Aubrey Hillier
March 22, 1950 – March 20, 2023
It is with broken hearts that the family of the late Aubrey Hillier of Point au Gaul announces his passing. Aubrey passed away at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre in Burin on Monday, March 20th, 2023, at the age of 72.
Predeceased by his parents Edgar and Louisa Hillier and sisters, Elsie (Norman) and Doris (Cecil).
Aub leaves to mourn with a lifetime of wonderful memories his wife of 53years, Beth and his daughters Marlene (Ross) and Sherry (Kenneth); his 3 grandchildren, Carter, Colby and Hayley, who were his pride and joy; his brother, Howard (Bernice) who he loved dearly, his nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart, especially nephew Trevor, and nieces Cindy and Michelle. Aub had a large circle of family and friends, most of them have many special and funny memories but we would be remiss if we didn’t say he will be sadly missed by his buddies Rich, Bradley, Lil and George.
Aub was a hard working, generous man. From a young age he went away to work and spent many months away from his family. He worked years with Seafarers International on the Great Lakes, worked 13 years on the tugs servicing the oil industry and spent the last of his career in the North on tug and barge bringing supplies to Northern Communities. After retirement he fished with anyone who needed an extra man. He truly loved the sea. On his months home from work, he made his home a welcoming place for his friends and family to gather and hosted more than one party in his time. He had friends from all ages ranging from 18 to 80 and was known by so many. He was generous to a fault and had no problem helping his friends with money or pitching in to help with any project they had going on.
Anyone who knew Aub knew he loved his Toronto Maple Leafs (even if they continually broke his heart). He was loved beyond measure by his family and friends and was always there to lend a hand. He loved spending time with his family, and while he certainly didn’t love St. John’s he never missed an opportunity to go visit his family. He spent lots of weekends with his daughters at Jack’s Pond and loved to spend time there. From the annual lobster weekend he provided for, to listening to his buddy Bill sing a few songs, to blueberry picking, he loved those weekends. We could write a book with funny stories about him and his friends could provide many chapters. When he loved you, he did it with his whole heart.
In keeping with Aub’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
Aub will be resting at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Lamaline Friday, March 24th, 2023 from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm, followed by a Family Service beginning at 7:00pm. Funeral Service will take place Saturday, March 25th, 2023 @ 1:00pm from St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Lamaline. Inurnment to follow at the St. Mary’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Lamaline, NL.
In Aub’s memory donations may be made to the St. Mary’s Anglican Church Cemetery Fund, Lamaline, a charity of one’s choice or flowers are greatly accepted.
