Obituary of Maure Gillies
GILLIES, Maurita (Maure) Elsie
December 4, 1932 – April 15, 2020
Maure passed in the early morning at Forest Heights Long Term Care, Kitchener due to Alzheimer’s & complications of Corvid-19.
Born in Bathurst NB to Riordon and Martha Cripps. She is survived by sister-in-law Anne Cripps, nephews Wayne, Ken, Jim and Pat, and niece Debbie.
She was predeceased by siblings Riordon, Ken, Marge and Joseph. Maure retired from the Toronto Star on January 1, 1998 after 25 years in various roles. She loved spending her winters in Florida and enjoyed writing letters, composing poetry and sending cards as a way of staying in touch. Her ability to keep in touch ended long before her thoughts of doing so.
