elevated mAlr0 Obituary
Mama (Mum) passed peacefully surrounded by her children and her loving caregiver Marsha.
Marie Rose (Mimi) Buston (nee Boustany) was born in Alexandria, Egypt on October 14th, 1928. The first child of Henriette and Emile. Beloved sister to Jacqueline and Simone and brother George. Mourned by children Ron (Serkan) Andrew (Jacqueline) Clive (Tracy) and Jacqueline (Tony). Her grandchildren (William, Joanna, Andrew, Marc, Kaitlin, Emma, and Olivia) and her great grandchildren (Jillian and Rosa) on whom the sun rose and set; sharing treasured moments of both mischief and delight.As a young bride, Mimi moved to Birmingham UK in 1950 with her husband Brian where she was warmly welcomed by in laws Vincent, Dorothy, Fred, Rene, and Mervyn. Mimi and Brian were lovingly married for almost 60 years. In her forties she studied and received her bachelor’s degree from University of Toronto and then began a long and successful career with Metropolitan Toronto Separate School Board as a teacher and librarian where she earned the love and respect of so many students and fellow staff. Mum never stopped smiling even though in her later years Alzheimer’s took its toll, confining her to her home where she was under the exceptional care of Marsha, Eya, Joy, Aubrey, and other devoted PSWS. We are forever grateful to them all.

Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. My deepest sympathy.
Our beloved Auntie Mimi was such a sweet, loving person. She radiated warmth and kindness and her beautiful smile brightened the spirits of everyone she met. As host of some of the most incredible family celebrations, she helped us all create indelible family memories – we will cherish those moments forever.
Auntie Mimi, we will miss you dearly. Rest in peace, grace, and love.
With Love,
Michael and Mika Boustany
Our deepest sympathy on the loss your mother Mimi, from her neighbours Margaret and Helena
I have so many long and happy memories of the hospitality, love and caring dear Mimi always lavished on family and friends.
My sincere condolences for Mimi’s family. Feda and Clara Boustany.
Auntie Mimi always welcomed Marie, James and I with a warm hug, big smile…..and a gingerale-ice cream float when we’d visit her and Uncle Brian for a swim. We fondly remember these visits and many others. Auntie Mimi’s loving spirit and the warmth she showed us all will be with us always.
