Obituary of Mrs. Teresita Kirby
It is with deep sorrow and mourning that we announce the sudden and unexpected death of Teresita (Tess) Veloria Kirby on Monday February 12th.
Tess was born in the Philippines to Parents Arsenio G. & Lucresia I. Veloria on May 13th 1961.
She was a loving Sister to her Siblings, Marilyn, Evangeline, Susana, Carmelita,
Hannibal and Arsenio Jr.
Tess immigrated to Canada in the early 1980's where she worked as a Nanny for the Velasco family for several years becoming Tita Tess to Myra, Elmer, and Elaine. In the early 1990's Tess began working at Universal Gravo Plast as their Office Manager where she continued to work right up until her passing.
Tess met her Loving Husband Brian Kirby while working at Universal and was married to him for just over 28 years. Together they were parents to 3 Dog's, Max, Storm, and Ace.
Tess has several relatives and close friends who simply knew her as Tita Tess.
She will be lovingly missed by her Family, Brothers Kevin (Judy) and Jonathan, and her Father in Law, David (Norma, pre deceased)
She also leaves behind many close friends and co workers who were like family to her and
will dearly miss her.
Tess will be remembered as one of the sweetest, gentlelest, kindhearted person you will have ever met. Her love for her Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ was never without notice. She was actively involved at her home church in Scarborough, Ontario, Highway Gospel as a Greeter and an active participant in several Small Groups and Women's Groups.
Tess' love for Canada's past time, Hockey, was excentric. She could be heard cheering and shouting loudly in front of a TV anytime her favourite team, the Toronto Maple Leafs were playing.
While we will all mourn her passing and grieve her loss, we know with great confidence that she is currently in the presence of her Heavenly Father and that we will be reunited with her in
Heaven some day.
