Obituary of Ila Pearl Sandwell

Ila Pearl Sandwell (nee Campbell)

Dec. 9, 1932 – Mar.1, 2020.

Immersed in the cherished memories of her zest for living and kind generosity, we are saddened to announce the peaceful death of Ila Pearl Sandwell.

Daughter of the late Peter & Pearl Campbell. Loving wife to our late Dad, Gordon Sandwell. Sister of the late William Campbell.

Amazing Mother to Kath, Greg & Shelley, Doug & Andrea.

Devoted Grandmother to Meagan (Jeremy), Kyle (Maddy), Alison, Julianne (Curtis), Sydnie (Brandon), Marc (Fiona), Tyler, Peter, Kate, Paige, Kaitlyn, and Ryan.

“GG” to Nolan, Logan, Jake & Shea, and Owen.

Ila’s favourite times were spent with extended families and loyal friends in her many communities that she embraced and nurtured wholeheartedly. Whether at the Cottage, Hillcrest Village, Florida, or Walden Pond, she and Dad made it ‘Home’. Her warm hospitality, keen sense of humour, her love for lakes and the outdoors, for music, and for lifelong learning, enhanced by her incredible resiliency over the years, will live on forever within all of us.

***Due to COVID-19, Ila's Celebration of Life will be postponed indefinitely until further notice
