Alice Varelas

It is with profound sadness. I announce the passing of Alice Elpis Varelas at home on August 7th, 2024 at the age of 85. 

Alice has now been received in the arms of her Lord and Savior. After a lifetime of faith And Service.

Mother of Victoria and Kosta, Predeceased by her parents, Mary and Angelo Nicholson and her sibling, Leon Nicholson.

Alice was born on August 10th, 1938 in Florina, Greece. 

At the age of nine, she moved to Toronto, Canada. During World War Two. 

Alice worked as a switchboard operator and Manulife.

Alice got married and had two children. Kosta and Victoria. 

After Alice retired she dedicated her life taking care of her mother Mary Nicholson until she passed away.

Alice was amazing mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her daughter Vicki was by her side, holding her hand when she passed away. 

Alice’s love and beauty will live on in the people she met and especially in her daughter Vicki who spent most of her adult life life taking care of mom. 

Vicki became Alice’s full time caregiver when Alice was diagnosed with dementia.

Cremation has taken place. In keeping with her wishes. There will be no formal Funeral services with a private gathering to celebrate the life of Alice. In the fall. 

Although Alice may no longer be with us physically, her beautiful glowing light will shine on forever. Prayers that she rest in eternal peace.
