Obituary of Hylude Deery

DEERY, Hylude – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hylude Deery on Thursday, March 25, 2021 at the age of 85. Hylude was a registered nurse for 35 years working at both Sarnia General and St. Joseph’s Hospitals. Hylude was a devoted wife to John Brendan Deery for 33 years before losing him to cancer in 1994. An avid book reader and crossword puzzler made for easy gift giving. Her twinkling eyes and contagious smile will be forever missed by the family she has left behind. Hylude is survived by her daughter Ann Deery, her son Brendan (Rosanna) Deery, her son Philip (Annette) Deery, her daughter Kelly (Karl) Bulitka and her daughter Dawn (Neil) Ferrier. Treasured by her grandchildren Julia, Tahlia, Liam, Allison, Meara, Sofie, Shane, Brendan and Veronica. Also survived by her sister Ruth (William) Abbott and step-brother Bill (Tammy) Kilborn. Predeceased by her sisters Helen Koppin, Marion Nacci and Dorothy Hall. Hylude will be missed by many nieces and nephews. We would be remiss to not thank the loving family both near and far who checked in on her frequently throughout the years. A private family Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Church with interment at Our Lady of Mercy Cemetery.
