Tanya Green - Steeles Memorial Chapel

Private Family Service

Funeral service will be live-streamed. Please go to smclive.ca on Monday, January 4, 2021 at 12 noon.

Tanya Green passed away peacefully at the amazing age of 95 on Friday, January 1 2021. For Tanya, (beloved wife of the late Edward Green who never ceased to marvel at her sparkling personality), nothing was more important in life than her family. She will be terribly missed by her children, Ellen, Stephen and daughter-in-law, Elise. Adoring grandsons Joshua , Anthony and Jordan and their wives Orit, Cathy and Taryn will tell Tanya’s great grandchildren Alexa, Haley, Jessica,Carly and Remy incredible but true stories of the awesome Bubbie they knew. Although granddaughter Rebecca lives far away, Bubbie’s love kept her close. With her ready smile and optimistic outlook strangers became friends and hearts were touched. Both babies and puppies would stop her in her tracks on the street. As a lauded kindergarten teacher, enthusiastic mandolin musician, avid bridge player, energetic tennis player into her 80’s, talented painter and sculptor, diehard Blue Jays fan and much more Tanya lived her full life. It will be a long time before there will be another like Tanya Green.

Please consider donations in Tanya’s memory to the Baycrest Foundation (416) 785-2875 or the Canadian Cancer Society www.cancer.ca/en/donate.

I will dearly miss my “other mother”. She was always ready with a hug, a kiss and chocolate cake for the soul.

She will be missed - such a great lady with a fantastic personality!!! Thinking of you at this most difficult time. Ilene, Larry Greenberg and family

My deepest condolences to the whole family of the most extraordinary friend and bridge partner ever. Tanya was a bright light in my life - her humour kept our bridge group laughing all the time. My favourite saying of hers was ' THE TRUE IS THE TRUE' . W e all still say it and we remember Tanya. She honoured Bert and I and included us as the only non family members at a wonderful dinner celebration for Eddie.It was an honour and a privilege to have had hr as my friend for over 50 years........Fondest wishes to you all.............Marilyn Raphael

1am so saddened to hear of Tanyas passing. She was a bright light in this world of ours. Her humour was even more delicious than her passover apple kugel. Her friendship was so special - we shared so many good times together with Eddie and my husband Bert. I will never forget her........You are in my heart............Marilyn Raphael

Dear Ellen, Stephen, Josh, Anthony and Jorden, I am so, so very sorry for the loss of your incredible Mom and Grandmother. It was my great pleasure to know her and to enjoy her company over the years - she really was quite a force of nature - and it is difficult to understand that she is no longer with us. Keep your memories of her close to you as I know you will find great comfort in them in the days ahead. My very sincere condolences to all of you.

Ellen and Stephen Tanya and I shared many hours at our mutual love of bridge and the blue jays and the fact that our mothers played poker together for years brought us even closer. My family and I still refer to Tony Fernandez as Tonala as she nicknamed him. I will always miss her inspirational zest for life, her warm friendship and her Laughter that I heard often . As the rabbi said her legacy is one of love and joy and I hope will help you and your families through this sad time.

It's been a long time since we were next door neighbours, but I fondly remember Tanya's constant smile, fun attitude towards life, and great sense of humour. Eddie make the perfect straight man for her. G-d bless.

Dear Ellen and family Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom, a true original. Tanya and my mom, Shirley, were childhood friends who lived in each others' homes. Their friendship blossomed, and continued until old age and illness brought an end to their beautiful friendship. We wish your strength during this challenging time. May you be comforted by your many memories. Warmly, Sharon Gladstone, and Emily Sadowski

I remember Tanya as a big part of my childhood on Brighton Avenue. She really was amazing, a sparkling personality and wit, filled with loving kindness. I wish you long life.

Ellen, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Tanya. She was always such a bright light on 5W. The fact that everyone was always fighting to sit at her dining table really shows how kind and funny she was. She truly loved her family and was always so proud to show off pictures of her grandsons. She will be dearly missed. Take care
