in si de ha lto n. co m O ak vi lle B ea ve r | T hu rs da y, O ct ob er 8, 20 20 | 26 HILTZ, Kelsey Laura ___________ With broken hearts we announce the passing of our daughter, Kelsey. She left us peacefully in her sleep, at home surrounded by her family on September 30, 2020. Survived by her mum Christine Hiltz (Morrow), dad Carl Hiltz and her younger siblings, sister Sydney and brother Scott. She will be sorely missed by her Gramma Hiltz, aunts, uncles and cousins. Gramma, Aunt Connie and her two Grandpas will be happy to greet Kelsey in Heaven, and she will be thrilled to see them. Although she was 31 years old, we thought we would get more time with her. She had a smile for absolutely everyone, especially babies, dogs and young men. She would greet anyone she met with glowing eyes and the offer of a warm hug. And of course, she had that laugh. She is no longer encumbered by her physical and mental disabilities and can now talk forever! Make no mistake; she was our everything and our home is filled with an indescribable emptiness now. The time we had with Kelsey was precious. We have had very caring support workers, PSW's and doctors to provide a wonderful quality of life for her. Kelsey loved her peers and the staff at her day programmes. She looked forward to the social activities, but the highlight was always the music. Her Christmas concert performances ringing bells were outstanding. Kelsey was extremely close to her sister Sydney and brother Scott who could always be counted on to provide much entertainment and silliness. Their lives have been forever enriched having her as a big sister. Kelsey taught us to enjoy the little things in life. Whether it was going to the mall, splashing in the pool or just going on errands, she did it with a smile. From her, we also learned sometimes you just need to dance like nobody is watching. Kelsey has left behind a legacy of friends and family that have discovered a new understanding for people with special needs. Despite being gone, her impact on those that have met her will be everlasting. Kelsey is now free of her challenges, able to dance and sing in Heaven. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Camelot Centre in memory of Kelsey at www.camelot centre.com. A private family gathering will be held at a later date. We hope to have a celebration of her life sometime in May 2021 around her birthday. www.smithsfh.com 50 Golden Years!

BOURKE, Georgina Mathilda (nee Amlin) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With heavy hearts, the family of Georgina Mathilda Bourke (nee Amlin) announces that she passed away on September 21, 2020, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital after a brief illness. Georgina was born in Windsor, Ontario to Melvin and Marie Amlin, and was raised on the family farm in nearby Amherstburg, Ontario. She remained connected to the farm and her large network of neighbours, friends and extended family in the Windsor area throughout her life. After graduating from secondary school, Georgina joined the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary and taught at St. Mary's Academy in Windsor. However, life had other plans for her and she left the convent to work as a teacher and special educator and graduated from the University of Windsor with a BA in 1970. Georgina met Terry Bourke in Windsor and they were married in Amherstburg, with a reception on the farm on August 4, 1973 - a sun-drenched day spent surrounded by rows of corn nearly ready for harvest. Georgina and Terry settled in Oakville, where their son Patrick was born in 1977. They enjoyed visits with Georgina's family in Amherstburg and Terry's family in Toronto, travelling in Ontario and abroad and following and discussing the world's events and history. After raising Patrick and caring for Terry during a long disability, and guided by her deep faith, Georgina embarked on a career as a volunteer and community leader. Georgina served terms as President of the St. Dominic Parish Catholic Women's League and as President of the Hamilton Diocese CWL. She was made a CWL Life Member and travelled across the country to participate in provincial and national conferences of the organization. She was a longtime volunteer with Sharing Fair, a program of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd to provide a market in Canada for handmade goods created by women in developing countries. Georgina also volunteered with Wellspring, a resource centre for cancer patients and their families. Georgina was prolifically charitable, supporting a long list of causes each year with donations and advocacy. Recently, she joined with others at St. Dominic to sponsor Syrian refugees to immigrate to Canada and support them as they became established. Georgina's story is one of service to her family, friends, community and God. She is predeceased by her husband Terry, sister Bernice, brothers-in-law Jon and Don, and sisters-in-law Tanya and Helen. She is survived by her son Patrick (Jill), sister Rose, brothers-in-law Jim and Mark, nephews Chris, Kevin and Sean and niece Tracy. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at OTMH who cared for her during two hospitalizations in the past year. Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 15th by appointment only at Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore Rd W, Oakville, (905)-844- 2600. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, please go to koprivataylor.com to book an appointment for the visitation. The funeral will be held at 11 am on Friday, October 16th at St. Dominic Parish, 2415 Rebecca St, Oakville.
