Grace Elnora Elizabeth North is our precious, beloved mother who passed away on September 19, 2014. She will forever be missed by her children Dianne, Robert, Bonnie, Sheila and Barbara, and by her nine grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. This loving mother was predeceased by her beloved husband, Robert Leo North (1995) and cherished children, Douglas (1954) and Kathy (1964).

Grace Sharpe married Robert North in Brantford in 1950. As this young couple went out into the world, they were gifted with many joys and also endured some painful hardships as well. Their love and dedication to each other and to family lasted all of their lives and took the family around the world together, with Lt. Colonel Robert North’s career in the Canadian Air Force. Their beloved children were born in provinces across Canada, the Yukon, and Germany. Robert and Grace were united in family, in laughter and so much love.

All who knew Grace commented on her beautiful smile and also on her loving ways and inspiring resilience, determination, and strength. She gave her life to her children, who she was ever supportive of and committed to. She and her husband gave their children their all. Together they provided an unforgettable home life where all wants and needs were taken care of and where a warm and loving home, birthday cakes, hugs, bright Christmas trees, favourite homemade cookies, books, fun and love were ever-present 24/7 throughout their children’s lives.

Grace inspired others with her commitment to family, love and respect for animals, and her love of singing and gardening and laughter. Thank you, Mom. Words will never ever express how much we miss you and how we thank you for all of the golden memories you and Dad gave us. The love that you so freely bestowed on us will be with us to the very end.

A Memorial Service will be held in Victoria, BC on Wednesday October 8th, 2:00pm at Luther Court Community of Care, 1525 Cedar Hill X.
