Lillian’s Obituary
Passed away at Woodingford Lodge in Ingersoll, ON, on Saturday Oct 22, 2022 in her 102nd year. She was born in Paris, ON, on Aug 1, 1921 to Pharoah Hey & Viola Willson. Lillian was a loving mother to her son Keith (Louise) and she cherished her grandchildren Chelsea, Ethan and Jeremy.
Predeceased by her husband Roy and son Paul, sisters Isabel, Doris, Ruby and Myrtle. Sister-in-law of Bill Close, Jules Von Gunten, Wilfred Hillock, Ernest Embleton, Elizabeth & Harry Rutishauser, James, Marie and Ruth Dodd. She will be missed will by her many nieces and nephews: Muriel (late Dale) Milmine, Hazel (Art) Binch, Pharolyn (John) Perk, Eleanor Von Gunten, Rita (Doug) Wageman, Carolyn (Bill) Easterbrook, Rena Schuler, Lorie & Estol Embleton
Her primary school education was completed at the one room Keg Lane School in Paris. She trained as a Registered Nurse in the United States and worked for many years at the Willett Hospital in Paris, ON. She felt that nursing was her calling in life, privileged to offer care for those who were ill or injured, and she hoped that her care brightened each of her patient’s days and set them on a road to a speedy and full recovery. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, tatting, quilting, but most of all her knitting – sweaters, socks and she knit too many hats for newborn to count.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Staff at Woodingford Lodge and all of the health care professionals at Brantford General Hospital who all provided such exceptional care for her over the years when she was ill.
Friends will be welcomed at the DWAYNE D. BUDGELL Funeral Home, 1105 Rest Acres Road on Wednesday from 7 – 9. Funeral Service will be held in the Funeral Home Chapel on Thursday October 27, 2022 at 11 a.m. Interment will follow in the Paris Cemetery. In Lillian’s memory, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society (cancer.ca/en/) would be appreciated by the family.
