Stanley Vincent Scott
January 31, 1927 – November 15, 2024
Vince passed away in his 98th year on November 15th with his family by his side. Beloved husband of the late Betty Scott. Loving father of Lynn (Brian), Rick (Jan), and the late Wayne (Mary) and Susanne (Brian). Cherished grandfather to Wendy (Darren), Brian (Tina), Scott, Tyler (Claire), Ashley (Marcus), Stacey (Trevor), Shannon (Paul), Kristina (Dave), Taryn (Sean), and Alicia (Mike). Vince also leaves behind 20 cherished great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren.
Vince grew up on the Scott family farm in Nobel, Ontario, along with his nine siblings who have all predeceased him. He worked various jobs over his life from bus driver to garage mechanic to a mechanical maintainer at the Pickering NGS. Vince loved to hunt and fish and could tell many tall tales. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix with a roll of duct tape. He lived a long, full life and will be truly missed.
As was Vince’s wish, cremation has taken place. Private family internment to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the ALS Society of Canada would be appreciated.

Elizabeth (Betty) Van Hezewyk (nee Vonk) passed away peacefully on November 17, 2024, at the age of 89, surrounded by the love and comfort of her children. Predeceased in 2016 by Gerry, her beloved husband of 59 years, Betty was the proud mother of Jane (Don Campbell), John, Mary (Peter Menzies), Marg (Mark Lacy), Gerry (Cecilia Latorre), and Peter (Jennifer).

Betty immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands at the age of 15, bringing her resilience and strong work ethic. Over the years, she dedicated herself to her family, her community, and her faith.

In retirement, Betty enjoyed extensive travel, reading, and family gatherings where her famous meatball soup was a highlight. Her family remembers her as a loving matriarch and community organizer who lived with purpose and heart. Rest easy, Mom. There’s nothing left to organize. We’ve got it from here.

She was an avid reader, an enthusiastic gardener, and she valued the companionship of her dogs, Dube and Lucky, who brought her comfort and joy. A devoted member of several ladies' groups, Lynne treasured the friendships she built over the years, and her laughter and kindness will remain a lasting legacy.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care Lynne received during her final days at both Trillium Hospital in Mississauga, under the care of Dr. Kerr and the nursing team, and at Credit Valley Hospital, where Dr. Lim, Dr. Yee, Angela, and the nursing staff provided compassionate care.
