WILLISCROFT, Eloise Williscroft

With heavy hearts and endless love, we share  Eloise Fay Williscroft (nee Polowick) of Erieau  has set out to embrace her next great adventure. She was surrounded by her family and passed peacefully at Chatham-Kent Hospice on Sunday, June 28, 2026 at the age of 74.

Beloved wife of 54 years to Dave and devoted mother to Mary Lynn Pickering (Jamie) and Angela Frazee (Adam).

Proud and cherished grandmother to Ryan and Josh Pickering and Aidan and Alex Frazee, who were the truest joy of her life. Whether baking their favourite treats or creating special and silly moments, she created memories that will live on in their hearts forever.

Dearest daughter of the late John and Wilma Polowick. Beloved sister of the late Phillip Polowick (Linda), Sharon (Harold) Pfaff and Mary Anne (Jim) Patterson. Sister-in-law to Patricia Smith (late Jay) and the late Janice Luff. She will be missed by several nieces and nephews.

She will be remembered for her spunky spirit, unwavering kindness, and her ability to make everyone feel welcome. She had a deep love for music, art, travel, and gardening, and lived her life with creativity and passion. An incredibly talented painter, she expressed herself beautifully through her art and found great joy in sharing it with others.

A strong and accomplished woman, she successfully ran DPM Insurance with grace and determination. A career she cherished that allowed her to work along side Dave and Angie.

Her love for community was evident in all she did. She generously gave her time to many committees over the years, most proudly to Art on the Boulevard, helping to bring people together through creativity and shared experience.

To know her was to love her. She left a lasting impression on every life she touched, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who were fortunate enough to share in her light.

Though she has stepped beyond our sight, she leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and beautiful moments that will continue to guide and inspire.

We will miss you forever.
