AILEEN ROY Obituary

Published by Windsor Star on Mar. 29, 2014.
ROY, Aileen Elizabeth
(Filteau)
A tall beautiful lady has left the room. Born March 6, 1923 she leaves behind a loving family and many special friends from her worldly life. Predeceased by her husband of 59 years Joseph Lionel Roy (2005). Daughter of Verna Hanna Filteau (nee Hamly) and Frederick Frances Filteau. Sister of John Frederick Filteau (1945). Survived by her children John Filteau Roy and fiancé Pikun of Toronto, Peter Lionel Roy and wife Dr. Catherine Eplett of Toronto, Jennifer Elizabeth Smith and husband Dr. Tom Smith of Windsor and Diane Louise Roy of British Columbia. Grandmother of Thomas Lionel Smith and Emily Elizabeth Smith. Aunt of Chery Leigh Suel of Calgary, Alberta. We are grateful for the many years of outstanding care given to our mother by the staff of Banwell Gardens, Seasons Lakeshore, Dr. Ian McLeod, Dr. John Greenaway and Bayshore Health Services for the private care given by Anita. Our "village" of caregivers supported us during this difficult time. Aileen received the best of care and was always treated with respect and dignity. Truly all that anyone could wish for. We are grateful to the support of special friends Beverly and Frederick Knight, and Jean Aceti of Sudbury who visited Aileen often. Final private arrangements are entrusted to
Victoria Greenlawn Funeral Home,
Windsor, Ontario
(519-969-3939)
Aileen will rest in Burnsland Cemetery, Calgary, Alberta where she will be together again with her family and her late husband Lionel. Aileen lived her life large and never cut corners. Her energy and boundless generosity made so many people's lives that much better and that much more enriched. We will miss her and remember her with deep love and happy reflections on all our time together. In memory of Aileen, if you choose to make an acknowledgement, a gift to the Parkinson Foundation would be welcome. Please no flowers. Many thanks.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear mother, Aileen. I wish the family peace and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Growing up in Copper Cliff meant you'd be the lucky recipient of Mrs. Roy's generous hospitality. She was especially kind to me when I was very young and my father was ill and hospitalized. Many fond memories of Mrs. Roy driving us everywhere and especially her wonderful welcome to all on many Christmas eves. Thanks for the memories. Lynn (O'Connor) O'Brien, Vancouver BC

My sincere sympathy to the Roy family. I used to babysit for Aileen & Lionel. I still remember the beautiful portrait of her that hung in the livingroom. I was so impressed. Just before she moved from Copper Cliff, I went to her yard sale and bought Diane's CD. It's wonderful and I still play it. Brings back memories.
