August 2, 1944 - March 8, 2025
Lillian Bernice Schlesinger (Whitelaw) aged 80, passed away on March 8, 2025.
She was a beloved mother, wife, grandmother, sister, and friend.
Lillian was born on August 2, 1944, in Vancouver, BC. Her family moved to Prince George, then Fort St. John, where Lillian graduated high school.
Lillian became a nurse in 1967. She married Gary on April 22, 1967, in Ft. St. John. They settled in Prince George where they raised three daughters. Lillian was an incredible nurse who worked the majority of her career at PGRH. After Lillian retired, she worked at the hospice house where she was able to focus on palliative nursing. Lillian was a devoted Mom and Grandmother and always went above and beyond to provide for everyone.
There was nothing that brought more happiness to Lillian than her grandchildren.
Lillian died in the early morning of March 8, on International Women’s Day. She died peacefully, on her own terms, with family by her side. We would like to thank the ICU staff that did everything in their power to move her towards recovery while also caring for her family.
Lillian is survived by her devoted husband Gary, her children, Cheryl (Kevin), Debbie, Brenda, and Pam, and her grandchildren, Marcus, Caitlyn, Nathan, and Rylan.
Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
A private gathering will be held for family and friends in the early summer in Prince George and Trail.
