MORLEY, Hilda “Rae”  (nee Mellor) Morley  -  cherished daughter of Ethel Mellor (nee Jones) and Sampson Mellor, passed away suddenly on August 23rd in her 89th year.

Beloved wife of George Charles Morley for 32 years.

Proud Mum of Craig Young, Laura Murray and Lynda Burnett (Kevin) and Stepmother to Jo Barham (David). Loving Grammy to Tawsha, Marcus, Gregory, Benjamin, Robert, Stephanie, Peter, William, Timothy and Jonty. Great-Grammy to Nathaniel, Kylie and Kayla.

Predeceased by her Stepdaughter Georgina Briggs (Mike), her Grandson (Kenneth) and her dear siblings Etty, Evelyn, Gladys, Harold, Mabel, and Mary. She will be dearly missed by countless nieces, nephews and cousins overseas where she was born.

Her youth was spent in Werrington and London where she enjoyed netball, dancing and frolicking with her cousins. Her strong work ethic began at a young age in England before emigrating to Canada where she raised her family and worked tirelessly before retiring from the hardest role of all managing an apartment building. It was through a fortunate vacation visit from abroad that she met and fell in love with George and lived happily, supporting each other through life’s twists and turns for over three decades.

As a mother (Mum), she was unequalled in her love and admiration of the lives and successes of her children. As a Grammy, she gave the best cuddles and snuggles and encouraged them to live a life as she lived hers through service, empathy and generosity to those less fortunate. The light in our world is dimmer in the absence of this wonderful woman; we shall miss her deeply.

Visitation at St. Thomas Anglican Church, 101 Winchester Rd. Brooklin on Wednesday August 28th, from 10:00 am until time of funeral service in the Church at 11:00 am.
