Obituary of Virginia Meldonia Allen

Virginia Meldonia Allen was born on August 7 1937 to Lesant and Allan Farnell in her beloved city of Bridgetown, Barbados. She sadly passed away on May 1, 2024.

Virginia married Michael Lucien Allen on November 30 1974 shortly after moving to Canada in June 1966. It was in Oshawa where she began to build a life and family together with her husband and her two children, Mike and Sean. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, sparkling sense of humour, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her husband, children (including Kim and Erika, her daughters in law), and grandchildren Ella, Marina, Sophie, Stella, and Jack.

Virginia had a strong passion for baking. She always made sure to include a cake for all of her friends and family. She always took great care of her family both in Canada and Barbados. She was an entrepreneur at heart, she started several businesses including a daycare, and her own store. Virginia was a very determined and hard working woman.

Although her passing is gravely felt by her entire family and countless others who loved her,the memories that we share of her will last in our hearts forever. We love you.
