Patricia Adams (nee Straughan), passed away peacefully at Riverwood Senior Living in Alliston, Ontario on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 100 years, 6 months and 1 day.

For over 60 years, Pat was a professional violinist playing in orchestras for the Canadian Opera Company, The National Ballet of Canada, Toronto Symphony Orchestra; at Massey Hall, Ontario Place Forum, Roy Thomson Hall; TV shows such as the Tommy Hunter Show, Street Legal and a plethora of commercials…. you name it, she probably played for it.

Pat was born in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, on December 19, 1925. Due to her father’s health, they moved to Victoria, BC. She became a student of Kathleen Parlow among others and by age 7, she was doing recitals. At 17 she was concert mistress for the Victoria Symphony and, still in high school in 1942, she played piano and sang with a small band, touring the military bases entertaining the troops.

After high school, upon attending the British Columbia Institute of Music and Drama, Pat met Ernest Adams, star of CBC radio’s the “Ernest Adams Show’ and two-time winner of “Singing Stars of Tomorrow.” They moved to Toronto, got married and each embarked on successful careers, allowing them to retire in King City on a 5-acre farm. Ernie was an original member of the Canadian Opera Company, tour manager, and administrator. Ernie died on January 23, 2011.

Although Pat’s passion was music, she also enjoyed gardening and growing incredible African violets and geraniums, rescuing dogs, cats and horses and spending time with her grandchildren, Alex (Angelo), Taylor (Lizzie), Casey (Dylan) and Jessie (Nolan).

Pat was loving mother to Tricia (Richard) and Jolie (Dave) and great-grandmother to Oaklee, Avery, Daphne, Rowan and Eleanor. She was funny, stubborn, generous, honest, clever and always spoke her mind.

Jolie and Trish would like to thank Riverwood Senior Living, all the nurses and PSWs, especially Terry and Monica for their excellent care to mom.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Rod Abrams Funeral Home. Cremation has taken place. In accordance with Mom’s wishes, there will be no funeral service or formal celebration of life at this time. For those who wish, donations may be made to OSPCA would be appreciated. Online condolences and memories may be left for the family at www.RodAbramsFuneralHome.com.

In Loving Memory of Christa Hentsch (née Grünberg)

Christa Hentsch (née Grünberg) passed away peacefully on June 17, 2026, at the age of 92, leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion to family.

Born in Berlin, Germany, on August 26, 1933, Christa lived through extraordinary times. As a young woman, she met the love of her life, Ben Hentsch, through a newspaper correspondence (Heiratsanzeigen) that spanned the Atlantic Ocean. Ben, an Austrian immigrant working as a farm labourer in southwestern Ontario, and Christa exchanged letters that blossomed into a lifelong partnership. In 1957, Christa made the courageous journey to Canada, where she and Ben built a life together and raised their family both in Toronto and Tottenham.

Christa was predeceased by her beloved husband, Ben. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Georg and his wife Ingrid, and Helene and her husband Andy; her grandchildren, Ruby, Stefan, Erika, and Hanna; and her great-grandson, Dominic, who brought her much joy.

She held a special place in her heart for her niece, Gerti, and Gerti’s husband, Tony, along with their large and loving family of children and grandchildren. Despite the distance that sometimes separated them, those family bonds remained important throughout her life.

Christa was known for her independence, determination, and spirited nature. She loved cooking and baking for family and friends, tending her garden, and knitting for those she cared about. Whether preparing a favourite meal, sharing baked treats, or creating something with her knitting needles, she expressed her love through the work of her hands.

She enjoyed the companionship and activities of the Danube Seniors Leisure Centre, where she maintained friendships and remained engaged with her community.

Those who knew Christa will remember her as a spunky, resilient woman who faced life’s challenges with courage and determination. Having journeyed from postwar Berlin to Canada as a young woman, she built a life defined by hard work, family, and perseverance. Her warmth, humour, and strength will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

From Berlin to Tottenham, Christa’s journey was one of courage, hope, and love—a story that continues through the generations of family she leaves behind.

Her family takes comfort in the many memories she leaves behind and in the example of a life well lived.

May she rest in peace.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday June 26, 2026 from 1pm-3pm in the Cliffside Hall at Rod Abrams Funeral Home, 1666 Tottenham Rd., Tottenham 905-936-3477. A graveside interment of ashes will immediately follow at St. James Cemetery, Colgan, 2118 Adjala Tecumseth Townline.

As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us

~ Hermann Hesse
