SKEDZUHN, Gabrielle Margaret Rose (nee McCluskey)
Passed away peacefully at Bradford Valley Care Community on Wednesday July 6, 2022, at 82 years of age. Predeceased by her former husband, Lothar Skedzuhn (d.2005). Beloved mother of Timothy (late Robin Singer, d.2020), Christopher and Nicola Wood (Stephen). Proud Nana of Zachary and Jacob Singer-Skedzuhn. Sister of Janet Griffiths of New Zealand and predeceased by brother Clutha McCluskey (d.2000). Eldest daughter of the late Gwendolyn and James McCluskey. Gabrielle was born in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, where she completed her nursing education. Her travels around the world brought her to Toronto where she met her future husband Lothar Skedzuhn.
