Obituary

It is with deep sadness that the family announce the passing of Enid Elizabeth Hughes (neé Black) on November 1st 2020, at her home surrounded by family. Cherished wife of 42 years to Derek and best Mom ever to daughters Rhonda and Kara (Wayne).

The youngest of four siblings, Enid is predeceased by her brother Ian (Doreen) and will be forever missed by her siblings Sheila and Laird (Deborah). Beloved aunt, great aunt, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and niece, Enid will be missed by many including friends old and new.

Enid loved her family deeply and devoted her life to taking care of her husband, kids and dogs (and her kids' dogs, too). Known for her mischievous sense of humour, to be teased by Enid was to know you were loved. And if she made you a pie (or 3) or baked cookies for you, then you knew you were truly special.

Thank you to our nurse Louise, Dr. Ariane St-Jean and the whole home care team for their guidance and compassion. Special thoughts go out to Enid's colleague and dear friend Heather Mac for her love and friendship.

At Enid's request there will be no funeral or visitation service. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Almost two weeks have passed and can't stop thinking how the passing of such a dear friend can overpower one's deepest feelings. We'll always remember how some of our best Christmases were spent with the Hughes family. Derek, Rhonda and Kara our thoughts and prayers are with you. And we'll never forget Enid's cute little mischievous smile.

Offering our support of love, sympathy to Derek, Rhonda, and Kara as you grieve the loss of dear Enid. It was Enid’s infectious laugh that first caught my attention when our paths happened to cross. A chance meeting that led to a bond, that as mothers and as friends, for years to come. Hugs always xx

Derek, Rhonda, and Kara, We’re so sorry for your loss. Words are so inadequate to express how we feel at losing Enid’s love and friendship. I’ve only gotten to know Enid better recently, since she started being caregiver to Eileen. Her love and constant good humour have been a real blessing both to Eileen and to me. Rest In Peace, Enid. Love, Jim, Gail, and Eileen

I am deeply saddened by this news. I was fortunate enough to have met her about 50 years ago at Kerr’s Farm. She was a kind and thoughtful person who always brought a smile to my face whenever we ran into each other in Lachute. My sympathy to Derek, Rhonda, and Kara as well as her family and friends.

Enid was a cousin. We worked and laughed together many years ago working at Kerr’s farm. She was a special person and touched many lives in a caring and loving way. On behalf of my sister Diane who said that they talked on the phone many times for hours. She will be sadly missed by us both. Sending hugs to Derek, Rhonda and Kara and Gloria. 💕
