1951 – 2018
Born March 14, 1951 in Georgetown, Newfoundland. Passed away peacefully at her home in Ottawa, Ontario on August 19, 2018, after a long illness that she fought with all her graceful, dignified, and stubborn might. Mildred was a loving and selfless mother, giving her best to her children: Jason Brothers (deceased 1993) and Stephanie (Kirk Pashak). She was an extremely proud and silly Nana to her granddaughters Erika and Charlotte, who still brought a twinkle to her eye in her last days. Mildred cherished the special time with beloved fiancé Rod Paterson, with whom she shared many happy adventures. She deeply valued her friendships, including life-long friends Anne Williams (Randy) of St. John’s, NL and Betty Morey (Clyde) of Carbonear, NL. Immense gratitude for all the wonderful care received, particularly the moral and medical support of Dr. Heidi Chestnut and Dr. Shailendra Verma (retired). Mildred was an exceptionally generous person, always giving to others in very quiet ways. Her kindness will live on through the many people she touched with her thoughtful acts. If you so wish, any donations should be sent to either the Shriners Hospitals for Children or The Snowsuit Fund in her name. A gathering to celebrate Mildred’s life will take place for family and friends in the coming weeks. Condolences, memories or donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.
