Davina Watson Obituary
Davina Mackenzie Watson, born on May 11, 1933 in Glasgow, Scotland, passed away peacefully at home in Richmond, BC, on June 26, 2021.
Davina was predeceased by her parents, James Watson and Margaret Mackenzie; siblings, Mary, James, Margaret, Nettie, and Jessie; nephews, George, David, and Brian; and most recently her long-time friend and companion, Jean Wilson.
She is lovingly remembered by her niece, Linda (Owen) Anderson; and her family, Melinda (Kelly) Grass, Guy (Connie) Anderson, Robin (Aaron) Andersen, Katie (Parker) Schmidt, and all their families. She was very proud that she had reached the status of a great-great-great aunt. Davina is also survived by several nieces and nephews in Scotland.
Davina emigrated from Scotland in 1965, arriving in Edmonton in the cold of November. After a vacation to Vancouver one summer, she and Jean decided that this was the place to be and pulled up roots to live for several years in Vancouver and then in Richmond. She worked for many years as the secretary to the Aldermen at Vancouver City Hall before retiring.
Davina was a kind, gentle soul who had a great love of music, singing, Scottish country dancing, travelling, and relaxing on cruises. A trip to Hawaii and a couple of cruises each year became the norm for Davina and Jean. She loved to spend time with her clan in Richmond and delighted with every family celebration. She had a strong Christian faith and was a member of Richmond Presbyterian Church where she enjoyed singing alto in the choir for years.
Her smiling, happy face will be greatly missed and remembered by all who knew her.
A funeral will be at Richmond Presbyterian Church at a later date.
