SKYPAS, Victoria “Vicky”

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Victoria Skypas (nee Vasil). Vicky passed peacefully in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 27th, 2018, at the age of 65. She was the beloved wife of Mark Skypas for 48 years, and a loving mother to Bryan and Marcus (Caroline). She was a devoted grandmother and will be missed by her grandchildren, Matthew, Sophia, Vanessa and Jessica. Vicky was the very loved first child of Nicholas and Thelma Vasil, whom she predeceases. She will be greatly missed by her sister Sophia (Stephen) Guagliano.

Also survived by her brothers Peter (Tina) Vasil, Steve (Jane) Vasil and her sister in law Irene Skypas.

Vicky was born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario. As her children grew, she and Mark moved to Mississauga, and she returned to the work force and spent many years as a Human Resource Manager for the Ontario Public School Board Association in Toronto. Vicky retired in 2015 and she and Mark moved, to Grand Valley- a lovely peaceful little town up north where they spent many lovely afternoons on drives through this beautiful area.

Vicky enjoyed her home and family and the beautiful gardens and pond she painstakingly maintained. Nothing, however, could replace the joy she had in her children and grandchildren she so adored.

The family would like to thank Dr. Mark Minden, Dr. Andre Leutinsky and especially the team lead by Dr. Dennis Kim. We also have a great appreciation for all the nursing staff and members of the Oncology Department and all the staff on wards 14, 15 and 16 where Vicky spent many weeks as well as the care that was provided by the doctors at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto. There are too many individuals to name but the kind care and comfort to Vicky will be always and forever appreciated.
If desired, donations in Vicky’s memory can be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society of Canada or a charity of your choice.

As per Vicky’s wishes, a private service was held and cremation has taken place. Funeral arrangement have been entrusted to BAY GARDENS FUERNAL HOME, 1010 Botanical Drive BURLINGTON (905.527.0405).
