GEORGINA WILDING
She is survived by her two children, Diane (Dwayne), Brian (Kelly); her granddaughter Jordan; and two nephews, Kevin Brookes and Christian Brookes. Georgina was predeceased by her loving husband of 62 years, James Wilding, on February 6, 2018.
Mom was born in Winnipeg on November 18, 1929 and had four brothers, whom she adored. She went to Daniel McIntyre High School, and then met the love of her life, our Dad, while working at John Wood in Winnipeg. Mom was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was the sweetest, most kind, gentle soul you could ever meet. Her greatest joy was helping people, whether it was volunteering at a home for unwed mothers, or being part of the ACW at her church. However, her greatest joy was helping to raise her "precious little angel", her granddaughter Jordan.
We would like to thank all the staff at Extendicare Oakview Place for the care and support they provided to Mom.
In lieu of flowers, should friends wish to make a donation in Georgina's memory, they could do so to St. Andrews Woodhaven Anglican Church, 2700 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3J 0R1.
Due to COVID restrictions, a celebration of Mom's life and interment will be held at a later date when it is safe to do so.

My wife and I only became aware of Georgina’s passing today when our Christmas letter was returned. We had searched for an obituary in December, but obviously before we sent our letter. 2019 was the first year we had not heard back from her, so I was fearful of some tragedy. Georgie and Jim were our next-door neighbours circa 1963 in Regina, and Georgie and my mother, Shirley became fast friends. Georgie and Jim were always so pleasant and sweet. As an 8 year old boy, I always appreciated their kindness. Georgie was not beyond some high jinx, however. I remember one Hallowe’en when a large “girl” came to our door in what costume I cannot recall. My mother provided the usual treat and the girl said it was not enough and she wanted more. My mother was quite taken aback and argued with her until the “girl” opened her mouth and my mother said “Georgie!!” My mother had been a dental assistant and always recognized teeth. I remember the two of them laughing and laughing over that. They kept in touch after Georgie and Jim moved back to Winnipeg, until my mother’s premature passing in 1976 at age 47. Jim and Georgie made the journey from Winnipeg to Saskatoon where my mother lived so Jim could serve as a Pallbearer at the funeral. I will always appreciate that. Since my mother’s death, Georgie and Jim and my wife and I traded Christmas letters for over 40 years. Georgie always kept track of us and our family and always told us how proud she was of her family as well. We always recognized the strong penmanship when the letters arrived. I will miss Georgie’s Christmas Greetings and will always have a special place in my heart for her and Jim. Sincere Condolences to Diane and Brian and Family. Rest in Peace old friend.

I remember Georgina when she was young and visiting my grandparents, Robert and Viola Radford, in Keyes, MB. She was a cousin of my father, Bruce Radford, and his nine brothers and sisters. I remember her as being fun and beautiful and we all loved her. My deepest sympathy in the loss of this truly lovely, in all ways, woman. - Posted by: Gail Radford-Ross (Cousin to my father) on: Jan 03, 2021
