In memory of

Mildred Hood

August 1, 1925 -  April 3, 2021

It is with great sadness, that we the family, announce the passing of our dear Mum, Mildred (nee Rule) in her 96th year on Saturday, April 3rd 2021 in Oakville, Ontario. Forever held in the hearts of her late loving husband James (Jimmy), daughters Shirley (Peter Kubela) and Linda (Ross Sanders) and their families. She was a very proud Grandma and Great-Grandma (GG) to her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren who adored her. Mildred also leaves behind her dear sister Margot and her family of Toronto and her late brother Robert’s family in England.

Born in Perth, Scotland, Mildred immigrated to Canada in 1949 with her sister Margot. Mildred met Jimmy and they were married in 1950 and lived in Scarborough, where they welcomed and raised their 2 daughters. They also became founding members of Clairlea Park Presbyterian Church and with her love of music and beautiful voice, Mildred sang in the choir. Together they enjoyed travelling and time spent at their summer lake home in Keswick, entertaining family and friends until the passing of Jimmy in 1992. After 67 years in her Scarborough home, she relocated to The Kensington Senior Living in Oakville where she enjoyed the many social times and musical events.

The family is grateful to all the wonderful doctors, nurses and the Kensington Staff for their kindness and compassion during Mum's care over the years. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private family interment will take place. If you wish to honor Mildred in a very special way, please consider a donation to Clairlea Park Presbyterian Church, Oakville Trafalgar Hospital or a Charity of your choice.

Mildred had one of the most kindest, loving nature a person could have. I know how close she was to the entire family and that she will be missed dearly. I know your mom is watching over all of you and protecting you. Your moms spirit will continue to guide you just as she did when she was here. Please accept my condolences for your loss. With love Karen xo

I have such great memories of 'Aunt' Mildred as we called her, from greeting us the first day we arrived in Canada in 1967 to great summer visits in Keswick with the girls. Her mother and my grandmother were close friends in Scotland, and she was truly an Aunt to me and my family. Rest in peace - a life well lived.

My dad always spoke so highly of Aunt Mildred and had such fond memories. She's well remembered and loved.

We are with you in thoughts & prayers. Always planned to get to Canada to see you all but sadly missed seeing Mildred, perhaps our children or grandchildren will be able to meet with you at some time.

I am so sorry to hear of Mildred's passing. She was always very good to me and I remember our time chatting at the cottage with fondness. My heart goes out to you and your families. Thinking of you at this sad time and sending much love.
