"Do not go gently into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."This memorial website was created to remember our dearest
Joan Arlene Jilks (Butt) who was born in
Canada Toronto, ON on
April 4, 1925 and passed away on
May 13, 2006 at the age of
81. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
On May 13th, at 9:00 a.m. Joan Arlene Jilks (Butt) passed over in her 81st year. As a loving wife to Raymond Dane Jilks in Bala, she looked after him until the end. Their marriage of 59 years endured ill health and she was ‘just fine, dear,’ until the end. She embraced her last moments on earth in the beauty and the peace of her Bala lakefront home. She visited the hospital several times in the last few weeks of her life, but remained adamant about dying in her beloved home. Her children ensured that this was made so.
