Obituary of Lillian Kathleen Maw

Peacefully, at The Donway Place, Don Mills, on Thursday, November 24, 2016, in her 102nd year. Lillian was the loving wife of Frank Johnston Maw for 59 years. Lillian is survived by her children Frank A. Maw (partner Betsy), Diane Turpin (husband Jack) and her granddaughters Christine Maw (husband Sandy Stephens) and Laurie Maw (partner Bruce Huggins), Colleen Miller (husband Brad Miller), Joanne Sharples (husband Chris Sharples) and her great-grandchildren Chloe, Will, Jeremy; Weston, Louis; Samuel, Angus, Tyler; and Luke. Lillian was born and raised in Keswick, Ontario. After attending Newmarket High School, Lillian owned and operated a beauty salon in Toronto during the 1940’s. Frank and Lillian raised their family and were fully engaged in the community of Thornhill and then delighted in 30 years of retirement, traveling, wintering in Florida and enjoying time with family and friends at their Muskoka cottage. In recent years, Lillian and her close and devoted companion Norman Smith, spent many happy hours together engaged in activities at The Donway Place. There will be a reception for family and close friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME – A.W. MILES NEWBIGGING CHAPEL. Donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (P.O. Box 7008, Station Main, London, ON, N5Y 5W7), would be warmly appreciated. Condolences and memories may be forwarded through www.humphreymilesnewbigging.com.
