Hawksford Winnifred
June 17, 1914 - December 4, 2013
Tribute
Winnie passed away suddenly with family by her side, at Cowichan District Hospital, Duncan. BC.
Born in York England, the family moved to Canada in 1924, settling in Duncan in 1927.
She is survived by daughter Judy Gloster and Son Peter, grandchildren Kari (Gavin)
Ken, Jacquie, Steve, David (Kim) Robert (Mhairi)
Predeceased by brother Tony Hillyard and sister Betty Haggart.
She always enjoyed family gatherings and we were planning and looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday. Recently she would correct us when you say she is 99. “I’m 99 ½ you know”. She was looking forward to receiving a letter from the Queen for her birthday. She so enjoyed having family; especially little children visit, making for special moments. Special thanks to Judy and Jacquie for support over the years.
Winnie until recent years loved her garden and dearly loved her pets.
She loved to tell about her youthful fond memories of East Sooke and enjoying horse back riding throughout the Cowichan Valley with her sister Betty.
She had a deep love of her birthplace Yorkshire, and made many enjoyable visits.
Memories of Winnie will live on in all of us.
A funeral Mass and celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
In Lieu of flowers please donate to a charity of your choice.
