Patricia McMillan Obituary

McMILLAN, Patricia Anne September 21, 1947 to March 22, 2020 Patricia McMillan was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, friend and teacher. Patricia grew up in Richmond, British Columbia, and graduated from high school at the Convent of the Sacred Heart. She was a teacher librarian and dedicated her career to instilling her love of books and reading in her students. Patricia loved to paint, to travel, and to play bridge with friends. One of her favourite places was the family cabin on Mayne Island, where she was able to visit shortly before she died. Ten years ago, she moved to Sidney with her beloved dog Amos, to live near her brother and sister, Ron and Carole. She often took the ferry to the mainland to be with her daughters, Anne Christine and Trine, her sons-in-law and her four grandchildren. Always gentle, Patricia leaves a very large hole in our hearts and we will miss her deeply. A funeral will take place when we are able to gather again. Please do not send flowers but instead appreciate them and her memory in nature.

To Pat's Family, I was so saddened to hear of Pat's passing and I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you all. It is hard to lose someone so special and close to you. Every time I am in Sidney, I think of Pat because I knew she had moved there with Amos. I worked with Pat at Simon Cunningham from about 1995 until the time she retired. I have such great memories of Pat. As a new teacher, I really looked up to her. She was confident and capable but so kind and helpful when I felt like I really didn't know what I was doing. Pat had a great sense of humour too and I always admired her for speaking her mind. I remember Pat's retirement goodbye assembly at Simon Cunningham. She told all the kids who had not returned their books that year to keep them but make sure they read them! The kids loved her! We sure missed Pat when she retired from our school and there are a lot of teachers still working who are thinking about her now. I hope sharing memories of Pat brings you some comfort as you are missing her presence. With love, Beth Bhimji

Hello to the family of Pat, we were so sorry to hear of her passing, in what seemed like a very short time. We are her neighbors in the cul de sac, and although we did not socialize a lot, she always came to our cul de sac barbecue and of course, all of us knew Amos!
If there is anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask, come knock on our door, 10401 or call.
