It is with immense sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Brigid Bernadette Dilworth aged 60, who died in her home on August 3rd, 2018. Born to Michael and Marie Banahan in Banagher, Ireland. Brigid leaves behind her loving husband Peter, her three children Meagan, David, and James, and her granddaughter Claire and her soon to be grandson. Brigid had a zest for life that she brought to everything she did. She was beyond talented and brought class and grace to anything she tried. Her family and friends were her passion and delight. Brigid or “Nana” as she like to be called by her granddaughter was a remarkable wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and friend. Brigid was always bringing people together, she was a remarkable cook and host and had a way of taking care of others, especially her family whom she loved deeply and to whom she brought so much joy. Brigid and Peter met at Trinity College Dublin where they both graduated in Physiotherapy in 1979. They were the love of each others lives. They were married August 1980 in Athlone, Ireland. Shortly after they moved to Canada as a chance to explore somewhere new. After a year in Newfoundland they moved to Ontario and started their biggest adventures raising a family together. They settled down in Dundas and made strong roots together. There have been wonderful connections with friends, family and the community. Together Peter and Brigid shared a love of adventure and travel. They made perfect travel companions and checked many destinations off their bucket list in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Canada. They had thirty eight beautiful years of marriage that was full of love that cannot be described in words. Brigid had recently retired from a successful career first as a physiotherapist, and then as a care coordinator at the HNHB LHIN. She was excited to begin the next chapter of her life, including new adventures, travel, volunteering, cooking and most importantly the arrival of her second grandchild in September 2018. Brigid did not have long enough with us here but she lived life to the fullest everyday she did have. Brigid left an indelible mark on all those who knew her and her humour, warmth, and love will be deeply missed and will always be cherished. A celebration of Brigid’s life will take place Sunday August 12th, from 1 pm to 5 pm at Circle of Life Cremation and Burial Centre, 100 King St. E, Dundas ON, L9H 1C4 (905-628-8558) beginning with visitation from 1-2pm, followed by a Memorial Service at 2pm. (additional parking at The Air Force Club) In lieu of flowers, Brigid would be delighted if you made a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Brigid lived life to the fullest” http://www.heartandstroke.ca/
