Passed away peacefully at Lisaard House, Cambridge on Monday September 2, 2019 at the age of 96 years. 

Greta road her bicycle to and from work for decades and then later- to the golf course until she was almost 80.  She was an avid fan of tennis, golf and baseball. She loved playing bridge, scrabble and doing her daily crossword. She read the newspaper and checked the stock reports daily. She loved reading, travelling, gardening, cooking and baking. Her canning specialties were jams, pickles and neon-coloured relish.  Greta had a strong will and an opinion about many things. She was known to enjoy a beer and a cigarette right up until her last days. 

She was the dear wife of the late Arthur Hodgins (1981).  Loving mother of Ronald Hodgins (Lynn Charbonneau), Gregory  Hodgins (Amy Malone) and Lori Roussakis (George).  Proud grandmother of Shaun, Jeffrey & Shannon Hodgins; Alicia Dombrose and Danielle Mussara (DJ). Proud great grandmother  of Taylor Hodgins, Arriana and Alexis Dombrose; Salvador and Carmen Mussara. Predeceased by one sister, Erica (Earl) Shantz. 

A special thank you to all the staff and volunteers at Lissard House, for their commitment and kindness shown towards our Mom and  family. 

Cremation and a private family gathering will take place.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lisaard House as expressions of sympathy. You may wish to  leave messages and condolences for the family at tricitycremations.com or 519.772.1237.

Greta,
I miss playing nines. I miss scrabble. I miss the crossword. I miss you telling me that I have done just fine and keep going. Even though I thought I screwed everything up. I miss your laugh, your smile when you laugh. Greta you are here with us. Greta you always will be. May road rise to meet your feet. May wind be at your back.

Lori I’m so sorry for your loss.

I was one of your mothers PSWs (the one who made her that note).

What a lovely woman she was, always a pleasure to see her every day. She spoke very highly of you and would always look forward to your Saturday visits at the home.

My condolences to you and your family for losing such a wonderful woman. I will always remember her and how lovely she was.

Christine

Christine: thank you for your kind words. I know that you made many special gestures to help our mom and wrote some notes for her to me after she had aphasia. Thank you for your kindness.

We were very sad to here of Greta's passing while we were away. Greta was a remarkable woman and it was a joy to have spent time with her. Her sense of humour and artistic talent were two of the many things we will remember about her. It is a blessing that she lived 96 years. She will be missed by many.
