Grace Catherine Loscombe

With heavy hearts and loving memories, we honour the life of Grace Catherine Loscombe (née Whitmee), who entered into rest on October 25, 2026, at Hillsdale Estates in Oshawa.
Grace was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Though petite in stature, she was a spirited, strong-willed woman with a heart full of love and a wonderful zest for life. Grace shared 77 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Sidney, building a home filled with warmth, laughter, and treasured family traditions. Raised on a farm outside Pontypool, she eventually made her home in Oshawa, where she created a lifetime of cherished memories.
A caring and generous woman, Grace volunteered in many church activities and community events, but her greatest joy was always her family. An accomplished homemaker, her chili sauce and homemade pickles were legendary, and the numerous special events and holiday gatherings brought generations together. For over seventy years, she lovingly opened her home to family and friends, sharing her love of cooking, dancing, entertaining, and fashion. Through her decades with Avon, she also built lasting connections within her community.
Grace leaves behind her son, Fred (JoAnne), and her daughter, Darlene (predeceased by Lorne). Remembered by her grandchildren, Scott (Melissa), Curtis, Lorne JR (Nancy), and Christina Speers (Tom), and her great-grandchildren, Vanessa, Alison, Addison, David, Taelyn, Miriam, and Hugh. She is also survived by her brother, Ozzie Whitmee (Jean). Grace was predeceased by her husband, Sidney, and her sisters, Dorothy (Gar) and Florence (Les).
The loss of Grace leaves an immeasurable emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her. We will miss her spirited nature, her strong will, her warmth, her love of dancing, her wonderful cooking, and the countless little things that made her uniquely Grace. We will miss the celebrations, the conversations, the family traditions, and the simple comfort of knowing she was there.
Though she is no longer with us, her love will live on in the family and the memories that will be treasured for generations.
Rest peacefully, dear Grace. Your life was filled with love, your legacy will live on, and you will remain forever in our hearts.
