Jenny Rhian Hilborn

Born on September 18, 1986, in Chorley, England, Jenny brought warmth, creativity, and joy into everywhere she entered. She is survived by her devoted and loving husband Josh, and was a deeply loving and proud Mummy to Lydia, Harry, and Myles, who were the heart of her world.

Jenny was the cherished daughter of Julie and Mick Woods, and Robert Anstruther and his wife Sue. She will be forever missed by her sisters Stephanie Sharp (Paul), Helen Dodd (Tony), and Josh’s sister Jenna Botz (Trevor), and by her stepbrother Jon Cleminson (Tasha). She was a beloved daughter-in-law to Dan and Sandy Hilborn, and a special aunt to Callum Booth (Jordan Monksfield), Lincoln Botz, Joseph Dodd, and Maisie Dodd and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins

To know Jenny was to love her. She was a guiding light, a dear friend, a mentor to many, and a bold visionary business owner. What started as a home staging business out of her garage became Centre Staged Designs Inc, a thriving, creative design firm that she poured her heart into every single day. Jenny had a gift for creating more than beautiful spaces—she created home. To her, design was not only about aesthetics, but about meaning, belonging, and love.

Jenny had an adventurous spirit and a deep love for the ocean. Her heart was most at peace near water—San Diego, Australia, England, Hawaii and Barbados held special places in her soul. Whether snorkeling, scuba diving, playing on the beach or simply feeling the sand between her toes, she found joy and serenity at the shore. She also loved travel, tennis, gardening, and the simple beauty of nature.

Her kindness, devotion, and unwavering love for her family will never be forgotten. Jenny’s legacy lives on in the hearts and homes she touched.

Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, June 9th at 10:00 am at St. George’s Anglican Church (99 Woolwich St. Guelph) with A Celebration of Jenny’s life to follow at Cutten Fields (190 College Ave. E. Guelph).

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honour her memory by cherishing time with loved ones and creating spaces filled with love and light—just as Jenny always did.
