GREENWOOD, Vera Edith Leona (nee Grightmire)

GREENWOOD, Vera Edith Leona (nee Grightmire) Passed away peacefully in her 95th year at the St. Joseph’s Villa, Dundas. Her sons William “Bill”, John “Shin”, and Mark “Mickey Mouse” or “Caboose”, and their families were at her side.

Born, raised, and married Catholic at the St. Augustine’s Church in Dundas, Edith wore her Dundas crest always proudly on her sleeve. Edith, besides raising three boys and many of their friends, was able to take on a service of participation in politics for over 30 years. Her husband of 59 years, Walter, passed away in 2000. Besides her three sons and their spouses, Mary, Bonnie, and Beverly, she leaves many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren!

Very special thanks to Mabel Hoyes and Mary Thurston for their support and love over the years. As well, thanks to the LIHN’s and Bayshore for their compassion and support. The family extends their thanks to the staff at the Villa, and especially on Willow Grove. Their kindness and caring shone brightly! They brought great comfort and dignity as they cared for both Edith and the family at this difficult time.
