It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, sister-in-law, aunt and great-aunt, Frances (Johnston) Hillier, age 89, who passed away peacefully on Monday, June 20, 2016, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
Born in North Sydney on July 6, 1926, she was the daughter of the late James and Carrie (Newman) Johnston.
Frances had a wonderful long life with great friends and family. She was a very kind, compassionate lady who was always there to listen. She really enjoyed even the simple things in life. One of her favourites was making a pot of tea so you could have a cup with her and talk about your day.
Left to mourn her loss are her brothers, Nelson (Celesta) Johnston, Walter (June) Johnston and sister-in-law, Yvonne Johnston. She also leaves behind numerous wonderful nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews who loved her dearly.
She was predeceased by her wonderful husband, George Hillier; her brothers, William, Ronald, Percy and sisters, Marie Steele (Johnny), Queenie Crosby (Ron) and an infant sister, Genevieve.
Frances has requested a private family visitation and funeral service that will be held at a later date. Burial will take place in Lakeside Cemetery, North Sydney.
Memorial donations may be made to palliative care or a charity of choice.
Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of the W.J. Dooley Funeral Home 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney.
