Born December 31,1939 in Seaham Harbour, UK, the youngest of 7. Greta immigrated to Canada in 1968, where she continued her career in retail until the birth of her children, at which time she became a full-time mom, returning to retail when circumstances demanded. She was a great mother, very involved in her children’s lives. She took pride in all their athletic endeavours, among other things. Her support and involvement in the local youth sports programmes extended beyond her kids’ tenure at both National Little League and the Victoria soccer community. Much as she loved her kids, however, nothing could compare with the way she felt about her grandchildren. She truly came to life upon meeting each of them and they were such a source of delight and vitality in the short time she had with them.
Greta passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, after a lengthy and valiant battle with cancer. Survived by her children Claire (Lawrence), Neil (Sonia), and her beloved grandchildren, Gustavo and Caliana.
No service by request. Donations can be made in Greta‘s name to the MS Society of Canada, a charity close to her heart mssociety.ca/
