Passing along the sad news of the loss of our beloved Liz McLaren-Davies. She was our bartender at the ANAF for Golden Throats Karaoke for years, and I’m not exaggerating when I say she became like family to us. We literally love her. She was so sassy and strong and hilarious and caring and devoted. Even years after she stopped bartending for us she continued to reach out and connect, to give gifts, to make sure everyone was doing okay, and to extend condolences when we lost a friend. She was so deeply authentic and badass. We’re absolutely crushed by this loss and know we will never meet another like her.
Our next karaoke on Sept 19th will be in honour of Liz - if you were around in her era and she had a favourite request she’d give you, feel free to sing it. But honestly just sing whatever brings you joy and makes you feel powerful and strong and beautiful and hilarious like her.
We’re closing the door but we’re opening a bottle of wine and we know you’re right here with us ❤️💔🍷
“With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Elizabeth “Liz” McLaren-Davies, who left us just two days shy of celebrating 37 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Robin.
Liz was the proud and loving mother of Dylan (Emily), cherished sister to Kate McLaren, and a devoted aunt to Will, Vita, and Christina. She was predeceased by her parents, Pearl and Jim, and her brothers, W***y and Chris.
Liz was outgoing, fun, and the undeniable life of every party. She had an army of friends and a warmth that drew people in. Generous to a fault, she gave her love freely—and often with a glass of wine in hand and her dog, Annie, by her side.
A life well led by a lady well loved. Liz leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. She will be deeply missed.
Cremation has taken place.
A Celebration of Life will take place at the ANAF Club:
32 Gordon St
Guelph, On Sunday,
Oct 5th, from 1pm till 4 pm
As expressions of sympathy, donations to Hospice Wellington in memory of Liz would be appreciated by the family.”
