Lillian passed away surrounded by family at the age of 88 on January 28, 2019 in Port Alberni, BC. Sadly predeceased by her husband Rod in 1975 and her son Robert Mitchell Hewson in 1999. Survived by her children Larry Hewson, Valorie (Doug) Smith; grandchildren Katinna (J.J.) Savard and Jamie (Samantha) Smith and great grandchildren Riley, Braden, Nevaeh and Gabe.
Born in Tilbury, England in 1930, Lillian moved to Ontario at the tender age of 3 months. In 1965, she made her final move with her three children to Port Alberni, BC. Lillian belonged to the Legion as well as the Sunshine Club and enjoyed it immensely, often going on outings and attending exercise classes. At home, she loved doing her crosswords. She was hardworking, loved by everyone who knew her and deeply devoted to her family above all else.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at West Coast General Hospital for the outstanding care they provided Lillian. Per Lillian’s wishes, a private family service will be held at a later date.
