SANDRA KATHLEEN SILLCOX (NEE POWELL)

What a wonderful ride it has been!

Sandra Sillcox - wife, mother, grandmother, sister, matriarch, equestrian, volunteer extraordinaire, friend and larger than life personality - passed away peacefully in her sleep March 26 at 74 years of age. Although quietly ill from cancer, Sandra remained highly active and was feeding and looking after her beloved horses until two weeks before her passing. Sandra was greatly loved by her husband Robert, daughter Dana (Jim), daughter Paige (Joe), son Scott (Kim), and grandchildren ­ Nick, Devon, Mitchell, Thomas, Kendall, Carly and Kai. Also survived by her brother Clay Powell, QC. To say that Sandra was strong willed, independent and oneof-a-kind would be an understatement. She was a remarkable person who touched and influenced far more people than we can know. So many things can and will be said about the remarkable Sandra, but above all it was never dull and we thank her for that. Her cup was forever half full. A celebration of Sandra's life will be held 11:00 am Wednesday April 2 at All Saints Anglican Church in King City with refreshments afterwards.

Cremation has taken place. Condolences, as well as favourite stories and fond memories of Sandra, may be forwarded to Scott at ssillcox@ca.inter.net.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Michael Dawson as well as the entire team at Southlake Regional Health Centre. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation Cancer/ Palliative Care Unit (905) 836-7333 or to the charity of your choice.

Sandra married Robert Lewis Sillcox, son of Lewis Ketcham Sillcox and Edna May Harris, on 1 Oct 1954 in Saint John's Anglican Church, York Mills, Ontario. (Robert Lewis Sillcox was born on 15 Sep 1931 in Toronto, Ontario.)
