Ina Sokol

(nee Hillis)

December 23, 1918 – April 13, 2013

After a long and healthy well lived life, our amazing mother passed away peacefully at Southlake Regional Health Centre on April 13, 2013 surrounded by her family.

Beloved wife of the late Ernie Sokol (1999). She will be greatly missed by her children Sharon (Gerry Downer), Valerie (John Pearson), Sandy (Bill Lunney), Janice Franks and Scott. Cherished Gramma of 14 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

Her active life included not only raising 5 children and also being a wonderful cook, she was an avid curler at the York Curling Club, bridge player, master gardener, lawn bowler and took up golf in her later years when living in Florida. She was probably the Blue Jays #1 fan, never missing a chance to watch them.

She also took a very active part in all of her grand children’s and great grandchildren’s lives watching curling, baseball, hockey, golf and hopefully passed along some of her wisdom, strength, gentleness and fair play.

The family wants to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to Joyce Boudreau, her care giver for the past two years. Her endless devotion to mother was truly exceptional. You are our angel – Thank you.

We would also like to extend our appreciation to the nursing staff and Doctors at Southlake Hospital.

A private ceremony will take place on April 27, 2013.

The family would appreciate those wishing to remember Ina consider directing their donations to CHATS or Southlake Hospital.
