Cicely passed away peacefully Dec 27, 2022 at Beckley Farm Lodge, her loving home for the past 8 ½ years. She was a truly remarkable lady and a wonderful mother, friend, sister, daughter, grandmother, great grandmother and wife.
Born in Victoria on Nov 3, 1930 to Edith and Edgar Rossiter, Cicely was the youngest of 4 children (siblings Larry, Patricia and Gweneth). She married Geoffrey Meek in 1953 and was a navy wife for many years, living in a number of places including Halifax, England, Scotland and Malta.
In 1970, Cicely returned to Victoria with her 4 children and worked for many years at the McPherson library at UVIC where she particularly enjoyed book repair and binding. In the mid 1970’s Cicely met Bill Spriggs and spent many happy years with him travelling, beekeeping and gardening until she moved to Beckley Farm Lodge in 2014.
We are honoured to describe mom as a practical, resilient, strong, kind, non-judgemental, hardworking, selfless, positive, thrifty and enthusiastic woman. She was an animal lover, interested in everyone she met and led by example but never lectured.
She was happiest in her garden and when she was with family.
Cicely is survived by children Tony, Su Cameron (Don), Tanya and Sarah Lee (Calvin), 7 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and numerous extended family members.
We would like to sincerely thank the staff at Beckley Farm Lodge who cared for our mother with patience, dignity and love.
Rest in peace, Mom.
