Sands, Evelyn Annie (nee Hill) We have said our final goodbyes to a lovely lady. Evelyn passed away peacefully at the Perth GWM Hospital on Friday, April 3rd, 2015 after a brief decline in health. During her 92+ years she was a daughter to Vic & Louie Hill of Peterborough, a loving wife and companion for 71 years to her husband Jim, a cherished mother to Roger (Lianne) and the late Don (Heather) of London ON, a much-loved Nana to Rayna (Trevor) Noble and Joel (Sonia) Sands of London ON and a Great-Nana to Samuel, Logan, Avery and Liam. Since moving to their home in "The Pines” from Toronto in 1998, she formed many strong friendships with neighbours as well as parishioners of St. James Anglican Church where she participated in many pastoral and outreach activities. She was always able to talk to people and to get them to open up about their troubles and concerns. Even well into her 90’s she loved to "visit the old people”, despite the fact that most were younger than her. Many thanks to the Perth GWM 2nd floor nursing staff and students who were so kind and caring for Mum in her final days. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Friday, April 10th, 2015 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Funeral service will be held in St. James Anglican Church, Perth on Saturday at 10:30 A.M. In remembrance, contributions may be made to St. James Anglican Church or the Canadian Cancer Society.
