It is with great sadness that we announce the
passing of Winifred Marie McInnes (nee Millar). Win
passed peacefully in her sleep on March 22, 2019.
She is survived by and lovingly remembered by her
husband of 66 years, David Leslie McInnes. Win will
be deeply missed by her children, Patricia (Barry),
John, Kim (Constance) and Donald. Also missing
her will be her grandchildren Derek (Roseanne),
Kathryn (Kyle), Callum and Elizabeth (Lucy, mother
of Callum and Elizabeth), great-grandchildren
Skyler and Hudson, as well as nieces, nephews
and the many other relatives and friends whose life
Win has touched and made so much richer by
having her as part of their life.
Win lived a full life to 89 years of age during which
time she created an incredible family home,
entertained a great deal, always giving back to the
people and the communities in which she lived
with boundless generosity and kindness. Win was
an accomplished clothing designer, a master in
cross-stitchery, and enthusiastic traveler, travelling
with Dave, family and friends. One of Win’s favorite
places was cruising on the ocean and boating but
most importantly following her lifelong passion for
fishing with her life mate and best friend Dave,
friends and family.
Family and friends are gifts that we give ourselves
and there was no greater gift to all of our family
than Win. Win always said “It is better to wear away
than to rust away” and she lived her life to the
fullest following her values.
If friends so desire, in lieu of flowers, a donation
may be made in Win’s name to your favorite charity.
We would like to add a heartfelt thank you to the
staff at Mount St. Joseph’s Hospital and the North
Shore Hospice for their kindness and care.
