Peacefully at the Palace LTC on Monday, March 1, 2021. Béla Ujhegyi of Alexandria; age 88 years. Beloved husband of Ilona Ujhegyi (née Toth).

Béla immigrated to Canada from Hungary in 1957 with little in his pockets but much hope in his heart.
He worked hard while raising a family in St-Hubert, QC; married for 55 years.
He loved the outdoors, soccer, running marathons and was an avid gardener.
After retiring from his career as a mechanic with Air Canada in Montreal, he settled in Alexandria, ON and remained active on his hobby farm.
Alzheimer’s may have taken his memories but he never lost his sense of humor and kindness which warmed the hearts of many around him.
Per Béla’s request, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. If you would like to join us, please email us at celebratebela@gmail.com. As expressions of sympathy, Memorial Donations to the Canadian Alzheimer Society would be appreciated by the family. As a Memorial to Béla, a tree will be planted in a memory woods. A tree grows – memories live.
