It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Greta Gilpin, on Tuesday June 19, 2018, at the age of 87 from her long battle with COPD. She will be remembered for her strength, beauty and style as well as the kindness that she offered to those she cared for.
Born October 15, 1930 in Quebec City, and daughter to Kenneth Roy Gilpin and Marie-Jeanne Antonia Gilpin (née Marois). Survived by her brother Larry Gilpin (Shirley Gilpin).
Cherished mother of Andrea Gilpin (Gregg Nyhus) and of the late Sandra Lynn Traversy. Devoted grandmother of Eric, Lexi and Megan, who meant the world to Greta. She will also be deeply missed by her companion David Turnbull, along with many other family and friends.
At Greta’s request, cremation has taken place. The family will receive condolences on Wednesday June 27, from 2:30 to 3:30 pm at the Collins Clarke MacGillivray White Funeral Home (222 Autoroute 20, Pointe-Claire QC, H9S-3X6), followed by a Memorial Service at 3:30pm and a reception at 4:30pm at the funeral home. Burial will occur at the family plot in Québec City, at a later date.
