<div itemprop="description">Dagmar &ldquo;Woody&rdquo; Glennis Elliott passed away peacefully at Cairnsmore Place on June 30, 2013. She was predeceased just 6 months ago by Allen, her husband of 68 years. Dagmar will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children Terry (Norma), Jo Ann (Larry), and Jim; by her grandchildren Derek (Katja), Deanna, Chris and Jeannie; and great-grandchild Kaz. Dagmar was born in Norquay, Saskatchewan to Alfred and Myrtle Belle Mathison, the youngest of eight children. She met Al while serving in the Canadian Army at Camp Shilo, Manitoba in 1943. It was there that she gained her unusual nickname &ndash; when Dagmar became Dagwood (a popular comic strip character) and then Woody. She enjoyed doing crafts of all types, but especially knitting. She made hundreds of items for local charities and could rarely been seen without a project on the go. She was also an avid bridge player who had a passion for the game and enjoyed teaching others how to play. Woody will be forever remembered as a kind and loving lady by all who knew her. <br /> <br />Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Cairnsmore Place who provided her with a safe, comfortable home during her final months. Grateful thanks also to Dr. Ann Thompson for her kind care of our mother. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation, designated for Cairnsmore Place. <br /> <br /></div>
