Obituary for Elizabeth Ann Letcher (Clarke)

LETCHER, Elizabeth Ann -
(1944 - 2023)

Aged 78, Elizabeth Ann Letcher (née Clarke) passed away peacefully early in the morning of February 28, 2023 in the Lakeridge Health Hospital in Oshawa, Ontario. Elizabeth (Liz) was born in Toronto, Ontario, on November 11, 1944, although she moved early on to and grew up in Whitby, Ontario. Liz was married in 1961 to James Thomas Letcher of Oro Station, Ontario, and lived in Barrie from 1961 to 1981. She moved to Jamaica in 1981 and returned two years later to Canada and lived in Toronto (Scarborough) from 1983 until 2018, and then moved to Ajax where she remained until the present.


Liz was the mother of two sons, Robert James and Shawn David Letcher. She was the proud gramma of Sophie Alexandra and Chloë Aurora Letcher and also of Samantha and Morgan. She was also the mother-in-law and friend of Chantal Nault (wife of Robert James). Elizabeth is survived by her sister Jacqueline (of Oshawa) and aunt of Christine, Stephen and Margaret. Elizabeth will be deeply missed by all her friends and family.


Liz was a caring and fun-loving person and loved people and highly valued her friends in Barrie, Toronto, Ajax and elsewhere across Ontario and nationally. Liz considered Jamaica her second home as she frequently visited the island over the years and attested by numerous good friends from the island. Liz will be cremated and interred at Groveside Cemetery in Whitby, Ontario. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those who can donate do so by sending a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in her memory, or to the Lakeridge Health Foundation or a charity of their choice.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Liz at the Ajax Royal Canadian Legion on June 4th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
