Lilian Canton Trinidad Monteith, Toronto, Canada— The sudden and unexpected passing of Lilian Canton Trinidad Monteith on August 1, 2024, has left her friends, family, and colleagues in deep sorrow and heartbreak. Lilian was a beloved sister, friend, and colleague known for her selflessness, humor, and dedication to her loved ones.
Lilian had no immediate next of kin in Canada. Her closest friend, Than Le, and her cousin, Murita Chua, have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of the bereavement process and to send Lilian’s remains back to the Philippines, where she can be laid to rest with her parents. The fundraiser has a goal of $7,000 CAD.
Lilian came to Toronto over 30 years ago to seek a better life for herself and her younger sisters, whom she supported financially by sending money home for their education and wellbeing. She was a devoted nanny to the Simon family for over 20 years and was a cherished member of the Starbucks team for more than two decades.
Lilian was a bright light to those who knew her, remembered for her caring nature, intelligence, and love for fashion. She leaves behind her sisters, Leah and Ava Trinidad in the Philippines, her half-sister Victoria Roque in Toronto, and numerous friends and colleagues who will miss her greatly, especially her beautiful smile and dimples.
The community has expressed their grief and shared heartfelt messages on Facebook. Than Le, with Ava Trinidad and Leah C. Trinidad, posted, "Dear friends and family, on August 1, 2024, I received the devastating news that one of my closest friends, Lilian Monteith, unexpectedly passed away. We are all devastated and heartbroken, and will miss Lilian greatly. As she had no immediate next of kin here, we are doing our best to honour Lilian with the ultimate goal of sending her remains back home to the Philippines, where she can be laid to rest with her beloved parents. Please share and donate if you can. Thank you so much."
