GWEN GILLESPIE (nee GREAVES) It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved mother, Gwen Gillespie (nee Greaves) days after celebrating her 89th birthday. Mom was predeceased by our dad Eldrid (Jim) in 2001. She is survived by her daughter Gloria (Gene) Charney, sons Douglas (Karen) and Gary (Bonnie), her grandchildren Jamie (Kristen), Deena (Tim) Dyck, Bradley (Teresa), Tim (Heather), Jeff and David (Sylvie). She was also dearly loved by her numerous Greaves and Gillespie family members. The bright lights of her life were her great-grandchildren: Mary, Jessica, Johnny, Michael, Samra, Matthew, Justice, Jackson, Ava, Noah, Connor and Jeremiah. Cookies and butter tarts were always there for her 12 darlings. Mom, you taught us and led by example how to love one another and accepted each of us for who we are. Thank you Mom. We will always miss you and love you. Heartfelt thanks for all the kindness and compassion shown to Mom at the Seven Oaks Hospital, 5th floor Unit 1 as well as the ER staff. In lieu of flowers, should you choose, Mom was a very dedicated knitter of winter mitts and scarves for Rossbrook House. It would be her charity of choice. As per Mom's request, a private family service will take place on Monday, January 22, with a private interment to take place in the spring.
