June 24, 1936 - August 9, 2024
In loving memory ~
On Aug 9, 2024, at the age of 88, our beautiful, beloved mother Roberta Davies (Sedgwick) passed away peacefully. With her eldest son and 3 daughters by her side her wish to die at home was fulfilled. She is now reunited with her husband of 68 years Gerald, sons Steven and Gerald and grandson Kenny Davies. Born on June 24, 1936 in Victoria B.C. She spent her childhood in Victoria, Langford, and on Salt Spring Island. She married Gerald Davies in Colwood on Feb. 4, 1956 and went on to spend their life together in Sooke where they raised their 6 children. Her family meant the world to her and she was happiest when her house was full of her children, grandchildren and many friends. Later, as her nest emptied, she kept herself busy volunteering for Meals on Wheels, the gift shop at VGH and Sooke Loan Cupboard. Just months before her passing she was still arranging medical appointment rides for Sooke residents through the Community Assistance Society. Roberta enjoyed lawn bowling, shuffleboard and playing cards. She is remembered for being dealt a perfect hand in a team cribbage game at the Sooke Legion. She passed on her love for travel, gardening, knitting and baking to her children and grandchildren. Roberta will be sadly missed and is survived by her sister Frances, son Russell Davies, daughters Trudy Pearson (Kevin), Rosemary Calnan (Chris), Darlene Foote (David), daughter in-law Christina Davies, 16 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and many other family and friends.
You will be forever in our hearts
dear Mom, Grandma, GG
