Wife of the late Kenneth Hoy and the late Alfred McMillan. Loving mother of the late David McMillan (Colleen), late Sharon Whalen (late Dywer), late Linda McMillan, Cathy Hallaert (Dirk), Connie McMillan (late Perry), Melvin McMillan (Brenda) and Wayne McMillan. Dear sister of late Joan Phillips (late Bucky), Ruth Moore (late Bob) and late Barry Mathewson (late Diane).
Proud Grandmother of Mary McMillan, Jason (Lisa) and Lucas (Johanna) Whalen, Jessica (Ty) Miller, Mickie (Bill) Van Vallis, Brandy Huot, Matthew McMillan, Cindy (Ozzie) Grandinetti, Mark (Kim) and Michael (Lisa) Weise. She is also great grandma, and great-great grandma to many.
She was a strong and loving mother, and she also took pride in her position as Head of Housekeeping at the Plummer Memorial Hospital for 22 years. She was known for her no-nonsense approach and her compassionate leadership. Following her retirement, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, playing cards with her friends and being part of the "Young at Heart" road trips. She loved fishing, camping at Tunnel Lake and knitting.
She spent her last years at the F.J Davey Home on Birch Lane 1. We would like to acknowledge and thank Heather, Cheryl and the rest of the staff that took very special care of her.
