MATHESON,
Wilhillmine
Nevett
Born in Glasgow at 6 am April 2, 1914 died at 7 pm on Monday
February 7, 2005. She was the last surviving child of Charles
Joseph Keith
MATHESON and Isa Keith
ROSS and at the age of 90
lived the longest of her four brothers; Charles, John, William
and Norman and her two sisters Gladys
SCLATER and Phyllis
MEREDITH.
They are survived by Bud
MEREDITH,
Mary
MATHESON and Lucienne
MATHESON, the spouses of Phyllis, Billy, and Norm.
Her nieces, Joan
GUTZEIT, Marsha
GREENBAUM, Barbara
WARREN, Pamela
HARRISON, Lynda
FEENAN, Nikki
MATHESON, and Janice
MATHESON and
nephews Robbie
MEREDITH,
Ian
MATHESON and Bryan
MATHESON all
have fond memories of her visits. Whether dancing, singing or
telling stories, our Auntie Winnie always made each of us feel
unique in this world. We will all miss that special quality.
Sadly she lost three young people she was especially close to
Lynda's husband Mike
OSTROWSKI who died at 44, her nephew Scot
MATHESON,
Billy's son who died at 38 and nephew Donald
MATHESON,
Charlie's son who died at 28.
Her oldest brother Charlie (age 19) arrived in Toronto, Canada
in the fall of 1928 and was followed by their parents and Gladys
(17), John (16), Winnie (14), Phyllis (11), Billy (8) and Norm
(6). Winnie started working shortly after she arrived and a year
later was employed by General Electric Canada where she worked
for 50 years. Quite an achievement, fifty years with one company!
She was well liked there and respected for the good job she did
in the accounting department. They didn't want her to leave and
she agreed to stay for a few months after her 65th birthday.
In her retirement years she enjoyed living in Dunedin, Florida
in the winter months and
in Toronto at 33 Rosehill Ave. for the
remainder of the year. When her health failed she moved to the
Laughlin Centre which she enjoyed. With a twinkle in her eye,
she remarked that they kept her so busy she might as well be
working. She loved the people, companionship, the games and the
outings. Later she moved to Belmont House. Her nieces Janice
and Marsha who spent time with her during her last two days were
impressed by how well she was liked and cared for there during
her final days.
A private burial will be held. At a later date this spring, the
family has planned a reception to celebrate the lives of Winnie
and her brothers and sisters. In lieu of flowers the family asks
that donations be sent to the Alzheimer's Association.
