Jun 12, 1932 - Feb 22, 2024It is with great sorrow and love that we say goodbye to our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and cherished human being Anne Murray, on February 22nd, 2024.Anne loved books, opera, being outside, and most of all, her five daughters. Born Anna Margaret Murray June 12th, 1932, in Parry Sound, Ontario, to Patrick James Murray and Marguerite Elizabeth Murray. Anne met James Coulter McIntosh when she was 16 and three years later, they married on December 1st, 1951. Life was financially tough as Jim struggled to found the National Youth Orchestra, write for Front Page Challenge, start an arts magazine-Performing Arts Canada-and to raise their growing family. They lived for a time year-round on the Georgian Bay in a house without indoor plumbing. Despite the physical and financial hardship, they found joy in the musicians and artists who brought beauty into their lives. They moved to BC in 1970. Anne started working as a secretary for the United Way and became an early feminist. She was progressive in her politics and believed in treating everyone with respect and kindness. She was open to new ideas and accepting of others. She enjoyed working outside the home and made great friends. She and Jim later divorced, but they remained amicable, continuing to care for the family together and in time, celebrating holidays and major life events. Anne met the love of her life, Basil Robinson. They married on December 21st, 1982. He introduced her to tennis, which she loved! They spent many good times at the Jericho Tennis Club, making lifelong friends. She loved playing tennis and when she could no longer do that, she loved watching and talking about it. Her favourite player was Rafael Nadal, and she was always up for a great discussion about why he was the best. She and Basil loved travelling, frequently going to Hawaii as well as Europe, caravanning with friends. She became a grandmother to 9 whom she adored, Shannon (Chad), Maryanne (Matt), predeceased by Jordan (Shandiss), Kimberley, Matthew, Luke, Taylor, Spencer, and Kate and later a great grandmother to four, Emma, Liam, Grady, and Ava. Her family meant everything to her, and she meant everything to them. She was a wonderful grandmother, full of love and delighting in her grandchildren, always a big supporter of their sports, adventures, and artistic endeavours. She died at home with dignity, surrounded by her five daughters, Heather Larson, Cindy McDonald (Cameron), Suzanne McIntosh, Michele Stark, (Rob) and Leslie Reilly (Chris). She will live on in our hearts forever. Her kindness, her smile, her gentleness, and her wisdom will be missed. We are grateful for you Mom. We love you so much. Love never ends.

From a newsworthy dance career at a young age to the head cashier at her father's store at the age of ten, graduating from high school before the age of 16, and running a successful family business with her husband, she leaves a legacy that will not be forgotten. Evelyn was happiest when her home was full of friends and family. With decorations for every occasion and an elaborate magazine dinner on the table. She could always be counted on to answer the phone and lend an ear when you needed to talk. She will forever be remem-bered for knitting sweaters for her grandchildren, her uncon-ditional love, and willingness to help wherever needed. Our comfort lies in knowing she is reunited with the love of her life following 70 years of marriage. Our sincere thanks to the staff at the Gardens for the amazing care they provided.

1939 - 2023Sandra Joan Johnson passed away at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, after complications from lung cancer, at the age of 83. Sandy is survived by her husband Terry of 61 years, her children Susan Davidson (Carlos), Michael (Sandra) and Samantha Woitzik (Greg), and grandchildren Matt, Ben, Alex, and Nathan. Sandy was born in Niagara Falls, moved to the Abitibi Canyon with her parents and eventually to Scarborough where she attended U of T and graduated as a Physio/Occupational Therapist. Sandy met Terry at a POTS dance in 1959 and they were married in November 1961 prior to moving to Rugby England where Sandy worked as a physiotherapist at St. Cross Hospital. Sandy and Terry travelled all over Europe on their holidays for two years and moved back to Toronto in December 1963. Their three children were born in Toronto in 1966, 1970, and 1972. Sandy worked as a physiotherapist at a private clinic for 10 years until the family moved to Harrisburg Pennsylvania where they took part in the celebrations for the U.S. bicentennial in 1976. Terry's job then took them to Glasgow, Scotland, where they lived in the suburb of Lenzie, Kirkintilock. The family travelled around the U.K. and to France and Portugal. In 1980. their friend Bob Bach told them of a bankrupt marina for sale on Lake Joseph, Muskoka. Terry flew over to check it out and in a telephone call, Sandy's advice was "if you think we should buy it, buy it". Sandy immediately took a bookkeeping course so she could look after the financial responsibilities for the marina. After three years she hired a replacement and returned to her first love of physiotherapy at the Parry Sound Hospital. Eventually Sandy took courses to become a pediatric occupational therapist working with children for Home Care. The marina dictated that holidays had to be taken in the winter - because of this, Sandy and Terry got hooked on sailing in the Caribbean thanks to John and Ruth Shipman from Sound Boat Works. They sailed for 30 years with Sandy, first mate looking after everything but the boat rental and the flights. After living at Hamer Bay Marine for 40 years, Sandy had become a pillar of the community with a host of close friends in MacTier and Parry Sound. With affection, she will be sadly missed. A Celebration of Sandy's Life will be held at Tailwinds Restaurant (11A Bay Street, Parry Sound) on Saturday, May 13th between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. All friends are invited to attend.

Peacefully on March 14, 2023 at the age of 89 years at the Palliative Care Unit of Bluewater Health. Predeceased by his beloved wife Angela (2019) and by his daughter Zoe (2010). Survived by his son John (Barb) and his son-in-law Craig (Cindy). Proud grandfather of Angus, Sarah, Fiona, and Heather. Survived by his sister Margaret (Martin). Born in South Shields, England, Iain was primarily raised in Scotland, graduating from the University of Glasgow with a medical degree in 1957. After two years of adventures in the British Royal Navy, he married Angela in 1960. Within a few years, the family moved from England to Scotland where Iain practised medicine with his father. In 1967, the Baxters moved to Canada with the intent of a two year overseas experience. However the friendships they developed in Parry Sound and his love of their new country ensured they never left. Blanchette Island, their Georgian Bay retreat, was a place where he could indulge in his love of boating and the water. Over the years as his family grew to include grandchildren, it became a special gathering place. In 2006, he and Angela moved to Sarnia to be closer to family. Through both his church and other activities, he quickly found a community here and was able to continue his appreciation of water with a fantastic view of both the river and the lake. Many thanks to Dr. MacSweeney, Dr. Crombeen, Dr. Lilly, and the palliative care staff for their exemplary care. Family and friends will be received at Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia on Sunday, March 19, 2023 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The funeral will be held at Smith Funeral Home on Monday, March 20, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph's Hospice, St. Giles Presbyterian Church, or to the charity of your choice (cheques only at the funeral home please).

July 4, 1958 to Feb 24, 2023Gramma, momma, and retired teacher Kelly Hannon lost a short, but courageous battle with cancer at the age of 64. Her final moments were spent surrounded by her loved ones, who will keep her spirit alive by practicing patience, kindness, and courage in their every day lives. Kelly had a love for learning, in particular, early childhood education. After raising her own children, Kelly returned to the classroom as a grade 1 teacher. There, she left a legacy of literacy, teaching hundreds of children the gift of reading and writing. When not in the classroom, she could usually be found curled up on a chair reading a good book or enjoying a walk in nature with her devoted husband. Kelly was a spiritual mentor, and provided guidance to many new parents as they navigated the early days of parenthood. Her legacy will live on through the wisdom she passed on. Kelly's greatest joy was her grandchildren, and she showed the same devotion as a grandmother as she did as a mother. Her grandkids loved spending time with gramma playing pooh sticks, baking cookies, singing songs, and listening to stories. Each moment spent with gramma was filled with love. She was a courageous protector to those she loved, but it was her gentle nature and calming energy which she was known best for. Kelly will be so deeply missed by her husband Paul, her children Christopher (Stephanie), Justin (Kerry-Lee), Meagan (Wilson), and her grandchildren June, Elsie, Harry, Abigail and Hugo. A Celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada at www.cysticfibrosis.ca.

It is with great sadness that the family of Hazel Wager (nee Ladd) announces her passing at the age of 86. Hazel passed away peacefully, with her family and good friend at her side on February 21, 2023. Beloved wife of the late John (Jack) Wager. Predeceased by her parents Edwin and Bertha Ladd (nee Brear). Loving sister to Lenard Ladd and his wife Darlene. Cherished aunt to DeeDee Fisher and her husband Calvin. Dear great-aunt to Colby and Madison Fisher. Hazel grew up on the Ladd family homestead on the Magnetawan River near Maple Island. She adored all animals whether farm, wild, or her precious pets. Growing up, she said her happiest times were spent in the barn tending to the animals, particularly the baby lambs. Hazel always had a special way with animals as if they sensed her gentle soul and caring nature. Hazel's first job was in the cookery at Camp Ak-O-Mak in Ahmic Harbour. A few years later, she met and married Jack Wager. From then on, she was a devoted house wife and home maker but never shied away from work. Throughout her life, she did plenty of outside work such a cutting the grass, snow-blowing the driveway and handling firewood. Hazel and Jack were not blessed with children, so pets became their family. Many birds, rabbits, dogs, and a cat were fortunate to be raised and cared for by Hazel in her adult life. She became particularly fond of the Samoyed breed of dog and had at least four of these beautiful white dogs throughout her life. Hazel and Jack lived a simple life and did not yearn for anything beyond that. Aside from their home on Highway 124, they spent almost every weekend at their cabin at Maple Island. Winter did not deter them from going to the cabin and they would snowshoe or snowmobile in to get there each weekend. Eventually, Jack's health began to decline and they sold their treasured cabin. He passed away in 2006 and Hazel spent the next 16 years living independently along with her last pets, Becky the dog and then Tootsie the cat. It was later in her life that Hazel met Kathy Loch. Though there was a difference in their ages, they formed a connection through their shared stories of life and their passion for animals. A friendship ensued and Hazel considered Kathy a very special friend. Hazel was also lucky to have two wonderful neighbours for over 60 years. Jessie and her husband Wayne Crisp, and Tim Gapp lived and grew up across the road and became an important part of her life at Badger's Corners. The family would like to thank Dr. Anderson and the staff in Acute Care and the Palliative Unit at West Parry Sound Health Centre, for their compassion and care of Hazel during her short time there. As per Hazel's request, cremation arrangements are entrusted to the Logan Funeral Home (705-746-5855) 81 James Street, Parry Sound, Ontario. A private service and interment will be held at the Maple Island Cemetery later this spring. If desired, sympathy donations can be made to the Canadian Wildlife Federation and the West Parry Sound Health Centre. To send an online condolence, please visit www.logansfuneralhome.com

On January 29th, at the age of 58, in her home surrounded by friends and family who she loved deeply, Marylou drifted peacefully onto her next big adventure. Marylou will be forever missed by Rob Hargan, her husband and adventure partner, in both life and business, for more than 30 years. She will continue to be cherished by her daughters, Sarah and Rachael, whom she could not have loved more or been more proud of, and Becky Carveth, her daughter-in-law who came into the family like a perfect puzzle piece. And, of course, her dad, who she loved so dearly, Louis Balicki. Marylou will be greatly missed by her brother Andy Balicki, sister Julie (Balicki) Wright, and their partners Carrie Vanloon and Gord Wright, as well as by her nieces and nephews, and their partners, whom she truly loved as though they were her own. Marylou is off to reunite with her beloved mother, Margaret (Calder) Balicki. Marylou will never be forgotten by the friends who she held as close as family; Kerrie (Denhertog) Nicksy, Kelly and Cameron Bowie, Gary and Yvonne Maloney, Corey Carlisle, Kim Mann and Cindy Jutras.Marylou spent her early years roaming around Dunchurch, Ontario, getting into all kinds of harmless fun until the street lights came on each night, popping into the L&M General Store, owned by her parents, whenever refreshments were needed. Kerrie, who from these days forward never waivered from her spot as life-long-best-friend, was never far behind! After losing their home to a fire, the Balicki family relocated to Parry Sound in '79, where Marylou attended highschool and forged more lifelong friendships. Heading to Toronto for her post secondary education in Business, Marylou began her career in sales and worked as Vice President of Marketing for a major sign making company with distribution throughout Canada. The stars aligned when a wandering Irish man found himself in the same Country Western bar as Marylou in the summer of '87. Stunned by her beauty Rob asked Marylou to dance, only to be told no! In the weeks that followed Rob resigned that a friendship with this magnetic beauty was better than nothing, and continued to hang around with Marylou's group of friends. One day Marylou watched through a window as Rob played with some kids in the back yard of a friend's house, and the rest was history. It is unsurprising that this is the moment that won Marylou's heart over when one reflects on the type of parents that both Marylou and Rob were to their daughters. It would have been impossible for them to have taken their job as mom and dad more seriously, or to have offered any more of themselves to the role. As a young couple, never shying away from a challenge or adventure, Marylou and Rob traveled from coast-to-coast selling newspapers door to door. Convoying through the rockies, chatting to one another and devising vehicle passing strategies through their CB radios. With the birth of Sarah and Rachael, Marylou and Rob wondered what was next for their growing family, and surprised everyone by opening a lawncare company in Sudbury, ON, a place then reminiscent of the moon with its sparse vegetation and smooth bald rock faces. Together with Rob's unwavering persistence and determination, and Marylou's famous savviness, the two built multiple successful businesses which employed hundreds of people over the years, gave back to the local community at any opportunity that was presented, and built a life Marylou was very proud of. Marylou never missed an opportunity to sit someone down in her office who needed support or advice, and just as freely never missed an opportunity to make someone smile or laugh with her (usually just a toe past the line) sense of humor. In more recent years, Marylou found a great love for pottery, and spent many days and nights fostering her creative spirit and creating works of art that will forever be cherished by the many loved ones she so freely doled out gifts to. Marylou cherised her summers with neighbors, friends, and family at her cottage, built for her by Rob, on the shores of Lake Manitou, Manitoulin Island. There was no one more warm, more inviting, and more lively than Marylou when she saw someone coming down the laneway; sure to be greeted by a cheerful "come on in!". While we have tried our best, it remains apparent that Marylou, in her essence and brilliance, can not be reduced to words. She was, and is, so magnificently a million important things to so many people. There will never be a whippoorwill's song, Law and Order 'DUN DUN', or bold bright and beautiful laughter that doesn't draw her memory in.If you wish to honor Marylou's memory, we ask that you do what she did best; never leave anyone wondering how much they mean to you. And, if there is a smoker in your life, please encourage them to participate in the annual Ontario Lung Screening Program by asking their family doctor for a referral. You will be grateful that you did. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made in Marylou's honor to the Northern Cancer Foundation, where Marylou made her mark, as she always did, and received such wonderful care over the last year and a half. Celebration of life will be held in Sudbury, ON, at the Idylwylde Golf and Country Club on February 18th at 12 pm, Words of Remembrance beginning at 1 pm. Remote attendance will be possible through Zoom, please contact the family for the link

It is with deep sorrow and boundless love that we mourn the passing of Wayne Edward Scriver of Bewdley, who passed away at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on January 26th at age 75, surrounded by his doting family. Affectionately known as Papa, (or Papa the butt-kicker to tykes having a quarrelsome day) Wayne possessed a heart of gold and an uncanny and infectious ability to find joy in the mundane, brightening others lives with his presence, and maybe a ribald song or two. Whether hunting deer or rebuilding a carburetor, he was closer to a master than a jack of all trades; always quick to offer advice and a helping hand with any project imaginable. Possessed of a fountain of knowledge and a reservoir of seemingly endless wisdom, when Papa was around; it was not "hey google" that was asked, but "hey Papa?" He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Wendy; his children: Michelle, Shannon and JD; sisters: Glenna (& Warren) Lamondin, and Perri-Anne (& Paul) Ladouceur, as well as a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, grand/great-grandchildren and dear friends. Wayne was predeceased by his parents, Barbara (Johnson) and Perry Scriver, and his brother Warren of Nobel.A celebration of life will be held in the spring.

James William Smith passed away peacefully on January 28, 2023. Age 97 years. Survived by his loving wife of 70 years, Evelyn, along with their three sons, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He always opened his heart to spouses and partners, making them feel as though they were his own. Jimmy was adored by everyone who was blessed to have known him in his long and happy life as a great athlete, hard worker, and successful entrepreneur. Never one to turn down a brandy, he was happiest when surrounded by family with Glen Miller on the stereo. Jimmy was known for his love for sunny days on Clear Lake, a round of golf with his grandchildren and his unwavering faith in the Toronto Maple Leafs. We will always remember his kind nature, great sense of humour and his ability to turn every get together into a party. He will forever be a part of each and every one of us.

High School was full of volleyball, skiing, basketball, figure skating, and life guarding, together with many who became lifelong friends. Kathy was born to be an educator. Her favourite toy was her chalkboard - teaching her older sister and younger brother their letters and numbers. She continued in Fredericton where she received a Bachelor of Education from Saint Thomas University. She then took summer courses to complete her Master's in Education from UNB. Her teaching career started in Spanish Harlem, NYC, and then took her to Brampton Ontario, teaching in several Peel Board schools, progressing from teacher to vice principal through to principal. She retired in December 2020 from the Near North District School Board after a 34-year career where she loved her job and mentoring many younger educators looking to move forward in their career paths.

This was followed with 25 years of travelling every chance that came up, boating, fishing, camping, and teaching her nephews how to ski. She made many trips back East to spend time in Dalhousie and to the cottage by the beautiful Bay of Chaleur. Eventually they built a beautiful retirement home, 'Trail's End', in McKellar, Ontario.

It is with heavy hearts that the family announce the peaceful passing of their incredible mom, Verna May Burden, at Belvedere Heights on Monday, December 19, 2022. Age 90 years. Beloved wife of the late Maurice Burden. Loving mother of Karen Nordstrom (Lloyd), Patrick Burden (Leslie), and Laura Burden (Ross). Cherished grandmother of Kent (Maureen), Ryan, Kyla (Jeff), Logan, Alex (Dale), and Grant (Ashley). Great-grandmother of Justin, Johnny, McKinley, Elijah, Nevaeh, Olivia, Presley, and Maverick. Dear sister of the late Walter Christenson, and Violet Fisher. Lifelong "B.F.F." of Alice Ryman (nee: Milligan). Fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. Our mother was an incredible human being. She spent the first few years of her life with her parents on their farm in Carling, on the Shebeshekong River. These years cemented her love of the river, nature, and the area in general. Outside of one short attempt to live in Toronto at the beginning of her marriage, she never veered from living in her beloved Dillon. Her love of animals was so strong that she was constantly dragging every kitten, dog or calf she could get her hands on into her mother's kitchen. Her mother wasn't always impressed, but she encouraged her very young, energetic daughter. This role modelling helped form Verna into the amazingly nurturing person she became. After marrying Maurice, they wasted no time in starting a family. Karen came along first, and Verna went into overdrive being the best Mom. Next came Pat, their only boy, and then Laura, the youngest. All 3 of us were given the best childhoods, due to her protective nurturing way. No one messed with her babies! During our teenage years our friends were always welcome in our home. Almost every friend wanted to become a part of our family. Every person in our community knew that our door was always open, and you were greeted with open arms, at any time. Verna often mentioned that her years spent raising her children were her favourite, and most fulfilling. She instilled in all of us the importance and strength of family. As adults we continue to be supportive and loving toward one another, and our families. After her children were launched, empty nest syndrome hit Verna hard. She realized that she was not happy without someone, or something to nurture. Lots of pets, lots and lots of pets. She also started to realize that she needed something else to fulfill her enormous energy and drive. She volunteered to listen to and be a support to troubled youth. She tried a few odd jobs, but when she decided to give selling Real Estate a try, it was a perfect fit. With a supportive husband by her side, she was enabled to build a fabulous business in Real Estate. Year after year she was the top producer in her office. She loved it, and her clients loved her! But even with all of this success she once admitted that her favourite deals involved first-time buyers, often young couples, attempting to make a start in life. Her definition of success was helping others to achieve their dreams. When she started to slow down in Real Estate, she threw herself into her beautiful property on the river. Maurice and she spent many years gardening and beautifying their little piece of Eden. Maurice concentrated on their vegetable garden. Verna, on her flowers. Flowers cropped up everywhere, all over the property. She spent her final years living at Belvedere Heights. After she passed every person who works at, or lives at Belvedere spoke very highly of her in every respect. Over and over, we heard about her wicked sense of humour and friendliness to all. Every human being, and animal, that was privileged enough to spend any time with her, felt her incredible light and zest for life. Verna will be remembered for her wicked sense of humour, her generosity to everyone, and her passion for life, including children, animals, and flowers. Her home was open to anyone, especially friends, and children. She spent many happy years boating and fishing on Georgian Bay with family and friends. She was loved by all! The family wishes to extend a special thank you to all residents and staff of Belvedere Heights for their friendship, care and compassion. A Celebration of Verna's Life will take place at a later date. In honour of Verna and her multiple beloved pets, the family has requested donations to the O.S.P.C.A. Muskoka Animal Centre, or the charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to the Logan Funeral Home, 81 James Street, Parry Sound (705-746-5855).

Ralph David Wye died at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. Age 94 years.Beloved husband of the late Honery Wye (Collison). Dear father of Lockie and his wife Judi; Valerie Wye and her husband Al George; Frances and her husband Scott Price; and Janice Wye-Baker and her husband Al Baker.Loving Grandpa of Paul (Ruthann) and Lindsay (Ben); Whitney (Andrew) and Tyler (Meghan); and Alexander (Artemis) and Hilary (Mike). Great Grandpa of Quinn, Carmen, Kennedy, Davin, Ashton, and Torren. Dear brother of Clare, and the late Helen, Bill, and Beatrice. Fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.Born and raised in Dunchurch, Ralph was wed to Honery and began married life in Toronto. Moving back north to Nobel, Ralph found himself repairing anything that needed it in the shop at CIL, where he began as an apprentice welder in 1949. It is hard to know if the man was suited to the job or the other way 'round, but there was no doubt about the fact that anything with a mechanical malfunction stood no chance once he found out about it; a tool in his hands meant the problem would be fixed in no time. This never failed to capture the interest of the grandchildren, who were always in tow—sometimes literally, as he would pull them around the bush behind the snowmobile. A life built in and around Nobel meant service to the community, including being steward at Nobel United Church and maintaining the community's water supply at the local pumphouse. It also meant motoring around the local waters of Georgian Bay at the helm of his cedar strip boat with his whole family on board. Come fall, Ralph would look forward to hunting season with the Dunchurch boys at the Staley Creek Hunt Club. We will all miss springtime in the sugar bush, hauling buckets of sap back to the shack and watching Ralph meticulously boil it down to sweet amber maple syrup. Later, in summer, he would dig new potatoes and carrots an hour before supper and have enough on the table for everyone to have their fill, and he was ever patient with the grandkids who had a slightly different method of picking raspberries (one for the tobacco can, two for the mouth). When Honery took ill and had to move to Lakeland, Ralph found that he could be involved by volunteering at the local café and was committed enough that he continued to do so after she died.A Memorial Visitation to celebrate Ralph's life will take place at the Logan Funeral Home, 81 James Street, Parry Sound (746-5855), on Sunday, November 27th from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. A few memories will be shared at 3:00 p.m. Inter- ment Fairholme Cemetery, Dunchurch, in the spring.Thank you to all the nurses and staff in Acute Care at the West Parry Sound Health Centre for their wonderful care, with a special thank you to Kelly in the Palliative Care Unit. The family would also like to thank all the staff at Serenity Seniors' Residence, especially Krista and Crystal.As expressions of sympathy, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation (Palliative Care) would be appreciated.

It is our great privilege to announce that Ronald Edward Scriven is now on duty for his saviour in heaven. Ron was called peacefully to his new station with Jesus on Sunday morning, May 1, 2022. He was predeceased by his parents Raymond Edward and Bernice and will be sorely missed by his wife Heather Angel Scriven (nee Bayes), his brother Ken (Lee Ann) Scriven, his daughters Deborah June Scriven, Dawn (Gerry) Belanger and Cassie Ann (Greg) Visser.

The great grandchildren that will forever be missing his hugs are Chloe, Olivia, Emma, Kennedy, Adie, Izzy, Kyleigh, Cruz, Quincy, Jack, Romeo, Mariah, Mckayla and Kadence Grace. Ronald was a man of honour and integrity; he was born and raised in Parry Sound on March 22, 1944 and graduated from Parry Sound High School, where he met his angel, Heather. He served his country in the Air Cadets and Air Force Reserves. He served the Ontario Provincial Police for 30 years in Burks Falls, Elk Lake and finally retiring from the Haileybury detachment. Unable to actually retire, Ron went to work for the Crown Attorneys office in Haileybury. Ron was also a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion, joining in 1977, during which time He made his way up from Legionnaire to the first non veteran President of Ontario Command. He then continued to Vice President of Dominion Command. During his service with the Legion he travelled to Bosnia, he was involved in bringing home the Unknown Soldier and participated in the opening of the Confederation Bridge in PEI. As if this was not enough, Ron and Heather owned and operated a 100 acres farm in Kerns Township, where they enjoyed every animal you can imagine. Dad was always so proud to have people stop in to see the babies. School groups and day cares would come for tours and they would give away fresh veggies to anyone who drove by. Ron was also proud to head the Christian Farmer Association for this area. He served his community being an elder for Bethel Gospel Chapel. Ron was a devoted and faithful husband, he and Heather enjoyed 57 years of marriage. They worked hard, played hard, prayed hard and loved hard. Never have two meant more to each other. True soul mates. Dad was...everything, a firm hand, a gentle caress, he taught us to love faithfully, live honestly, be ethically strong and lose gracefully. He loved unconditionally and gave all he had and more. Dad was and forever will be...our hero. Poppa was cuddles and tickles, he was stories and wisdom. He was patience, never ending love and always the trickster. He will forever be remembered for generations to come. Uncle Ron and Aunt Heather shared their home with multiple children and adults who will forever be grateful. We, Ron's family, would like to extend our sincerest thank you to the staff of the Tri Town Extendacare. You are fantastic!! Your expert care, concern and expertise are so very very appreciated!!

David James Hunter passed away peacefully, but far too soon, at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, with his family by his side, after a brief but courageous battle with cancer on May 5, 2022 at the age of 68. Adored, cherished, devoted, and most amazing loving husband and soulmate of Patricia (Pat) for almost thirty years. Beloved stepfather of Jesse Jacklin (Cassandra) and loving grandfather of Emma and William. Dear son-in-law of Jane and the late Peter Klynstra and brother-in-law of Agnes Vincent (Hector), Janet and the late Keith Smith, Judy Pearson (Phil). Dearly loved uncle of Sarah Manton (Chris) and Stephen Hunter (Ashley). Predeceased by his parents, Ralph and Verna Hunter and his brother, Edward (Ted) Hunter. Sadly missed by other relatives and friends. Dave grew up in King City and moved to Parry Sound for his final year of high school. Their loss was our gain. He was an incredible athlete who loved all sports and played baseball and hockey as a young boy. As he got older though, it became apparent that baseball was his true passion. As a teenager in King City he was recruited to play fastball in two different Mens' Leagues. His love of baseball continued when he moved to Parry Sound where he played in the Mens' fastball League and his friends and teammates came to know him as "Catfish". He was a skilled pitcher and many a batter feared heading to the plate to face his fastballs, while the fielders on the opposing team could do little to catch his many home run hits. He started his own Masonry Contracting business at the age of twenty and never looked back. He loved his work and was still laying blocks up until last November. He rarely stopped and from Spring to Fall was working every day, including most weekends. He had the gift of gab and loved meeting new people and could talk about anything. You can bet that if he built your foundation or repaired your block wall, it would not fall down as he always went above and beyond what was required. He's probably looking down right now at any construction sites in progress thinking "they need to put some more rebar into that block wall or it needs more reinforcing". Maybe he'll build a castle out of blocks in heaven ready for when I come to join him. Friends will be received at the Logan Funeral Home (705-746-5855), 81 James Street, Parry Sound, on Tuesday, May 10th from 2:00 - 4:00 & 6:00 - 8:00 P.M.,and on Wednesday, May 11th from 1:00 - 2:00 P.M.A Celebration of Dave's Life will take place in the Logan Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, May 11th, at 2:00 P.M.

1939-2021Bill was a pilot who flew with Nor-Ont airlines. He is now "Flying with the Angels." Before he retired in the late 90s, Bill and his wife Elaine bought a lot on Whitestone Lake. With the help of his family and friends, they built a beautiful home. Unfortunately, his wife passed away in 2000. To help himself keep busy, Bill got a job with Bell Transportation. In Dunchurch, as a bus driver. In 2004, we were married in the front garden of our home on the lake, surrounded by family and a few friends. After Bill built the cottage, he built, "The Barn," where he fixed things and built things. "The Barn" became a gathering place for family and friends, where good times were enjoyed by all, even in the winter when a wood stove provided warmth for cold feet and hands. Bill was a great story teller especially when it came to his flying career. Sadly, Bill passed away on May 10, 2021, surrounded by his family. Sam (our dog), and myself, along with our families, neighbours, and long time friends, miss him very much. Rest in Peace, Bill.

1942-2022One of life's one-of-a-kind has left us.Andrew Francis Skerlec died suddenly on April 8th, at his home in Toronto, not long after his 80th birthday.Loved and cherished by his family and many friends, Andy lived a charmed life. A life of unique accomplishment and wild adventures, (from mining gold in the frozen Yukon to smuggling a bus to orphans in Guatemala.)He was a collector of cars, boats, cats and ... people of all ages and backgrounds, people he befriended over a lifetime. He nurtured those friendships with frank talks and vigorous debate. Indeed, the more delicate or controversial the subject the better, as Andy's sharp mind would happily pull your arguments apart and leave you shaking your head.He somehow knew a lot about almost everything (with a few gaps in English Literature) and he used that knowledge to provide practical help and advice to a wide circle of admirers.A proud Hungarian, coffee lover, solver of all problems and true smoker's rights advocate, Andy was also a devoted napper from an early age.His death has wrenched the hearts of his beloved sons, stepchildren, their spouses, many grandchildren and his favourite playmate, Rowan.We all will dearly miss his gruff, combative yet truly loving, generous spirit. Sail on, Andy.

After completing high school at Hill Park Collegiate in Hamilton, Tom attended the University of Windsor and completed a BA in Social Work, followed by a Master's degree in Social Work at Wilfred Laurier University. In 2021, he completed the Licensed Lay Worship Leader training program through the United Church of Canada. Tom was a true spiritual and emotional healer to many throughout his lifetime.Tom and Lorna moved with their children to the farm on Three Mile Lake near Raymond, Ontario in March,1979, and have spent 43 wonderful years there, raising an assortment of barn animals and growing produce to sell at the local farmers' markets throughout Muskoka. Many will remember the Walkling Family Farm squash and pumpkin booth at the Johnston's Cranberry Marsh over the years. His professional work included many roles as a medical and counselling social worker in Muskoka and Parry Sound. He retired for health reasons in 2019, just a few months before having a lung transplant at Toronto General Hospital.Tom and Lorna loved to travel when they could, and they had many amazing trips during their 45 years together, some to quite exotic places. One memorable journey was to Africa, where they travelled with a small group to visit a Maasai village in Kenya that was building a primary school they supported. Transatlantic voyages on the Queen Mary 2 were a favourite get-away, and they enjoyed several crossings and the wonderful people they met on the ship.All who knew Tom knew he was a very special individual. His community involvement included being a long-time member of Utterson United Church and a volunteer firefighter for 31 years with the Windermere/Raymond Fire Department. Tom's niece, Susan Casey, sent this message to the family and they wish to share it as it says it all."When I think of my memories of Tom, I always see the same image. We're sitting outside in the summer twilight, talking and laughing. Tom is asking me questions about some crazy thing I've done, and his curiosity is engaging. He's smiling, and speaking in his beautiful soft voice, and there's a twinkle in his eye. He emanates peace and happiness, surrounded by his family, his farm, the lake and the fields and the trees. Tom is goodness in human form, but not in a mawkish way; he gives everyone the gift of being able to truly relax in his presence. He's the kind of person who, if you're lucky, you meet once or twice in life—that rare combination of strong and gentle. It's impossible to imagine him screaming at someone in a parking lot, or freaking out if (say) he missed his transatlantic cruise, or looking the other way when help is called for. He's the kind of person you want to know, and the kind of person you want to be. In essence, he's kind. And along with the many people whose hearts he touched, I know that I'm a better person for having known him."Heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at South Muskoka Memorial Hospital, the transplant team at Toronto General Hospital, the incredible medical workers in the ICU at TGH, and to the many, many friends, neighbours and community members who have supported Tom and Lorna throughout his years of illness. The funeral service for Tom was held on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, at Windermere United Church. Many thanks to all of those who attended. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Utterson United Church or to the UHN Foundation and may be arranged through Reynolds Funeral Home.Messages of condolence and memories may be shared at www.reynoldsfuneral.com

November 19, 1924 - January 28, 2022Peacefully, on Friday, January 28, 2022 at the West Parry Sound Health Centre, with his beloved Joanne by his side, in his 98th year. Jim was a Saskatchewan boy, born in Spalding, but transplanted to Ontario where he joined the war effort in 1943. He became a Wireless Air Gunner, flying in Lancaster bombers until the war ended. Although he didn't fly many sorties before the war was over, he did benefit from the government's education program for veterans. After completing his senior matriculation in only 18 months, he enrolled in the University of Toronto. Jim graduated in Pharmacy ranking second in his class and also taking the silver medal for Chemistry. He married Helen Brogan, and they had three wonderful children together, Douglas, Patricia, and Jeffrey. Practicing pharmacy was not what he'd expected, so Jim chose to join the sales force for Baxter Laboratories as his career. Jim retired from there after twenty years, having attained the position in the company of Sales Manager for Canada. But he wasn't finished working yet. Jim took his pharmacy degree, changing gear to become owner of Elliot Lake Pharmacy, in Elliot Lake, Ontario. It was there he met and married the new love of his life, Joanne (Dunne). They worked together at the pharmacy until Jim retired in 1997. Although the business had been his life for the 25 years that Jim owned his store, there had been time to fly his own plane, enjoy fishing and cross-country skiing, travel a little every year, and enjoy family and friends. When Jim sold the store, he embarked on a new career: "retirement". This brought him to Carling Township, where he learned to slow down a little bit and enjoy life on the Bay. But workaholics never really slow down, and Jim was no exception. Building gardens and making the property more beautiful, fishing, feeding the birds, doing his crossword puzzle every day, but also finding his way clear to a little 5 o'clock time on the dock or the deck to reflect on the fruits of his labours and enjoy the beautiful Georgian Bay. Carling also brought a new circle of friends and neighbours, who continued to be supportive angels in the last months of his life. Jim will be dearly missed by his wife Joanne, his daughter; Patricia (Daryl), son Jeffrey, first wife Helen, grandson Keith Causton (Sarah), and great-grandchildren Keaton, Everett, Ada, Emory and Ellie. He is predeceased by his parents Gertrude and Anton, his siblings Paul, Andrew, Joseph, Anthony, Edward, Theresa, Gertrude, Madelaine, Anna and son Douglas. Survived by his half-brother George (Phyllis). Cremation entrusted to Torrance Funeral Home (89 Bowes St., Parry Sound). In lieu of flowers, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation, Salvation Army, or the Snug Harbour Community Church would be appreciated by the family. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.To leave an online condolence please visit www.torrancefuneralhome.com

1941-2022With sorrow and yet with profound gratitude for all he gave us, we announce the passing of David Baird Conn on Tuesday morning, January 25, 2022 at West Parry Sound Health Centre enveloped by the love of Joan and Michael at his side.Born 1941 in Toronto, youngest child of Jean Baird and George Edward Conn, brother to the late George and Mary Louise.Dave recognized his greatest achievements were his 60 year marriage to Joan (nee Atkinson) - his "golden girl", his two children, Brenda (1962-1984) and Michael (Kim). He was beloved "papa" to four grandchildren: Tyler (Emily), Jordyn (Lucas), Zackary and Abbygale. Dearly missed by brother-in-law Eric (Heather) and many nieces and nephews some of whom he raised in whole or in part as his own children. He was loved by a large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins from the Orrville/Rosseau area.Many a summer family reunion was enjoyed at Green Acres, the family cottage resort later becoming the year round home. Eventually Dave and Joan built their dream home on the picturesque point of the bay overlooking Maple Lake. David was a larger-than-life personality: confident, charismatic, successful. He was admired and respected in both business and political circles. Best friends were friends for life from teen years at Stamford Collegiate and A. N. Myer Secondary, undergrad years at Huron College, the University of Western Ontario Ivey Business School and Harvard. Dave succeeded as a company President and CEO for more than 40 years. He sailed with best friends on the European side of the Atlantic on a 38 ft. sloop, safaried in South Africa, explored the souks near the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, skied the Rockies slopes at Whistler, scuba-dived the best Bahamian reefs. In retirement after corporate life Dave was elected three times as the Mayor of Seguin Township.He accomplished so much beyond his formal education: the ride'em lawnmower, crawling beneath jacked-up cottages repairing broken pipes, mastering a killer slalom water-ski course in Maple Lake bay, recovering from numerous cuts from fishing hooks, scrapes from tennis, football bruising, a brain aneurysm, two new knees, two new hips, a weakened "ticker" and its pacemaker, but he could not defeat the complications from a fall and five broken ribs on the evening of his 81st birthday.The strongest, brightest, most capable and generous man in our lives left this world for his next great adventure. If there isn't a bookstore or library there, be certain Dave will be its successful entrepreneur.The interment will take place on Saturday, July 30th, 2022 at 1pm at the Christie Memorial Cemetery, Orrville, Ontario. Followed by a Celebration of Life at Green Acres ResortIn lieu of flowers, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Centre (WPSHC) Foundation would be appreciated.

Bruce Darlington died in Toronto on December 15, 2021, having been diagnosed with inoperable localized pancreatic cancer on July 27, 2021. He died at home choosing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) with his wife, Victoria Skelton (Vicki) and daughter, Emily Darlington, holding him and loving him. We wish to thank everyone from the Dorothy Ley Hospice Community Support Program for caring for Bruce in our home. Our palliative care team was outstanding, and we wish to express our special thanks to Dr. Johnstone and Olga Galychkina, as well as the timely and generous support of Dr. Tepper. Bruce is predeceased by his parents, Blake and Louise Darlington, and by his brother and sister Robert Darlington and Janet Darlington, all of Parry Sound. He is survived by his wife Vicki and daughter Emily; by his brother and sister-in-law, James B. Darlington and Helen Darlington, and his nieces and nephews: Gordon Darlington (Heather), Mary Darlington (Peter), and Laura Darlington, all of the Parry Sound region; Alan Darlington (Gerarda) of Guelph, and Spence Darlington (Elizabeth) of Williams Lake, B.C.. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Leslie Strupat (John) and niece Christine Strupat (Nicholas) all of London ON and by his nephew Nicholas Strupat (Feaven) of Toronto. Bruce was a University of Waterloo graduate where he studied mathematics under Professor Ralph Gordon Stanton, a pioneer in mathematics and computing education. Bruce also studied physics, another lifetime love that introduced him to the physicist Richard P. Feynman, whose iconoclastic approach and passion for science became Bruce's own. At Waterloo Bruce met his best friend of 60 years, retired meteorologist Paul Galbraith (Nova Scotia). Bruce went on to the University of Toronto, where he worked as a systems analyst and provided computing support for researchers, retiring over 25 years later. From his knowledge of Fortran, the original programing language for mathematicians, to writing his own fractal generating programs, Bruce saw beauty in mathematics and physics. He was imbued with the twin spirits of curiosity and creativity which made for lively conversations and great jokes. He was a reader with a wide breadth of knowledge, both historical and current, who could discuss any topic with quiet intelligence and abundant dry wit. Bruce's love of music began at a young age. He introduced the people he loved to jazz greats such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane, discovered when he was still in high school, his escape from Don Messer's Jubilee. He and Vicki, married in 1982, spent Toronto weekends on Yonge Street in Sam the Record Man and A&A Records, expeditions of discovery that built an eclectic record collection. From Arvo Pärt, John Adams, and the Bulgarian Women's Choir to Ali Farka Touré and the Grateful Dead, Bruce listened, loved and shared it all. We will never let him go. In Bruce's words -- witty, wise and most certainly fun ... Now I'm paddling through McDougallWhere everyone's old and frugalAnd living entirely on their ownOh, it's very Anglophillic, Peaceful & idyllic ...The very place I once did call home. O but in my sweet canoeI dream only dear of youAnd the time we spent togetherDuring all that clement weatherOn the roiling Chebougamou! Celebrations of Bruce's life will be held in Parry Sound and Toronto in the spring/summer months.

July 11, 1931 - September 11, 2021Suzanne Elliott passed away suddenly in Tillsonburg, Ontario, on September 11, 2021, at the age of 90 years. Suzanne was born on July 11, 1931 in St. Jean-de-Matha, Quebec, to the late Alice Desroches and Henri Gagnon. Beloved wife of Dr. Harvey Elliott, Suzanne loved taking care of her home and her family. She was an incredible woman who soldiered on through many challenges, from learning English to living all over Eastern Canada as an Air Force wife and raising five children. She was an avid cook whose dinners regaled many over the years. Suzanne passed her cooking and baking skills on to her children, and thus to her children's children. She enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening, and her property was always a wonderful sight to see. Suzanne was also a French teacher in her adult life, teaching her siblings at school in Quebec when she was a young teacher, and later teaching at the school her children attended in Belleville, Ontario. She was also a fantastic seamstress, using this skill to clothe her family stylishly and beautify her home; this was another skill she passed on to her family. Suzanne enjoyed boating and fishing on the Georgian Bay with her husband, Harvey, and loved to play duplicate bridge. She liked to have a fresh-cooked lobster even just earlier this year as a special meal! Although standing a diminutive 5'0" tall, Suzanne was a force to be reckoned with: outworking the younger generation in the garden, speaking her mind about politics and the wrongs she saw around her, and keeping both a tip-top home and cooking meals from scratch that would please her beloved Harvey. Together they were an inspiration to us all: that love could be found a second time in life, and two very different families be brought together 36 years ago. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Suzanne is survived by her children Jean Doucet (Lisa), François Doucet, Sylvie Doucet (Paul Warner), Allan Elliott, Carole Doucet Love (Chris Love), Johanne Doucet (Maurice Oishi), and Stephen Elliott (Tess); grandchildren Elayna Gallea (Aaron), Maggie Doucet, Lily Doucet (John Eugenio), Kaley Ward (Steve) and Devon Warner (Karen), Emma Love (Kolin Hansen), Becka Love (Christian Eggenberger), Mackinley Love, Andrew Elliott, Mikaela Elliott (Jalen Sabean), Hillary Elliott, Yoshio Doucet, Seiji Doucet, Alexander Elliott, William Elliott, Jonathan Elliott, Emily Elliott; and great-grandchildren Abigail Warner, Britanny and Jack. Suzanne was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Denise (late Alban Houle) and Lucie (late Severin Doucet), and her late husband Oscar Doucet. She is also survived by siblings Marcel (Joyce Ethier), Victor (Lise Lafontaine), Jeannine (late Robert Adam), Normand (Lucille Sylvestre), Ginette (late Gilles Gauvin), and Paulette (late Real Poudrette). A private Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Tillsonburg. Memorial donations to the St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Tillsonburg would be appreciated by the Elliott family. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Ostrander Funeral Home, 43 Bidwell Street, Tillsonburg (519-842-5221).Personal condolences and favourite memories of Suzanne can be shared at www.ostrandersfuneralhome.com

October 8, 1936 - August 24, 2021Passed away peacefully on August 24, 2021. Beloved wife of the late William (Bill) Shelby and loving mother of Leslie (Bill) Palamar, Karen (Gary) Pearson and Bill Shelby. Proud Grandma of Regina (Mark), Shelby, Sara (Cieran), Audrey, Eric, Tyler (Caroline) and Tonya (Abdi). Dear daughter of the late Beatrice and Harry Demick, she is predeceased by all her siblings; Charles, Charlotte, David, Marie and Anna. She will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.Born in Parry Sound, Ontario, Shirley left for Toronto where she studied music at the Royal Conservatory of Music. It was here that she met and fell in love with fellow student, Bill Shelby. Together they raised three children and created a home filled with classical music and the sound of the neighbourhood children taking piano lessons in the basem*nt. Her children are grateful for a home that instilled in them a love of music, whether piano, singing or guitar, that continues to this day. She travelled the globe, by air and sea, escorting groups, scouting hotels and vacationing when time permitted. When Bill suffered a stroke while on a family vacation, Shirley became aware of the obstacles disabled people faced when travelling. In the late 1970's she opened the groundbreaking travel agency, Travel Helpers, specializing in travel services for people with disabilities. She was an advocate for and managed the travel needs for organizations like Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association, Canadian Amputee Association and the Canadian Blind Sports Association. A founding member of ParaSport Ontario, and founding member and voluntary President of the Ontario Blind Sport Association, Shirley was an inductee into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame and the recipient of many awards including the King Clancy Award and the Ontario Sport Award. Her determined efforts helped to lay the solid foundation on which the Paralympic movement continues to build. An active member of the Don Mills business community, Shirley was President of the Don Mills Business Association and broke the glass ceiling by becoming the first woman President of the Don Mills Rotary Club. Shirley was renowned for her entertaining including her much anticipated annual Christmas Open House. Although there may be no photographic evidence of her ever dipping a toe into the pool herself, all were welcome to enjoy the pool and beautiful backyard and she loved nothing more than seeing friends, family and neighbourhood kids do just that. The Toronto Mendelssohn Choir was even known to have been poolside, enjoying her hospitality and singing into the wee hours.Keeping with Shirley's wishes, cremation is planned. A celebration of Shirley's life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, and in recognition of Shirley's extensive commitment to the cause, you are invited to make a donation to ParaSport Ontario. https://www.parasportontario.ca/donate/play-to-podium-fund or Ontario Blind Sports Association. https://blindsports.on.ca/donate/

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Robert H. Drummond. Bob passed away at Lakeland Long Term Care Friday, July 16, 2021 at the age of 85. Survived by his devoted wife of 30 years, Brenda, and stepsons - Dan and Paul Bissonette, granddaughter Andrea Bissonette and her partner Bill McRobb, great grandchildren Kayne & Elizabeth and grandson John Bissonette. Lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews and cousins. Pre deceased by his brother Derek, who died (1934) before Bob was born, sisters Daphne and Joan, his father Henry and his mother Doris. Also pre deceased by his favourite nephew, Rodney Peters. Bob was born in Harrow, Middlesex, England, where he attended Lewis County School for boys, and was in the church choir as a young boy. He loved to sing. He shared a passion for sports of all kinds with his father, Henry (Harry) Drummond, until his dad died when he was ten years old. Bob never lost his enthusiasm for sports. Bob's dad worked at the Post Office on Hide Road, Harrow, England, and instilled a passion for stamp collecting in Bob that was continued through his entire life. He immigrated to Canada when he was 17. His sisters were already here, having married Canadian airmen, Joan - Peter Peters, and Daphney - Ray Holloway. Bob's mother Doris followed after settling things in England. Bob lived in Welland for several years with his first wife Marlene, and worked his way up in the banking industry. After a period in Ottawa, he was transferred to Parry Sound as the manager of the C.I.B.C. Years later... rather than leave Parry Sound to transfer to a higher position at a bank in another city, he chose to withdraw from the bank to pursue a different career, and in time became a partner at Lorne Tudhope Insurance Agency with Lorne Tudhope, Ken Brown, Ken Dobson and Brock Tudhope. He also enjoyed working there with Jeanne Roberts (MacDonald) and Kim Campbell as friends and colleagues. Bob loved people, and this was apparent as he became involved in many community groups and committees. His efforts made a huge contribution to many people in health planning and promotion of programs and initiatives to improve the quality of life for so many, and are far too numerous to state here. His years spent with Peter Deane on the District Health Council in it's founding years were a great source of pride and enjoyment. The friends he met on the Ontario College of Pharmacists, The Boards of the Parry Sound General Hospital and Belvedere Heights Home for the Aged were also high on his list. Bob loved sports, either as a participant or as an observer. Tennis and badminton in his earlier years, but most people will remember him from the golf course. His trips to Myrtle Beach with the guys for golf holidays was a great source of fun and relaxation for him. His buddys, Joe, Ernie, Roger, Art, and Jack to name just a few, spent many an early morning T-ing-off here at our local course. He spent a considerable amount of time on the Executive and as President of the Parry Sound Golf and Country Club. The Hamilton Tiger Cats was his CFL team, and there were many years of fan rivalry between Bob and Ernie, who was a stalwart Toronto Argos fan. They had many a razzing and chuckles over that. Soccer and Rugby were also passions of his and our trip to South Africa in 1995 for the World Cup of Rugby was one of his favourites. He had a compassionate love of animals and trees. One of the important aspects of all our travels was to check out the wildlife in their natural habitat as well as the zoos and aquariums. We have been members of the Toronto Zoo for many years, and often our anniversary gift to each other was to adopt an animal, which contributed to the expense of supporting the zoo programs. We have visited many zoos globally and always enjoyed our time spent there. He was so happy when friends came to visit in these last few years, as it was difficult and at times impossible to go to visit where there was an accessibility issue. When friends came calling, he was really thrilled and each of you helped make his life more complete by sharing your time with him. Thank you all so very much. Family would like to express our appreciation to staff of West Parry Sound Health Centre and Lakeland Long Term Care facility for their compassionate care. Prior to his facility care, he was provided with exceptional Home Care from the PSWs at The Friends. You will all be forever in our hearts. At Bob's request there will be no service. Cremation will take place with a private internment of his ashes at Sylvan Acres at a later time. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to: The Toronto Zoo, West Parry Sound Health Centre, Lakeland Long Term Care, Belvedere Heights or the charity of your choice.

Please visit www.arthurfuneralhome.com to leave a message of condolence for the family.To say Dad was a character would be an understatement. Though he was small in stature, his personality was huge. Dad was stubborn yet silly, frustrating yet funny, demanding yet dedicated. He loved listening to his radio, watching movies (especially old westerns), and his life at the lake. Though born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, he had always been drawn to cottage-country, and in his youth discovered his spiritual home - Georgian Bay. Eventually, summers were spent visiting Wawanaisa Resort, near Parry Sound, and after retiring, Dad and Mom were lucky enough to establish a home near there. It was their paradise; days were spent having coffee on the deck, watching the wildlife, and on good days, heading out in the boat to visit their favourite fishing spots. Sadly, Mom passed in 2015. With his family living far away, Dad was blessed to have many kind neighbours and friends to watch over him. They would drive him to town for errands and appointments, help around the cottage, and more importantly, kept him company. For all of this, we dearly thank Peter and Dorte, Mike and Sarah, Ian and Ruth, Keith and Davis, John and Dianne, Sue, and the many others whose support enabled Dad to live alone for over 4 years. Dad's heart truly broke when the time came that he had to leave his home. We like to think that he enjoyed living with us this past year and a half, but we knew where he longed to be... We know you are there now, Dad. Your heart has been mended, and you can breathe easy again. You are back where you belong, with Mom, sitting on the deck drinking coffee, boat loaded up, ready to go. Now, the weather will always be perfect, the fish will always be biting, and you and Mom will be together, always. "God Bless"

After a valiant 5-week effort to recover from hip surgery following a fall, Bonnie passed away May 30, 2021. Predeceased by her 12 siblings, Bonnie was the third youngest child of Robert Lackie & Emily Heard. Bonnie was a woman who tended to accept people as they were and where they were in life. She understood that life often presented unexpected curves and turmoil and preferred to live life with a smile and a laugh instead of tears or complaints. Indeed, she was known in the community for being a person with an unshakeable sense of positivity and who always had a pleasant word for the people around her. She was a wife who always supported her husband, Carl Marriott (1914 - 1992); a mother who modelled hard work and choosing happiness to her daughters, Phyllis McGee (Gary) & Joanne Marriott; a generous grandmother who taught the art of baking a homemade pie and playing a good card game to her grand-daughter, Kathryn Moldovean (Bogdan); a founding member of Christie Seniors and enthusiastic bid-euchre player with both the Christie and McKellar Seniors groups; a kind and understanding resident at the Gardens of Parry Sound where she enjoyed socializing and was never in a rush; Bonnie simply took everything in stride with a smile on her face. She was a friend to all. Bonnie protected her independence as much as possible as she aged. Her move into the Gardens of Parry Sound, at the age of 98, supported that independence by providing a warm and caring social environment in which she thrived before passing away shortly after her 101st birthday. She will be very much missed by all. A gathering in her memory will be arranged by her many friends and for those who loved her when COVID restrictions allow. Until then, SMILE in her memory!

May 7, 1935 - April 2, 2021 With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Glenna Florence McGill. Glenna passed away peacefully in her own bed at the Village of Taunton Mills in Whitby. She will be remembered with love by her children Douglas (Anne), Carol, and David (Shawnna), as well as her six grandchildren (Laura and Eric; Jon; Josiah, Jacob, and Meghan) and two great-grandchildren (Amelia and Dallas). She will also be greatly missed by her two sisters, Donna and Debbie. Glenna was predeceased by her husband Ross (2016) and her four brothers (Harold, Allan, Donnie, and Melvin). Glenna was born and raised on a farmstead in the small Northern Ontario town of Dillon (Carling Township near Parry Sound). At the young age of 19, she ventured south find work (Sismans Shoes) and to join her brothers in Aurora. There she met her husband to be, Ross McGill. Their connection for each other was immediate and this led to marriage within the year and set the foundation of a successful relationship spanning 6 decades. While they resided all of those 60 years in Aurora, Glenna and Ross returned to Dillon every summer, where for many years they had a small cabin on the original Ramsay homestead. This cabin was home base for blueberry picking in their later years as they spent many happy afternoons ambling over the rocks looking for the perfect (secret) patch. Glenna's last five years, following the death of Ross, were lived at the Village of Taunton Mills, a retirement home in Whitby, where she became a celebrity of sorts with her gregarious and helpful manner. Throughout her life, Glenna loved to spend time with family and friends, and this extended to the many children she cared for at various times. She delighted in spoiling her grandchildren with late nights, favorite treats, hugs, and laughs. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Her cheerful smile, humour, and friendly nature will be missed by many her family, friends, and neighbours. We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at the Village of Taunton Mills, who were very caring and supportive throughout Glenna's time there. The exemplary care she received during her last weeks there went above and beyond. In memory of Glenna, her family would gratefully appreciate donations to the Southlake Regional Health Centre. Glenna's three children were born there, and both she and Ross always spoke highly of, and were grateful for the care they received at the hospital at various times throughout their lives. Due to the ongoing COVID - 19 Pandemic the family is not anticipating a visitation or service at this time. We will be exploring options to commemorate her life and will notify accordingly in the days to come. Glenna will be cremated and buried at the Carling Cemetery, next to her husband Ross. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.ThompsonFH-Aurora.com for the McGill family.

In memory of Rose's passing on March 30, 2020, all of her family members and friends recall fondly our time together and the joy she brought us all. God looked around his garden, and he found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth, and he saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills hard to climb. So He closed your eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

August 22, 1935 - February 26, 2021 PARKSVILLE, BRITISH COLUMBIA: Beth passed away peacefully at her home on February 26, 2021 with her much beloved daughter, Susan, at her bedside. She is survived by her three children, Jane of Parry Sound (Howard Orr), Susan of Brampton, and Rob of Brampton and two grandchildren, Mackenzie (Toronto) and Mathew (Brampton), sister, Lois (Deedy) Spargo (Toronto). Beth's life took her from living on Western Island Lighthouse in Georgian Bay, Ontario to Parksville British Columbia. Her parents Arnold and Lillian Wing were the Lighthouse keepers and Beth was schooled through to grade six by Government Correspondent lessons during the spring and fall months. In winter, the family moved to Parry Sound and Beth was schooled there until it was time to return for Lighthouse duties. After graduating from high school, she entered nurses training at Soldiers' Memorial Hospital in Orillia. She married Russell Dwinnell in the late 50's and they moved to Sault Ste. Marie, where Rusty worked as an electrician and Beth worked as a nurse. Their daughter, Jane was born there. In the early 1960's, Beth and family moved to Pointe au Baril to help manage the family tourist business. Susan and Rob were born there. When the marriage ended in the late 1970's, Beth moved to Parry Sound and was hired as Director of Nursing at Belvedere Heights. There, she met and married Alvin and eventually, moved to Parksville. Beth continued her nursing career until her retirement. Beth was an avid reader and a master at crossword puzzles. She dabbled at golf and bridge, mainly to be with her friends, but her main hobby was cooking and entertaining. Their Christmas parties were legend! Their door was always open and welcoming to family and friends. Beth and Alvin made very close friends in Parksville, and these friends supported Beth when Alvin died in 2013 and they have continued to support Susan while she cared for her mom over the past five months.

Dennis Julian Stern was born in London, England in 1935, the only child of Benjamin and Theresa Stern (nee Finklestein). He died peacefully and well-cared for in the palliative care unit of West Parry Sound Health Centre in Parry Sound, Ontario on January 16th, 2021. He was proudly born in the sound of Bow Bells which he always said made him a true co*ckney. He was a beautiful child with chubby cheeks and thick dark curly hair but was born into a time of encroaching war and anti-Semitism. Like many children, he was evacuated at age 7, during the Blitz from London to the countryside - an event that he never wanted to disclose much about. As a young man, he was smart, athletic and adventurous - and after the war travelled through Europe where his love affair with France started. He was one of the small quota of Jewish students admitted into the University of London, Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine where he successfully graduated from in 1962. He remained close through the years with his fellow graduates, attending as many of their class reunions as he could. After graduation, he was faced with mandatory conscription and had to choose between the RAF in England, or to join the Armed Forces in either Canada or Australia. He had a friend who had come to Canada and so the decision was made. He moved with his first wife to Canada and embarked upon a 5-year stint with the RCAF as a flight surgeon and base physician. His final move to Rivers, Manitoba was where his two children were born. He left the RCAF in 1968 and moved to the small Ontario town of Parry Sound where he practiced family medicine for 47 years. He practiced true family medicine - care from the cradle to grave to generations of Parry Sounders. He got up in the middle of the night to do house calls, he delivered many babies - and then the babies of those babies, he acted as anesthetist, as coroner, and took on a number of medical students under his wing. He also served temporarily as the Medical Officer of Health for Parry Sound/Muskoka in 1995, during SARS. He ended his practice at the Lakeland Long-Term Care facility where he jokingly stated he was working with people the same age and disposition as he was! He was a dedicated and loyal physician - he was stubborn, tough and opinionated and did not suffer fools gladly. He pissed off many nurses and patients along the way - but he deeply cared about his work and was committed to caring for others. He especially loved the work that he did with the peoples and community of Wasauksing First Nations, and his loc*ms in Iqaluit. Outside of his work - he was a true hedonist and intellectual - he loved the best of everything. He immersed himself in history and reading, gardening, doing cryptic crosswords (he was a whiz), and music. He enjoyed being the consummate 'host' to others in his home. He was passionate about good food and wine (he has an enviable wine cellar), and when he finally retired, he became an accomplished cook. His home was filled with beautiful Inuit and Indigenous Canadian art which he spent years collecting and cherishing. He travelled the world with his wife Brenda - most notably to his beloved France - but he was also drawn to and loved Georgian Bay upon whose shores his home rested. He leaves behind his devoted and loving wife of 42 years, Brenda; his canine companion Tosca; his daughter Louise Stern (Tony Jarvis), and his grand-daughter Ruby Theresa Jarvis of Gabriola, B.C; his daughter-in-law Heather Stern, and his grandsons Ryan Benjamin Stern and Alexander Matthew Stern of St. Thomas, Ontario. He was pre-deceased by his beloved son Matthew David Stern who he loved and missed dearly. The family wishes to thank the thoughtful and loving care he received during this last hospitalization - especially to Dr. T.J. Fargher and the nursing staff of the West Parry Sound Health Centre. At his request, there will be no funeral. A celebration of life will be planned in the future when we are all able to meet and be together. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Centre would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Logan Funeral Home, 81 James Street, Parry Sound (705-746-5855). To send an on-line condolence, please visit www.logansfuneralhome. com

Thomas Clive Brown passed away peacefully in his home on the afternoon of January 20, 2021, after celebrating his 50th birthday this past June. He spent his final days surrounded by loved ones, looking at photographs and reminiscing about days past. Clive is survived by his sibling Susan and partner Greg, Wade Oliver (brother in-law), Natalie and husband Kyle, Brenda and partner Jeromy, Alex and partner Cheryl, and Vanessa and husband Jon, as well as his stepmother Bernadette Brown. He is predeceased by his parents Thomas and Shirley (nee Dawson) Brown and his sister Wendy Oliver. He was the proud uncle to 8 nephews, five nieces and five great-nieces. Clive is also survived by his long-time special friend Erin Borne and her husband Robert. Clive was an avid outdoorsman. He grew up hunting and fishing with his father, brother, uncles and cousins and continued to enjoy these activities into his adult life. He was a proud and dedicated member of the Rock Hill Hunt Club, as were many of his friends and family. Some time ago, Clive designed plans for what he believed a new hunt camp should look like, once the time came that the beloved but aging original structure could no longer service the camps' needs. A few years ago, construction began on the replacement camp that Clive had planned. Although he was no longer physically able to take part in the construction to the extent he would have liked, he helped where he could and felt such great pride in "what the boys were doin". Rock Hill was a sacred place to Clive; in some ways he felt more at home there than anywhere else.

Three weeks after celebrating her 93 birthday, on Sunday, January 3, 2021, Margaret Frances Catherine Walter closed her eyes for the last time. She was the cherished wife of the late Gerald Frederick Walter. Beloved mother of Casie Johnson (Trevor Walker). Devoted Grandma to Tyler Johnson and his wife Ashley, Jordan Johnson (Laura), Scott Johnson (Mackenzie) and Cameron Johnson (Ashley). Proud Great Grandma of Harry Walter "Hal" Johnson. Daughter of the late Emilie and James Doyle. Dearly loved sister of the late Betty O'Mahony (Ed), Bill Doyle (Jean) and Bob. Loving sister-in-law of Pat Pepper (Jim) and the late Joan Telford and Beth Drennan (Clarke). Much loved and respected aunt of many nieces and nephews. Marg was born in Simcoe, Ontario. She attended the local public school and Simcoe District High School. Marg spent grade 13 at St. Joseph's Catholic School. While this was not her most pleasant experience, it taught Marg to persevere through challenging situations; a skill that would see her through many times in her life to come. Marg then attended the University of Toronto where she graduated with a Bachelor of Physical Education. She earned the title of captain for the women's basketball team. Marg continued her Education and received her teaching certificate from the Ontario College of Education in Toronto. She proceeded to teach Physical Education at the high school level in Kitchener, Lindsay, Guelph and Toronto. Being a female athlete, Marg was an advocate for women's sports where she dedicated many hours to coaching a variety of teams. Marg began teaching P.E. in Parry Sound in 1962. Marg furthered her education by obtaining qualifications as a Guidance Counsellor at which she worked until her retirement in 1985. Over her beloved career as an educator, she influenced the lives of many students. To Marg, teaching was not just an occupation, it was a big part of who she was. Marg and Jerry were married in 1959. They had been high school sweethearts and after a lengthy courtship they married in Simcoe. Jerry's job with the Department of Lands and Forests brought him to Parry Sound and Marg secured a job teaching Phys. Ed. at the Parry Sound High School. Together they raised one daughter (Casie), and years later were blessed with four grandsons: Tyler, Jordan, Scott and Cameron. Marg and Jerry enjoyed many happy years of retirement where they were fortunate to travel to many parts of the world. For Marg, a favourite was Ireland. Her expression of, "There are only two types of people -- the Irish and those who wish they were", is well known to many. Marg's devotion to her daughter and grandsons was evident up to and including the day she passed. She felt extra blessed to become a Great Grandma to Harry Walter (Hal) Johnson and her visits with him were highlights in her life. Marg's hobbies over the years included golf, curling, boating on Georgian Bay (Marg and Jerry won their first boat!), tennis, badminton, bridge, knitting, and entertaining family and friends in their home. Marg was a devout Catholic and her faith in God was another source of strength for her. Her expression of, "Just ask the Blessed Virgin Mary for anything and your wishes will come true", was frequently shared with her family. Attending Church every Sunday was an extremely important part of Marg's life. Marg's last ten years of life were spent at Belvedere Heights in Parry Sound. Many friendships developed between Marg and fellow residents during this time. She enjoyed making people around her laugh by joking with the staff. She had a knack of giving them a run for their money. She was notoriously known as the woman with the Tilley hat and for many years Marg blessed the Home by playing the piano in the Fireside Lounge. Marg's family would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to the staff of Pine and Willow who dedicated many hours to Marg's care. Renate Koslofski was a true and loyal friend and caregiver. Thank you, Renate. Due to Covid restrictions, a private family Catholic service will take place on Sunday January 10, 2021 at the Logan Funeral Home (705-746-5855) in Parry Sound. A celebration of Marg's life will take place in the spring. Sympathy may be expressed through donations to Belvedere Heights, the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the charity of your choice. To quote Marg's words, "If you're not sure you're going to Heaven, make sure you get to Ireland." To send an on-line condolence, please visit www.logansfuneralhome.com

April 14, 1936 - December 20, 2020 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a beautiful soul. Betty Lavoie, loving wife of Verne for 64 years, mother to Joe (Helen), Pennie (Mike), Chris (Kurt) and Rose (Peter). She will be missed by her many grandchildren whom she cherished. Tyler, Jordy, Cody, Cadence, Marshall, Grace, Harland, Rose, Ben and Alex. Predeceased by her parents Grace and Herb Jackson and Brother Edward. Betty was born in Parry Sound, Ontario on April 14, 1936. At the age of 20, she met and married Verne and later moved to Oakville. In 1970, when Kimberly Clark opened, they moved to Huntsville where she lived for 50 years. Betty loved children and her home was a safe space where you would always be welcomed with a hug. During her years in Huntsville she made many close friends, lots of fun dinner parties with the Potlukkers and weekend getaways with fellow quilters. She loved spending time with family and would travel to Parry Sound often to visit her mother and her siblings, Bill (Gail), Gail (Calvin), Danny (Lois) and Paul (Sharon). She grew up on Georgian Bay and for years enjoyed boating with Verne to Copperhead Island. Betty also loved to sew, she worked at Nina's Sewing Centre for years and this interest led her to her favourite pastime, quilting. She was generous with her time and love and donated many quilts for fund raising raffles and the Salvation Army. Gratefully we are all blessed with having her beautiful quilts in our homes and cherish them. Her love of quilting brought her much joy but sadly Alzheimer's robbed her of her ability to continue the craft she loved. Verne was able to keep her safe at home and care for her while the disease continued to progress. During the early hours of Sunday, December 20th, Betty was freed from the mind that failed her and suffers no more. In keeping with Betty's wishes, cremation has taken place. The family will celebrate her life when family and friends can come together to do so. As an expression of sympathy and in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Muskoka.

To friends and family so dear, As 2021 starts, it is hard to feel like turning the page on 2020. Turning the page sounds so simple and maybe even fills some of you with a sense of relief, however for us, it means accepting that Rob is no longer here with us. It requires us to move forward in life without him. We are not ready to do this. I am not ready to do this. I will start 2021 with Rob, as he is a part of me, just as I am a part of him. I will not fear losing him as this new year begins, because I cannot lose what we had and continue to have: love, a force we both believed in and depended on. I believe love will get me through this year, as I hope it will for everyone who was touched by his gentle, fun-loving, and inquisitive nature. On behalf of the Carreau family, I would like to give our heartfelt thanks to each and every person who has reached out to support us, and who continues to be there for us as we try to make sense of Rob's unexpected death. Despite beliefs that this was the path he was destined to take, in my heart I believe that it was too soon. I can acknowledge that Rob was an old soul. In his 43 years, he managed to add beauty to the world in so many ways and will continue to do so through those he impacted along his journey. Let us focus on this beauty as we start 2021 and let us not leave 2020 behind, but rather take the lessons we've been taught, and keep them with us as we move forward, to help ourselves and everything in this world become the best it can be. With gratitude and love, Lavinia & Carreau family ~ xo

April 29, 1961 - December 9, 2020 Passed away peacefully at the age of 59 years, after a lengthy journey with cancer. He was surrounded with love as he passed in the arms of his wife Janis Zakoor. In Bill's view, cancer should never be called a "battle"; it is a journey. His journey made him a better person. It made him realize that we are all just leaves on a tree - life is a blip in time. Time that is a gift to be used wisely. Bill's journey taught him the important things in life are intangible; that it is more gratifying to give than to receive. He gave of himself selflessly, and left a beautiful mark in this world. Bill was an avid volunteer, and took great pride in helping to make the lives of others better, if only for a little while. The medicine wheels and little canoes he made and distributed to many will always be symbolic of who he was. Please remember "the canoe guy", whose little canoes represent our life's journey. Cherished brother to Cathy (Wade) DeMerchant and Nancy (Chip) Schafer. Bill is predeceased by his parents Ernest & Joan McMeekan. Remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family, many friends, and all those that had the pleasure of meeting him. Cremation has taken place. Friends will be received at the Torrance Funeral Home on Friday, December 18th from 11 - 1 p.m. Funeral service to follow at 1 p.m. (Subject to Covid Capacity green zone restrictions). A Celebration of life will be held in the spring. If desired, donations to the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation would be appreciated by the family.

"What is my Purpose in life?" I asked the void. "What if I told you that you fulfilled it when you took an extra hour to talk to that kid about his life?" said the voice. "Or when you paid for that young couple in the restaurant? Or when you saved that dog in traffic? Or when you tied your father's shoes for him?" "when you choose to act out of kindness, compassion and love, you are already aligned with your true purpose." It is with sadness, that we share the passing of Allan Ernest Helmkay Thursday, October 29, 2020 in his 70th year. For those that knew Allan, they knew he truly fulfilled his purpose in life. Allan was a kind, caring and forgiving person that always gave people a second chance. He was the loving father of Scott, Adam, Edward and the late Kristopher Helmkay as well as grandfather to Mackenzie, Noah and Brycen. Allan was predeceased by his sister Isabel, his brother Edward and survived by sisters Bernadette (Sheldon) and Donna (Everett). He will be missed by many nieces, nephews and a host of long-time friends. Allan grew up in Swords and went to Parry Sound high school. He had a long career with the Teamsters driving for Husband Transport and later CN Route. He followed that with a lengthy career as a member of the Operating Engineers working primarily for Jack Greedy Limited followed by Clean Harbours where he worked across the country. Allan always came back to the home he loved, his farm. This was a working farm for many years that he worked alongside his predeceased parents Frank and Elsie Helmkay. Allan loved spending family time there, snowmobiling, bonfires, pig roasts, gardening, hunting, fishing and just enjoying life. He had an amazing work ethic, but in the rare times he wasn't working he managed to do some traveling with family on cruises, to Florida and multiple trips to Mexico. Allan will be missed and lovingly remembered by all that were blessed to know him. A celebration of life for Allan will be held at a later date due to COVID-19 restrictions. If so desired, a donation in his memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Society. In closing, this sums up Allan. I did not wish to rule the world Nor be someone of might I simply wished to live in peace and do whatever is right. I had no wish for millions I had no dreams of wealth I asked only for a happy life, my family and my health. R.B. Harte

Anje (Vickers) Palamar of Parry Sound, Ontario passed away in the early hours of November 22, 2020 at the age of 72, after a valiant and fiercely fought battle with cancer, in her home surrounded by her adoring family. She was a bright and glimmering constellation of love, light and hope who was beloved by many and will be eternally missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband Dennis Palamar for 53 years, and her three sons Dean (Kim, Emiley and Nicolas), Tyler (Nancy, Paige and Brooke) and Ryan Palamar, her brother Charles Vickers (Melinda Vickers), and her sisters Charlotte Stewart (Gordon Stewart) and Carla Cusiter. Her sense of humor and genuine concern for the wellbeing of others remained embedded within her spirit even until her final moments. Anje was born in 1948 in Parry Sound, Ontario, to father Charles Vickers and mother Johanna Ritzma. She grew up in a large and warmhearted family in Parry Sound while spending her summers on her father's family farm in North Seguin and also at the cottage with her parents, brother and two sisters in Orrville, on Sugar Lake. Anje was a wonderfully determined individual, a hardworking entrepreneur, loving wife and mother, avid traveller, a faithful friend to many, gardener and artist, and a fashionista whose eclectic sense of style was always a force to be reckoned with. As per Anje's request, cremation has taken place. Once we are all able to gather in a safe and conscientious manner, we will be holding a celebration of life, hopefully in spring of 2021.
