Laura Maria Wilson

January 9, 1953 - March 20, 2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Laura Wilson on March 20, 2026 at Markham Stouffville Hospital, with her family by her side. As a proud Mother and Nonna, she cherished meals around the dinner table and always brought a quick wit that filled the room with laughter. Laura was an extraordinary woman who was always a bright light to those around her, going out of her way to provide love and kindness to every connection she made. 

Born in Toronto, she was the beloved daughter of Felice and Speranza Cerqua. She is survived by her two children, Nicholas (Erika) and Lisa (Ashley), as well as her cherished four grandchildren: Macksen, Beau, William and Hannah. She is also lovingly remembered by her two brothers Tony (Tina) and Joe (Linda), along with many nieces and nephews.

A visitation at 11:00 am and a service at 12:00 pm will be held at Dixon-Garland Funeral Home, 166 Main Street North, Markham followed by a Celebration Of Life at the Cornell Community Centre Auditorium Hall, 3201 Bur Oak Ave, Markham on the 2nd floor, at 1:45 pm. The family looks forward to welcoming extended family and friends. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation towards Type One Diabetes Research through www.breakthroughT1D.ca. 

Laura will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
