Passed away peacefully at Carpenter Hospice with family by her side on February 2, 2020 in her 82 year. We have lost a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Sigrid leaves behind her loving husband of 59 years, Terence, and children Shelagh (John), Sean (Andrea), Theresa (Doug), Dan (Jennifer) and Sarah (Ben). She was predeceased by her son, David. She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren, John (Jodie), Kyle (Brittany), Jessica, James, Rachel, Charlotte, Luke, Madeleine, Owen, Rebecca, Ryan, Willow, Ashby and Briar as well as great-grandchildren Charlie, Tanner, Kaleb, Felix and Kacey.

Special thanks go to the nurses who cared for Sigrid at Carpenter Hospice.
Following Sigrid’s wishes, there will be a private family funeral.
