Obituary of Evelyn Hillcoff

HILLCOFF, Evelyn - Passed away at home in Unionville on January 19, 2016 at the age of 87 following a lengthy battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis. Predeceased by her husband Les and sister Lillian. She will be deeply missed by her son Ken, daughter Pat (Dan), her grandchildren Karyn, Kevin (Kelli), Jamie (Jen) and Marshall, and her great-grandchildren Abby and Brooke. She is survived by her brother Clay (Maria Liisa), also by many nieces, nephews and friends near and far. In addition to being the family anchor, Evelyn was an accomplished business woman, owning and operating her own insurance brokerage for over 30 years. Her clients appreciated the care and personal attention she always gave to the work she loved. Evelyn's strength and grace in the face of her medical struggles provided a wonderful example to her family. Special thanks to all the care workers, palliative team nurses and Dr. Jeff Weissberger. Without their support the family would not have been able to accomplish our goal of having mom remain in her home until the end. Out of respect for Evelyn's final wishes a private memorial will be held for immediate family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (cpff.ca) would be a wonderful tribute. Online condolences may be made at www.dixongarland.com.
