Death Notice of Lourdes (Spiesz) McGirr
1910 - 2007
It is with profound sadness that our family announces that our beloved mother, cherished grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister and sister-in-law left this earth on Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 at Rockwood Terrace, Durham, after a long life filled with great pleasure to begin a new journey.
Her wonderfully kind, supportive and generous nature will be a void in all our lives but her spirit has touched us and is the light that will eventually reunite us.
Deeply and lovingly missed by her children John Henry, Durene (Paul Butchart), Berkeley and David. Predeceased by her husbands Jack Spiesz and William McGirr. Cherished grandma of Andrew, Shandell, Kara Sue, Randy, Jack, Christopher, Kevin and Terri. Nana Lou to Babette, Ann and Carl.
Remembered by great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
Survived by caring sisters Leona Glenholme and Iva Sharpe and sisters-in-law Margaret Sibbald and Jennie McGirr.
She was the daughter of the late John and Winnifred (Fagan) Sibbald. Predeceased by brothers Gerald and Oliver, sisters Frances, Margaret, Rene, Rose, step-daughter Jean Gaviller and stepson William Junior. Held dear in the hearts of nieces, nephews, cousins and loyal friends.
Sincere appreciation to entire staff at Rockwood Terrace for exemplary care and kindness to mother and family members. Lourdes was a member of Knox United Church and the Lady Grey Rebekah Lodge. Thanks to the Durham Baptist Church for their support.
