Hilda passed away peace- fully at Vancouver General Hospital on Monday, December 16, 2024 about two weeks after celebrating her 99th. birthday with family and friends.

She was predeceased by her elder sister, Fay, her twin brother, George, her younger brother, Christie, and by her son Michael, and her son, Ian.

Hilda leaves behind her daughter, Jane, her son, Simon, her daughter-in- law, Linda, her grandchildren Sophie, Emma, Samantha, and Andrew; and great grandchildren, Rowan, Miles, Liv, and Case – as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, godchildren, and close friends.

Hilda was born in Quebec City to her Ottawa born mother, Katherine, and Quebec City born father, Andrew Cecil Meredith Thomson. She grew up in a much-storied neighbourhood on Learmouth Avenue, and later attended Compton girls boarding school in the Eastern Townships, and Mc- Gill University in Montreal.

She met her husband, Donald Good in Toronto while working as a social worker for Children’s Aid, and returned with him to his home in Cape Town, South Africa, following their marriage, in 1952, where she raised her four children.

After separating from Donald, she returned to Quebec City in 1962, and lived there until her move to Vancouver in 1993.

Hilda has always been an active member of the Anglican Church, in Cape Town, in Quebec City, and in Vancouver; participating on various committees and in various ecumenical projects.

She spent almost every summer of her life (except while she was in South Af- rica) at her beloved ances- tral family property on the St. Lawrence River in St. Patrice, Rivière-du-Loup, and spent over 5 months there in the summer of 2024, surrounded by extended family and longtime friends.

It is expected that she will be buried in Mount Hermon cemetery in Sillery, Quebec. Funeral arrangements have yet to be finalized.

Hilda will be lovingly remembered as an adventurous, compassionate, joyful, and wise mom, granny, auntie, sister, cousin, sister-in- law, mother-in-law, great-grandmother, godmother, and friend.
