Patricia FINLAY Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald from Nov. 26 to Nov. 27, 2012.
FINLAY, Patricia June
October 10, 1943 - November 23, 2012
Patricia June Finlay, of Calgary, passed away on Friday, November 23, 2012 at Agape Hospice. She was 69 years old. Pat lived out her final few months with the same strength of spirit, courage and dignity that characterized the rest of her life and was, in her final days, at all times in the presence of those who loved her. She was predeceased by her father, Gerald Stilwell, and will be deeply missed by her surviving family: her husband Don; her mother June Stilwell; her children Rob (Sharon) Finlay and Kate (Scott) Bryan; brother Bill Stilwell; and an extended family including grandchildren Miya, Natasha and Emily, nieces and cousins who loved her dearly. Over the course of her life, Pat's kindness and great capacity for love had attracted to her an amazing network of close friends whom she very much treasured, and who were so instrumental in making her passing a gentle one. A Celebration of Pat's Life will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY'S Park Memorial Chapel (5008 Elbow Drive S.W. Calgary, AB) today, November 27, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Salvation Army Agapé Hospice, 1302 - 8 Avenue N.W., Calgary, AB T2N 1B8 Telephone: (403) 282-6588. In living memory of Pat Finlay, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Don and family,

We are so sorry to hear of Pat's passing, she was a wonderful woman. The last time I saw her was in July and she was so vibrant and was full of praise for her grandchildren. Our thoughts are with you.
