Beryl GILL Obituary

BERYL GILL (née Rawlings) Peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by family on February 5, 2020 at the age of 86. Predeceased by her beloved husband, Dennis Gill. Loving sister of Janice (Jim) and cherished mother of Susan (Craig), David (Liz), Lesley, Julian (Diane), Neil (Elisa) and Simon (Maggie). Adored 'Nan' to Matthew, Bryan, Mark, Melaina and Hailey and great grandmother to Brinley and Isla. Beryl was born and raised in Barking, England. She married the love of her life, Dennis, in the summer of 1951 at the age of 18 and started a family soon thereafter. Beryl, Dennis and their first 5 children moved to Canada in 1963 where they welcomed their 6th child and settled for the remainder of their lives. Beryl loved her family above all else and dedicated much of her life to them. She was an enormously kind and generous person with a fabulous sense of humour and a loving and accepting nature. Her home was open to all, without question or judgment and she only ever looked for the positive in every person and situation. She will forever be in our hearts. There will be a Celebration of Life reception at Etobicoke Yacht Club, 300 Humber Bay Road West, Etobicoke, Sunday, February 23rd from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sadly, it is not wheelchair accessible (2nd floor, no elevator).

I was trying so hard to get in touch with Beryl since the passing of Denis,but without luck. even is too late I want to say that Beryl and Denis were more than friends ,they were a example of everything particularly to my son jose Daniel who adore them and call them Grandparents . The lessons I learn from them were never forgotten and will always be in my heart .Their teaching in a personal and professional life will always be honor and keep it in my heart

I knew Beryl Gill as a teenager. Mrs. Gill, was the mother of my best friend Susan. During my numerous visits to the Gill home, I was always struck by the happy current and active buzz of a large, busy family, complete with dog and cat, a warm environment established by a clearly content and loving Mrs. Gill. I remember "Mrs. Gill" as warm, friendly, inclusive and accessible. I am so sorry for your great loss. My deepest sympathies to the family.
