Lillian passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 29 at the age of 95. Born in the small town of Lowestoft, England on May 23 1922, Lillian moved with her family to Canada at the age of 10 months.
In 1943, she married Jim. They spent 67 years together, dancing at McMorran’s Beach House, playing badminton, sailboat racing, traveling on cruise ships and enjoying many feisty games of bridge at Goward House. Lillian loved her garden and playing cards with her grandchildren.
She was predeceased by Jim in 2011 and siblings, Ida and Norman. Lillian is survived by two children, Karen (Gord) and Brian (Kathy); five grandchildren, Michael, Julie (Mike), David (Francoise), Melanie (Matt), and Paul; two great-grandchildren, Ava and Logan, and many nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Lillian’s life will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive in Royal Oak on Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. Reception to follow.
The family extends sincere gratitude to the staff at both Berwick House (Shelbourne) and Sidney All Care for their kindness and care.
