you may follow this link: https://www.distantlink.com/DLM4.html Password: Arbor2020The live stream will begin at 2:30pm.In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Berit can be made to the Islington Baptist Church.
