It is with sad hearts we announce the passing of Erma May Schilling (nee Muir) on Thursday, December 26, 2024 at the age of 92.

Erma was born and raised in Bloomfield, New Brunswick. She moved to Ontario in 1962 where she worked at Kilean Lodge Long Term Care Home in Grimsby.
In 1971 she started her Drapery business, Prestige Custom Draperies. Her work was beautiful and meticulously done to perfection. Many of Erma’s customers became great friends with her even to this day. She valued those friendships and the many friends she has had over the years.

Sincere sympathy to Erma’s family.
Erma was my late mother’s sister-in-law a long, long time ago, but they always kept in touch. It was my pleasure to meet Erma several times over the years on her trips back home to New Brunswick as she and my mother always got together when she came home.
Erma called me several times after my mother passed this past March and I enjoyed our talks very much.
I wish I had had the opportunity to have known her better.
My sincere sympathy to the family.

Dear Vaughan, please know that we are thinking about you and your family. Even though Aunt Erma lived away she loved and kept in very close contact with her family. She and Irene would have lengthy chats, they were so close. We will sure miss our Saturday afternoon chats with Shirley, Mom and Aunt Erma. They would talk about lots of different things and bring up memories.
Vaughan, know in your heart you were a wonderful son and your mother appreciated you and your help. Sending Hugs.
I send my sympathy.
Erma was so talented. I still have drapes she made 30 years ago. And she brought the most amazing baked goods to my brother Harold & Willie.
I was happy to chat with Erma last fall. She invited me to visit but then she wasn’t feeling well so I’m disappointed that never happened.
Your Mom, grandmother will be greatly missed I am sure, but treasure the memories of your happy times together.
