November 26, 1938 to February 20, 2021
With sad hearts we mourn the passing of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and wife. Her children Cindy (Gerry) Poole, John (Julie) Longstreet, Cathy (Bill) Ellis, grandchildren Ashley, Lindsey, Shaun, Adam, Zach and Chelsie, great-grandchildren Khloe and Kali, husband Frank, sister Louise (John) Dambrowitz and brother Bob Winters will forever miss her. She was predeceased by her father and mother Bill and Pearl Parcels, brother Larry, and first husband Melvin Longstreet. She was born in Matheson, Ontario, raised in Shillington, Ontario and then moved back to Matheson where she married and raised her family. She attended college and went on to work at the Matheson CIBC, the Black River Matheson Township Office and as manager of Longstreet Drilling. She enjoyed being a Brownie Leader and 4H Leader, passing on her knowledge to youngsters. She was a talented seamstress and an amazing cook. She enjoyed gardening especially when she retired to her paradise at Sesekinika Lake. She was a strong, independent and intelligent person who taught us all life lessons and supported us through life’s many adventures. We were proud of her accomplishments and loved her deeply.
Her wishes were always that we not grieve her passing but celebrate a life well-lived. A celebration of her life will be held in the summer when we can gather again to share happy stories and memories. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Kirkland and District Hospital.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Wilma Lillian Longstreet-Potts nee Parcels 2021..
Death notice for the town of: Kirkland Lake, Province: Ontario
