LILIAN PRIMUS
Born and raised in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Lilian was predeceased by her mother Ruby Alexander, father George Primus, brother Bertie Primus and sister Gloria Primus.
Lilian was a hard worker who did her best to care for and provide for her family. Lilian began working as a primary school teacher and then moved on to become a seamstress for the rest of her working career. Lilian's dedication to hard work extended to her bountiful garden, her exceptional cooking and her unshakeable faith.
Lilian will be greatly missed by her family and friends whom she always greeted with a seat at the kitchen table, a hot meal and
fabulous baking, and if you were lucky, she would send you home with her famous rum cake, hot pepper sauce and patties.
Lilian is survived by her children, Elmarie Wilson (Randolph), Drexel Primus, Lu-Ann Dopwell and Evan Primus (Wanda); siblings, Cynthia (nee Patsy) Alexander, Earl Alexander and Winston Phillips who reside in Winnipeg as well as siblings, Venita Marshall, Janie Millon, Newton Primus, Sylvia Primus and Evan Primus who reside in England; 13 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
Cremation will take place on Saturday, December 12, 2020 with a Celebration of Life to follow in the new year.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.

We knew Lilian through her son Evan. We got to know Lilian even better when she became our Caribbean connection and we would order patties, jars of spice, and pepper sauce from her. We put the spice on everything! No matter how hard we tried, she would never tell us what was in it. As we got to know her better, when we'd go to pick up an order, she'd say to us "well come in, what are you waiting for?!" She made us laugh with her sharp wit, we can see where Evan got it from. She always made us feel welcome and like family when you went to her place. A one of a kind person. Our sincere condolences to Evan and Wanda, and the rest of Lilians family.
