McMILLAN, Christina Ruth
December 19, 1928 – April 30, 2020
Passed away peacefully in accordance with her wishes at St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville on Thursday, April 30, 2020. She was predeceased by her parents, William D. McMillan and Mary “Minnie” (nee Macfarlane), her sisters Elizabeth “Bunty” Gilpin (Jack), Evelyn Heately (Bill), and brother Alex McMillan (Viola). She is survived by her nieces and nephews; Heather Elmore (Joel) of Danville, California; Ross Heately (Pat) of Orangeville; Scott McMillan (Jackie) of Port Hope; Betsy Heately of Brockville; Robert Heately (Judy) of Sudbury, and cousin Alison McMullen (Michael) of Ottawa. Cherished great aunt to John, Allison, Greg and Andrea. Christine was born in Montreal, and graduated from Montreal General Hospital School of Nursing in 1950, and McGill University in 1952. She had a very distinguished and dedicated nursing career at the Montreal General Hospital, and retired to Brockville in 1992.
In her years in Brockville she became involved in the community, with the UCW at Wall Street United Church, Meals on Wheels, and Scottish Country Dancing. She remained good friends with her co-members of the Montreal General Hospital Alumni Association, and participated regularly in their functions. She enjoyed extensive travel over the years, including visits to China, Israel, and many trips to Scotland.
Nothing pleased her more than getting together with her nieces and nephews and their families. Christine also always looked forward to her quiet times sitting in her sunroom reading a good book, with the company of her beloved cat Hamish.
The family would like to sincerely thank Dr. Ambrose Au of Brockville, and also the staff of the Ottawa Hospital Nephrology Clinic, for the excellent care and attention they provided to Christine over the years.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. Arrangements and donations entrusted to the IRVINE FUNERAL HOME, Brockville, with interment at Oakland Cemetery at a later date.
In Christine’s memory, donations to Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Nephrology would be greatly appreciated.
Please take a moment to send a condolence or share a special thought of Christina on the Memory Wall above. Thank you.
