Allen & Pat I met your Mom & Dad when they moved to Orangeville and I helped them design their new Home. Your Mom was a very warm and Lovely Lady, very supportive of you Dad. I would offer my deepest Condolences and Sympathy to you and your families, A LOVELY LADY

Victoria was a faithful and capable handbell ringer for many years with the Bells of Westminster in Orangeville. To ensure that she played the right notes in time, she marked her music with extreme care and neatness! After she could no longer ring, she continued to enjoy hearing us play. We will remember her as a formal, yet gracious lady!

Al & Pat and families.. it is a huge emptiness..that this petite woman leaves in all our hearts .. none more than yours..

I loved her dearly and enjoyed our times together and the great conversations we shared..

She had a wisdom and was a great support and encourager… to all she met and always took great interest in striking up a conversation and making everyone feel welcome and important..

The memories are yours to keep always..

SO glad that you guys worked it out so that she could be at home.. where she felt the most comfortable..

Some people come into our lives and quickly go..
Others stay a while and leave footprints on our heart and we are never quite the same…

Thankful for the time I was honored to share part of her journey, for her stories, her laugh and smile..I will miss her very deeply…however am SO very happy for the memories our family had of your beloved parents.. great neighbours and great friends.

May God give you Strength and Peace.. She loved you all SO much..

Blessings and Hugs to you all.. Lamoine

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Victoria, I met Victoria when she was grieving the loss of her husband, we joined the coping group at the same time, I too loved her stories we all listened and enjoyed her stories that were so clear and imaginable, she would make us laugh and sometimes tell us her experiences in life, of when she met her husband. I will miss her very much. May God give you strength and help you at this very sad time.
My prayers are with you and your families. Phyllis

Victoria and Bob have inspired us to be the travelers that we have become
although we live on the Wet coast whenever we were together she always made us feel like family.

Victoria & Bob always encouraged us to have fulfilled lives and continued to set great life examples in the lives they led. Unfortunately we left Orangeville just before they arrived. Victoria certainly will be missed by the Thompsons of Nanaimo although always remembered in our hearts.

I knew your Mother & Father when they attended Westminster United Church, during that time I had the privilage to work with both of them. I always admired the energy this little women had and she was true to her opinion, that is very hard to fine in this world today.
My thoughts and prays are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Pat and Al; Sorry to hear the sad news about your Mom. You know that the Wylies have a special place in the lives of the Renshaws and, on behalf of the family, I offer our sincere condolences. Very sorry that other commitments prevent me from seeing you at this time, but I can’t find a way around them. Best wishes and God Bless.

Dear Al & Family,

While we unfortunately never met your parents we enjoyed the stories and photos you have shared with us. Those very same memories are yours to keep and fondly remember.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Pat and Allan,
Your mother was a very special lady and I really enjoyed working with her. She had tremendous pride in her family and I always enjoyed my meetings with her, hearing stories that she told with humour and love. She will be greatly missed.
With all my sympathy,
Lara Gray

My sincere condolences to the family during this sad time. It was my privilege to know your mother and dad through their faithful volunteer work at Theatre Orangeville. I grew very fond of them, and enjoyed many heartwarming conversations with your mother especially. I was extremely honoured to be invited to play the piano for their beautiful 60th anniversary celebration. Such a tiny person with the biggest heart, Victoria will be remembered for her generosity, kindness, caring and loving nature. Let us all treasure our memories of her.

Dear Al and Family:

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beloved mother. I remember her kind and gentle manner both from St. Matthew’s United Church as well as Beverley Acres Public School ( she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher).

Sincerely, Gabriele Stohr

Pat and Al, wish we could be with you. So glad that I had a great visit with your Mom last month. Marc loved to sing Satchmo’s
“Hello Ollie” instead of Dolly to your Mom, Hello Victoria just doesn’t have the right ring. Hope your happy memories can help you through this difficult time., Our memories of a beloved Aunt and Uncle be treasured always. Hugs across the miles..

I suppose Joyce and I may be the friends who have known Ollie and Bob longer than any. I have a very good memory of Bob bringing his girl friend to meet me on a Sunday afternoon in the fall of 1946, when Bob and I were room mates at Victoria College. She was a really lovely picture in a red coat (see the photo) and they were obviously very much in love.. Over the years, we kept in touch and visited them when they lived in Richmond Hill. In fact, we found our cottage on a visit to Otty Lake in 1962, since when our families enjoyed summers there together, with BBQs and learning to water ski and watching in wonderment our kids growing up, each family with a daughter and a son. Bob and I would have long chats together (except when Ollie was there, when we listened) and she and Joyce exchanged news and recipes and talked about trips, always filled with Ollie’s bubbly laughter. A warm, vibrant lady, full of curiosity about life. Pat and Alan, you know she has a special place in our memories.

Joyce and Skeets, Miriam and Graeme

Aunt Ollie had a heart of gold, a gentle voice and a great sense of humour. She was always warm and welcoming. We will remember her with fondness and smiles. She will be greatly missed. She is finally with Uncle Bob again. Condolences from all, you are our thoughts and prayers. David and Filomena

Dear Allan & Pat!
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a great person. We just live around the corner from her. We have had some great conversation with her. It wasn’t to long ago she would pass our house with her walker and stop to chat. She was such a caring & loving person.

I was one of Mrs. Wylie’s kindergarten students at Beverley Acres Public School. I am known as the girl that found her at the Nasa Cape Canaveral in Florida while we were on March Break. She told everyone she couldn’t get rid of me even on Vacation. She was a wonderful woman who was highly regarded and loved!! She will be missed

Victoria and I lost our dear husbands only 2 months apart and we went through a very supportive grieving group session (called Coping) together last year. I knew Bob from CNIB and he suggested that Doug and I would enjoy Probus Club and he introduced us. There we met Victoria and went on various excursions with them. Doug used to tease Victoria…he always called her Ollie when he accidentally found out that that was her first name. So I decided that Victoria should have a “return volley”, and I told her that Doug’s “real” first name was Edward. The next time we saw them, Doug said “Hi Ollie” and Victoria retorted, “Hi Eddie!” She had a good laugh at Doug’s reaction.
I just thought that you would like this little anecdote about your delightful, feisty,warm-hearted mother. She will be missed.

Dear Pat and Al
My condolences to you. Mothers are very special in our lives…from whence we have come and we are never prepared for their leaving. Your Mom was a great Lady – small in stature but with a very big heart. A gentle soul who was interested and interesting. Very involved and she made a difference in the lives of those she touched. She was a proud Mom. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Patricia… Offering love and strength at this difficult time. I didn’t know your mother, but she lives on in you and you are a woman that shines with caring, gentleness, and justice. I cannot think of a more loving daughter – when we were together on Project Overseas assignment in Uganda in 2008, you were a model to me of a devoted daughter. This consideration and love must have been a steadfast support for your parents. I hope you find some consolation in this – sending love and gratitude for our friendship! Kathrin

We will never forget our wonderful neighbours Bob and Victoria. Victoria was a very interesting person who loved people . She will be sadly missed. Please accept our condolences Pat and Allan.She was dear to our hearts!!!!!

Your Mother was a gracious lady and will be sadly missed by every life that she so dearly touched.

Please accept our heart felt condolences on the passing of mom. We knew both Bob & Victoria from Probus and went on several excursions with them. They will be missed and we grieve at their passing.
Bob & Bobbie

Dear Folks
My mother, Gladys Foster Hamilton, was acquainted with Victoria through Westminster United Church in Orangeville. Mom would frequently speak fondly of Victoria Wyllie. Mom was aware that Victoria was a sister of Mildred who married Bob Hamilton, one of our cousins.
Very best wishes to all the family members.
Sincerely,
Marlene Hamilton Anderson

Olive was always such a gracious, loving and interesting woman with a most extraordinary love for her husband. Rest in peace, my dear friend, you will be very missed.

To the family of Robert and Victoria Wylie,

When I returned from Europe last night, it was sad news to hear of Victoria’s passing. We had talked on the phone some time ago and she sounded so positive about everything. I know you will miss her greatly.

May prayers and your fond memories help at this time.

Sincerely,
Muriel Allen – widow of Don Allen

Lamoine told me that Victoria had passed away.
And I wanted to let you know that I remember her so well.
She was someone I met many years ago.
I always loved seeing her @ the parties that Lamoine and Preben hosted.
Victoria was a great to have a chat with. And she was always interested in what others were doing.
Everyone will miss her.
Sincerely
Marilyn
