<div itemprop="description">Daphne Evelyn Wood (born Mathews) died surrounded by loved ones on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016, in Grimsby, Ont. <br /> <br />Always an adventurer, Daphne left her English village of Stratford St. Mary, Suffolk shortly after the Second World War and sailed to a new country on the RMS Mauretania. She had a return ticket just in case. <br /> <br />Daphne came to Canada to be with the love of her life, Tom Wood, whom she married in 1947. She died wearing his wedding band alongside hers. <br /> <br />The Woods built a house in Mount Dennis and raised two daughters, Lesley and Denise. They spent many joy-filled summer weekends at the cottage on Eagle Lake, near South River, Ont. <br /> <br />Daphne had no trouble making friends, but there was always a special place for Noreen, who was the first person to talk to her when she went to work at Continental Can. <br /> <br />Daphne was a loving grandmother to Dana, Kate, Josh, Lynn, Sarah and Tim. She was also overjoyed to welcome seven great great-grand-children over the final few years of her life: Lincoln, Griffin, Owen, Hannah, Beatrice, Cole and Elliott. <br /> <br />In her spare time, Daphne liked to keep in touch with her relatives in England, play bingo or cards, watch the Y&amp;R and knit sweaters for her great-grand-children and hats for newborns. <br /> <br />A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, Feb. 12. <br /> <br />In lieu of flowers, her daughters have asked for donations to support a charity of your choice.</div>
