Minda Williams - It is with very great sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Minda Williams on March 9, 2010, at age 95. Beloved wife of the late Bill Williams. Loving mother of Bob and his wife Nola (Waterloo), Bill and his wife Luscia (California), Gwyneth and her husband Gene Gallant (Aurora) and Bruce (British Columbia.). Minda was a caring and much-loved grandmother to Renee Gallant and her husband Patrick Desbarats, John Gallant and his fiance Lucy Abate, Andrea Williams and Ewan Williams and great-grandmother to Carter and Maryn Desbarats. She is predeceased by brothers David and Grant Aikin, and is survived by her brother Harry Loop and his wife Pat (Ottawa).
Minda was born in Wheatley, Ontario in 1914. She graduated as an RN from Grace Hospital, Windsor, Ontario, in 1936. In the early 1940s Bill and Minda owned and operated the Minda Lee Pastry Shop in Windsor and the Dingley Dell in Roseland. In the 1960s they bought and operated the Scanlon Bakery on Yonge Street in Aurora, which later became Granny's Tarts. Minda was a talented and artistic woman. Each of our lives has been touched by her creativity. We were all blessed to have her in our lives for so many years.
Honouring Minda's request, cremation has taken place. A celebration of her life will be held in Aurora at a later date. In memory of Minda, donations may be made to Southlake Regional Health Care Centre, Newmarket, Ontario. Interment will be at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, Windsor, Ontario. Arrangements entrusted to Thompson Funeral Home, Aurora.
