Obituary of Mildred Margaret Quong

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Mildred Quong (nee Odgers). Mildred passed away peacefully on October 27, 2025, in her 99th year at her home in Port Robinson, Ontario.

Mildred leaves behind her six children, Ken (Fran) Quong, Leslie Quong, Judy (Steve) Brandes, Gordon (Sandy) Quong, Rose Quong (Jamie Forrest), Garry (Carolyn) Quong. Mildred deeply cherished her family including 15 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren.

Mildred was predeceased by her parents George and Mary Odgers (nee Poitras), her sister Jessie and brothers Jack and Joe and her husband Fred Quong. She is survived by her sister Madeliene Poitras (107 yrs old), as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Mildred was born in Cochin, Saskatchewan and lived in many areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta, then settling in Ontario in 2008. She loved to travel and has enjoyed trips throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario as well as a trip to Cuba.

Mildred attended the Coronation Centre where she volunteered her time knitting squares to make blankets for the needy. She was very excited participating in the Terry Fox Run. Her favourite past times were spending time with family and friends, playing cards, telling jokes, enjoying music, dancing and doing word searches.

Mildred was fun loving, kind, generous to a fault and humble. Her easy-going nature and great sense of humour had everyone she met as a friend and often calling her grandma. She will be lovingly remembered and missed.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Aidoo (Family Physician), Dr. Manser (Palliative Care Physician), Dr. Garani (Cardiologist). Palliative Nurses Collen (RN), Jocelyn (RN), Trina (RN), and Kim (RN) Paramed Personal Support Workers Elizabeth, Brier, Brenda, Anita, Belle, Sahrah, Rebekah and Christiana. Your kindness and dedication will never be forgotten.

Cremation has taken place and in keeping with her wishes, internment will be held at a later date in North Battleford, Saskatchewan where she will join her husband Fred. A private family celebration of life will be held on November 01, 2025.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Birchway Niagara Women’s Shelter in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
