Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGEORGE FREDERICK MILLS It is with great sadness the family announces that George Mills, 86 years of age, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 22, 2013. George was born June 14, 1927 in Winnipeg, MB. He will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by his wife Patricia, children George (Amina Bouayad), David (Bonnie Swayze) and Cathy Domke (David), grand-children Jeffrey, Jaclyn, Peter (Abby), Emma, Veronica and Julia, great-grand-children Mathus and Garron, sister Muriel Riddolls, and numerous family members. George was predeceased by his first wife Margaret (Peggy) of 49 years, his parents George and Hazel Mills, and brother-in-law Harold Riddolls. George grew up in Winnipeg, and, at a young age, went to work for Air Canada. He married Peggy in 1949, and they built their first house on Trent Avenue where they started their family. In 1970, they moved to Point Claire, PQ where they met many good friends. In 1977, they moved back to Winnipeg where George retired from Air Canada. After Peggy's passing, he re-acquainted with Patricia, and they were married in 2000. They had 13 wonderful years together. George enjoyed the family cottage in Grand Marais. He excelled at wood-working, and participated in the Good Neighbours Senior club. Grandpa's toys were always a favourite of his grand-children and great-grand-children. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will occur on Thursday, September 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the Central Church of Christ, 170 St. Mary's Road (corner of Tache and St. Mary's). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba or the MB Heart and Stroke Foundation.
