Gladys Wilma "Willie" Fairbrother

August 23,1930 - October 8, 2024

Mom passed away peacefully in her home with her daughters Lynn, Brenda, son in law Kevin and wonderful psw Julie by her side.

Predeceased by her husband Tom (2006), she is survived by her children Wayne (Anna) Fairbrother, Brenda (Kevin) Calhoun, Brian (Glenda) Fairbrother, Lynn (Bruce) Pearson and grandchildren Katie (Matt), Jim (Hilary), Lyndsey (Gregg), Jeremy, Michelle (Ben), Chantal, John, Heather, and Emma. G.G to great grandchildren Emerson, Elliot, Dylan and June. Sadly missed by her brother Eric Taylor (Dorothy) of Abbotsford and her many beloved nieces and nephews.

Mom was a 1951 nursing graduate of Oshawa General Hospital and practiced nursing there, Bloorview Children’s Centre, and Shouldice Hospital. She loved to travel, bowl and watch her favourite Toronto Blue Jays. She took delight in watching the real jays, cardinals and hummingbirds in the backyard of her home she shared with Brenda and Kevin since 2020. Some of her happiest times were at her cottage on South Lake in Minden and the Pearson cottage on Horn Lake in Burk’s Falls.

Mom will be remembered for her incredibly generous nature, wonderful smile, sense of humour and her gentle ways. She will be missed beyond words but we take comfort in the knowledge that she had an amazing 94 years of life and she was so deeply loved.

Visitation will be held at the Oshawa Funeral Home, 847 King Street West (905-721-1234) on Saturday October 19 from 12:30 pm until time of Celebration of Life in the chapel at 1:30 pm.

Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
