CASEY, Dorothy Celeste

Dorothy Celeste Casey (née Cooper) has slipped silently away from us this 18th day of June, just a week shy of her 104th birthday. We may mourn her passing but she lived a full life and passed with the dignity she carried throughout her time.  She came of age with a stock of strong women, friends from decades past who went on to build this country and taught us all how to survive and to thrive as a community. They did not have an easy passage. Of her original ‘Club’, all, save one, have gone on ahead. She survived two Global Pandemics, two World Wars and lived her transformative years through the Great Depression. Nevertheless she went on to know five Prime Ministers, met the Queen (twice, yes, twice ), and two Popes (from afar, but yet, there they were) and numerous Senators, Cabinet Ministers and Members of Parliament, Mayors, journalists, writers of renown and artists. She was particularly moved by the tragic passing of the Indigenous Artist Benjamin Che Che and dedicated many of her charitable donations to helping native scholarship. Dorothy remained active until near the end; she loved to walk and she practised a healthy lifestyle. She lived in the moment, loved politics and consumed the newspaper daily. She embraced a wide social network and was a regular patron at the National Arts Centre and the National Gallery. She lived life to the full. She was pre-deceased by her mother Irene and father Arlington and brothers Roy, Harry, Gordon, Jeffrey and baby John and sister Lois. And in the great Irish tradition tonnes and tonnes of aunts and uncles and cousins, first, second to twelfth removed. They’ve gone ahead to light the path. Also pre-deceased by her husband James

Jimmy Casey, Jimmy Casey where have you been?
We’ve been waiting for you to come for her
And now, thankfully, you have
You look grand you two.
Off you go, we’ll be fine

She is survived by her sister Ellen (Jack), sister-in-law Kathe and her children Susan, Michael (Tineke), Patrick (Kim), Sheila (Tom) and Brian (Nicole). Her Grandchildren were the light of her life. Irene (Michael), James (Zoe), Liam (Shannon) and Brenna (Jason) who span the globe here to Etobicoke and on to Shanghai. And doubly blessed by the Great Grandchildren Oliver, Claire, Cameron, Cooper, Dylan and baby Sean.  And all her wonderful friends, from here and there. She touched them all. The family is grateful to the wonderful caring staff at the Lord Lansdowne who have made her final years such an easy joy. To Abby and Zoe who gave such comfort and Geoff who never failed to extract the most beautiful smile, and many more, too many to mention here. Thanks to you all. Several years ago Dorothy established a fund to support children and adults with mental disabilities. Those wishing to may make a donation to the Dorothy Casey Foundation care of the Ottawa Community Foundation, 301-75 Albert Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5E7; by cheque payable to the Ottawa Community Foundation or online at Dorothy Casey Foundation.

FERNIE, Maureen Ellen
(né MacMartin)

Peacefully on March 26, 2021 at the age of 86 years. Maureen was born at the old Ottawa General Hospital on April 13th, 1934. She grew up on Flora Street with her brothers, Larry and Joseph, and went to Immaculata High School. Maureen loved reading, a good G and T by the pool, dancing, cross country skiing, her needlework and telling the stories of her life. Tragically, Maureen lost her two children, Peter and Erin, to Cystic Fibrosis and then was widowed (Don McCarthy) at an early age. Her passionate volunteerism won her the Breath of Life award from Cystic Fibrosis Canada. In the late 70s, Maureen trained to be a medical secretary and worked for years at the Heart Institute. Maureen found love again when she met Joe Fernie at the RA badminton club and they married at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on November 14, 1981. Joe was welcomed into Maureen’s family by her mother, Evelyn, stepfather, Norman Duggan, brother, Larry (Betty-Ann), nephews, Jamie and Mathew and step-brother, Mike Duggan (Wendy) and their children Shaun, god-daughter Nancy, and Sharon. Maureen in turn embraced Joe’s family with open arms and delighted in all the exploits of Joe’s children, Alan (Mandy), Derek (Brigid), Ian (Deborah) and Gillian (Bruce) and eventually grandchildren, Kailie (Tim), Mitchell, Madi, Cameron, Jake, Nicholas and Sawyer and great-grandchildren, Liam and Weston. Granny was beloved by all the kids. Her sparkling blue eyes would light up at every giggle. Maureen and Joe never missed a birthday. Nothing was ever too small for her to acknowledge and compliment where the family was concerned. Maureen’s amazing pies were anticipated favorites at holiday gatherings. But most of all, Maureen adored Joe and devoted herself to him as a loving wife and partner in life. Locally, they enjoyed many laughs and celebrations with the Thursday dinner gang, their sporting life at the RA Centre and countless activities at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish including social suppers and bringing donations to the Shepherds of Good Hope. Together, they loved to travel, went "home" to Scotland many times to visit the Fernie clan, relaxed in Florida and explored Europe and the Caribbean. Right up until the end, Joe was by her side. Maureen had a zest for life, always taking care of those she loved. We are grateful for her loving heart and will miss her. Funeral mass to be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Saturday, April 10th at 11:00am. Many thanks to the wonderful caregivers at the Glebe Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations to Cystic Fibrosis Canada would be appreciated.

VON HERFF, Elisabeth Pia (né von Ritschl)

Born February 11, 1927 in Knittelfeld, Austria, Oma died in Ottawa on March 24, 2021 serene and content about her life and those she loved. Predeceased by her husband Christoph von Herff (2013), daughter Karin (1977) and brother Ruediger von Ritschl (1979), Elisabeth is survived by her son Michael von Herff, daughter-in-law Sheila McIntyre and adoring grandchildren William, Silas and Lucy. She also leaves nephews Ruediger and Andreas von Ritschl and will be missed by her extended McIntyre family who embraced her as part of their world over the past four decades: Elizabeth Engelke (Andrew), Charles McIntyre (Erin) and 'honorary grandchildren' Sarah, James, Connor and Seamus. The child of an Austrian officer and an English artist, Elisabeth’s family briefly immigrated to Canada in the mid-1930s before returning to Austria on the eve of the Second World War. She spent the war in Knittelfeld, surviving the death of her father, the bombing of her hometown and a 150 km journey on foot through the mountains to escape the advancing Red Army in May 1945. In 1952, Elisabeth immigrated to Canada along with her brother and mother, and settled in Toronto where she met her husband Chris von Herff. They raised two children and created a strong and loving partnership that survived the heartbreaking loss of their 14-year old daughter Karin to leukemia. Elisabeth’s life was anchored by the concept of family and the duty we have to care for others – whether it was her immediate relations or the extended family that she and Chris created in Toronto and later in the Ottawa Valley. Their house was a gathering point for a wide assortment of friends, many of whom were also immigrants to Canada and were drawn to the von Herff dinner table for Elisabeth’s Austrian home cooking and spontaneous hospitality. Even though she worked full time, she routinely planned for dinner to include the company of one or more friends who just happened to drop by at mealtimes. Elisabeth’s professional life involved a variety of administrative roles and, later in life, work as a travel agent. Like so many others she was an active volunteer in her community and took particular pride in being part of founding the Valley Festival, which brought choral and classical music performances to the Ottawa Valley. She loved classical music and in her 90s took full advantage of living in Ottawa to subscribe to the NAC Orchestra’s concert series, always bringing along a friend or neighbour as her guest. She was so thankful for the friendship and loving support she received from her friends at Park Place over the past eight years and the carers at Amica Westboro in her final months. Most of all, she was grateful to Canada for the life it gave her and, in particular, those working in our health care system who were always there when her family needed comfort and healing. A celebration of life will take place Sunday, March 28 at 11AM (ET) via Zoom. In addition, Elisabeth has insisted that 'a big party' be held at the time of her interment when friends and family can safely gather to celebrate a life well lived. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to SOS Children’s Villages Canada https://www.soschildrensvillages.ca/ an organization dear to the family’s heart. Arrangements entrusted to the Whelan Funeral Home, For Zoom coordinates, please contact by email:info@WhelanFuneralHome.ca or tel. 613.233-1488 for further details.

TAYLOR, John Harry
May 18, 1939 - November 18, 2020
(Professor Emeritus - Carleton University)

John died peacefully at Park Place Retirement Residence after a short illness. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta, the son of Connie Burden and Jack Taylor. Forever cherished by his loving partner and companion of 35 years, Ruth Kirk. Proud father of: Alex of Vancouver; Sabrina (Nick Torr) of Baton Rouge; Andreas of Noosa, Australia; and Nathan (Erin McClelland) of Madrid. Loving grandfather of Maya, Reif and Eva. Survived by his two brothers Don (late Maureen) of Courtenay, BC and Kent (Pamela) of Edmonton.

John was truly a Renaissance man, a consummate communicator, voracious reader and an analytical thinker whose library and conversation bespoke a man well-versed in the humanities. His wonderfully-composed photos hang in homes on Faraday Street where they document the street's children as they grew from babies to young adults and in the halls of the History Department of Carleton University where his portraits of retired professors grace the walls. His Nova Scotia landscapes and seascapes were of professional quality and were sold in a Nova Scotia shop near his summer home. John believed that a healthy body complements a healthy mind. He was a frequent participant in the international cross-country ski race, the Gatineau Loppet; and he was a white water canoeist par excellence, able to tackle any set of rapids with careful planning and use of his superior technique.

John was a gourmet cook, a musician, a family historian, a gardener, a builder, and a man who could fix anything. John was clearly a polymath but more importantly, he was a true gentleman who treated all with genuine respect and kindness. He made deep connections with his communities and was generous in his support of them - the villages of Lake Annis and Port Maitland, Nova Scotia, his peers at Carleton University, his neighbours and the international travelers he and Ruth met through Friendship Force Ottawa.

Early on, his leadership and ethic of community service were evident. Upon graduation from Victoria Composite High School in Edmonton, he received the highest award in the school - the C.O. Hicks Citizenship Award for service to the school. After high school he worked in a Yellowknife gold mine to earn money for university studies and eventually graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in physics and engineering and a Masters in history. He worked as a reporter for the Edmonton Journal and later for the Vancouver Sun. Always a learner, John then pursued PhD studies in Canadian history.

John had a long and distinguished career as a history professor at Carleton University. His areas of teaching and research were Canadian history and urban history where he was recognized as a leading teacher. He was a co-founder and long-time editor of the Urban History Review as well as a frequent contributor. His leadership was instrumental in bringing prominence to urban history as a field of study in Canada. He was keenly interested in the preservation of Ottawa's built heritage, and with his knowledge enlivened by his ready wit, he was in demand as a frequent speaker at conferences and heritage events. In 1985, John authored the award-winning Ottawa: An Illustrated History.

John's family would like to thank the staff of Park Place Retirement Residence for the dedication, care and compassion given to him in the last two years of his life. A celebration of John's life will be held privately due to COVID-19 protocols. Messages of condolence can be shared with the family at ( memoriesofjohntaylor@gmail.com ). When it is safe to travel and gather together, John's ashes will be interred in the Taylor family plot in Wainwright Cemetery, Wainwright, Alberta. If you would like to do so, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice in John's memory.

GOODWIN, Robert Douglas

After a beautiful and full life, Doug passed away peacefully November 6th with his loving partner and children by his side.

Proud Papa of Grant (Miki), Micheline (Stephen) and Stephanie (Drew) and loving grandfather of Jonny, Kirk, Ethan, Ian, Sam, and Charlie. Butch was especially close to his siblings Alice (late David Parkinson), John (Shirley), and Nancy (Ron Hutchinson), his nieces, nephews and their children.

Born in Ottawa in 1939, Doug lived a full life in the city he loved dearly. He dedicated his life’s work to education, with a distinguished career as a teacher and principal with the ORCSSB. Doug’s most notable stop was at St. Anthony School on Booth Street, where he immersed himself in the community and became a lifelong regular at both Giovanni’s coffee shop and St. Anthony’s Church.

Nothing made Butch happier than time with his family, telling old stories about growing up in Ottawa and afternoons spent at the ballpark or football game. Baseball and all sports were his passion, with the Astros and Lynx dominating his comically large ball cap collection. When not in Ottawa, Doug could be found in Florida with Colleen, either in the pool or on a long beachwalk. In his later years if you wanted to catch up with him, you'd need to join him at the coffee shop or on his daily walk at Carlingwood.

Above all, Butch was a family man, always kind, generous and agreeable. He was the first one to line up for roller coaster rides, a fixture at Ottawa CFL games, the MC of our family events, and the generous provider of Christmas prizes for everyone. He was humble and grateful for his family, regularly saying he felt blessed and that he didn't know how he got so lucky.

We are forever thankful for the team that took such care with Doug over the last decade, including Drs. Mielniczuk, Nehme and McCormick. For those who wish, donations to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute would be appreciated. Due to the pandemic, a private service will be held.

Doug is so loved and will be fondly remembered by his family, friends and the communities he was part of. There won't be another one like him.

DERUGA, Maria Jadwiga
April 9, 1945 in Tehran, Iran – October 8, 2020 in Ottawa

Maria passed away peacefully on October 8, at the age of 75 with family by her side. Maria was born Maria Jadwiga Pialucha in Tehran, Iran on April 9, 1945 to parents Piotr Pialucha and Wiesia Szwacz. Her beautiful journey began in Iran following her parents springing from captivity in World War Two. After living and navigating her infancy through the Middle East, Maria landed in England where she spent her childhood and young adult years. She then immigrated to Canada, settling in Ottawa where she lived in Centretown and worked in the Glebe and Ottawa South.

Maria was a fiercely proud and devoted mother and grandmother, as well as a dedicated and loving sister and wife. She leaves behind her three sons (Arthur, Johnny, and Andrew), three grandchildren (Ray, Liana and Alyssa), sister (Zosia), husband (Andrew), present and future daughter-in-laws (Eriko, Christy), nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of relatives and friends on several continents.

Maria was a woman of tremendous character, with deeply rooted values, and spiritual fortitude. She had tremendous will, an abundance of positivity, love of life and family, and a unique ability in finding and enabling others to see the best in life. She applied these qualities to improve the lives of others and bring happiness to those around her with an infectious smile and glow. This was part of her daily fabric and calling in life.

In practice, she dedicated her life and service to raising children, and communities. Mom, or Bapcia to her grandchildren, raised three sons and cared for her grandchildren with unconditional love and devotion. As an educator and caretaker, Maria served as an elementary school teacher for a decade and as school age teacher at Glebe Parent’s Daycare for over 25 years. She taught us all what it meant to find the best in people and helped bring out their greatest qualities and purpose in life. She helped shape countless students, children and colleagues to achieve their potential and live meaningful and impactful lives.

She wore her suffering with grace and overcame adversity with love and devotion. Her legacy continues to live on in all people she touched. Her sons are eternally grateful to have grown up with her unconditional love and guidance, her tremendous warmth, and her never-ending quest to make sure they were happy and found the best in life.
In Maria’s spirit and memory, please consider making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross – Migrant and Refugee Services.

GALLINGER, Patricia

With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Patricia Lillian Gallinger (nee McKenna) on September 20 in the early morning hours, her favorite time of day. Deceased at age 96, Pat was young at heart until the end and will be dearly remembered for her playfulness, classy demeanour and kind smile.

Born in Toronto in 1923, Pat was really a northern girl at heart having been raised in Timmins, Ontario. Fiercely independent and eager to explore the world, she left the comfort and security provided by her devoted parents at the age of sixteen to attend Mrs. Klock’s School of Business in Ottawa. Her courageous and adventurous spirit then led her to Montreal where she worked during WW II with Dominion Rubber and Department of War Assets.

At 26 years old, Pat returned to Timmins where she took on employment as an administrative assistant with mining companies. That is also where she met her first husband, Jack Hamilton. Married in 1953, Jack took his new bride to Lima, Peru, where as a geologist, he was to be employed in the mines. Even though they expected to share a long life together, Jack passed away in 1964. Pat met life’s challenges with resilience and strength, and as a widow moved back to Ottawa and raised her two daughters on her own. In 1970, a work colleague, Betty Lester, arranged a blind date for Pat with Syd Gallinger, and he soon after became her second husband. Syd was a hobby farmer so Pat switched her high heels for rubber boots and the couple homesteaded in West Templeton, QC over the next 23 years. Their marriage brought together a blended family, with Pat’s two daughters, Syd’s four children and the birth of their own daughter. They shared 45 years together before Syd’s passing in 2015.

In recent years Pat suffered dementia, but her quick wit and sharp sense of humour never failed. She touched many with her sweet disposition and open heart.

Pat will be profoundly missed by her loving family who are forever grateful to have been loved and guided by her.

She will be dearly remembered by her children Lesley Hamilton (John), Colleen Hamilton, Joanna Gallinger (Allen) and Sydney Gallinger Jr. (Brian), Tom Gallinger (Christine), Bob Gallinger and Susan Reynolds (Tim).

Proud and cherished grandmother of Jamie, Sarah, Jessica, Dustin, Dylan and Jonathan, Sean, Benjamin, Clayton and Amy. Predeceased by grandson Ajay Nichol. Will be missed by her great grandchildren Adam, Jessalyn, Aaron and Brian.

Predeceased by brother Kenny McKenna and sister Gloria Strong. She will be greatly missed by her sister-in-law Jennie and many nieces and nephews.

Our family would like to thank the staff at Oak Park Retirement Community for their care and compassion. We are also deeply grateful to MLC Healthcare for the companionship and devotion shown our mother in recent years.

Memorial donations may be made to
The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County

Always a Maritimer at heart, he leaves behind his mother Zelda McAllister, sisters Debbie McAllister, Dawn Fitzpatrick and Darcy Carter, brothers-in-law Bill Carter and Doug Fowler, sisters-in-law Lois Fenety, Susan Young, and Karen Fowler, as well as their families who although not living close were never far from his thoughts or wonderful memories of times spent together.

PIKE, Flora Isabella

Flora Pike, born in Carbonear, Newfoundland, passed peacefully away on July 2nd at 93 years of age, leaving her loving family deeply saddened but forever grateful to have been loved and guided by her. Flo was raised in a loving family by Frank and Winnifred (Moore) Pike with her brothers John and Frank Jr. A close family circle and a vital, thriving community shaped her values, aspirations and great compassion, ultimately enabling her happy life and rewarding career path. As a teenager, Flo began her post-secondary education at Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB before pursuing studies in Nursing at the Montreal General Hospital. Upon graduation in 1950, she returned to Newfoundland to join dedicated families and a talented inter-disciplinary team of health professionals in the establishment of the Sunshine Camp, supportive of children facing physical challenges. In the years that followed, Flo’s life was largely shaped by her two life passions, specialized nursing and travel. She moved to Montreal and began a remarkable career at the Shriners Hospital for Children, an acute care center providing orthopaedic specialty care. There, her leadership and service were legendary. In her position as Head Nurse, her commitment to her young patients and their parents resonated within the hospital community and her relationships with patients and their families were lasting. Flo retired from the Shriners Hospital in the late 1980's and moved to Ottawa, always remaining in touch with former patients, traveling companions, relatives and friends. Flo's thirst for exploring the world continued all her life as diversity of culture and landscape intrigued her. Her busy life in Montreal and Ottawa included a love of bridge and curling and her travels around the globe were fascinating, but nothing kept Flo from returning home to Newfoundland every year for Christmas. For Flo, family trumped everything and her adoring family, especially her many nieces and nephews to whom she was devoted, would count the days until her arrival and relish every moment with her. She shared her life with them, traveled with them and supported them in every way possible; she was loving, adventurous and mountainous in their eyes. There is much to celebrate in a long and happy life, a purposeful career and an unfailing contribution to one’s family. Her nieces and nephews were, in essence, her children and their lives were lifted by her because of her unwavering interest in them. In particular, perhaps her most precious relationships were with her niece Patti Pike, whose love and support for Flo was unparalleled and with her cousin Heather (Moores) Martin, her husband Rex and their children Steven and Andrew, Flo’s family in Ottawa. Flo was predeceased by her parents, her beloved brother John Powell Pike and sister-in-law, Florence Blackmore Pike and her dear friend Mary O'Flaherty. With lasting memories, Flo leaves her much loved brother Frank and her sister-in-law Betty Pike, her adoring nieces and nephews, Bev, Bob, Janice, Frank, Janine, Valerie and Patti, their families and many dear cousins and friends. Special thanks to Dr. Nicole Dunlop, the teams at The Redwoods, LHIN and West End Villa, Anne and James McEwen and Fiona Hennessy. Cremation, entrusted to Whelan Funeral Home, has taken place in Ottawa and a celebration of life and interment will take place at a later date in Carbonear, NL. For those wishing to remember Flo, intentional gestures of kindness, a donation to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal or a children's organization close to your heart would be appreciated.

CARDINAL von WIDDERN, Cord Jurgen
January 26, 1940 - June 19, 2020

It is with great sadness that the family announces Cord Sr.’s passing, of natural causes on June 19th, 2020 in Ottawa at the age of 80. Cord Sr. was known for his ingenuity, organization and his love of family.

Cord Sr. thoroughly enjoyed his professional years of teaching at Algonquin College, as professor of Electronics. Colleagues and students enjoyed his good humour and both liked and respected him. Favourite pastimes included tending to his farm property in Pakenham, maintaining immaculate care of his home and cars, playing cards, time spent out-of-doors, tending to his full and bountiful garden and spending as much time as possible with his family, especially loving every moment spent with his grandchildren.
His immediate and extended family, Ottawa neighbours and friends, along with his and Monika’s dear friends from their winters spent in Vero Beach, FL, will always cherish their memories of times spent with Cord Sr.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Cord Sr. and his special angel grandson, Nathan Wattie, a donation to CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario) would be gratefully acknowledged by the family.

SARAVANAMUTTOO, HELEN DALZIEL
21 May 1935-16 June 2020

Beloved wife and best friend of Herb, loving mother of Colin (Colleen), Malcolm (Dianne) and Neil (Kim), adored Grannie of Taylor, Kendall, Callum, Paige and Jemima, not to mention 10 grand-dogs over the years. Helen was born in Newport, Wales but grew up in Scotland. She was Dux (Valedictorian) of North Berwick High School before emigrating to Canada in 1956. Helen and Herb were married in 1960 when she was completing her BA at the University of Toronto. She worked for the Toronto Board of Education as an Attendance Counsellor (Truant Officer!) and maintained a horrendous door knock all her life. In 1964, she moved to Bristol, England when Herb accepted a faculty appointment at the University of Bristol. All three sons were born in Bristol before the family returned to Canada when Herb joined Carleton University. Helen stayed at home until the boys were well into their education and resumed her own studies, starting with a Child Care Diploma from Algonquin College, followed by a BA (1st class hons) in Psychology from Carleton. She then started a long career as a social worker, primarily at the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa-Carleton and the Canadian Security Establishment. She obtained an MSW from Carleton and was very active in the social work profession. She was Treasurer of the Social Planning Council of Ottawa-Carleton for several years and President-Elect of the National Council of Women. Global travel was one of her great joys and she travelled extensively with Herb, her sons, and best of all, her grandchildren, who explored Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia with most points in between. The grandchildren learned quite rapidly that it was a waste of time trying to out-stubborn Grannie. In later life, she enjoyed hiking in Scotland and New Zealand, and at age 70 walked the West Highland Way, 100 miles from Glasgow to Fort William. Her last years were affected by dementia, but she retained her sociable and friendly personality to the very end. The family would like to thank the staff of the Lord Lansdowne Residence for their kindness and caring. A celebration of life will be held when the situation allows it. Those wishing to make a donation in Helen's memory are asked to consider the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa or World Animal Protection.

Many happy years were spent enjoying his hobby farm by the Rideau River Park near Kemptville, where he was a neighbour, farmer, helper and friend to all. Dad served quietly with Calvary Baptist, Kemptville Salvation Army and St Paul’s Presbyterian churches. Dad was a lover of God, people and lively discussion. He had a great sense of humour and fun, lived simply and humbly and loved with forgiveness and grace. Cremation has taken place and Dad’s ashes will be laid to rest at Kemptville Public Graveyard. Thank you to all the staff at the Perley Rideau, in both the Assisted Living and Rideau LTC, for their compassionate care.

LOCKWOOD, Janis Elaine

Janis Elaine Lockwood, died peacefully in her sleep, at home in Ottawa on Thursday, June 5, 2020. Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, December 6, 1954 to Elizabeth (Betty) and Wallace (Wally) Lockwood, Janis was joined by siblings, Brian, Gina and David. The family moved from Halifax to Ottawa, where Janis went to Fisher Heights Public School, then to San Diego for a few years before settling in Crystal Beach, where Janis went to Lakeview Public, Bayshore Public, Bell High School. In the mid-70s Janis attended St. Patrick’s College at Carleton University.

Janis was active in left-wing politics in her youth, including the Ottawa Centre Waffle election campaign of 1974, and its offshoot, the Ottawa Committee for Labour Action. Her artistic skills were welcome, designing newsletters, leaflets and posters for local events. Janis’ broad range of skills benefitted many organizations including the Ottawa Coalition for Low Income Support Services (OCLISS), the Studies in Political Economy journal, and the Ad Hoc Coalition for Women’s Equality and Human Rights. In the 1991 she enrolled at Algonquin College in the PATH program for women interested in non-traditional careers. She gained a deep understanding of sound, graduating as an Electronics Engineering Technician In 1993. She subsequently worked for the National Archives in the audio recordings section.

It was in the mid-90s that Janis started to live with the love of her life, Fred Guignion, an outstanding local guitarist. When they met their mutual interests met as well - books, guitars, music, classical music, all kinds of different music! Despite Fred’s rock reputation, they always seemed perfectly at home, reading books.

Janis was part of and helped to build a vibrant music community in Ottawa through her early work at the Ottawa Folklore Centre and as the Coordinator for the Ottawa Folk Festival for many years. But perhaps her greatest contribution in terms of hours, sweat and tears was to the mighty, but often struggling, 93.1, CKCU FM Radio Carleton. Janis’ entry to CKCU was in the mid-70s working on a feminist public affairs show called ‘Off the Pedestal’. Her journey with CKCU spanned over 40 years, hosting music shows featuring her eclectic blend of ‘Folk, funk, blues, bluegrass, jazz, juju, rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll: an old school mix for music lovers who refuse to be confined by narrow categories’. She played a central role on the Board of Directors for CKCU, assuming the helm as Board Chair to steer the station clear of financial ruin, and she stepped up to shoulder the task of coordinating CKCU’s funding drive for many years.

Janis loved to laugh, to listen to live music, to dance, to read voraciously, to play the guitar and mandolin, to have a good political debate, and to talk for hours to her friends. She was thoughtful, kind and considerate and will be missed deeply.

She is survived by her sister Gina, her brothers Brian and David (Jason), her beloved partner of 25 years, Fred Guignion and his brothers Edward (Keith), Eric and Carl, to whom Janis was a sister.

To celebrate Janis’s life, please support public broadcasting, campus and community broadcasting, live music, a local charity and each other.

He is predeceased by his parents, Murray and Lottie (née Shanks), his brothers, Gary and Terry, and his wife, Beverly (née Long).

Gerry was a retired member of the Royal Canadian Navy (Communications), a talented writer of poetry, a lover of learning (and teaching!) and most of all, a very dearly loved human being by all those he would meet.

WINOGRON, Irene

With deep sadness, we share the news of the passing of our dear mom, Irene Winogron, on Friday April 17, 2020.

After falling ill on Easter Sunday, her health continued to decline and she was called to Our Lord on Friday evening. We are grateful that she received the sacrament of the sick and additional prayers before her passing.

Irene lived a full life -- in many ways incredible. One of six daughters of the Duduk family living in Poland at the start of the Second World War, her five sisters and parents had their door knocked open by Russian soldiers in the middle of the night and were ordered to take only a few necessary belongings with them -- including warm clothes. They were loaded into train cars to Siberia, where they lived in the horrible cold, with almost no food or drink. Her older sisters were ordered to work in the camp, and for the parents and younger children, the challenge was to simply survive. After an agreement with the Polish Army in Exile under Gen. Anders, the Russians released the families, and the Polish internees became refugees and were sent to one of several countries. Our mother’s family lived for a time in Palestine, in Ein Karem (The birthplace of John the Baptist) where she survived Typhoid fever, and in Argentina among other places, and eventually settled in Canada. We found it amusing that my mother was able to surprise and entertain some of the staff in recent years at her retirement home by speaking to them in fluent Spanish, or Polish, Russian, or English. She was known for being feisty at times in her later years, at the same time giving staff at her retirement home many laughs, and for making them sing along to songs like ‘Goodnight Irene,’ ‘Que Sera Sera,’ and particularly ‘You are my Sunshine!’

Irene is lovingly remembered by her sons, Robert (Bob and Martha) William (Bill and Karla) and Steve (Pauline), and her sister Aleksandra, and is also survived by five grandchildren, Richard, Patrick, Adam, Sage and Haley and by three great-grandchildren, Kylen, Kaden and James, and many nieces and nephews in Ottawa and Chicago.

Our mom lived a life of Catholic faith, and of devoted service. She met Richard (our father) here in Ottawa. But as if life hadn’t thrown her enough challenges, she was widowed in her 30’s back in 1968. She supported and encouraged her three sons, with the eldest, Bob, becoming a lawyer, the second , Bill, becoming a Doctor (psychologist), and the youngest, Steve becoming a broadcast journalist.

Family and friends have comforted us with so many tales of our mom’s delightful sense of humour, her steadfast protection of her family in the world of the 1960s, her deep faith and her love of laughter and family. She now joins four sisters who have passed on before her. A private family funeral was celebrated by Fr. Timothy Nelligan on April 24, 2020 at Blessed Sacrament Church, to be followed by a public mass and celebration of her incredible life, love and laughter in the coming months when the current health crisis passes.

If inclined, a memorial donation would be greatly appreciated to a charity mom helped build, and where she volunteered for countless years. St. Hyacinth Mission fund, PO Box 46089, 2339 Ogilvie Rd, Gloucester ON K1J 9M7 or via www.canadahelps.org

Sarah Elizabeth Coons Laughlin, ‘Betty’, of Ottawa, Ontario went to her final rest at Saint Parrick’s Nursing Home in Ottawa on Saturday, April 18, 2020; she was 98 years old. She was an intelligent, vibrant and feisty woman who easily connected socially, had many friends and became the core of family connections and reunions. She grew up in St Stephen, New Brunswick where her father, Thomas Laughlin, ran a local pharmacy. She became renowned as a basketball star and also excelled at skating and was a sought after dance partner. She left Canada when she married an American, Mel Coons, and moved to Massachusetts to raise her two daughters, Ceila and Marsha. She was active in church, scouts, coaching and golf. She continued with new friendships adn to cook, bake and sew. She loved her annual month long trips back to St. Stephen, eager to show her girls all about her hometown and country.

After her first husband passed at an early age, she was lucky to find love a second time in Bill Laughlin, remarried and moved back to Canada, settling this time in Ottawa. She became a successful real estate agent there, and after some moves, they settled in Nepean, where reading and bridge, true passions, took up her spare time. When retirement came, she and Bill travelled the world and spent winters in Florida and summers at her favorite house in St. Stephen, where she was most content and , yes, had kept up many friendships.

Loving mother of Celia Reilly (Rob) of Wallingford, Connecticut and predeceased daughter, Marsha Coons, stepson Bob Laughlin (Linda) and family of North Bay, Ontario, and stepdaughter Ann Stanfield (Paul) and family of Montreal, Quebec. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a special Nanny to Kristen French (Jon, son Jackson) of Lynn, Massachusetts, Matthew and Michael Reilly of Wallingford, Connecticut. Her nieces and nephews in her beloved New Brunswick and their families share special memories of their time with her. She was predeceased by first husband Mel Coons, second husband Bill Laughlin, her brother Bill Laughlin (wife Alice, son David, daughter Hilary), brother David Laughlin (first wife Pauline, second wife Eunice) and her parents, Thomas and Celia Laughlin.

The family extends warm appreciation to the Kilkenny staff at St. Patrick’s Home for their compassion, care and patience given to Betty and her family. The family also sends heartfelt gratitude to Karen Spanner - Lauzon and her staff for their continuing care, support and love.

Arrangements are through the Whelan Funeral Home in Ottawa, 613-233-1488.

HAWORTH, Norman Brian
(May 24, 1957 – December 23, 2019)

Passed away on December 23, 2019 at the Ottawa General Hospital at the age of 62.
Born in Toronto, Brian spent his life in Calgary, Montreal, Hawkesbury and Ottawa. He served with the Calgary Police Service from 1978 to 1989 as a constable and assisted with key software development. Concerned about at-risk-kids, he helped to design the Youth Unit within the police force and founded Calgary’s private Project Challenge for at-risk-youth; as the project’s first Director, his awareness campaign and program design enabled the project’s success. Dedicated to youth, he contributed to drafting of the Young Offenders Act under Justice Stevenson. Brian created a Calgary-based software training company which was ahead of its time both in concept and set-up. In Welland, Ontario, he taught community policing.
Brian was entrepreneurial, future-oriented and spun many business ideas. His creative mind was consistently thinking out of the box and no business matter was impossible. His remarkable talent to persuade rallied many. All who met him noticed his exceptional breadth of knowledge on a broad spectrum of subjects.
An avid and highly skilled chess player, he shared his knowledge of the game with many. He had an endearing love for animals, particularly his dogs, his last one being Phaedo, a stunning and brilliant border collie. Travelling with him, you would find him stop on roads rescuing strayed turtles or on the lookout for the next property investment. In his last years, he was a youth driving instructor teaching many students with disabilities. He also was an advocate for autism and Asperger syndrome sharing information with those on his path.
Proud father, Brian was happiest being with his children among whom are Sarah, Jordan, Issac, Andrew, Devon, and Christopher. He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Deborah (Bryant), siblings David and Susan (Bradley).
Brian had many dreams for a better world. If you wish to honour his life, please volunteer your support or make a donation to an at-risk-youth program in your local community. Or take a moment to read this book: The Journal of Best Practices by David Finch.
A private cremation was held. Brian’s remains will be returned to the natural outdoors near Algonquin Park, Ontario, the place where he found the most peace and rest.

LAFFERTY, Jean Renfrew
August 29, 1924- February 10, 2020

She graced us with her presence for 95 years. Born in Kingston into the Patrick family, she was the youngest of 9 surviving children. A tomboy at heart she braved and bested many boys at their own games. Always a strong and free spirit she charted a course that would be a path for the modern woman of today. After high school she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and was a telegraph operator in Halifax during World War ll. Shortly after the war she married her long time friend, pen pal and Latin coach, Terry Lafferty, and embarked on the service life travelling all over Canada, Germany and Iran on many postings. On the way she had 3 children: Patricia Jane, Terence Delamere and Laura Easton. While balancing the needs of the children, she greatly helped advance the career of Terry who retired as a full colonel in 1976. Coming back to live in Canada, they moved to a beautiful log house on the Gatineau river for many years enjoying close contact with friends, frequent forest walks, canoe paddles, bird watching, and cross-country skiing before moving to a more citified life in Ottawa. The curiosity of other countries and cultures always inspired her and Terry as they had many wonderful trips to China, Vietnam, Australia, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Ireland – a lot of these by bicycle. For 65 years Terry and Jean sauntered down the road of life together with all the highs and lows but Jean always charted the course of love and happiness. A stroke in 2011 did not diminish her enthusiasm for life even though it robbed her of her ability to understand language. She still dressed for the ‘nines’ and greatly enjoyed spending time with grand son Christopher Shane (Sarah Castator) and great grandchildren Boston and Kensy. After Terry passed in 2010, she had 10 wonderful years with her best friend and daughter Patricia (Bryan Shane). Deep and heartfelt thanks for the care Mom received from the nursing and support staff at the Lord Lansdowne Retirement Home and from the Champlain LHIN. Thanks to their support, Mom was able to stay in her home until the end. Thanks as well to Sean Copeland, Director of the Whelan Funeral Home in Ottawa. Final prayers will be said at a private family gathering at the National Military Cemetery in Beechwood in the spring.

Doug was happiest by the water with Joan, his family and his friends – whether the ocean in Nova Scotia, the Algarve in Portugal, but most especially at the cottage in Westport - taking boat rides, and looking at the loons on the lovely Upper Rideau Lake.

EMMERSON, Eva Mary (nee Feetham)

Born October 7 1934 she began her transition to eternal life on the evening of December 4 2019. She grew up in Hants County and always considered it the best place on earth:

   "The beautiful green fields in summer with the lovely apple orchards which blossomed in the spring and the apples came to full growth in August and September. I recall the picturesque Shubenacadie River which surrounded the property where we lived. Along the side of the river there stood many white birch, poplar and maple trees. There was a field behind my home which stretched about three quarters of a mile to a path which led down to the river. In summer there were raspberry, blackberry, and currant bushes there. In fall it became a unique scene with all the trees which turned lovely shades of yellows, reds and rust. Close to the river there was a small wooden bench where one could sit and watch the flowing current. It was indeed relaxing. In winter there was a meadow which froze over and we skated each day after school. The ice was clear as crystal and one could skate for hours there. These are the memories of this special part of Nova Scotia which I consider rich indeed to have."

She attended Mount Saint Vincent Academy and upon graduating then completed The Halifax Infirmary program securing certification as a laboratory technician. She married Robert Allen Emmerson in 1956. He predeceased her in 2006. She lived for many years in Rockingham where she was an active member of The Catholic Women’s League. She journeyed several times to the British Isles her second favorite place. She strove to live each day of her life with hope and with faith in God. She was predeceased by her brothers Robert Feetham and Noel Feetham. Remembering her with love are her daughters Mary Ruth Emmerson, Diane Emmerson, granddaughter Emilie Daigneault, son-in-law Mark Dinshaw, son-in-law Francois Daigneault; siblings June O'Brien, Vera Lord, Anna Smith, and John Feetham.

COPELAND, Lorraine

Our mother lived three months short of 100 years and saw many changes throughout her long life. She died with profound dignity on Tuesday, April 9, 2019 at the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa. She was surrounded by the love of her children. She was the much-loved only daughter of Ovila Beaudry and Mary (Cates) Beaudry. Born on July 24, 1919, she was a life-long resident of Ottawa. She met and married our father, the late Roy Copeland. Mom is forever loved and will be missed by her children; sons Patrick (JoAnn), London, UK; Paul (Carol Anne), Terry and Kevin, daughters Sharon Delorme (Moe) all of Ottawa and Carole McDougall, (Halifax, NS). She was deeply loved and shared a wicked sense of humour with grandchildren Sean (Kim), Matt (Birgit), Dan (Sophie), Christopher (Rachelle), Gregory and Patrick Copeland; Paula, Michaela (Graham) and Joanna Copeland-O’Reilly; Michael (Megan), Patrick (Lisa), Catherine McDougall; Erin and Neilan Copeland; Mark, Janet (Chris Cole) and John Kennedy (Sylvie). She is also survived by great-grandchildren Alex and William Copeland; Meia and Erika Copeland; Jack Copeland; Emma and Taite Cole; Owen and Liam Ahearn; Siena and Hayden O’Reilly; Rose McDougall; sister-in-law Fran Copeland and many nieces and nephews.’

Mom volunteered for 25 years at the Ottawa Heart Institute where she gave time and comfort to families facing difficult and life changing surgeries. She chose to help other families following dad’s heart surgery because she knew the stress, anxiety and potential heartbreak. Our family appreciates the dedication, comfort and compassion the nursing staff at the Queensway Carleton provided through her final days. We are extremely grateful to our sister, Sharon for looking after mom’s personal, medical, dental and other needs as she moved from independent to assisted living over the last number of years. The family would like to invite and appreciate friends joining them at a Mass of Christian Funeral at St. Patrick’s Parish Fallowfield, 15 Steeple Hill Cres. Nepean on Friday, April 26, 2019. The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. until commencement of the Mass at 11 a.m.. A time of refreshment and fellowship will follow in the Parish Hall. Internment will take place at Notre Dame Cemetery later in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Lorraine may be made to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

ROMANIUC, Anatole

February 28, 1924 - March 5, 2018

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Anatole, at home in Ottawa, after an incredibly rich and fortunate 94 year life. He was the loving husband of Maria Romaniuc (nee Teofilovic), proud father of Lara (Paul Saurette) and Alex (Rachel Creane), and ecstatic �Koko� to his grandson Belmont (or �Penchyk� as he was fond of calling him) - who always inspired bursts of laughter from Anatole�and vice versa.
His life was truly an adventure from start to finish. Born in 1924 in Ukraine (in what was formerly Bessarabia and part of Romania), he not only lost his own father early in life, but was forced to flee across Europe during the second world war, an experience that included successfully escaping both the (precursor to) the KGB and the Gestapo (twice!) and being separated from his mother and sister for 16 years because of the war.
Against all odds, he managed to pursue university studies at the University of Erlangen in Germany and the University of Leuven in Belgium where he earned a Ph.D in Economics. He also undertook post-graduate training in Paris and at Princeton University.
He began his career as a demographer in the Belgian Congo, as Chief of the Demography Bureau (1953 � 1961), where he led the first population census in that country. With the independence of the Democratic Republic of Congo he joined the University of Kinshasa as a researcher while continuing to serve the Congolese Central Government in his capacity as adviser on population to the Minister of Planning and Economic Coordination.
In 1961, he was recruited to Princeton as a research associate (leading him to learn his 6th language - English) and then, in 1964, decided to move to Canada because he found it a welcoming country while visiting for an academic conference.
In Canada, he pursued an academic career as Professor at the University of Ottawa and the University of Montreal. He occupied senior positions at Statistics Canada (1968-1993), including as Director of the Demography Division.
He was Fellow of the US Population Council (1961�62), President of the Federation of Canadian Demographers and a longstanding member of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population. He was honored for his many contributions to international and Canadian demography with a special issue of the Canadian Studies in Population.
In 1970, while in Montreal, he met and married his love, Maria. There they welcomed their son Alex. Soon after, they made a permanent move to Ottawa, where they welcomed their daughter Lara and made their home for the next 46 years.
Anatole retired in 1993 after a long and illustrious career at StatsCan. Never one to ride off into the sunset, Anatole immediately took up a position as an adjunct professor at the University of Alberta and spent the next 20 years researching and publishing extensively - completing his final article less than a year before his death.
No matter how busy he was professionally, however, he always found time and energy to help and mentor all those around him. In fact, as his children can attest, no matter was too small for Anatole to offer some friendly advice - whether solicited or not. As he used to say, you don�t have to 'listen to me', but you do have to listen to me ;)
We will always treasure our memories of his loving and generous spirit, as well as his �never-say-die� determination.
Friends are invited to join the family on Sunday, March 11, 2018 anytime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm for an informal reception to share memories of his life over refreshments at the The Whelan Funeral Home, 515 Cooper St. (between Bay & Lyon), 613-233-1488.

O'LEARY, Francis J. CD

Frank O'Leary, loving husband of Helen (Manion), dear father to Colleen (Ross Shannon), Patrick, Michael and Kathleen (Michel Perreault). Cherished Grandfather to Jennifer Shannon (Paul Sammartino) and Erin Shannon (Anthony Knezevic) and six great grandchildren, Solomon, Annie, Deacon, Wallace, Orson and Owen. He will be deeply missed by all, especially his wife of 68 years. We struggle to find words to sum up our father's life. He was a man of great integrity and values. He was kind and humble and a devout Catholic who practiced his faith daily. Frank was born in Ottawa, the son of Michael O'Leary and Bernadette Chouinard and grew up in Sandy Hill. He is predeceased by his brothers Edward, Bobby, Michael, and sisters Margaret, Bernice and Jean. He was a man of many talents and touched the lives of the people he met. He loved to be busy, he provided, he puttered, he built, he created, he planted, he fixed and repaired. He was a doer, a finisher, a follow-through kind of guy. Simple accomplishments made him proud and his service to his community made him happy. His ability to remember his life experiences made for wonderful storytelling. His friends will remember him for his great sense of humour and his hearty laugh. Frank worked for over 27 years in the Mapping and Charting, R.C.E. and then started his next career as property master at the National Arts Centre for 35 years. Throughout his career he was known for his Frank O'Leary Pancake Breakfast which would raise money for Christmas hampers for the needy. He enjoyed playing Santa Claus for the Ottawa Sympathy Orchestra fundraiser. Many people have shared stories of how Frank helped them�. that was just Dad. He lived life to the fullest, playing hockey in his 70's, golf into his 80's, bowling in his 90's and had a passion to be physically active. Dad was an entertainer at heart from his early years singing at the Ottawa football games, the sing along with Frank on Sunday nights at the Ottawa Bandshell, and each St. Patrick's Day dad would be wearing green and could be found singing Irish tunes in several local retirement homes and establishments. Music was an integral part of his life. When we think of a word that describes our dad it's�beautiful. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 9:30 am at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, 400 St. Laurent Boulevard. Reception to follow in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Frank O'Leary's memory to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Ottawa. Condolences may be offered at condolences@whelanfuneralhome.ca

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me. Let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, 
Behappy, we had so many years.

I gave you my love and you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it's time I traveled alone.

So grieve a while for me if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part
So bless those memories in your heart.

I won't be far away for life goes on
So if you need me , call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
with all my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and 
"Welcome YouHome".

SEWARD, Catherine

MELOCHE, Judith Mary

November 24, 1951 – June 6, 2017

We are sad to announce the passing of Judy Meloche of Ottawa, ON. Judy died on June 6, 2017 at the Central West Hospice in Ottawa. Judy had bravely and courageously battled Brain Cancer for 22 years. Since a recurrence in 2010 and, even after surgery and chemotherapy, her mobility had been steadily declining. Despite being confined to a wheelchair and becoming gradually further paralyzed for about the last 3 years she has battled on with great courage and dignity.

Judy led a full and satisfying life. Genevieve and Maurice Meloche adopted her at age 3. She travelled with her parents to Germany in the 1950’s where Maurice was stationed with the RCAF. She and her parents had many wonderful adventures during that period. Judy was fortunate to find her birth Parents and had a very happy but sadly short relationship with her birth Mother as she lost her to Cancer after just a few years. Judy maintained to her death a happy relationship with the Moise and Guertin Family. She had good relations with her birth fathers’ family as well with some members visiting Judy just days before her death.

Returning to Ottawa she graduated from Campanile Academy and Laurentian High School. Judy was an active sportsperson throughout her life. She played baseball, bowled, golfed and curled. She was also an avid swimmer and was a full time Swimming Teacher and Lifeguard for the City of Ottawa prior to beginning her Public Service Career.

She began her career as an assistant to a Member of Parliament, Keith Penner, and later worked in the Ministerial Office of Bob Andras. She finished her career with a long service as a Television Analyst with the CRTC. Judy retired from the CRTC in Jan. 2007.

Judy was fortunate to do a lot of world travelling. She was companion for her widowed mother on several very interesting Cruises. She also got back to Germany more than once.

Judy was always a willing volunteer. She has fulfilled roles as Social Director of two Curling Clubs. She also took an Executive role with the Ladies Curling Association (LCA) where she volunteered for 7 years and was President for the 2004 and 2005 Seasons. She had also served on her Condominium Board in Ottawa for all 12 years she lived there.

After Retirement, Judy and her husband Bob enjoyed winters in southern Texas. True to form Judy became a Block Captain and served on the Executive of the local Home Owners Assoc. She also repeatedly volunteered to help serve dinners at Christmas, Thanksgiving and for the Dinner/Drama Club. She continued volunteer work even in a wheelchair serving as host and ticket taker.

Her first love though was the Family Cottage at Grand Lake. She grew up there and, later, as an adult served on the Board of the local Road Association for many years. She was also active on the Committee, which published a book on the History of Grand Lake. We would like to express gratitude to many people who have helped and supported Judy on the 22- year fight against Cancer. Almost too many to name but several stand out; Dr. O. Agboola, Radiation Oncologist who gave Judy a 15 year remission, Dr. Chris Skinner, Neurologist and Quarterback and his wonderful assistant Orma, Dr. Stan Gertler, Medical Oncologist and our Patient Designated Nurse, Teena, Eloise Bruner her outstanding Neurophysiotherapist and Dr. Katrina Spacek, the Palliative care Physician and her team including those in the Central West Hospice and Bayshore Home Health Services who so eased our journey over the last 10 weeks. A Celebration of Judy’s Life will be announced within 3 to 4 weeks. In accordance with Judy’s wishes, please no Flowers. Donations may be made, in lieu, to the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada, the Ottawa Humane Society, Hospice Care Ottawa or a Charity of your choosing.

KILLEN, James (Jim) Patrick

(b. January 6, 1941 - d. April 18, 2017)

Peacefully at the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa after a short battle with glioblastoma. He faced his diagnosis the same way he tackled any challenge he faced in life with courage, dignity and humility. He was one of the best and we will miss him immensely. He is survived by his loving wife Eila (Saarinen) who cared for him in these last months, and his only child, Marita, son-in-law Geoff Black and beloved grandchildren Charlie and Lucy. He will also be missed by his sister Mary (Andy) McGuigan of London, ON, his brother Tom (Rose) of Calgary, AB, his sisters-in-law Milja (Esko) and Elisa, and his brother-in-law Ilmo (Marja), as well as his nieces and nephews, and his extended family the Blacks (Ken and Dorothy, Meghan (Andrew), Stephanie and little Tom). Jim was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, the oldest child of Thomas Patrick and Mary Edith (MacGinnis) Killen. He proudly grew up in the North End of Saint John and the friendships he made in these years continued until the end. He spent these early years consumed with sports, enjoying summers at camp in Chapel Grove, and finding mischief. He attended university at St. Francis Xavier University, where he became involved in many extracurricular activities, made life long friends and graduated with a business degree. He would always credit StFX with setting him out on the right path. From there he went to Windsor, Ontario and then further down the road to Alberta. It was there that he met Eila, with whom he shared not only love at first sight, but also a love that was deep and abiding. Once Marita was born, he and Eila moved back East and made a beautiful life along the Kennebecasis river in Renforth, New Brunswick. He enjoyed working as a comptroller for Dowd Roofing. Over the years he also volunteered his time with many organizations, including renewing the Saint John chapter of the STFX Alumni Association and serving as its President, serving for ten years as a member of the Kennebecasis Lions Club, serving for ten years as a volunteer in the palliative care department of the Saint John Regional Hospital, and being an active member of the St. Mark's Church choir. In 2012 he and Eila embarked on a new adventure, moving to Ottawa to be close to their grandchildren. They quickly felt at home, enjoying walks along the parkway, taking Lucy to the Ottawa Gymnastics Centre and being regular fans at Charlie's soccer games. Perhaps most of all Jim found happiness in ordinary life, whether it be discussing current events, going for a swim in the river after supper (and after he finished reading the newspaper), going uptown to watch the world go by, talking to strangers, doing crossword puzzles, teasing his grandchildren or enjoying a heaping bowl of ice cream. Jim always saw beyond people's exteriors and strove to embody the motto of his beloved StFX - Quaecumque Sunt Vera, or "Whatsoever Things are True" - living his life with integrity, dignity, truth, and respect for all. The family would like to thank all of those who helped him through his illness, including the staff of the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, especially Dr. Garth Nicholas; the Ottawa Hospital's neurosurgery team; the staff of the Queensway Carleton, especially Dr. Cot� and those on the ACE floor; Dr. Lynsey Bartlett; the May Court Hospice day program; Carefor Health and Community Services, especially Reg, and the sitters who made sure he was never alone during his hospital stays. A funeral service will be held at St. George's Church, 415 Piccadilly Ave., Ottawa, ON on Saturday, April 22 at 11AM. In addition, family and friends are invited to join us for a reception at the Clocktower Brew Pub, 418 Richmond Rd, Ottawa from 1:00 to 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim's memory to
the Ottawa Hospital Foundation , Cancer Clinical Trials office or

SILVER, Irving Robert

1934 - 2017

Irving Robert Silver, born May 1, 1934 in Portland, Maine, died peacefully at 5:37pm on March 11, 2017 at the Ottawa General Hospital at the age of 82 after a courageous battle with oral cancer.

He is survived by his three children and their spouses, Jonathan (Jo-Anne), Mark (Leah), and Gail (Bayo), his six grandchildren, Jasmine, Nathan, Ethan, Kezia, Sonia, and Nelson, his former wife and long-time friend, Gabrielle, and Jonathan's first wife, Samantha. Irving was a lifelong learner. His alma maters include Portland High School (1951), MIT (B.S.

For most of his career he was self-employed, working as an economic consultant, especially in applied economic research and analysis related to public policy problems. After retiring, he continued to study German and became passionate about Italian and Italy. He was an avid reader of economic and political theory, and he enjoyed espousing his strong political and economic views. Irving, like all of the Silver Family, loved to eat and cook. Afternoon tea in his home, accompanied by biscotti was one of his specialties. Family was particularly important to Irving, and a sleepover at Grandpa's (which inevitably included some of his cooking) was a great treat. Irving was curious about the world and loved to travel, especially with, or to visit, family. In keeping with his wishes, Irving's body has been donated to science. A visitation will be held at the Whelan Funeral Home at 515 Cooper Street (b/w Lyon and Bay) from 4 to 7pm on Friday March 17.

BENONISEN, Treena

TAPP, Anthony ‘Tony’ Edward

Irreplaceable brother, uncle, partner, friend and teacher

Peacefully surrounded by family on Sunday, February 5, 2017 at the age of 68. Tony was full of adventure and saw what most people overlooked. From meteor showers, fireflies, trains rushing along tracks newly dusted with snow, to broken ice in the waves sounding like wind chimes, Tony somehow managed through his photographs, videos and soundscapes, to capture and share with us this hidden world of immense beauty. Motorcycles, trains and small towns were passions he loved to share, and will continue to, through his art. Tony was not given to grand, sweeping gestures or pronouncements; his many kindnesses and acts of generosity were discreet and often anonymous. In addition to the over 2,500 students Tony taught to observe and analyze the world in a different way, his legacy of observation, kindness and generosity will continue to echo through his beloved partner Sharon, little sister and confidante, Mary, sisters, Margret, and Kathleen, brothers-in-law, Geoff and Brian. Nieces and nephews, Eva (Kurt), Aaron, Simon, Anthony, Keeley and Ryan have a lifetime of cherished memories, wise insights and witty one-liners to remember him by. Tony was predeceased by his parents, George and Olwen, sister Lisa, bothers-in-law Stan and John. Friends are invited to pay their respects to the family and celebrate stories of Tony’s life at The Whelan Funeral Home, 515 Cooper St. (between Bay & Lyon) on Saturday February 11, 2017 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 PM.

On June 10, 2015, our family lost a very special, well-loved and much admired member of our family.

We learned much from him and will miss his quiet presence. He is predeceased by his brothers Barry, Allen and Frank and survived by his sisters Carol Baert and Patricia Jenkins and his brother Rev. Robert Jenkins. He will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. An Interment will be at a later date.

ROCKWELL, Elnora

(nee Osborne)

12 April 1934 – July 8, 2014

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mom. She passed away peacefully, after a brief illness and in her 81st year. She will be joining dad, her husband Lloyd of 52 years. Mom will be terribly missed by her children Holly (Ken), Paul (Helene), Jim (Andrina), Laurel(John), her grandchildren Tina (Scott), John, Sarah (Nick), Emily, Kirstyn, Katerina, Michael, Brittany, Connor, Noah, Isabelle, Jake, Lily, Delilah, her special niece Beverly, Betty The Best, Dearest Heather and so many more. Mom’s life was about family and friends and she was grand at both. Elnora was born in Northbay Ontario, growing up in a busy family, surrounded by greenhouses, plants and flowers. This botanical world would captivate her always. Her strength, independence, and desire for adventure moved her to Toronto where, in her relative youth she established herself as a talented floral designer and met up with lifelong friends including Betty "the best" who would introduce her to Lloyd. Elnora moved to Ottawa with Lloyd in 1960 where they would set the stage for their life together, raising children, and gathering friends. She joined Fines Flowers upon her arrival in Ottawa, where she would remain for over 30 years encouraging flowers and people to follow her lead and gathering more friends along the way, including her "dearest" Heather. With retirement came more adventures for mom with travel, bridge, volunteering at Abbotsford, friends, grandchildren, joy and happiness. Always ending with stories. In the end, she told the story of her "wonderful" life, that she had "no regrets" and that she was "all full". It was like this and with heavy hearts that we let her go. A celebration of Elnora's life will be held at The Whelan Funeral Home, 515 Cooper St (between Bay & Lyon) on Monday, July 14, 2014 from 4:30 PM until commencement of a service in memory at 6Pm.

This smart, creative business woman, mother and grandmother was born on June 17, 1916 in Newmarket, Ontario. She passed peacefully at The Perley Rideau Veterans Health Centre on Saturday, November 26, 2011 in her 96th year. She was one of 7 kids and only June (Lloyd Pelot) her younger sister remains. ‘Marg’ married John Arthur Pratt and lived in Ottawa. Later they moved to Montreal. After bringing up her kids Dalton (Marilyn) and Janice (Peter), she set out to make a career for herself -- and what a career. She became a “Toycoon”. Based first in Montreal and then in Toronto, she travelled the world creating and buying toys for Eaton’s stores and catalogue. A friend commented,” In many ways your mother was a pioneer in the women's movement.” After retirement, ‘Marg’ returned to Ottawa where she was later diagnosed with Dementia. Her usual determination kept her going with this dread disease for 11 years. We salute her achievements and bravery. Margaret was cherished by her grandkids David (Kristie), Leah and a great number of nieces and nephews. Special thanks to the Ottawa-2 West staff at The Perley Rideau; especially Patty, Tanya and Kathy, day and night staffs Kim, Rath, Aycel and the kitchen crew. Marg’s smile will be with you always. Friends are invited to join the family on Friday, December 2, 2011 at The Whelan Funeral Home, 515 Cooper St (between Bay & Lyon) from 10 AM until commencement of a service of remembrance at 11 AM.
