Obituary of Marjatta Aakko

1926 ~ 2016 Peacefully fell asleep in Jesus’ arms, at Hillsdale Estates in Oshawa, on Friday March 18, 2016. Beloved mother of Susan, Rita (Peter), May (Jonathan), and Eric (Jody). Beloved grandmother to Matthew, Jonathan, Benjamin, Melissa, Bradley, Sierra, Clara, and Ericsson. In her 85th year, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. She battled her cancer bravely and was a witness to everyone around her about her faith and love of Jesus until she fell asleep peacefully, just shy of her 90th birthday. A special thank you to Katie Jones, PSW, who lovingly nursed Marjatta, and to Dr. Connelly and all the staff, nurses and caregivers for their care and compassion. “Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD” Jeremiah 17:7
