Mathilda ("Tillie) McLeod

Tillie was born in Bolney, Saskatchewan, and raised on the family farm near Paradise Hill, northeast of LLoydminster, Saskatchewan. Tillie completed her nursing training in Saskatoon and eventually found her way to Pincher Creek hospital where she worked taking care of the newborn babies, until she retired in 1999. That’s when she devoted her time to some of her greatest joys, her grandchildren, gardening, and let’s not forget the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tillie always had time for visitors and made sure family gatherings were held frequently – always starting with fun conversation, followed by a big meal, and often ending with a game of cards. The McLeod house was filled with the smells of fresh baking, the laughter of children, and good ole country music. Having come from a very close and loving family, Tillie instilled the same sense of “family” in her children.

In Tillie’s later years, she enjoyed reading inspirational and spiritual books that she found comforting. Her faith in God was unshakeable.

Tillie is forever loved and remembered by her children, Kathie, Betty Anne, Brenda, Randy (Rose), Jackie, Debbie, Ken (Charity); Grandchildren, Joey (Nicole), Mattie (Chris), Alex (Megan), Calvin (Madison), Diann, Connor (Noema), Hailey, Eric, Anna; Great grandchildren, Harper, William, Marley, Griffin, Ryan, Dawson, Cameron, Dean; Sister, Annette; Sisters-in-law, Vi Leer, Loretta Leer, Jeanette Leer, Joyce McLeod; and numerous nephews and nieces
