elevated c05Ow Obituary
elevated c05Ow It is with heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss we announce the sudden passing of Lisa Valiquette on October 28th, 2024, at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre at the age of 54. She is reunited in Heaven with her adored mother Gail. Loving wife to John, and proud mother to Jessalyn Boc (Cameron), Aaron Moore (Amanda) and Graham Valiquette (Abby). Caring daughter to Angelo Ciciretto, and sister to Michael Ciciretto (Tanya), and Jason Ciciretto (Lesley).
elevated c05Ow Lisa’s pride and joy were her children. She adored them and was always so proud of their many accomplishments. Lisa was always happiest when surrounded by her loving family and many friends. A passionate educator for over 30 years, Lisa’s kind and nurturing spirit inspired the lives of many colleagues, parents, and students. Her favourite place to be was on a dock, surrounded by nature with her husband John and their Golden Retriever, Finn. Her smile warmed the hearts of everyone she met and she will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of everyone she touched. Lisa will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten.
elevated c05Ow Your thoughts and kindness are truly appreciated during this time of sorrow.

Rest in Peace to such a wonderful teacher. She first taught me music in Grade 2 and then became my high school teacher for a few of my classes 10 years later. She never forgot my name. Praying for her family ❤️

My sincerest condolences to Lisa’s family and loved ones. She was my teacher from JK-Gr 2, and she was the most incredible teacher. She was caring and always helped me, and I am so thankful I got to spend 4 school years with her. Even later into my education, I looked back fondly on my early school years and how fun she made it for me.
She will be dearly missed. Sending love and prayers.

My Dear Friend Lisa♥️
You brought so much love, joy and happiness to my life. You were so encouraging, patient and accepting of me. Your beautiful soul and smile made me feel loved and warmed my heart. Miss you so much.
Lisa educated students on how to live life to the fullest; with a kind heart. I will always be thankful for her unwavering support and kindness that built confidence in me, and all the students that were lucky enough to be taught by her.
Sending love to all of her family during this difficult time.
Ange,
I’m very sorry for your loss and pain.
May you and your family find strength in one another and comfort in remembering Lisa as a blessing in your lives.
I am gutted at the loss of Ms. Moore. When I was in grade 2, my brother was undergoing cancer treatment at Sick Kids and Ms. Moore took me in for months. She was my second mother and I am eternally grateful for all of the fun memories I got to make with her son Aaron and daughter Jessalyn. The world’s so unfair, Lisa was a wonderful teacher and an even better mother. She messaged me three weeks ago with photos of Jessalyns wedding and how proud she was. I got to see her a year ago when she filled in for me as a teacher! We were so happy to see each other and she shared with me some pieces of advice about my students. I will miss her forever. Love you
Uncle Ang and family.. we are completely beside ourselves with sorrow over the loss of Lisa.. We are truly heartbroken and send all of our love and support in this time of sadness. Lisa is and will always be a beautiful soul..
Although we never had a chance to know Lisa, we send our heartfelt condolences to her entire family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. 🕊️
Dear Angelo and family,
I am sending my sincere condolences to all. Deeply saddened to hear about Lisa’s passing.
Sending my love and prayers.
