Lillian Marlene Nagy Obituary, Death – A tragic hit-and-run incident in North York on Wednesday night has left a family mourning, as the victim has now been identified by her husband. John Moran confirmed that his wife, Lillian Marlene Nagy, was the woman killed in the collision. The incident occurred around 9 p.m. near Sheppard Avenue West and Bathurst Street, while the couple was returning home from visiting a friend.
According to Moran, he and Nagy were both riding their e-scooters when the collision happened. As they approached the intersection of Goddard Street and Codsell Avenue, Nagy was struck by a vehicle while crossing. Emergency services arrived quickly, but despite efforts, the 64-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Eyewitness accounts suggest the vehicle involved was a small white sedan. The car reportedly fled the scene after hitting Nagy, and as of now, authorities have not located the driver or the vehicle. The Toronto Police Service continues its search for the suspect and urges anyone with information or surveillance footage to come forward.
Kristine Suarez, a resident in the neighborhood, shared her account of the incident with CTV News Toronto. She described the crash as extremely violent, explaining that Nagy was thrown a significant distance from the point of impact. Suarez estimated the car’s speed at over 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, a concerning figure for what is typically a calm and quiet residential area where speed limits are generally much lower. “This is a quiet neighborhood,” Suarez said. “At least drive 20 to 30 km/h.”
Nagy’s death has left a lasting impact not just on her family and local community, but also on those who knew her through her professional and charitable work. She and her husband had recently retired after serving 30 years with the Toronto District School Board. Beyond their careers in education, the couple shared a passion for helping others, particularly children in need. They owned a home in Malindi, Kenya, where they had been actively involved in charitable activities for the past two decades. Through their efforts, they supported and improved the lives of children in the Kenyan village.
The investigation into the hit-and-run is ongoing. Police are reviewing surveillance footage and gathering witness statements to help identify the driver responsible for the fatal incident. Authorities emphasize that anyone with information, no matter how minor it may seem, could help lead to an arrest.
Meanwhile, the community mourns the loss of a woman remembered for her dedication to children, education, and global outreach. Her husband, family, friends, and former students are left grieving a senseless loss caused by an act of reckless driving and an unconscionable failure to remain at the scene.
