- BERNICE CATHERINE AGNES KINNEAR Passed away April 11, 2013 in Toronto at the age of 90. A pianist, painter, puppeteer, competitive swimmer, gardener, fashion plate, actress, interpreter of dreams and celebrated imagineer. A warm and wonderful person and mother, Bernice leaves us with memories and inspirations that will endure as long as the rocks in her beloved Muskoka. Raised in Bloor West Village by Lillian and William MCMartin, Bernice dove into literature with the same enthusiasm as she dove into Pine Lake. Reading was her lifelong passion, commitment and delight. Another passion began at age 18, when she married the dashing RAF pilot Sam Kinnear. Sam and Bernice built their home and raised their family in Thorncrest Village where they lived for 50 years until Sam's passing in 1999. Her children are thankful for the sense of self she instilled in each of them and wish that all families might enjoy the wealth of spirit shared by women like Bernice. Strength. Imagination. Decisiveness and Courage. As much as we'll miss her she'll never be far from our hearts. Among the trees and water at her adored Pines, we will cherish her love for family and place. Mother to Wendy Lawrence (Chuck), Sybil Virball (Joe), Shane (Moze Mossanen), Cathrine (David MacQuarrie); Grandmother to Aubray (Jim Barbiero), Jessica Cordner (Mark), Elana Ryeland (Tim), Andrew Lawrence (Naomi Thornton), Amanda Lawrence (Amit Patel); Great-grandmother to Kayla, Calvin, Jackson, Elizabeth, Keiran and Aaron. Predeceased by her son Bill and grandson Sam. Special thanks to Ari, Kate and Cherrel, Bernice's caregivers, for their kindness and compassion, and to Olive and Karen from CCAC for their guidance. Friends will be received at the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., (between Kipling and Islington Aves) Etobicoke, on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 from 10 - 11 a.m. followed by a Celebration of Bernice's Life at 11 a.m. Donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
