April 15, 1985 – April 10, 2018
Peacefully surrounded by her family on Tuesday, April 10, 2018, Stacia Suvera Mae Sahi passed away. Our family has lost a beautiful, brilliant, thoughtful, selfless and loving daughter (Ash and Wendy), sister (Stephanie and fiancee Mike), granddaughter (Grant and Peggy Izzard) (Savira and Jagjit, deceased), Niece (Meenu and Suniel, Barb and Mark, Gita and Satish, Sarita and Vippan) and Cousin (Angel, Sujay, Shawn, Sharon, Nitika, Amit and Vijay and Priya), Cat (Lotus), and Dog (Jazz).
Stacia will be remembered by a large number of family members, friends, colleagues and even people she had only met once or twice. Her smile, enthusiasm and larger than life personality touched so many people near and far in her short time on Earth. She had a huge heart and a special bond with her family, especially her cousins. She loved the cottage near Kingston, kayaking, boating, jumping off cliffs, adventures, travelling, photography, activity brochures, trip planning, hiking, animals, kids, toys and games. She had no fear and a huge passion for people, the planet, recycling, philanthropy and making the world a better place – and so her university degrees, job choices and locations always reflected those goals. Her generosity and her smile will never be forgotten.
We want to thank the Marvelle Koffler Breast Centre and the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Hospital; with thanks to Dr. P. Goodwin, Dr. J. Escallon, Dr. J. Hunter, Jenn (her chemo nurse), and Dr. C. Whelan. Special thanks also to Dr. Constance Weicker for her many years of care and support to Stacia and our family.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Friday evening 5-8 o’clock. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Saturday, April 14 at 3 o’clock. Followed by cremation.
Donations can be made to UNHCR, SPCA, Unicef USA, World Food Program or Sinai Health Foundation. Stacia would ask that you please recycle and conserve water always!

My condolences to the family. I worked with Stacia in 2012 and 2013. I was so inspired by the way she chose to attack her avocado head on. She was such an amazing soul xo

To Wendy, Ash, Steph and all the family. I can’t begin to imagine the pain you are all feeling but what I do know if how many lives stacia touched and how many she changed. From having her stay her during peak 2000 and being welcomed into your family when I came to Canada, I will never forget her. We need to carry on her fight to change the world.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Stacia and I attended Carleton University together and from the get-go, I saw how brilliant, fierce and funny she was.
I also saw right away that her family and her friends were to her – it was her most common topic of conversation.
I wish you the best through this difficult time.
Jennifer Huang
To Stacia’s family:
I am so sorry to hear about Stacia’s passing. I hope you can take comfort in that she is now pain-free. There is a new star shining above us. This helped me when my younger sister passed recently. Unfortunately, I am unable to make it to Bolton. My thoughts are with your family.
Maria Rivera
There are no words to be spoken when such a bright light has been extinguised from this world that needed such an illuminous person. That’s what Stacia still continues to be – we may not see her light, but we feel her warmth, always.
Ash and Wendy, so blessed to have had the privilege of raising such a remarkable soul. Stephanie, so blessed to have shared your life with her. May memories of her always bring the smile she graced us with, to your faces. God bless and comfort you and all that loved her.

Dear Sahi Family,
I knew Stacia only a short time while we lived together in NYC, but in that short time she made a huge impact.

All my best,
Lauren

I first met Stacia when our family moved to Palgrave, and she was in Pathfinders with my daughter, Marcie.

Stacia was a dear friend during high school. The memories from Mayfield S. S. are flooding back. It really doesn’t feel that long ago.
Working on art projects; going on class trips to Chicago and New York; raising money for good causes in Z Club; and going to prom then Tim Hortons in a limo. I will cherish these memories always.
Stacia was a warm and sunny person. Her legacy of kindness and generosity will live on.

Stacia’s passing weighs heavily on my heart – she was such a force – smart, witty, chatty, fun, well travelled, engaged and curious about the world around her and passionate about making a difference. I had the great pleasure of being her colleague and I have such fond memories of our conversations, her bake sales (in support of the SPCA), her excellent presentations and her insight into issues. Sincerest condolences to you her family. Her bright light went out too soon.
With love, Lisa

Anika M
Dear Sahi Family,
I worked with Stacia in Mississauga from 2012 until she travelled to Cambodia.
Stacia always managed to spread an infectious laugh or share an inspiring and/or humerous story. Her beautiful spirit and loving kindness touched so many lives, in ways that cannot be expressed in words.
My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you.
With love,
Anika
Jagjeet Singh
Dear Wendy & Ash,
It is unbelievable and shocking that Stacia is not around anymore in this world. I worked with her at CPC Mississauga. I had the opportunity to see her infectious smile again when she visited here from Cambodia during her X-Mas break but couldn’t stay in touch after that.
I remember her to be an amazing, kind, gentle, helpful, friendly, caring soul who would go to any extent to help others. We need more Stacias in the world but the destiny has take away the one which we had. I pray to the Almighty that the departed soul rests in peace and family & friends gets strength to bear this great loss!
With deep condolences,
Jagjeet
