Marie Ann GILLIES

GILLIES, Marie Ann Of Ottawa, quietly slipped away on Friday, March 13th, 2009 at the age of 84. It is with the very deepest sadness we say goodbye to our sweet Marie. Predeceased by her loving husband Sandy. She was a wonderful mother to Peter and Linda and cherished Granny to Alexa. Dearest sister, aunt and friend to so many. Proud and brave she faced her illness as she lived every day of her life - with grace, elegance and humility. We miss her so much it hurts, but so much greater is the joy that someone who gave so much is finally free. Friends may visit at the West Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 150 Woodroffe Avenue, Ottawa on Saturday, March 21st, 2009 from 1:00 p.m. until time of service in the Chapel at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
