SESSILJA STILL

SESSILJA MARGARET STILL (DOLL) It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our mom, amma, sister and friend, Sessilja (Sess) Still in her 77th year on June 12, 2012. Sessilja leaves to cherish her memory her son Gunnar (Cindy) and granddaughter Christina (Ibrahim); daughter Gail and grandson Christopher. Sessilja will also be lovingly remembered by her sister and dear friend, Ingibjorg Doll, niece Laurene and her family, and nephew Kurt. Sessilja was a kind, sweet, gentle soul who through so many challenges in her life always was ready to give a smile and a hug. We will so miss that smile and her enduring positive spirit. Sessilja grew up on Hecla Island and was so proud of her heritage. She worked as a dental assistant for over 20 years and loved to be around people and they loved her. She loved to be outside and just tinker around the yard in her retirement years. Sess made many friends and made the world a better place just by being in it. We love you so much. Sessilja was blessed to have had exceptional care during her most challenging years and we thank the caring staff of Irene Baron Eden Centre and River East Personal Care Home. In accordance with Sessilja's wishes no funeral service will be held. A private family interment will take place. As an expression of sympathy, if one so wishes, memorial donations may be made to the charity of one's choice. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com

  • Sess was a Angel on earth! She was always willing to come and brighten your day, she spent many days in my flower shop.(flowers & heather) She loved visiting and was always ready to help. She definitely brought positive energy every time she entered the shop. We all adored her...Please accept my deepest sympathy to her family, in which I can say she was soooo proud of!
