EDITH MARY MILLS (nee PACI) March 29, 1927 - February 2, 2018. With loving hearts, the family of Edith Mills announces her passing at Riverview Health Centre in the early hours of Friday, February 2, 2018 at the age of 90 years. Edith was predeceased by her husband Donovan, her parents, two brothers and three sisters. Edith's memory lives on in her son Donovan Jr. (Jenny); and daughters, Susan and Kim (Greg); her sisters, Florence, Bobbi and Joan; brothers, Jim and Jimmy; and many beloved nieces and nephews. She is survived by three grandchildren, Jared, Kevin and Rylee, and great-granddaughter Sage. Edith's early years were spent in Rosewood and St. Anne, Manitoba. She obtained her teacher's certificate at the United College in Winnipeg, and returned to her rural roots to teach in the Medica School Division in Hadashville, Manitoba. Soon the City would call her back and it was on Simcoe Street in the city's west end where she would meet a charming young man, Donovan, who had just returned from military service in Europe. Theirs was a marriage that would span 62 years. Edith was a long-time resident of St. Vital where many neighbours became life-long friends. She so valued community involvement and willingly gave of her time and talents to the Manitoba Society of Seniors, Age and Opportunity, Christ the King Parish and the Catholic Women's League. Edith's passion for people, and her unfiltered, no-nonsense style were uniquely hers and will long be remembered. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Christ the King Parish, 847 St. Mary's Road, Winnipeg at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 7, 2018 with Fr. Gerry Ward presiding. Private family interment to follow at Green Acres Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. GREEN ACRES Funeral Home & Cemetery Hwy. #1 East at Navin Road, Winnipeg, MB (204) 222 3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • Don, Susan and Kim, sad to read of your mom's passing. Knowing her she's talked to everyone in heaven already. So many fond memories of long conversations with her that instantly bring a smile to my lips. As much as it was not "proper" she reluctantly would serve my tea in a mug. And the conversation continued. Be it a chance meeting at Canadian Tire or Superstore, my time with her was always valued. Let the tears flow as when they drop off your chin they'll land over your heart to comfort the pain that is there. Love to all Jin. - Posted by: Jeannine Carman (friend) on: Feb 06, 2018

  • We met Edith last Christmas when our Nana came to live on Edith's floor. Our family's weekly visits were never without a stop to visit Edith at her table. She and Quinn (11) would chat about school and hockey and whatever Quinn happened to be wearing. Edith will be missed on our visits. Our sincere condolences on your loss. - Posted by: Chody and Quinn Sutherland (visitor at Riverview) on: Feb 06, 2018

  • Don, Susan and Kim - Sincere sympathy to you and your family. We hold dear many memories of both your Mom and Dad dating back to the 70s when both Susan and Kim babysat our children. It was my pleasure to have visited with your Mom at Riverview just before Christmas. While the visit was an emotional time for your Mom, it was wonderful to reminisce about those years when we met and when Susan and Kim were at our home. Your Mom was such a lovely lady and your family will always be remembered by us and our now grown sons. - Posted by: Lynda and Ed Taylor (friends) on: Feb 06, 2018

  • Dear Don, Susan and Kim: Your Mom and Dad were my Mother's neighbours for many years on Springside Drive and were the very best neighbours one could have. They were always there to help my Mom and did so on many occasions. My deepest sympathy to you and your families. Sincerely, Alice (Babe Barber) Sisler. - Posted by: Alice Sisler (Babe Barber) (My Mother's neighbour) on: Feb 06, 2018
