Edie Hildreth, cherished wife of David, passed away peacefully from cancer on Tuesday, March 8th at the Squamish Valley Hospice. Edie was born in Windsor, Ontario on April 5th, 1943 to Dorothy and Gordon Morris. She was the oldest sister to Patricia, John, and James.
David and Edie were high school sweethearts who shared sixty-two years of everlasting love. Together, the couple had four beautiful daughters, Christine (predeceased 1965), Susan (David), Laura, and Lisa (Christopher). Edie and David were so proud of their seven grandchildren: Nicholas (Sage), Melissa (Louis), Matthew (Chloe), Spencer, Maxwell (Anya), Lola, and Delilah. Edie and David were also blessed to have three great-grandchildren: Oskar, Jack, and Emmanuel.
Edie and David shared a passion for their family, faith, travel, and golf. "Live life to the fullest" is what the couple has instilled in their family, friends, and community. Many a party was had with the Hildreth's celebrating life. The family wish to thank the angels at The Squamish Valley Hospital and Hospice and the Lions Gate oncology department, who gave their love and care so freely to Edie.
"This is not the end, or even the beginning of the end. This is just the end of the beginning."
