TIER, Hilda Elizabeth (nee Reed)

Peacefully on December 14, 2006, at the age of 94. Hilda was predeceased by her husband Gordon McLarty Tier and is survived by her children: Peggy (Bob Poulton), Lois Gareau (late Don), David Tier (Wendy) and Susan Tier of the Soo; Raymond (Darlene) of Ottawa; Danny of Kitchener; and Paul (Peggy) of Victoria. She was a loving and influential inspiration to 14 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. From her earliest days as a school teacher in Tarentorous, Hilda has had a tremendously positive impact on so many peoples lives. She will be remembered by many friends, family, children and grandchildren, who were touched by her warm spirit through her involvement in church activities, volunteer work in libraries, and the warm hospitality of her home at card games over the kitchen table. Her positive outlook, impish sense of humour, compassion and devout spiritual beliefs have guided many of us, both friends and family alike. Friends are invited to attend a memorial service at Northwood Funeral Home (942 Great Northern Road 945-7758) on Saturday, December 16, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. in celebration of her life. Guests are invited to visit with the family at Northwood after the ceremony. If desired, remembrances of Hilda may be made to the charity of your choice. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks to the staff of Extendicare, where she received outstanding and compassionate care during the last several years of her life.
