Donna succumbed to a sudden health crisis while on vacation with friends, surrounded by people who loved her. Pre-deceased by her parents Harold and Evron (Barrington) and only sister Rhonda (Chisholm), Donna led a simple life of quiet faith, starting with the United Church in Eganville, then Baptist churches in Edmonton and Ottawa, ultimately moving on to the Met, and in the last years of her life, Sequoia Community Church in Barrhaven. Growing up in Eganville, she was an athlete and cheerleader in high school and subsequently went on to university to pursue her dream of a career in speech therapy until health issues forced her to abandon that goal. For most of her adult years she had to deal with an increasing number of health challenges that limited her range to some degree, but she bore her afflictions uncomplainingly and with quiet perseverance. For many years she volunteered with the Aphasia Centre in Ottawa to use her education to help stroke victims recover their ability to speak. She retired from this when the centre relocated to a site Donna could no longer easily get to. Her external activities after this were mainly church-related such as singing on the worship team at Parkdale Baptist Church and simply enjoying the company of friends and family. She was kind and generous and will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her delight in simple things, her determination and self-discipline. Truly a life well lived under difficult circ*mstances. Those who know her will miss her terribly, but we rest assured that she is now safely in the arms of her Saviour free from all her afflictions, and in that we rejoice. Visitation was held from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m., Thursday, July 18 at the Tubman Funeral Home, 3440 Richmond Road, Ottawa. A brief memorial service followed. Condolences may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Janey, her life cut short by complications related to a fall in Digby, Nova Scotia. She was as close to perfection as anyone who walks the surface of this earth could be – a perfect wife, an extraordinary mother and the best friend anyone could ask for. She was kind, selfless, wise, fearless, had the best sense of humour, the most contagious laugh and was so willing to love. Janey looked after all her children always, and her children's friends whenever she could. It is a gift she had in spite of losing her own mother at the age of 15. She was the heart at the centre of our world and the thread that wove her community together.Janey was born in Smiths Falls, Ontario and completed high school as an Ontario Scholar. She then came to Western where she graduated with her BScN. She met Brian at a nursing pub while in her third year at Western, and the rest is history. Janey worked in Rehab Medicine while in London. She and Brian then went to San Francisco and Scotland while he did additional training. They settled in London in 1983. They enjoyed 46 happy, busy years together. They have 4 children; Shawn, Katie, Joel, and Justin and was a "G-ma" to Natalia. She loved them with all her heart, and it was a huge heart. She knew the dance studio, hockey arenas, schools, soccer fields and meals on wheels routes well since she spent years at all of them. She was so proud of her children, and spent evenings talking about them with Brian. She was far too humble to have these discussions outside family quarters. Janey and Brian finally reached the stage where they could start to travel, but these plans were all for naught.It is difficult to understand her death; an earth angel taken from us far too soon. We hope she had a full understanding of how loved she is. Janey used to always say the best gift you can give your children is your time and she gave us everything. We will miss her endlessly and do our best to carry her BIG love forward and spread it to those around us. Please join us in celebrating Janey's wonderful life at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, where visitation will take place on Friday, July 26, 2024 from 6 – 8:00 p.m., and a funeral service will be conducted on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Those wishing to donate in memory of Janey are asked to consider the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Humane Society London Middlesex.

1957 – 2024Work and family were both very important to Maura. At work she took on, learned, and mastered anything that was asked of her. This included research into robot control systems; process control software for chip manufacturing factories ("fabs"); database design and implementation; internal messaging infrastructure for complex telecom gear; and debugging tools for real-time issues, as applied to both "traditional" data switching gear, as well as the newest fibre optical technology. Maura enjoyed the esteem of her co-workers here in Ottawa, in China, in India and in previous jobs in New Jersey. She got along with everyone – collegial, co-operative, and practical, with a "let's get the job done" attitude. Not to mention the co-workers who became lifelong friends.Maura grew up the youngest of six children in a humble but hard-working dairy farming family in Greenwich, NY – in upstate New York, near Saratoga Springs. Academic excellence resulted in degrees from SUNY Potsdam and Cornell University. She then worked for some of the biggest names in the "high tech" of telecommunications: AT&T and Siemens in New Jersey, and Nortel, and Ciena in Ottawa. It was at Cornell that she met Daniel Zlatin. Later, their marriage resulted in her move to Ottawa and 33 loving years together (shared with various cats). She enjoyed travelling and educating herself during those travels. She was always curious about the world and had a love of nature that she used as a source of entertainment for her family, with daily emails during the last four years of her life.But Maura was also a homebody, still very attached to where she grew up. Visits to her sisters Leona (and Peter Read) and family and Jane (and Harold Garstang), and her brothers Tim (predeceased) and Jack (predeceased), were very important to her. She made time to ensure she went "home" as often as possible, for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or Easter dinners; and also birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. And although her brother Ed (and Dorothy) live on the West Coast, she was always very happy to catch up with what was going on with him and his family. And there are also friends from her childhood and academic years – still in touch over all the years.Maura did not battle cancer. That was not her style. She had an 11-year journey with it. Not always a pleasant journey – journeys can include roads that have many potholes. But such journeys are not always unpleasant, either. And in the last few weeks, maybe it wasn't Maura journeying with it, anymore. A Celebration of her Life will be held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road (between Bayshore and Baseline Road), on Thursday, July 25 from noon until 3 p.m., with Words of Remembrance at 12:30 followed by refreshments. Links for condolences, tributes, donations and the livestream for the Words of Remembrance can be found at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.Maura's ashes will be scattered in the fall, on the hills above the farm where she grew up, completing the circle of her life's journey.In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Care Ottawa (https://www.hospicecareottawa.ca/), The Ottawa Hospital Foundation (https://ohfoundation.ca/), or your favourite health-associated charity would be appreciated.

Sidney passed away at the Village of Riverside Glen, Guelph, late Tuesday afternoon.Beloved husband of the late Patricia Mae Effer (nee Evenden).Loving and caring father aka Papo to Brian, Grant and his wife Lauren, and Brenda. Beloved GrandPapo to Leanne (Matthew), Scott (Ashley) and Luke. Special Great-GrandPapo to Jonathon, Nathan, Rebecca and Corbin. Loved uncle to many nieces and nephews. Sid was predeceased by his adored brother, Gordon. He was brother-in-law to Len and Polly Evenden of Vancouver and predeceased by Eleanor and Carl Moyer and Gwen and Don Perry.Sidney Bramwell was born in Santos Brazil to British Salvation Army missionary Officers Colonels William Effer and Ethel Harland. At age 9 his family went home to England to visit with relatives. On the cusp of WW2 Sid and his brother practiced rowing a boat in a pond to ensure that if anything happened to them while travelling in the convoy back to Brazil they could row to safety. Although much of the convoy didn't survive the transatlantic voyage, the ship they were on landed them safely on shore. This was the beginning of an adventuresome life that next took him to live with his parents in Cuba and then back to Brazil for his first job. It wasn't long after, that Sid followed his big brother, Gordon, to Canada settling into life and work. Always up to a good challenge and a bet or two with friends, Sid next found himself studying pre-med.He married Patricia at the end of the year in 1954. And she happily put hubby through university studies. There was a brief interlude working in Labrador to further fund his studies. After receiving his medical degree from University of Toronto, he began his medical practice in Sudbury and later his residency at University of Western Ontario in London. Throughout, he strived to improve maternal-fetal medicine. Perhaps his drive and inspiration stemmed from his own difficult birth experience.This led to worldwide travels with a fellowship in maternal fetal medicine under the renowned Dr. Caldero Barcia in Montevideo Uruguay in the mid-60s. This experience would be a foundation for life-long research in pre-term pregnancy that impacted many lives, both mothers and babies, that would not have otherwise survived. Author of numerous research papers, medical journal articles, presenting at worldwide conferences all the while actively practicing obstetrics and bringing over 7000 lives into the world including the smallest at 1 lb 10 oz. He was at the vanguard of a new era in high-risk pregnancy and delivery.His expertise in practice and teaching led naturally to development of centres of excellence first at St Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario in the late 1960s, followed by the Tertiary Maternal Care unit at the new McMaster Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario in the 1970s and then at the Tertiary care unit of the Salvation Army Grace Hospital (BC Women's Hospital) in Vancouver in the 1980 and 1990s.Later travelling for teaching conferences and vacation included Denmark, Portugal, Greece, Moscow, Vienna, Uganda, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands and China.Ever searching for a way to improve maternal health, in retirement he was an impetus for teaching missions to Uganda that saw training to improve maternal fetal medicine in rural communities, thereby returning to his parents' missionary roots in eastern Africa.Sid spent his last few years in the Schlegel Riverside Glen Village in Guelph first in retirement care and subsequently in long term care. Many thanks to the administration, especially to Bryce, and the staff for their care, notably Angela, Dawn, and Tara.The celebration of life memorial service will be held on August 10, 2024, in the chapel at Gilbert McIntyre Funeral Home at 11:30 p.m. with visitation at 10:00-11:15 a.m. Reception to follow.Expressions of sympathy can be made as donations to The Salvation Army Guelph Citadel or The Salvation Army Partners in Mission Fund in support of international development efforts or the Wilfred Schlegel Hope Fund for employee assistance.

It is with gratitude for a life well-lived that the family of Dan Cooke of Middle Lake, SK announces his passing, following a long and courageous journey with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. Dan was predeceased by: his parents Carman and Dorothy (Dot); parents-in-law Arnold and Chris Storey; and numerous aunts and uncles. He is lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his wife Dori (Dorothy Storey); their children and families: Anna (Darin) Felstrom and children: Elsa, Trygve, and Stefan; Will (Kim) and children: Louise and George; and Mark; siblings: Diane Wilson, Heather (Gil) Cooke-Penner, Geoff (Deb), Pixie (Graham) Hoffman; sister-in-law Joan (Bill) Egnatoff; special cousins: Lee (Jack) Gibson, and Deirdre (Mike) Franklin; Uncle Bill Cooke; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Dan was born in Saskatoon and was the second of five children. He was raised in Estevan, SK, in a home filled with love and laughter. Dan always spoke fondly of his childhood, the people of Estevan, and his adventures on the Souris River. He moved to Saskatoon to attend university, where he received a Bachelor of Education followed by a Masters Degree in History. During his undergraduate studies he met the love of his life, Dori in a music appreciation class. They married in December 1970, after a whirlwind romance which continued for 53 years. They shared a curiosity about people and the world, which led them to explore many parts of Europe and North America. Dan and Dori also shared a love of family, raising three children together, providing a secure, supportive, and happy home. The couple's joy was complete with the arrival of five bright and lively grandchildren. Dan was a gifted educator who enjoyed his students and his work as a teacher and principal, always trying to inject a bit of fun into the classroom and school environment. He taught in several places in Saskatchewan: Regina, Hazlet, Wolseley, before settling in the RM of Three Lakes where he taught in St. Benedict and Middle Lake for over 20 years. His career as a teacher allowed him to pursue his other two passions: sunbathing on the beach of Lucien Lake and gardening. Dan loved everything about the garden - planning in the winter where the next potato patch should be, watching the seedlings pop through the ground in spring, enjoying the beautiful colours of summer, and harvesting in the fall. Dan was closest to God when he was surrounded by creation. Dan took place in the simple things in life: a sunny day, a fig newton with a cup of earl grey on a rainy day, a ruddy duck on the pond, a good foot rub. He was an avid sportsman, and loved playing, coaching, and watching a wide variety of sports. He was particularly fond of playing basketball and long-distance running. He followed the Riders, Huskies, Blue Jays, Jets and Oilers, and every Olympics. We will remember Dan for his energy, integrity, sharp mind, quick smile, thankful heart, and his poetic sensibilities. Dan was kind, good, and respectful to all. The family is thankful to Dr Iqbal and the Saskatoon Cancer Centre for their attentive care over the last seven years. We also wish to express a deep gratitude to Dr Levick and all the staff of the Humboldt District Hospital for their extraordinary and compassionate care to our parents over the last 100 days of Dad's life. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Saskatoon, SK at 1:00 p.m. Schuler-Lefebvre Funeral and Cremation Services, Humboldt, SK"If joy prolonged life, I would never die" - Dan, August 2022

Late of Cupar, SK. passed away on Wednesday July 17, 2024, at the age of 96. He was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Maria; brothers George and Wilfred; and sisters Katie and Irma. Lawrence is survived by his loving family: wife Mary of 72 years; his children Richard (Brenda) and their children Natasha (Mike), and Ayla (Kevin), Joan (Rob) and their children Nathan (Raya), and Keegan, Glenn (Leanne) and their children Chris and Amanda (Michael) and their children Charlotte and Logan, Ken (girlfriend Brenda) and his children Vaughn and Cadence, Laurie (Todd) and their children Cara and Amber, Jason (Dawn) and their children, Drew (Ellie), Cody (Brooke), Lydia (Jason) and their children Scarlett and Grayson, and Will (Sarah); and brother John (Francis).Lawrence was born on the family farm 12 miles north of Cupar on November 24, 1927. He was raised by his Mother Maria (nee Kayter) and Father Joseph, along with five siblings: Katie, Irma, George, Wilfred and John. He attended Lupescu school until the end of grade 8 when he was taken out to work on the family farm. In his childhood and youth, Lawrence not only worked on the farm, he also helped at the country store and filling station. He always joked about his friends coming by to eat free chocolate bars which destroyed any profits.As a young man, along with his good friend, Ben Thomas, he worked as a wood cutter in Ontario, before coming back to take over the family farm. Shortly after, dad met and married Mary (nee Ollinger) from Arbury in 1951. When asked how they met, he joked "I was going north, and she was coming south".Together they raised six children. Lawrence was a good father. Stern but soft, serious but with a twinkling sense of humor. His sternness was especially on display when it came to work expectations and when each of his kids began to ask to use the family car. But even after gathering the courage to ask for the car, and waiting through his dreaded silence, he rarely said no. But we know he always worried until we got home.Lawrence loved sports and enjoyed watching and travelling with his son's sports teams. He also loved fishing and always looked forward to his summer fishing trips with Bob Solie and others. Although he was never allowed, by his own father, to play cards, he loved playing cards as an adult and spent hours playing with his Cupar friends. Lawrence was great at math and even after his dementia affected his ability to remember events, he still remembered cribbage rules and could count his points faster than his kids.Despite Lawrence's limited formal education, he was remarkably well read and always interested in history and current affairs. He often had his nose in a newspaper or history book and mealtimes were often political discussions.Lawrence had a strong sense of community and never hesitated to help his neighbors. He served on many committees and boards including the Holy Trinity and St Patrick Parish, director on rural telephone company, Councilor and Deputy Reeve with the RM of Touchwood, director on Cupar Central School Board, Cupar Hospital Board, Shalom and was active with the Minor Hockey Association.Lawrence was doggedly determined and a hard worker who grew grain crops, raised animals and contributed to feeding the population over several decades. He was kind, seen by many as a gentle man and had an abiding sympathy for those less fortunate.Lawrence retired from farming, sold the family farm in 2004, and moved to Cupar. He spent the last five years of his life at Shalom in Cupar. We'd like to thank every staff member, who, over these years, had a kind word, respected his needs, joked with him and cared for him with compassion as he went through the indignities that aging with dementia brought. We give our heartfelt thanks for being there for him and for us.Funeral Mass will be held on Monday, July 22, 2024, at 11:00am, at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church, Cupar, SK. Donations in remembrance can be made to Cupar Shalom or St Patrick Catholic Church in Cupar.To leave an online message of condolence please visit www.leefunerals.com

Born August 17, 1933 in St. Louis, Missouri, the only child of Marian Boughner Clark (1986) and John Leland (Lyman) Clark (1963). Beloved husband for 17 years to Janet Denise Finlay. Loving father of Dr. Rebecca Lee Clark (Alan Mairson), Paul Lincoln Clark (Maura Kenneally), Sarah Elizabeth Clark, and stepdaughter soon-to-be Dr. Gwendoline Margaret Finlay Pepper-a.k.a. Greta (Cameron Kelso). Proud grandfather of Emma Clark Mairson, Caleb Clark Mairson, Charles Elipio Clark, and Faith Marie Clark. John will be missed by his sister-in-law Laurie Finlay Lamantia, husband Mark, and nephew Michael as well as his many friends. He was a graduate of Kenyon College, Archon fraternity, in Gambier, Ohio, magna cum laude, with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry (1955). As an alumnus, he was recognized as a leading fundraiser for 50 years. A scholarship endowment has been set up in John's name at Kenyon College, where you may consider giving a donation for ongoing recipients to learn at a place so near and dear to John's heart. After Kenyon, John graduated from the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Divinity (1958); and then the University of Cincinnati with a Masters of Community Planning and PhD in Environmental Health (1970). John began his Episcopalian/Anglican 65-year ministry as Assistant Curate at St. John the Divine in Worthington, Ohio, continuing on as Chaplain at the University of Cincinnati in the 60s while Assistant Pastor at Calvary Church, Cincinnati. He was active in the civil rights movement, marching with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and organizing the concert that brought Joan Baez to the University of Cincinnati. John was a lifelong Democrat. Dr. Clark served as a Public Health Analyst at the Centres for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia in the early 70s. He moved to Canada to work as Senior Statistician from 1974 to 2000 at the International Joint Commission's (IJC) Great Lakes Regional Office in Windsor. From 1975 to 2004, Dr. Clark was Honorary Assistant at All Saints' Anglican Church, Windsor. One Christmas he appeared to the Church School children dressed as Santa Claus. They were convinced he was the real thing and chased him into the church offices where he took refuge. His Santa Claus like appearance disguised a biting sense of humor. John, when amused by a good story, could be reduced to silent laughter with tears streaming down his cheeks and a belly that shook. While predisposed to "stern face" pictures for posterity, it is those moments of gasping unbridled humour that we keep in our memory. From 2004 to 2015, in retirement from the IJC, John was Priest-in-Charge at St. Michael & All Angels Anglican Church in Riverside, Windsor. He was known to be a more than competent preacher. His congregation were like family to him and in his last days, he was moved by their kind notes and visits. John loved reading, especially books on American history, President Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War. He insisted on sharing all that he learned with friends, colleagues, and family. He was known as Johnny Appleseed for the annual trunkful of Essex County heirloom Winesap apples from Simpson Orchards that he delivered for many years to friends and doctors' offices. He let show his romantic side as evidenced by his love of American musicals, motivating him to organize annual trips to the Stratford Festival with family and friends.If you so desire, donations to St. Mary's Memorial Fund, The Salvation Army, The Ontario Heart & Stroke Foundation or The John Leland Clark Scholarship, Kenyon College would be appreciated by the family. The funeral service for the Rev. Dr. John Clark will be held at St. Mary's Anglican Church (1983 Mary's Gate St. Windsor ON. 519-969-5841) on July 26, 2024. Memorial visitation begins in the church at 10:00 am followed by the service at 11:00 with Archdeacon Jane Humphreys officiating. A reception will follow in St. Mary's Hall. You are invited to share fond memories, expressions of sympathy, or make a donation online at www.Familiesfirst.ca

Mountaineer, artist, world traveller, photographer, canoeist, outdoorsman, husband, father, lawyer, Anglican, proud United Empire Loyalist, and wearer of interesting hats and beautiful bow ties, Miles D. O'Reilly died in Kingston, Ontario, in his 90th year, after a fall at home.Born in Toronto, Ontario, the beloved only child of Louise "Babs" Dewar O'Reilly and Miles Breffni O'Reilly, Miles is survived by his cherished wife, Susan; his children, Trish (Shawn), Miles Calder (Janet), Breffni Louise (Michel), Cavan, Caitlin (Adam), and Ciara (Ceasaro); step-children, John, Christopher (Renée), Johanna (Stephen), Martha (Mark), and Alison (Michael); grandchildren, Maggie, Tristen, Alora, Niamh, Viktor, Logan, Jade, Aengus, Aiden, Ellie, Alasdair, Jola, Niran, and Jia; step-grandchildren, Amelia, Madeleine, Hanna, Zachary, Stephen, Skyler, Zachary, and Sean; and former wives, Joan and Carene.Miles studied history and English literature at Trinity College, University of Toronto, and law at Osgoode Hall. After being called to the bar in 1963, he worked at Harries, Houser, Brown and Houlden for 19 years, where he became a partner. Subsequently he served as counsel at various other firms and then worked for a decade as a sole practitioner. A certified Specialist in bankruptcy and insolvency as well as in corporate and commercial litigation, he wrote and lectured extensively in those fields for the Law Society of Upper Canada (now the Ontario Bar Association), the Canadian Bar Association, and others; was a group instructor for the bar admission course; and co-authored two practice guides for advising debtors. Miles was active in various professional organizations, including the Lawyers Club of Toronto, the Toronto Lawyers Association, and the Canadian Bar Association, Ontario. He was awarded the designation Queen's Counsel in 1975.He raised families in Toronto with his first wife, Joan Calder, and in Toronto and Port Hope with his second wife, Carene Smith. And he welcomed step-children and grandchildren as they arrived in his life. Miles loved to pass on his skills and knowledge and embraced the role of mentor not only to his children, step-children and grandchildren but also to countless exchange students and law articling students over the years.Miles's three youngest children spent weeks in the summers travelling with their parents in Canada and the United States to Highland games for dance competitions. He himself played the bagpipes and on his 60th birthday danced the Highland Fling with his daughters. He wore a kilt for ceremonial occasions. While travelling with Sue in Scotland, his kilt and bonnet attracted many tourists asking for pictures!But Miles's passion was for the mountains. He climbed and trekked across mountain ranges on five continents, beginning with his time as a 19-year-old in Alberta. He had the good fortune to find a job as a busboy (later a bellhop) at the CPR hotel Chateau Lake Louise and spent his days off learning climbing skills and lore from a Swiss alpine guide. Eventually, his seven summers in the Canadian Rockies extended to expeditions in the Alps, the Andes, the Caucasus, the Himalayas, the Polish Tatras and the Canadian Arctic's Cumberland Peninsula. Miles was a Life Member of the Alpine Club of Canada.Throughout his life, Miles visited many places in the world, making friends—and putting his facility with languages and his willingness to improvise to good use in Spanish, French, German, or whatever language the moment required. He enjoyed socializing and community connections; he loved encountering new people and could remember those he met—and what they'd talked about—years later. He was fascinated by history, particularly family history/genealogy. He was president for a time of the Kingston Branch, United Empire Loyalists and was proud to have earned the designation UE.Always drawn to the music and liturgy of the Anglican Church, and to the spiritual grounding it gave him, Miles worshipped at St. Mark's Anglican Church in Port Hope, at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Toronto, and—upon finding his Chateau Lake Louise sweetheart, Sue, again, marrying her, retiring from the bar, and moving to Kingston—at St. George's Cathedral.Miles and Sue travelled together, starting with the Camino in Spain, and were able to visit a dozen countries before Miles's health declined.Many good friends and family will long remember Miles for his adventurous spirit and warm smile—and his bow ties.A funeral service will be held on Friday, August 16, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Church of St. George, 270 King Street East, Kingston, Ontario, K7L 3B2.There will also be a gathering for Miles in Toronto on Sunday, August 25, 2024, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Queensway Hall at Royal York Road United Church, 851 Royal York Road, Toronto, Ontario, M8Y 2V3.Miles's ashes will be interred in the family plot at St. James' Cemetery, Toronto.If you wish, memorial donations in Miles's name can be made to St. George's Cathedral (www.stgeorgescathedral.ca).Funeral arrangements entrusted to Robert J. Reid & Sons Funeral Home, 309 Johnson Street, Kingston, Ontario, K7L 1Y6 (613-548-7973). Condolence and service details made or viewed at www.reidfuneralhome.com.

Beloved spouse of Laura (Knowles), his best friend and kindred spirit, through 55 years of marriage. Proud father of daughter Erin (late Chris Coughlin and Granddaughter Lauren-Toronto) and son David (Christine Durocher-Aylmer QC). Predeceased by parents and two siblings. From humble beginnings in Cape Breton, he never lost sight of his desire to attend university and to experience other cultures. Twice, he left high school in order to work to help support his family. Through hard work and determination, he graduated high school at the age of 21, and went to the University of Waterloo to study Sociology. During this period, he met Laura. When he proposed marriage, although he had no money or possessions, he promised to show her the world. He reached his academic goals (M.A. at U of T, and a MSc at the London School of Economics), and attained progressively responsible professional positions in provincial, territorial and federal government departments . He lived in, worked in, or visited all Canadian provinces and territories, and he and Laura did travel the world together. In 2006, he retired from Statistics Canada as a Biostatistician. A prolific researcher, and analyst, he authored more than 60 papers on health-related topics, that were published in respected journals. He consulted with a wide range of other governments and health organizations and presented papers at conferences in the US and Europe. He was recognized in the 1994 Edition of Canada's Who's Who- as an influential Canadian.   He instilled a love of travel in his children, taking them on road trips across Canada and the US, when they were young, and farther afield as adults. Quiet and reserved, he was a voracious reader, lover of classical music, formidable Trivia player, excellent cook of Italian food, and baker of coconut cream pies. He was also a very talented photographer, devoting much of his retirement to photographing wildlife generally and birds in particular. He had a wicked, dry sense of humour and saw the world through a unique lens. He loved animals, particularly cats, probably more than humans. He was a true renaissance man whose legacy will be cherished by all who knew and loved him. The family is grateful for the excellent care that he received while living in Carleton Lodge, and while being treated at Queensway Carleton Hospital. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral. To remember Wayne, take a walk in the woods with your camera and listen for the birds.

He leaves his sister Micheline Babinski (late Richard Babinski), his brother Pierre Robitaille (Francine Ferlatte), his nieces Roxane Babinska and Hélène Robitaille (Dennis Flynn), his nephews, (late) Christian Robitaille and Benoît Robitaille as well as his great-nephews Alice and Arthur. He also leaves his beloved long-time companion, Suzanne Boudreau, who remained by his loving side until the end.  Richard lived most of his adult life in an enchanting setting on the shores of Lake Selby in the Eastern Townships. The location was particularly conductive to providing him with the space to express his artistic soul and satisfy his love of nature. He had an innate sense of aesthetics, loved music, played the guitar passionately, and on occasion, with friends, he played concerts around his neck of the woods. He remained young at heart, had great charisma, loved to laugh and make others laugh and had the quick repartee typical of quick-witted people.   He practiced his profession as a photographer as an art. Among his most memorable photos, some were used to illustrate Canadian stamps, notably the series on Canadian bridges and that of fruit trees. Others intended for the media illustrated famous people from the great filmmaker Norman McLaren to the famous photographer Yousuf Karsh, himself, including media personality Jacques Normand and the singer Marjo.  Unfortunately, in the last years of his life, he was struck by two illnesses in quick succession which ended up taking his life after a long battle in which he showed exceptional courage. Throughout his life, he showed optimism and knew how to enjoy life like the Epicureans. He often said let the good times roll when a happy event occurred. As per his wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral services. Arrangements entrusted to the  Désourdy Funeral Home 101, rue Jean-Besré, Cowansville J2K 0L3 Tel. 450-263-1212 www.desourdy.ca   Donations in his memory to the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca) and/or Parkinson Quebec (www.parkinsonquebec.ca) would be appreciated.

Allowing her to keep in touch with all of her loved ones, it was a true gift for her, she was lost without her iPad. Nobody sent better emojis, memes and gifs than she did. Laura was the best Mom, Sister, Auntie, Grandma, friend, and everything in between. Simply stated, she was LOVE! Every single person she met was touched by her kind and compassionate soul. And if you were a friend, you were family. The most caring and empathetic person, she was always there for others with a big hug ,a kiss or both or simply just to lend a listening ear. Forever supporting and never ever judging, she would forgive you a thousand times if needed. She was over the top generous with her "I love you's", never afraid to let people know how she felt. Her daily messages of love and blessings will be sorely missed by many...Laura lived in various cities in south-western Ontario throughout her life and had many types of jobs through the years. She was known for her home decorating/crafting and gardening skills and was an absolute boss in the kitchen! She loved all kinds of music and loved to dance. There was always music playing in the house no matter the hour. She was always up for a party and especially loved to host them. One of her biggest passions was to put on a huge spread for any occasion really; she created the charcuterie table before it was a thing! Laura's greatest joy was helping, loving, caring and doing for others. Laura rediscovered her Baptist faith in her later years and found comfort in her daily morning devotions. Her faith and prayer gave her strength especially during these last few years as she battled several health issues. No matter how difficult, her faith never wavered. Special thanks to Dr.Logan at the London Heather Sciences Centre who headed up her oncology team, the Ingersoll Senior Centre and Personal Support Workers who assisted Laura through out these last few years, very much appreciated, truly.A celebration of life will be held for Laura Saturday October 5, 2024 at the Oxford County Naval Veterans Association in Woodstock beginning at 2 p.m. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes!

Mar 30, 1960 - Jun 26, 2024

December 1926 - July 2024Sadly, we lost the best mother anyone could ask for on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at the age of 97. She passed peacefully with her family by her side. She will join dad Frank (deceased 1975) in heaven.Mum was predeceased by her Scottish family - father James co*ckburn, mother Bella, sister Jean Tarala (Burt) and brothers Robert co*ckburn (Margaret) and Tom co*ckburn (Margaret).Mum is survived by Jim (Betty Anne), Julie, Tom (Gina), Bonnie (Ed), and Glenn (Debbie) as well as grandchildren Jimmy (Elke), Michelle (Mike), Brent (Brittany), Jeffrey (Deborah), Jewel, and Frank (Kaitlyn), as well as great-grandkids Katherine (Matt), Kyle, Joshua, Nathan, Elliot, and Grayson.Born in the Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland mum was a war bride at the age of 17. Upon emigrating to Canada to be with her husband, she followed him from Rexton, NB to Saskatoon, and finally to Kingston. She pursued a career as a nurse's aide at the Kingston Psychiatric hospital, retiring in 1986.Wee of physical stature, mum was truly the rock of our family. She instilled a firm sense of right and wrong, and practiced a devoted family-first ethic. Her extremely generous nature was driven by a simple principle of wanting to witness the joy her gifts brought, rather than having to wait until her passing for us to receive them. She was very conscious of treating five kids equally - if one got, we all got! Her kind generosity was even extended to the neighbourhood cats, who supplemented their diets with plentiful cat treats.So it's cheerio the noo mum (mums way of ending a conversation) for now - until we meet in the next life.The family wishes to thank the staffs at both the Fairmount Nursing Home and Briargate Retirement Home for their excellent care of our mother.A private funeral service was held on July 19th at Glenhaven Memorial Gardens where she was interred beside our father.

Claire Crooks died at home surrounded by family at the age of 50, following a courageous battle with advanced gastric cancer. Claire would tell us she didn't lose; she just ran out of innings.Claire was the beloved wife and soulmate of George Goodall; adored mom to Findlay ("Finn", 18), Sydney (16), Grady (14), and Matilda ("Tilly", 11); daughter of Art and Mary Jane Crooks (Lethbridge, Alberta); sister to Morgan (Aimee) of Madison, NJ and Hew (Kate) of Fairfield, CT; daughter-in-law to (late) Bill and Betty Goodall of Sault Ste. Marie; sister-in-law to Rhys and Carol Goodall of Toronto; and the "cool" aunt to (late) Charlie, Crawford, Mary, Riley, Andrew, Shaen, and Evan.Born in St. Joseph's Hospital in London Ontario, Claire spent her early years in Pembroke Ontario but grew up mainly in Lethbridge Alberta. Claire traveled to Vancouver Island to attend Brentwood College School, an institution whose informal motto — grit and joy — perfectly matched her approach to life. The friends and experiences gained during her time there were incredibly formative, and it was on a (possibly under-supervised) trip with her Brentwood field hockey team to Bermuda that she first met her future partner George. Claire started a new chapter when she attended Princeton University, finding joy and community in sports like rowing, rugby, and skiing. Princeton gave Claire friends from around the planet, confidence in her emerging identity as a scholar, as well as her life's mission — to improve the emotional lives of children. She returned to Canada for graduate school, earning a Masters and PhD from Queen's University, where she felt fortunate to be supervised by (late) Dr. Ray Peters. Dr. Peters remained a mentor throughout Claire's career, providing a model for how to lead community research, act as a supervisor, and balance the demands of academia and family. While at Queen's, Claire renewed her relationship with George; the two were married in 2000. The couple later moved to Winnipeg for Claire's clinical internship, with plans to continue moving west.Only one thing could keep Claire from moving to the mountains – the opportunity to work with exceptional new mentors. She accepted a post-doctoral position to conduct clinical work with Dr. Peter Jaffe, then at the London Family Court Clinic, and research with Dr. David Wolfe, then at Western University's Centre for Research on Violence Against Women. Claire continued to work with both through her time at CAMH and Western University, where she became a professor in the Faculty of Education. Her focus was to use a data-driven approach to improve youth mental health, with emphasis on the most vulnerable populations including Indigenous and newcomer communities. The cornerstone program that she co-developed (with Drs. Jaffe and Wolfe and educator Ray Hughes) — The Fourth R — has been deployed successfully in over five thousand schools in Canada and around the World. Claire established the Centre for School Mental Health at Western, which became the leading and largest such centre in Canada, and she published numerous books and peer-reviewed articles.Claire was a force of nature, a rare combination of intelligence, energy, humour, and kindness. Her immense professional accomplishments were nevertheless dwarfed by her commitment as a steadfast friend and devoted mom. Claire had many happy places where she loved to spend time with her family, including the cottage on Gloucester Pool and the ski condo at Big White (where, in her memory, we will continue to sing "Thunder Road" while skiing "Born to Run"). Family adventures ranged from RV road trips to the Maritimes, family hiking through atmospheric rivers on Vancouver Island, and ambitious treks to Nepal. Probably the most hours were spent happily in the family's unheated backyard pool, no matter the weather or water temperature – but any place would do for Claire to be there for her kids, with her boundless energy and wicked sense of humour.Shortly before her death, and despite being in overwhelming pain, Claire on June 21 accepted investiture to the Order of Ontario from Lt. Governor Edith Dumont, in a hastily convened ceremony at Victoria Hospital. Following the presentation, Claire somehow rose painfully to her feet and delivered impromptu remarks that were humble, funny, grateful, and hopeful. She then attended her own afterparty. Everyone present was astounded, but nobody who knew her was surprised. According to Claire, "Celebration before sorrow; there will be time for tears tomorrow." Claire will remain an inspiration for all of us on how to live fully and well, and how to die with courage, grace, and dignity.Friends and family are celebrating Claire's life on Friday, July 26 at Western University's Great Hall (Somerville House). A structured ceremony will be held from 4-5 p.m., to be followed by a drop-in reception. All are welcome.Condolences can be shared with Claire's partner George (george.goodall@gmail.com) or at https://harrisfuneralhome.ca.

James Alexander Forsyth, known as Alex, passed away peacefully with his son and daughter by his side on July 12, 2024, at the age of 69 in Kingston, Ontario, after an almost 3-year battle with Alzheimer's. Born on January 6, 1955, in Galt, Ontario, his life was one marked by dedication, love, and an unwavering spirit of service.Alex was the cherished son of Reginald (Sandy) Forsyth and Frances (nee Cameron), and although predeceased by his brother John and sister Sandra, his legacy continues through his loving family. He leaves behind his first and forever love, Teresa Forsyth (Hawkins), his proud son Joe Forsyth and daughter-in-law Katie (Conway), and his adoring daughter Ally Wright (Forsyth) and son-in-law Will Wright. His grandchildren, Ashton, Kayla, Hawkins, and Baby Sprout will miss their grandfather's wisdom and playful spirit.Alex's life was one of service, both on and off the ice. His early years saw a successful OHL career with the Kingston Canadiens and a short professional stint. However, his heart called him back home, where he embarked on a distinguished 33-year career as a Police Officer with the Kingston Police retiring as a Staff Sergeant. His commitment to protecting and serving his community was unwavering, and he retired with the respect and admiration of his colleagues and the community he served.Beyond his professional achievements, Alex was a man who loved structure and routine with many interests and talents. He was a familiar face at the local gym, where he enjoyed staying active and fit. His coffee dates with his daughter were a cherished routine, filled with laughter and deep conversations. Alex also dedicated many years to coaching minor league hockey, where he shared his love for the game and his passion for mentorship with young athletes.Alex's legacy is one of unwavering commitment—to his family, his career, and his community. His ability to lead by example, to offer a kind word or a helping hand, made him a beloved figure to all who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, his stories, and his genuine care for others will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will continue to bring comfort and smiles to those he left behind.As we say goodbye to Alex/Dad/Grandpa/Big Al, we celebrate a life that was rich in experiences and abundant in love. Alex's memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched, and his spirit will continue to inspire us to live with the same passion and dedication that he exemplified. Rest in peace, Alex. Your journey was one of true significance, and your story will be told with admiration for generations to come.Friends and family are invited to drop in for an informal celebration of life scheduled on August 1, 2024 between 3p.m.-7p.m. at the Isabel Bader Centre located at 390 King St W., Kingston.

After retirement, she remained active in her field as a successful consultant to several local and national organizations. Sherrill was a devoted daughter and later a tireless caregiver to her mother Alma. For her children, she was a tiger mom with a big heart. She instilled a strong work ethic at home and invested herself fully in her children's success. She adored her grandchildren and they adored her back. She loved family gatherings the most, whether it was Christmas, birthdays or weekday dinners around the kitchen table. She made a loving home where everyone was welcome. She was passionate about many things, but none more than dogs. She felt a deep affinity with all animals, but especially dogs and four in particular that she cherished. She was also keenly interested in world cultures, history, politics, books, music, films, and the Ottawa Senators. She was never shy to offer her opinions of any topic, and you were welcome to them! Sherrill loved her family and friends deeply and was loved deeply in return. Her legacy is one of love, kindness and perseverance. We thank you and love you, Mom. You are always in your hearts.

Helen died peacefully of a sudden illness on July 16, 2024, in her 98th year, after enjoying the affection and support of her extended family. She was resolute and content at the end.Helen was born in Santa Barbara, California. Her family lived for a time at Hope Ranch in the early days of the subdivision, but the Great Depression soon had a severe effect on the lives of many, including her family, and shaped young Helen's frugal approach to life and strong concern for the environment. After graduating from Occidental College in Los Angeles, Helen travelled as a youth delegate to the first assembly of the World Council of Churches in Amsterdam in 1948, and later to New York City to attend Union Theological Seminary. There she met Donald Mathers, a doctoral student. She and Donald were married in Santa Barbara in 1951, then she accompanied him home to Scotland to meet his family. After two years in London, England, they moved to Kingston, where Donald had been appointed as a professor at Queen's Theological College, and where Helen ultimately lived for the rest of her life.After her arrival in Kingston, Helen gave birth to three sons over seven years, all having birthdays within a week of each other. Apart from her role as a mother, she became a leader in community organizations such as Chalmers United Church and the Orphans' Home and Widows' Friend Society (Sunnyside Children's Centre).Donald's untimely death in 1972, shortly after he was appointed Principal of the Theological College, marked the start of a new chapter of Helen's life. She was soon appointed as the first Director of the Ban Righ Centre at Queen's University and served on the boards of the Theological College, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and the Friends of Lemoine Point. She travelled widely, including to Russia, cruising in the Arctic Ocean and, with her two sisters, retracing the footsteps of their ancestors to the Alaska gold rush.A constant of Helen's life in Kingston was the pleasure she took in the family cottage on the north branch of Buck Lake. She spearheaded the acquisition and subdivision of a tract of land with friends, and for over 50 years was the secretary and treasurer of the organization that holds surrounding property. All of the cottages continue to the present day to be held by families who were originally involved in this project.Helen was well-known for her Halloween "haunted basem*nt" on Kensington Avenue, where she lived for more than 60 years, and for "Open Hut" on New Year's Day at Buck Lake. Her spirit of volunteerism was much in evidence with the CGIT and the UCW, along with countless committees at Chalmers United Church. Helen was creative, encouraging, inquisitive and sometimes unconventional. She took delight in her family. Helen was especially appreciated for her skills as a good listener who was slow to judge. She enjoyed good conversations and was a peerless mother-in-law. There was nothing she liked more than to hike with friends in Frontenac Provincial Park, and yet she was remarkably accepting of her limitations as her age advanced. She was grateful for the good fortune in her life, even though it was well-earned.Helen was predeceased by her parents and three siblings. She is survived by her three sons, James (Anne), Alastair (Mary Jane McDowell) and David (Jillann Rothwell), her six grandsons, Graham (Lindsey Griffith), Robert (Samantha ("Sam") Marshall), Hugh, Alex (Abby Chornous), Ted and Gordon, her great-grandchildren, Rosalind and Benjamin, and her niece and nephew in California, Leslie Neilson and Laird McLain, and their families.A committal service was held for her family before cremation. They are most grateful to the Rev. Don McLean, a lifelong friend, who officiated. The family welcomes all who wish to attend a celebration of Helen's life on Tuesday August 13, 2024 at the James Reid Funeral Home, 1900 John Counter Blvd., Kingston, Ontario. The family will receive guests beginning at 1:00 p.m. Please arrive before 2:00 p.m. for the celebration of life. The event will be streamed live through the funeral home's website and a recording will be available afterwards. A reception at the funeral home will follow the celebration of life.Helen's family expresses their thanks to the staff of the Waterford retirement residence, where she lived after leaving Kensington Avenue, and to the staff of the emergency department and Davies 4 at the Kingston General Hospital site, who cared for Helen in her final days. Those who wish to honour Helen's memory with a donation might consider Chalmers United Church (https://chalmersunitedchurch.org/donate/), the Ban Righ Centre (https://www.givetoqueens.ca/page/view/86/476) or one of the funds supporting the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (https://cataraquiconservation.ca/pages/donations).

CAMPBELL, Marita Anni Miriam (nee Kohtala) Forever and one day began Friday, July 5, 2024, when Marita Anni Miriam Campbell was promoted to Glory. We remember a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved with a mother's devotion and who is now, once again, one with Reg: her husband of sixty-seven years.Marita enjoyed swimming, cross-country skiing, knitting, cooking, doing laundry, and attending church. Active until her last moments; diligent, faithful, and concerned with sharing who Jesus was, is and will be.A born-again Christian. That's Marita Campbell (nee Kohtala).Leaving behind five children, two sons-in-law, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, Marita persevered til the end because she knew Jesus Christ personally; her Lord and Saviour. Dedicated to her career with Royal Bank, she was good with numbers and clients, helping Timminites secure mortgages, so others could find a home; a loving home.We miss her laugh, love, biblical teaching, prayers, example, listening ear, soft heart, warm hands, and turkey dinners. Her gravy was top-shelf. We grieve with certainty because when Almighty God makes a promise, he fulfills every word; turning mourning into joy, deserts into rivers, and forests into roads.Jesus said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

November 20, 1944 - July 18, 2024Jeremy died as he lived, tenacious and determined to the last - qualities that served him well as he blazed a trail through life.He was born towards the end of WWII in Tonbridge, England, to Jean Evelyn Elsie (Nichol) and Alastair McMurdo McNeil of St. John's, Newfoundland. The family moved back to Newfoundland in 1945, and Jeremy spent a happy childhood in Corner Brook, before returning to England for his schooling. He attended Lancing College in West Sussex, where he was known more for his sporting prowess - representing the school at cricket, swimming and fencing - than his intelligence.Jeremy returned to Canada for his further education, graduating with an Honours degree in Zoology from The University of Western Ontario in 1969 and a PhD in Entomology from North Carolina State University in 1972,where he won the outstanding graduate award. He accepted a position in the Biology Department at Université Laval in Quebec City, teaching his courses in French - completely belying comments by his teachers at Lancing Collegewho noted at the time that Jeremy's ability in science did not match his enthusiasm, and that he had no talent for languages.In 2004, after 30 years at Laval, Jeremy returned to Western as The Helen Battle Professor of Chemical Ecology, a position he held until his death. In 2014, Jeremy received the Distinguished University Professor Award for his contributions to Western.He was recognised internationally as an eminent research scientist, publishing hundreds of papers, holding many positions of distinction and receiving countless accolades and awards. These include, among many others, President of the Royal Society of Canada, the Humboldt Research Fellowship in Germany, and the Order of Canada for his services to education.He was a passionate and enthusiastic educator his whole life, an ambassador equally at ease with everyone from VIPs to children. He received several national awards for his outreach activities, often saying the publication that he was most proud of was What is an Insect, a children's book he co-wrote with Let's Talk Science which has been translated into five languages, and is used as a teaching aid in schools across Canada.Jeremy was known as The Bug Man and was rarely seen without one of his trademark insect-related tee shirts - he had over 500 of them which are to be catalogued and sold to raise money for charity. He was a world traveller, and amassed an art (and mask) collection from the countries he visited, was a passionate photographer with a quirky eye, and a fabulous gardener. Many have benefitted from his generosity, and many more have enjoyed his wry wit,quick mind and ready humour. He was a great conversationalist and raconteur, and never lost an opportunity for sharing a bottle or several of good wine from his cellar.Jeremy will be missed dearly by his partner Shelley Yeo, sons Jamie (Hanh) and Chris (Karly), grandchildren Morgan and Connor, sister Deborah (Mike), and Shelley's daughter Rebeca Morrison (Glenn Young) and grandchildrenEma and Luc. Jeremy's passing will also be felt by his extended family, and by countless friends and colleagues from around the globe.Details for a celebration of Jeremy's life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Let's Talk Science www.letstalkscience.ca, St Joseph's Hospice of London, www.sjhospicelondon.com, or to a charity of your choice.Memories and condolences may be left at www.funeraloptions.ca

Kenneth Reginald Campbell, known by friends as "Tootie", fell asleep peacefully on March 20, 2024. For over nine decades, he lived as a Son, Brother, Uncle, Friend, Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, but most importantly, he was a born-again Christian.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our dear mother, Janet Elaine (Clark) Dorbyson, who passed away peacefully at the Saint John Regional Hospital on July 17, 2024, with the love of her family surrounding her. She was born in Chatham, NB, on February 11, 1948, to the late George and Marjorie (Carruthers) Clark.Elaine was a natural born caregiver. She started training as a nurse after high school but didn't complete her training because she became something she wanted to be more, a mom. Family was important to Elaine whether it was her little family in Saint John or her parents and brothers in Miramichi. She loved them all fiercely. Her entire world was her children and grandchildren, and each person had a unique bond with her that was entirely their own. She was creative and crafty – knitting and crocheting- but she was best known for her quilts. She had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and shared that sense of humour with her daughters. They always said that if she "wasn't chasing Melissa with the yard stick then she was quilting with it". Elaine's house was never quiet but always filled with family and friends as often as possible, playing cards or just sharing a meal and an evening of laughter. Elaine was an independent and fiesty person but also was giving and loving. She couldn't stand the idea of someone going without so she would give anything she had, even a room in her house, to those in need, she was just that caring. Elaine left this world far too soon but leaves behind a legacy of people who will love her and miss her forever.She is survived by her daughters, Andrea Dorbyson, Melissa Paradis (Michael Morris) and chosen daughter, Viola Ford; her 5 grandchildren, Sarah, Kenneth, Stephanie, Brenden, Nickolas; 3 great-grandchildren, Aria, Blake and Lennon; her brothers, Kenneth (Gay) and Wesley Clark; as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Robert Clark.Arrangements are entrusted to Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (506-646-2424). In keeping with Elaine's wishes, cremation will take place and funeral services will be held at a later date.

August 12, 1926 – July 17, 2024On July 17, 2024, 26 days short of her 98th birthday, we sadly bid farewell to our mother Peggy (Buckley) Martin, daughter of the late Robert (Bob) and Alma (Gaudet) Buckley. She was born August 12, 1926 in Summerville, Mass and in 1932 moved with her family to Quispamsis, NB.She was the eldest of six children and enjoyed the life of a farmer's daughter. She loved to spend her time sharing memories of her early years and felt it was important for her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to understand and value their heritage.Peggy was not a mother just to her 7 children, but cared for so many others she encountered in her life. No one was exempt from her gentle generosity; it extended far past our immediate family, neighbors and relatives. Acquaintances quickly and easily evolved into treasured friendships with Peggy. It was natural for her to move into the role of caregiver and nurturer effortlessly.Even with her busy life, Peggy found time to volunteer in her community tirelessly. She was an active member of the CWL in the parish of St. Mark's and Our Lady Churches. She served many years with the Meals on the Wheels program and the Hampton Food Bank. Her most rewarding achievement would have to be her many years of service with Saint John Ambulance. She and her sister Hope, joined in 1976 with the Quispamsis Volunteer Ambulance where they served for 20 years. They were honoured as Serving Sisters and received the Service Medal of the Order of Saint John. She was proud of her Certificate of Appreciation under the New Brunswick Branch of the United Nations Association of Canada for outstanding volunteer work with the Town of Quispamsis. Most recently her involvement with the Hampton Seniors Resource where she enjoyed working the door.The priorities of Peggy's life were family, faith, and friends. Our mother paid attention to the simple things, they were what mattered. She wasn't materialistic or showy, she was calm, caring, and loving. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially Christmas dinners and Birthday celebrations at the family camp in Deadman's Harbour, mostly being with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all together. She spent her days knitting socks for her family making sure even the tiniest feet received her love. Although it was difficult to leave her family home, the community she joined at Ossekeag Place in Hampton quickly created strong new friendships and a cherished new chapter in her life. Our family will be forever grateful for the kindness and the friendship they have shared with our mother.Peggy is survived by her children: Jim (Nancy), Pat Bielli, Lynn Sparks (Sean), Mike (Rose), Judy, Paula Cullinan (Brian), Dean (Kathy); grandchildren: Mike, Caleb, Carrie, Jack, Stewart, Julie, Craig, Bill, Bruce, Jim, Shane, Paula, Evan, Marcos, Ali, Greg, Justin, David, Ryan, Luke, and Molly and her youngest blessings of 23 great-grandchildren; her brother Bob Buckley (Muriel) of Quispamsis and sister Hope Jones (Garth) of Quispamsis.Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Paul, sisters: Lolly Chamberlain, June Russell, and Betty McLaughlin; infant grandson Benjamin Martin; sons-in-law John Bielli and David Henry.Sincere thanks to all the staff of the Saint John Regional Hospital.

Nobby died on June 30, 2024, at the age of 86, after a long struggle with diabetes related health challenges. He is survived by his loving wife, Liz Sakiyama, his brother and sister-in-law, Butch and Marilyn Sakiyama, many nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews. Nobby was preceded by his siblings Alice, Toshiye, Peggy, Allan, and Joy. After attending Richmond High School, Nobby was the first of his family to graduate from UBC, and became a Math and Physics teacher at North Delta Senior Secondary School. It was through a teachers' curling league that he met Liz. Together for almost four decades they enjoyed golf in the summer, curling in the winter, and the companionship of many friends. Nobby retained life-long friendships with his weekly coffee buddies, friends from university, high school, and elementary school days. One of Nobby's neighbours teasingly called him the mayor of Richmond Street. It took forever to take even a short walk around Steveston since there were so many friends to visit with. Nobby was delighted to be the Honorary Parade Marshal of the Steveston Salmon Festival in 2017. In earlier years Nobby often helped his older neighbours by shovelling snow on their driveways and moving their garbage bins. More recently, his wonderful neighbours helped him, often shovelling snow from their driveway before Nobby and Liz were up. Steveston is a special community. Possibly because they didn't have any children of their own (aside from all those children they taught over the years), Nobby was very close to his nieces and nephews, and watched with great interest as the next two generations flourished. Nobby is survived by his loving wife, Liz Sakiyama, who provided unrelenting care and support for him in his last several years, supported by his brother Butch and sister-in-law Marilyn. Particular thanks for Nobby's excellent care go to his many doctors and care givers, including Dr. A. Horii, Dr. K. Gill, Dr. J. Guo, and, at the very end, Dr. Smith and his team at Richmond General Hospital's Emergency Ward. The staff at Minoru Residence took wonderful care of Nobby for the last four months, and worked with Liz to ensure that he received all of the care that he needed. Ana's Home Care team have provided excellent support over the past two years. Flowers and Koden are gratefully declined. Donations to the Steveston Buddhist Temple or the Richmond Food Bank are much appreciated. A Memorial Service will be held for Nobby on August 3, at 11a.m. at the Steveston Buddhist Temple, 4360 Garry Street, Richmond.

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Fred Bartels, just shy of his 95th birthday. Fred was predeceased by his eldest son Ernest in 1998, and leaves behind his beloved wife Charlotte, children Jim, Karin (Randy) and Ron (Elaine), nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Fred was born July 19, 1929 in Hanover, Germany, growing up in difficult times during the World War. At the age of 15 he pursued an education in Diesel Engine Mechanics. By age 22, with new knowledge and determination, he embarked on a journey to Canada in 1951. Fred began his career working on the Trans Mountain Pipeline in B.C. He made frequent trips back to Germany to visit family and friends. During one of these visits, he met Charlotte, the love of his life. On May 5, 1954, Charlotte arrived in Halifax by ship, and was met by Fred who drove across Canada to greet her. They married that same day, starting a remarkable 70-year life together. Fred and Charlotte settled in Edmonton, purchasing a home, where they raised their four children. Fred's busy career as a Heavy Duty Mechanic in the oil and pipeline industry often took him away from home, but nevertheless he prioritized family time. The family enjoyed countless picnics, camping, and fishing trips throughout Alberta and B.C. The most memorable family adventure was for three long months in the summer of 1966, driving their 1965 Ford 'Woody' Country Squire Station Wagon across Canada to Halifax. Both the family and their car embarked on a ship voyage across the Atlantic to visit with family and explore Europe. From 1956 to 1975 Fred contributed to the construction of the Trans Canada Pipeline, stretching from Alberta to Montreal. In 1975, during the Alaska Pipeline project, he designed and built the world's largest ditch-digging machine, while working for Banister Pipelines. His ingenuity earned him three patents, and one of his machines was proudly displayed at the Calgary Oil Show in 1978. In retirement Fred and Charlotte became avid golfers, joining the Riverside Seniors Golf League. They traveled with friends throughout Alberta and B.C. golfing, camping and creating lasting memories. Fred's pride in his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was unwavering. He leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication and innovation. His work on Earth is done, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.Love always and forever. A Memorial Service will be held at Hainstock's Funeral Home, 9810 - 34 Ave, Edmonton, on Sunday July 21, 2024 at 2 p.m. followed by a luncheon and fellowship.

1951-2024It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of our husband, Dad and Papa, Ken Fawcett.Kenneth Leslie Fawcett passed away, surrounded by his loving family, on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, in Regina, Saskatchewan, following a long battle with Lewy Body disease. Ken is survived by his wife of 49 years, Judy, and his three children – Kylee (Kevin) Lang, Kelsey (Jeff) Piercy, Chad (Jena) Fawcett; nine grandchildren – Brendan, Adam, Grace and Olivia Lang; James, Anna and Sammy Piercy; Payton and Connor Fawcett. He is also survived by his sister Heather Giroux; brothers Gord (Cecilia) and David (Lynn); brother-in-Law Ron (Cathy) Robison; and numerous nieces and nephews. Ken was predeceased by his father Les, his mother Ethel, and his sister Lois.Ken was born in Dodsland, Saskatchewan on April 4, 1951. He was raised in rural Saskatchewan communities before moving to Thunder Bay (Port Arthur), Ontario in 1961. Ken's family next moved to Indian Head in 1966, where he first met Judy. Whether he was roping calves with the 4H club or riding his horse Ginger, Ken loved his days on the farm. His summers were spent working on the Ramsay farm outside Indian Head, and his school days either playing the trumpet in the school band, camping with the Boy Scouts, or playing hockey and football, where he helped lead the Indian Head High School Broncs football team to a provincial championship his first year on the team. After high school, Ken enrolled at the University of Saskatchewan where he completed a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology in 1973, which he followed with a year at the University of Regina pursuing a degree in Education. His university summers were spent mending fences in Cypress Hills, working as a brakeman for CN Rail out of Edmonton and hitchhiking to Katepwa Lake to spend his weekends near Judy. After undergrad, Ken spent three years teaching – one at Limerick High School and two at Thom Collegiate in Regina, where he was very involved in the outdoor Ed program and made a number of friends that would last a lifetime. He married the love of his life on June 30, 1975.Following his teaching years, five years with the Government of Saskatchewan's Department of the Environment, and after building a house with the help of his friends and father, Ken entered the MBA program at the University of Western Ontario's School of Business Administration. Not long after graduating from the MBA program, Ken accepted an offer to join the Rydberg Levy Group as employee number 11. Over the course of a 26-year career, he would help turn what would become RLG International into a global management consultancy, serving as its President from 2002 to 2006. Ken left RLG in 2011 forever proud of the business he helped build, and with a deep love for his partners, who he would not have wanted to do it without. During this period, he also served on the Board of Directors of the Regina Exhibition and the Athol Murray College of Notre Dame in Wilcox, SK, and particularly enjoyed his time with the Regina Forum, a group of local business entrepreneurs who shared best practices in a social setting for many years.A long-time resident of Regina, Ken loved spending time with family and friends at their summer cottage at Katepwa Lake, SK and their winter home at Wailea Point, on Maui. He was also always passionate about his golf game. Whether he was playing Pebble Beach with his RLG partners, or 9 holes at the Katepwa Golf Club with his family and neighbours, the game brought him true joy. He was a long-time member of the Wascana Golf Club in Regina and the King Kamehameha and Wailea Golf Clubs on Maui. Ken always jumped at the opportunity to live life. Be it the gold medal game at the Vancouver Olympics, the 2016 Masters, the 156th Boat Race in London, or any number of his other adventures, Ken would never miss an opportunity to take advantage of an opportunity. He loved ice cream, fishing, hunting, gardening, walking, skiing, boating, a heartfelt toast, and, above all, music. Those who knew Ken knew of the passion and love he had for music – he made sure it followed him wherever he went.Throughout their 49 years together, Ken and Judy were a team in every sense of the word. Raising their family together was of the utmost importance to them, and their children and their respective accomplishments were an incredible source of pride. They also loved to travel. Whether it was with work, with kids, or just with each other, they made every trip special and were always excited to plan the next one.Words cannot express the pain Ken's family feels right now, but they take great solace in knowing that their husband, Dad and Papa is in a better place. His positive outlook and resilience were an inspiration to his family and all who knew him. He lived his life bravely, with wit, grace, kindness, patience, and integrity, and greeted every person he met with a firm handshake, a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye.The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at College Park II Care Home in Regina and the medical staff at the General and Pasqua Hospitals in Regina. The family would also like to extend special thanks to the Palliative Care team at the Pasqua Hospital, as well as to Dr. Fernando Pagan, Dr. Stephen Bester, Dr. Peter Van Rooyen, Dr. Jim Carter, Dr. Bob Cameron and Dr. John Alport for their dedication and care.
