Lila Anne Trites

Lila was proud of receiving her certification from NBCC as a Geiratric Aide and enjoyed caring for the needs of the residents at the Kenneth E. Spencer Memorial Home until her retirement.    When she was young she worked hard planting trees, she had a passion for the outdoors and all it had to offer.  Homegrown and natural was always best and she was thankful for being taught how to garden and preserve what was harvested by her parents.  She would often research and was knowledgeable about wild edibles and foraging and would gladly share her findings with anyone. 

 

Lila also had a secret talent of being an artist. She only shared her talent after a friend requested proof of her abilities, it was evident Lila had a gift. Lila also loved playing the guitar.  She enjoyed reminiscing about the good ol’ days and sharing childhood memories.  Her parents were a big part of her life and she appreciated all they did for her.

 

She was over the moon when she met her late partner Stephen Chambers. Although they were only together for a short period of time before he passed, she felt blessed to have him by her side for the time that she did. She had a special place in her heart for dogs and took great comfort in the companionship of her dog, Julie after her loss. 

 

Lila loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and was happiest when they came over for visits. She was proud of all their accomplishments.  Lila was close to her neighbours and was always cooking for them or dropping off treats for the kids.  She was called "Aunt Lila" and will be missed.

 

She was so grateful to have her faith in God and a family for support, especially through life's challenges.  Lila valued life’s greatest treasures we often take for granted. 

 

"Enjoy the little things in life for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things."  

 

She will be deeply missed by her father, Alden Woodworth (Rose) of Riverside-Albert; her daughter, Jana Jones of Riverview and son, Jeremy Jones (Dawn) of Mill Cove ; treasured grandchildren, Josh, Dustin, Zander, Alyssa and Brayden ; sisters Jean Jones of  Toronto, ON, Kathleen Murray of Salisbury , Arleen Woodworth of River Glade, and Angela Elliott (Aaron) of Hillsborough; brothers, Carl Woodworth (Patricia) of Mulgrave, NS and Dale Woodworth (Mary) of Hillsborough.  She will also be missed by several aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews and by all her extended family, and friends. 

 

Lila was predeceased by her mother, Ola (Beaumont) Woodworth and partner, Stephen Chambers (2019).

 

There will be a  time of visitation at the Albert County Funeral Home on Thursday, August 10th, 2023 at 1:00- 2:00pm.  A Memorial service to celebrate her life will take place at 2:00pm at the funeral home.  Interment will be in the Hopewell Cemetery, Hopewell Hill, NB.
