Lillian Awde
AWDE, Lillian Mary (nee Gardener). It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mother/Grandmother on Monday, September 26, 2016 surrounded by her loving family at Norfolk General Hospital in her 88th year. Loving wife of 52 years of the late Doug (2003). Beloved mother of Brian, Barry (and Laurie), and Bruce (and Janette). Devoted Gramma to David (Kayla), Ashley (Josh), Coby (Garrett) and Canaan (Shelby) all which she felt were perfect in every way. Predeceased by her siblings, Walter, Margaret, Elsie and Edna. Favourite Aunt to Donelda (Bob) Garnett, Kervyne (Chris) LaRoque, Dave LaRoque, Riesa (Stan) Marcus-Venchuk, Pat (Roger) Carriere, Barb (Bob) Twiss, Joy Holt, and Kim Holt all of Western Canada, she shared a special bond with them all. Lil loved bowling in her younger years and has many trophies to prove her accomplishments. She loved to garden both fruits and vegetables and took great pride in her yield. Her wine store, which she ran for just shy of 35 years and up until her passing, gave her great joy and was her social network. She loved the Fire Department and the Lions, both of which her initial love for came from loving her husband and his interests; she subsequently became actively involved in helping them succeed in any way she could. She loved Blue Jays Baseball, especially when they won! The neighbourhood squirrel population will also mourn her as she kept them well fed throughout the year. Special thanks to the kind staff at Norfolk General Hospital & Juravanski Cancer Centre for their compassionate care.
