It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the peaceful passing of Josephine Hill, age 72, on Thursday, May 9, 2019 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by her loving family. She lost her battle with cancer, but Josie is now at peace. Born on October 14, 1946 in Sydney, Josie was the daughter of the late Clarence William and Theresa ‘Hayes’ Gardiner from Railroad Street, Sydney.
Josie enjoyed the simple things in life, family, good times and laughter. She was a member of St. Theresa’s and Holy Redeemer parishes. Josie will be forever missed but never forgotten by her family and friends.
Besides her parents, Josie was predeceased by her siblings, John Gardiner, Charles Gardiner, Genevieve Bishop, Nora Cameron, Bridget Ann Gardiner, Mary Elizabeth MacNeil, and a brother in infancy.
Josephine is survived by her children, Natasha (Neil Ferguson) Hill, John Hill and Jennifer Richardson; grandchildren, Samantha, Caitlin, Courtney and Ronnie Jr.; siblings, Jim Gardiner, Mike (Anne) Gardiner, Theresa Robic, Rose (John) Jack and Pearl Tanner; as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
At Josie’s request there will be no visitation.
