Margot Esmé Willis, a long time resident of Victoria, who moved to North Saanich in 2016 died on May 16, 2019 at 11:00 am in Palliative Care at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, from complications due to pneumonia. Born in Grande Prairie, Alberta on September 5, 1934, Margot was passionate about music and was a classical pianist. She had fond memories of being asked to play over the CBC when she was in her twenties. She was a long-standing volunteer at the E.M.P Gift Shop and the James Bay Community
Library.
Margot struggled with mental illness for most of her life. Throughout her journey, she connected with many lifetime friends who also suffered and were of great comfort to each other. She enjoyed her Friday card games, loved animals, especially her little dog, Molly, who was a constant companion. She was also keen on political discussions and was gravely concerned about the environment. She regularly contributed to Nature Conservancy of Canada, Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders.
We would like to thank Dr. Fazlagic at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for his empathetic and professional guidance.
She is survived and deeply missed by her daughter, Paula and husband, Luc Sauvé, her son, Peter Willis and her three grandsons, Brook, Logan and Luke and her beloved Molly.
No funeral upon request.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Dear Paula and Peter,
I have been thinking about your mom since my parents passed on. I tried to find her a while back just to say hi. I did a google search again today and found her obituary. I just wanted to send my very delayed condolences and love. Your mom was a long-time friend of my parents and a big part of my growing up years. I have very fond memories of her. Sending you much love and warm thoughts,
Andrea May
