Obituary for Cynthia Victoria Lukas (McGillo)
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother & Great- grandmother, peacefully from lung cancer. She was born in Tecumseh, Ontario on July 18, 1941 and left us just shy of her 80th Birthday.
Wife of the late Paul (Feb 2019), Mother of Michael, Katherine (late Paul) Montcalm, David (Carol) & Theresa (Maurice Bottos ). Lovingly known as Gummy to her 6 grandchildren Julian Lukas, Noelle (Shawn Macfarlane) Montcalm, Chantal Montcalm, Lucas (Erica Bassakos) Montcalm, Mitchell Lukas and Alexander Lukas and 3 great- grandchildren Lenix, Corbyn and Kenora. She is survived by her two sisters Elaine (late Gabby) Simon & Eula McGillo. Cynthia was the daughter of Thomas & Edna (Labute) McGillo of Tecumseh.
Cynthia was enthralled with genealogy throughout her life and was very proud of being able to trace her ancestors back to 1701 amongst the first to settle in Tecumseh. She was proud of her Metis heritage. Cynthia had many interests throughout the years, she studied art at the University of Windsor, was an avid reader, enjoyed gardening and watching birds in her backyard. She was a parishioner of St. Gregory Parish (Good Shepherd) and volunteered with the Ladies Auxiliary to which she was also the past president. She enjoyed decorating Ukrainian eggs and taught lessons to many. Prior to having children, she worked at American Standard with her late husband Paul.
