On March 2, 2018 at Dryden Regional Health Centre, Dryden, Ontario.
Mildred (Millie) Pound Cross of Ignace, Ontario and formerly from
Hunter River, (Rennies Road) PEI lost her battle with cancer she had
fought with such dignity. Dear daughter of Iona and Reagh (deceased)
Pound. Millie is survived by her loving husband Kelly Cross, son,
Philip (Amy), daughter Kerrie (Ryan Smith), grandchildren Kiara,
Riley, Sam and Cedric, furry friends Carman and Bao. Sisters and
brothers, Debby Lambe (Andy), Elizabeth (Liz) Coady (Kevin) both
deceased, Raeona Pound (Claude, deceased), Allan (deceased) his wife
Betty, Jamie (Mary), Janet (Craig Broome). Brothers in law, Dale Cross
(Gerry), Roger Cross (Maxine) and her close PEI friend Andrea Greenan
who she referred to as her “chosen sister”, her
“older adopted son” Fritz Fischer and his daughter, Senna
from Thunder Bay. Millie was predeceased by nephews Jeff and David
Lambe. Millie is survived by nieces and nephews, Craig Lambe (Rianne
Carragher), Bethany, Stephen (Gabriel), Danny Coady, Jason Pound
(Kara), Zack and Dylan Mailloux, Taylor Pound, Christopher and Darryl
Pound, Melanie Cochrane (Brian), Raeona Macleod (Mitch), Monique
Pound, Shawna Pound (Brett Harris). Millie always loved to hear what
her nieces and nephews were doing and she was a source for advice if
they were into a building project, or making a business or career
choice.
Millie’s infectious laugh and smile lit up the room. She loved
spending time with her children, and above all her grandchildren.
Millie’s family and friends were always very special to her and
she made sure she stayed connected. She loved adventure, spending time
outdoors, dogs, horses, swimming, fishing at their cabin on Raleigh
Lake, peacefully canoeing various rivers with her husband, Kelly and
their two dogs, or a cross country trek on a snowmobile with their
friends. Millie’s culinary skills were beyond reproach and she
did it all so effortlessly for her fortunate guests. She often
reminded us to tell our friends who might have occasion to travel
through Thunder Bay to contact her for a meal and a night’s
hospitality. Her creative ability turned into a successful business
when retail store operators began requesting her hand made Christmas
wreaths. She even exported them to U.S. over the years. She loved to
surprise her PEI family with visits and every time she was on PEI she
would look at property with the plan to have a place near her beloved
family and her old friends who she always remained close to,
regardless of where she lived. The opportunity to sit around with
family on PEI as the guitars played and everyone sang was a special
event for Millie. Anyone who spent any time with Millie heard the
daily stock reports, stocks to watch and ones to avoid. She also had a
keen interest and knowledge of real estate. She could talk for hours
about stocks and real estate trends. Anyone who had the pleasure of
knowing Millie also knew she didn’t hesitate to share her
perspective. If Millie didn’t approve of something she
didn’t hold that thought in for a second. We loved her for that
and so much more.
A memorial service will be held at Millie’s “happy
place” at the cabin at Raleigh Lake Ontario this summer.
