    Melissa Ann Woodward (nee Hill)

    January 15, 1968 - January 29, 2021

    It is with broken hearts that we sadly announce the passing of our treasured Melissa Ann Woodward (nee Hill). She left this world on Friday, January 29th after an epic battle with pancreatic cancer at age 53. Treasured wife and best friend of Rich; endlessly loving mother and best friend to Keith and angel son Cameron; and beloved daughter to Bert and Sharon Hill. She will be lovingly remembered by brother Scott (Lori-Anne), sister Terry-Lynn (Marek Soltys), sister-in-law Gillian (Eric Schwarz), and brother-in-law Russell (Vanessa). Amazing auntie to Emily, Megan, Aiden, Meadow and Maple. Beloved first grandchild of Murray and Marie McDonough, predeceased, of Westover. Also predeceased by Aunt Colleen Sutton and Uncle Ron Wilson. Loved by extended McDonough family of aunts and uncles including Linda Wilson, Dave Sutton, Tom and Linda McDonough, cousins Craig Wilson, Caryn Walkling, Vicki Marshall, Wendi Marshall, Eric Sutton, Roscoe McDonough, Derek McDonough and their partners and children. Missed by Grandmother Mae Slack, uncle and aunt Bill and Denise Hill and family. Melissa devoted her life to caring for others and, as a long-time nurse at Wentworth Lodge she will be sadly missed and always remembered by her work family and residents. Melissa surrounded herself with lifelong and meaningful friendships. She will be fondly remembered by close friends Steve, Lisa, Carol, Graham, Traci, Becky, Joanne, and Silvano. Missi was also an honorary mama bear to Cassandra, Jessie, Campbell, Graceyn and Hunter. Missi loved to travel - from the Cliffs of Moher to the Big Apple, Edinburgh, the BVI’s, Cuba or even a quick trip to Texas. Her suitcase was always ready to go - six months in advance! Melissa and Rich traded country life for city living several years ago. They quickly fell in love with life in the city and they could often be seen riding their bikes around the city and kayaking through the beautiful peaceful waters of Bayfront Park. Missi was an honorary member and proudest supporter of The Mulberry Street Porchin Band and despite chemotherapy and illness she could always be found watching and cheering on the band every Friday night. Special thanks to the wonderful nurses of 3C at The Juravinski Hospital for the kindest compassionate care, you are all special angels placed on this earth to share your amazing gifts. Cremation has taken place and Melissa’s life will be celebrated at a later date when we are free to gather as she wanted. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family. To quote Melissa’s favorite lyrics by the Beatles…. “And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make” https://www.cancer.ca/en/donate/?region=on&s_srx=cancer.ca-navbar-en
