Mona Monteith Miller

Mona Monteith Miller (née McIntyre)
(1931-2022)

Sadly, we announce the death of our mother, Mona Miller, on January 29th, in her 91st year. Fifty years ago, when we lost our father, Mom promised to do everything possible to stay in good health so that we would have at least one parent. She kept her promise, but it was time for us to let her go. After a fall on Wednesday that resulted in tremendous pain, she was mercifully gone by Saturday night.

Left to grieve in her absence are Jamie (Sharon), Linda, Jane (Scott), and grandchildren Ian (Courtney), Jade, Sarah, Kate and Sam, as well as 3 great-grandchildren, Colin, Liam, and Owen. She was predeceased by her first husband, Walter (1972), and then by her second husband, Jim (2008), as well as eight sisters. Also mourning, are her stepchildren, David (Anita), Brad (Bev), Sue (Rob), Melanie, and Lisa (Al).

Prior to moving to Whitby, Mom lived and worked in the town where she was born, Petrolia, Ontario. After moving to the GTA, she worked for many years in fundraising at both Sick Kids and Princess Margaret Hospitals.

We will always remember how special she made our Christmases and how she kept the cottage for us to enjoy all these years. And we will take to heart a message she left us, hoping that we would learn this great life lesson:

There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
(Leonard Cohen)

Bye, Mom
