I wish to extend my deepest condolances to Leonora’s family, this is a tragic and unimaginable loss.
I met Leonora at the Montreal Jewish General Hospital over 14 years ago- we became fast friends and colleagues. Her boundless love of life brought light and laughter to the office. A typical day saw Leonora bringing in mangoes, a perfectly matched clothing ensemble and a story of her latest idea she was putting in motion (sometimes involving the Ghandi foundation, other times dancing).
Recently, when Leo heard I was sad, she emailed me with an offer. She was driving to see me, and brining food to make dumplings, and spending the night. Suffice it to say Leonora was a force of nature- the world, and I, will miss her.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Stephanie Robins

Nous exprimons nos plus sincères condoléances à la famille et aux proches de Leonora.
Leonora avait rejoint notre équipe de recherche en tant que stagiaire postdoctorale en janvier 2024, animée par le désir de contribuer à une initiative qui résonnait profondément avec ses valeurs. Son apport a été précieux tout au long de son passage parmi nous.
L’annonce de son décès a été un choc pour nous tous. Nous garderons en mémoire la personne dynamique, engagée et entière qu’elle a été.

Dear family and friends of Leonora,
We were deeply saddened to hear of Leonora's sudden passing.
We had such great times with her at the ICFP and then learned about her amazing work with Curry Collective.
She was such an inspiration to all of us. So kind, so warm, so generous of her being. She was a such a support to so many. She sincerely gave of herself to the cause.
We last spoke to her in person in September when she kindly picked up some kitchenware to share with the collective.
We were really happy to have known her.
In our Indian belief, it is said that souls reincarnate. Given her wonderful actions during this life, I believe she is in a good place now, and will continue the beautiful work of serving others.
In particular, her passing on the winter solstice itself is a good omen.
And it's lovely to hear that her legacy may continue in Montreal.
We wish great peace and solace to Leonora's beloved family and friends in this time.
With our heartfelt condolences,
Soham and Neeti

J'ai eu l'occasion de côtoyer brièvement Leonora dans son implication dans Parc-Extension et au sein d'Afrique au Féminin. Ce que j'ai pu voir comme grande qualité chez elle c'est sa simplicité, sa générosité, son accessibilité, etc. Elle ne se prenait pas pour un autre malgré qu'elle avait un doctorat. Et elle pouvait mettre en place des projets simples qui rejoint les besoins des femmes, de leur famille, pour une meilleure intégration des femmes dans la communauté. Mais elle pouvait également s'atteler à faire des démarches plus complexe afin d'aider les nouveaux arrivants dans leur demande diverses auprès de diverses institutions. Je garderai le souvenir d'une femme honnête, sensible, enthousiasme, qui avait la joie de vivre, d'aider son prochain, chercher des solutions pour l'amélioration de la qualité de vie de tous et chacun. Merci Leonora pour ta contribution et tu as su inspirer les femmes et tant de citoyens autour de toi.
I had the opportunity to briefly meet Leonora in her involvement in Parc-Extension and within Afrique au Féminin. What I saw as a great quality in her was her simplicity, her generosity, her accessibility, etc. She didn't think she was anyone else even though she had a doctorate. And she could implement simple projects that meet the needs of women and their families, for better integration of women in the community. But she could also take on more complex procedures in order to help new arrivals with their various requests from various institutions. I will remember an honest, sensitive, enthusiastic woman who had the joy of living, of helping her neighbors, of seeking solutions to improve the quality of life of everyone. Thank you Leonora for your contribution and you were able to inspire women and so many citizens around you

I was truly heartbroken to hear of Leonora's passing. She was such a bright, beautiful soul, and her smile could light up any room. II was fortunate enough to met her couple of times and each time I met her she left a huge impact on me. My deepest condolences for her and prayers for her family. Her efforts to change many lives and kindness will be missed. It is very rare to meet someone in life who would leave huge impact on hearts and she was one of those souls who touched everyone around her.I am wishing you strength and peace in the days ahead.

It's with great sadness that I learned of Leonora's passing. She was a truly inspiring person who gave so much of herself to the Parc -Ex community. She will be greatly missed.
I had the privilege of working with her on the Welcome Haven project and the workshops for asylum seekers. It was a truly stimulating and important project. It was a real pleasure to work alongside her.
My sincere condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Leonora. She was a pillar of our community in Parc-Extension, a person whose kindness, dedication, and tireless efforts touched so many lives. Her work left a lasting impact, and her absence will be profoundly felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her memory will live on in the countless lives she changed and the legacy of hope and support she built.
Please know that my thoughts are with her friends, family and coworkers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories of Leonora and in the knowledge that her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us all.

She was a great neighbour, I wish I knew her more. And she adopted Tia (now renamed Luna), a cat that we found in our building's corridor.
She was passing by and I asked her if she wanted a cat. "Uuuuh, maybe?". Not thinking more, I thought it meant "no" said in a diplomatic way.
To my surprise, an hour later she knocked on our door, a litter box and cat food in her hands.
I wish condoléances to her family and friends.

Leo,
You were such a fierce flame for the entire community, and quite tragically taken far too soon. You so quickly became my mentor, took me under your wing and you taught me so much in a few months. I miss you terribly and I am so grateful to have known you.
Miss you,
Chandni

Comme résident de Parc-Extension, je connais bien son engagement. J'ai croisé brièvement Leonora à quelques reprises. Son élégance, sa douceur, son esprit d'entreprise et sa générosité étaient évidentes. Elle manquera à ceux qui l'ont côtoyée et connue, mais aussi à notre quartier auquel elle aurait pu apporter encore beaucoup.
Mes sympathies à ses parents et à ses proches frappés par cette perte aussi brusque que cruelle. Mais dites-vous que l'engagement de votre fille a certainement d'abord été nourri par vos valeurs familiales. Que cette fierté demeure, malgré tout.
Mes sympathies.

Leonora was a brilliant young woman who lived a life of commitment to her values. It was an honor and a great pleasure to have the chance to work with her in Parc-Extension, where she leaves a legacy and will be remembered for her dedication and many contributions to migrant justice, women's empowerment, and neighborhood solidarity. It is a tremendous blow to lose her so young and so suddenly. Sincere condolences to Leonora's family from those of us whom she touched in Montréal.
