January 11, 1930 – November 23, 2012
Born in Belfast, N. Ireland. Lily passed away in her own home, as was her wish, surrounded by loved ones.
Lily is recently predeceased by her husband, Angus, of almost 60 years. She is survived by her loving sister, Margaret; daughters, Anna and Katie; grandsons, Jesse and Aidan, son-in-laws, Shane and Craig and many nieces and nephews as well as loving friends.
Lily will be remembered as a gentle, kind and loving spirit. She loved all things living – people, animals and plants. She loved to have fun and enjoyed nothing more than a good laugh. Her wit was sharp right up until the day she died.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Goward House, 2495 Arbutus Road, Victoria on Thursday, November 29th from 5 to 7 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

Nathan Walker Lily was just a wonderful person from the day I met her we made a connection and it was always a pleasure when she would come into the bank. She always had a joke or a kind word to say and I must say she always put a smile on my face…I’m going to miss my friend Lily.

Ann McDonald Dear Katie, Craig, and family,
May God bless you during your time of loss. I am grateful I was able to meet your mom on several occasions. What a dear, sweet soul and what a storyteller…with her laugh and wit! “A Celebration of Life” is such a wonderful term. It was a very special thing to see the love between Katie and her mom…I am grateful that I was able to have that experience. It touched me.
with love, Ann & Bob

You and I will meet again

Katie, Craig and family
Our love to you in this time of loss. We are both so happy that we got to spend time with your mom in Carmen’s house last year. We both remember sitting around the table in the kitchen laughing with your mom who definitely loved life. We also loved the relationship that she and Craig shared.
Thank God you were all together at this time. It will mean so much to you in years to come.
Pat and Adam
