Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today to pay tribute to a wonderful woman from Simcoe—Grey.
Hilda Noble was an amazing person. She was the kind of person who brought a smile to everyone's face every time they met her.
She and Wayne, her husband of 30 years, were active in the business community through Noble Insurance, a well-respected firm.
She was known best for her charitable work, especially in her home community of Collingwood.
Hilda was a life member of the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital auxiliary and past president of the Canadian Cancer Society. She fundraised for cancer research for decades and was co-chair of a breast cancer support group. She loved the arts and was a board member for the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts for over 40 years. Hilda was instrumental in raising money for Crime Stoppers. This woman did it all.
Hilda was a kind, generous, and loving woman. I am honoured to have known her. She will be missed dearly by her husband, her family, and our entire community.
