In Loving Memory of Vinda Moneta Bailey

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Vinda Moneta Bailey, who passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at Etobicoke General Hospital at the age of 89.

Born in Barbados to the late Edwin and Cordelia Blackman, Vinda moved to England at the age of sixteen before making Weston, Ontario her home. She was known for her strong work ethic, unwavering faith, and deep love for her family and church community.

Vinda was a devoted wife, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, mentor, and friend. She is lovingly remembered by her siblings Joyce, Anthony, and Juneia (Dolly), and was predeceased by her siblings Eugene, Cora, Myrtle, Keith, and Roger. She is also fondly remembered by her sister- and brothers-in-law James, Nathaniel, Alvin, and Jasodra.

She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved nieces and nephews: Marcia, Judy (Consuelo), Gregory, Sandra, Joy, Cheryl, Susannie, Dave, Kim, Quinn, Alvin Jr., Lana, Tracy, Andrea, Anthony Jr., Marie, Nicole, Amanda, Ramona, Marcella, Louisa, Loreen, Leroy, Stedmond, Paula, Teresa, Jevon, and Greg.

A woman of deep faith, Vinda found great joy in cooking and baking for family and friends. She did everything with excellence and pride. Her kindness, generosity, empathy, sense of humour, directness (feisty) and loving spirit touched all who knew her. Her legacy of compassion, service, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
