As published in the March 9, 2020 World-Spectator
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ernie in Vancouver. He was the youngest child of Sarah and Lloyd Hodgins who farmed in the Fairmede District. Ernie was predeceased by his parents and his siblings: Lewis, Jim, Murray, George, Edith (Doane) and Dave.
Ernie graduated with a Mechanical Engineering Degree form the University of Saskatchewan in 1962. At the age of 44, Ernie met the love of his life and married Grace Mills on August 11, 1979. They moved to 100 Mile House, B.C., where they made their life together on Tad Lake. Ernie and Grace moved to Vancouver in 2012.
Ernie was a good, kind man and loved spending time with family and friends. He was always willing to give a helping hand, no matter life circumstances.
Ernie is survived by his spouse, Grace Mills-Hodgins, their three children, 10 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: Fairmede Church Restoration Fund, Box 440, Wawota, SK, S0G 5A0.
