HEINMILLER, Margaret Edith (Wicks/Pridham)

Born May 3, 1925. Mom left us suddenly, at the tender age of 101.5 on November 4, 2026 one week shy of her favourite and revered day, Remembrance Day. Born in Berkshire England, to Margaret (Hayward) and Charles Wicks. Mom came to Canada at the young age of 4, with her sister Jean (2), and her two Aunties. They travelled from Southampton, England on the ship Acacia landing in Montreal, later moving to the Listowel area. When world War II broke out mom left home at the age of 16 to join the Women’s Royal Enlisted Navy (WREN). Mom was determined to serve after several of her classmates went off to war, never to return. Mom enjoyed a wonderful adventurous life-filled with travel across the world. Each adventure brought memories and photos and many new friends along the way. Mom was a proud Legion member and served as the first female President of Branch 409, Palmerston. Mom was incredibly active in her community-she so enjoyed her work with Veterans Affairs ensuring any Veteran that had served, received any and all Government assistance possible. Mom loved walking, cards, her girlfriends trips to the Casino, a joke or two if possible and always looking at the bright side of life. Mom was predeceased by many family members and her husbands Aubrey George James Pridham and Samuel Laverne Heinmiller. Mom leaves us all to mourn and grieve her passing. Mom has many good friends, you know who you are, and relatives across the miles. Mom will be dearly missed by many in the town of Palmerston, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will live on in the hearts of her children Robin Andrew Pridham (Josee) and Nancy Anne Pridham (George). The family will receive friends at the Heritage Funeral Home, Palmerston on Saturday, November 14, 2026 from 2:00 to 4:00pm. As expressions of sympathy donations to the Frank Lambier Legion Branch 409 or the Humane Society would be appreciated by the family.
