Pauline Lilley

August 8, 1935 - June 21, 2017

It is with great sadness the family announces her passing on June 21 at St. Peter's Hospital in Hamilton following a courageous battle with cancer. Much loved and devoted wife of Raymond for 63 years. Cherished, loving mother to David and Peter (Shelley). A caring, unconditional and loving Grandmother to Megan (Mitchell) and Ryan, and Step-Grandmother to Brooke and Trevor. Pauline will be greatly missed by her siblings Joan Van Daalen and Keith (Sandy) Auestad, her nieces and nephews Shelley (Mark), David (Rebecca), Tracey (Peter) and Dale, as well as her extended family and many friends in Canada and in England. Predeceased by her parents Frank & Selina Auestad. Many thanks to the medical staff at Juravinski, St. Joe's and St. Peter's Hospitals and the doctors, nurses and caregivers for their kindness and compassion and for making it possible to bring Pauline home to spend her last days with her family. Pauline's laughter and vibrant personality along with her caring and giving nature will be missed by all who loved and cherished her. Her memory will live on forever in our hearts. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family memorial is being held. Memorial donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
