Twila Ethel Woods ,nee Marshall
October 10, 1943- October 29, 2018
As published in the October 19, 2018 World-Spectator
Twila passed away peacefully on October 29, 2018 in Victoria, British Columbia, ready to go and surrounded by love.
She was born on October 10, 1943 in Elkhorn, Manitoba to Ben Alexander Marshall and Ruth Eileen Marshall (nee Poston), both deceased. She grew up on a farm near Manson, Manitoba with her younger sister Judy McAuley, now of Edmonton.
Twila is survived by Calvin, her beloved husband of 52 years, her children and grandchildren, and a wonderful extended community of family and friends who will all miss her dearly.
Twila and Cal lived in many places in western and northern Canada before moving to Victoria in 1986. In addition to raising family, she spent many years working in television production and sales, initially in Yorkton and later in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. In Victoria, she worked in interior design and lifestyle retail; volunteered part-time as a crisis line responder; and nurtured her passion for philosophy, literature and First Nations studies as a mature student at the University of Victoria. She loved art, music and travel; good food, nice wine and single malt whisky; the wide, bright skies of the prairies; reading, reflecting and exploring with her book clubs; and mostly, enjoying life with the friends and family she loved.
There was a reception to honour and celebrate Twila’s life at McCall Gardens in Victoria on Thursday, November 1.
