I met Mildred about 14 years ago while her time at RBC and into Moneris. Living in the east coast whenever I would travel into Ontario for work she always made time to meet and catch up. Mildred was loved by so many, she was a mentor, a great listener and most of all someone I called a friend.

Dearest Millie, I am totally shocked n can’t believe my ears that you have left for your heavenly abode. You never ever made me realise you were in pain n suffering always made me feel you were getting better n recovering. Always asked me to pray for others n kept me updated about their welfare but about yourself gave me a brighter picture n hence find it difficult to accept I will not be able to chat with you anymore. Today I got to know you suffered for 20 years n now you are at peace n free from all your pain though Ethan, Archie, your loved ones n us your friends will miss you a lot especially your smile n your comforting words. May your soul rest in peace my friend. I have one more angel in heaven. Love you. Thank you Jesus for blessing me with such a wonderful person in my life.
Heartfelt condolences to you dear Archie, Ethan, Mabel n Merlyn. May Jesus give you all the grace to bear this irreparable loss. God bless each one of you.

Heart Felt Condolences to Archie and Ethan. Mabel, Merlyn and their families. For me it came as a shocker. I had no idea she went through so much. She was always smiling willing to help, but never shared her troubles. I was close to Millie n loved her like my sister. Mumbai, i recall Merlyn n Mille coming to the club playing housie together and dropping them back home on bike triple seat. We met again in Bahrain when Millie joined Archie after marriage. Spent plenty of evenings together at their place. We met again in Dubai when Archie, Millie n Ethan came on a holiday. Toronto, we met again when we were on holiday. Archie picked us up from the airport took us home later drove us to Cheryl’s, where I had the pleasure of meeting our cousins a whole bunch of them. Last day of our holiday in Toronto, we spent the night at Millies and Archie dropping us to the airport early morning. These are just a few of the memories I will not forget and just had to share. Thanks to whats app we were still in touch. RIP my dearest Millie you will be missed.
To Archie, Ethan, and family,
I am sad to learn of Mildred’s passing and send you all my deepest condolences. Mildred was a brilliant person, she was kind, she was caring and one of the most supportive women I know. I had the privilege of working with her for many years at Moneris and lucky enough to call her a true friend outside of work. Even if we lived in different provinces, we always took the time to talk on the phone and text each other regularly. Mildred was selfless, no matter what was going on in her life she was never too busy to listen, offer words of wisdom/encouragement or send funny pictures of pets when she knew you needed cheering up. She was the light in the dark and I will miss her dearly. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.
Love, MP, Kevin, Zoe and Mya!
My sincere condolences to the family on the passing away of dear Mildred. I’ve known Mildred in Moneris since the last 20 years.
She was a wonderful person, friendly and always had a smile. She will be missed. Praying for comfort and strength to her loved ones at this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to the family.
Mildred, needless to say, you are sadly missed.
People enter and leave our lives everyday. I am very thankful that our paths crossed. You have shown us how to be tough and strong, and gentle and sweet all at the same time.
Missing you.
My condolences to Ethan, Archie and family.
Mildred meant the world to me. It all started when i first met her over 10 years ago. Our first encounter was an interesting one that will stay between me and her, but it started as a work bond and grew rapidly. Her care for me on a personal level made us become great friends. It was nothing for her to put her own issues aside to check on me and my problems that i was having in my life. Or even how my family was making out cause she truly cared. No matter how much i tried to reciprocate it, she always found a way to focus on me…lol. Cause that is how she was. She cared endlessly about others.
I will miss our chats, messages and our endless exchanges of funny pictures of our cats! Until we meet again my friend!
I’m so saddened to hear of Mildred’s passing. I’ve worked with Mildred since my first project at Moneris many years ago. She was an amazing person and a wonderful co-worker. Mildred was always helpful whenever I go to her for anything. She will be greatly missed by all of us at Moneris.
My most sincere condolences to the family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.
I fondly remember Mildred as someone who can be relied upon, a team player and supportive to her colleagues. She was always timely in responding to my requests for information – these highly speak of her strong work ethic and professional reputation.
My deepest condolences to the whole family.
I pray for the repose of her soul. May Mildred rest in peace.
Please accept our deepest condolences. May Mildred rest in peace, and may you and the family find the strength to cope with this loss.
Eternal Rest grant unto the soul of Mildred (Milli) O Lord, and may Your Perpetual Light shine upon her, as You welcome her into Paradise. We pray that your Mercy and grace sustain Archie and Ethan during, and through, this period of profound sadness as we offer our deepest condoles, and heartfelt sympathies.
Sharing your grief,
Aubrey & Dolfie

My deepest sympathy to you Archie, Ethan, Merlyn and Mabel. Mildred was a great mentor and a very close friend to me as you might know. She tremendously helped me through tough times, even while she was dealing with her own challenges. I was amazed by her work ethics but most importantly by her love and dedication to you, her family. I am very lucky to be close to her and get to know her deeply as a friend.
Mildred – our Millie, soar high and rest easy. I know in time we will smile and laugh at the memories you’ve left us with but for now our hearts are hurting for you. You are and will be dearly missed. I am sure Marley and Brady are missing you already, too.
With lots of love.

Mildred was my Friend and Sister in Christ. Met her many years ago and her love of family and life was evident.Her contagious smile and laughter will be missed.
I remember our Diversity days at Moneris. Her beautiful Indian attire and hear sharing her culture.
To her Family my prayers during this difficult time.
Mildred spread your wings and may your Soul Rest in Peace. hugs to all of those needing it.
My aunty Millie was the strongest person I know. She fought bravely for many years and never once complained.
When I reached the US in April of 2024 around 3pm ,it was midnight back home in India and I was stuck in a long customs line in JFK not knowing what to do or who to call , so I called her and she picked up promptly and it was so comforting talking to her! She has tracked every flight of mine since and we have had long conversations with me via WhatsApp, giving me recipes and life advice as if everything was okay !
She’ll always be an inspiration and I will miss her very dearly.
She’s in a better place now with Gran and Pa, my three angels watching over me ❤️
Dear Archie and Ethan,
I am so saddened to hear about Mildred’s passing away. She was a loving, kindhearted, gentle and helpful person. I shall always cherish the time and memories I had with her.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and may God give you both the strength and courage to bear this loss. May Mildred’s Soul Rest in Peace.

Mildred…I am sad that you are no longer here with us. We have known and worked together for over 24 years from when I was at BMO and you at RBC. Your positive and energetic spirit brought so many people together. Your passion for life was extraordinary.
To Mildred’s family; my deepest condolences to you. I pray that you remember and cherish all the great moments that you experienced together.
My God Mother Millie
I never got to talk to her about what she was going through, because she would never let us know what she was dealing with.
She managed to be funny and cared about my life and whatever silly things I was up to, while facing challenges that would overcome a normal person
My deepest sympathies to all of Mildreds loved ones.
I also worked with Mildred at Moneris for many years.
I looked up to her as she always had time to share her knowledge of pricing with me when I would reach out and always with a smile.
Every time we had a teams meeting she would always comment on how the picture of my dogs nose always made her day.
I will miss her greatly.
My Condolences to Archie, Ethan & Family,
I started working with Mildred over 20 years ago. Mildred was very special to me and reached out during a very difficult time to talk and support me. She was always so giving of herself to help and support others regardless of what she was going thru.
