In search of answers to life’s questions, may Hilary find comfort and peace in the Lord’s open arms. Hilary was known for her free spirit and bubbly personality; anyone could talk to her. She would always be there to help people out, talk to them and be a good listener to people’s struggles or hardships. Organizing a clothing drive at the local park to help those in need, she would go down and speak to people at tent city about life’s hardships.
An avid beach goer, she would go down there to unwind, relax and often take pictures of nature’s landscapes. Whenever offered to go on outdoor adventures or camping trips, she would always be in for it. Along with her love for the outdoors, she also took interest in cooking delicious healthy meals.
She is predeceased by her Grandfathers Jose Pacheco and Eduardo Ribeiro. Hilary is survived by mother Gorette, father Louis and brother Matt; cousins Ivonette, Ashley, Sam, Talon, Rena; Aunts and Uncles Wendy & (Marcelo) Lazaro, Joe & (Cynthia) Pacheco, Eddie Ribeiro & (Kathy Lutz), Victor Ribeiro; Grandmothers Hedviges Pacheco and Noamia Ribeiro; as well as many other friends and family.
Her fun-loving personality, big smile will continue to live on in our hearts. God bless.

I knew Hilary through high-school. I think about her often and I wish she knew how much she is missed.
Her smile was often the only thing to keep me going. Selling me a bottle of wine, she always greeted me by name. I’m devastated. I wanted to tell her i was baptized this Easter. Hear me God: There’s no better candidate for angel status than Hilary. TED
Dear Louie, Gorette and Matt,
We were so heartbroken when we heard of Hilary’s passing. Such a lovely, friendly young woman with a big heart. She was a wonderful neighbour, and although we did not know her well enough, we will lovingly donate to Our Place in her name. When our own daughter, Andrea died at age 30, we were enveloped in the love of Our Place, just as she was during her years here.
May Hilary’s legacy change the world, as she truly wanted. May we all learn from her compassion. And may you all heal in God’s time.
Our deepest condolences to Louis and family. May God comfort you all at this time of need.
Rick, Eduardo and Maria Oliveira.
My sincere condolences to your family during this very difficult time. Keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts. Liz Seward (nee Moniz)

We are so sorry to hear of your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.
I want to extend my condolences to Hilary’s family. You are in my thoughts as you grieve for her.
Pray to God for the strength to cope with the pain of losing this dear young woman.
Revelation 21:3,4 points to the time when sickness and death will be destroyed in God’s own due time.
I hope this promise will be a source of comfort for you.
Dear Gorette,Louis & Matt: Our prayers and thoughts are with you today. Hugs Carol& Ralph Pengelly
