Longtime Standardbred groom Elizabeth “Liz” McLaren-Davies, 72, of Guelph, Ont., passed away on Sept. 9, 2025, 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, Willy 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, located at 32 Gordon St., Guelph, ON, on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to Hospice Wellington in memory of Liz would be appreciated by the family.
