Matilda "Tillie" Farrington Obituary

Matilda “Tillie” Farrington passed away peacefully at Chinook Regional Hospital, Lethbridge, Alberta, on Friday, October 2, 2020 at the age of 90 years.

Tillie was born in Hardieville, Alberta and grew up on a small farm near Stewart Siding. She married Don in 1953 and together they nurtured a wonderful family life with their three children.

Tillie is predeceased by her beloved husband Don, her parents Marko and Roza Miskulin and her siblings, Anne, Joe, Nick, George and Mike.

She is survived by her son, Greg (Garilene) and their family Kari Patricia, Ryan (Jen), Aiden and Natalie of Kingston, Ontario; daughter, Mary Anne (Mark) Murphy of Lethbridge and their family Curt Derbyshire (Amanda), Kari Derbyshire (Jon) and Florence; son Jim (Alejandra) Farrington  of Calgary and their family Courtenay, Kyo (McKenzie), Juan, Ali and Sophia.

Tillie is also survived by her sisters-in-law Kathy Miskulin and Mary Miskulin.

Tillie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She set an example by praying quietly, thinking deeply, giving generously and living simply. She was devoted to her family and was greatly loved by them.

Our family would like to thank the Heart Function Clinic, especially Dr. Janzen and Tara for excellent and compassionate care over the last several years.

A Private family graveside service will take place with Father Tim Boyle officiating.

Those who wish, may make a donation to The Lethbridge Interfaith Food Bank in Tillie’s honour, 1103 3 Ave N, Lethbridge, AB T1H 0H7.
