Obituary of Miss Audrey Beasant

Audrey Elizabeth Beasant passed away at the Leaside Revera Retirement Residence, Toronto of natural causes. Born in Verdun, P.Q., Audrey, the eldest of 8, was pre-deceased by parents L. Rodney Beasant and Jean Beasant and siblings Gilmour (Loretta), Diana and Alice.  Left to mourn her passing are brothers James (Ann), John (Carol), David and sister Margot (Carson}. The “matriarch” was very proud of her family and being an Aunt to her 34 nieces and nephews. Audrey enjoyed a successful 36 yr. career with Bell Canada (Montreal and Toronto) joining fresh from Westmount High School in April ’49 and subsequently rising to the management ranks.  A world traveler from the early ‘50s onwards, she especially enjoyed visiting relatives in the U.K. and New Zealand along with trips to countless other destinations in Europe, Asia and South America. She was also a proud member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority ( Scarborough) for 30+yrs.  The family will always have precious memories of gatherings at Audrey’s homes in Montreal and Toronto where her homemaking and culinary skills were on display and laughter and warmth prevailed. Special thanks to the 6^th floor caregiving staff at LRR.

Cremation has occurred and due to Covid restrictions a small family service at Ogden Funeral Home will occur on May 29^th. In lieu of flowers, donations in Audrey’s memory to Alzheimer’s Society of Canada or to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.  Online condolences may be made through www.ogdenfuneralhome.com
