\"\"Glen Searle<\/strong>
\nAug 9\/1963 to Dec 23\/2019<\/p>\n

Parents Tom and Barb Searle were saddened to announce the passing of their 56-year-old son Glen at Algonquin Grace Hospice in Huntsville on December 23, 2019. Glen fought Cancer for 3 months but lost the battle a few days before Christmas and 7 days before his daughter Katherine turned 16. Glen had four children: Dylan, Cody, Jonathan and Katherine. He also had a step daughter Shannon. He had 3 siblings, Sharon, Stephen and Shelley. The Searle family have lived in Huntsville for 43 years on property on beautiful Skeleton Lake. Glen is predeceased by his oldest son Dylan who passed away in February 2019 in PEI. Glen graduated from Huntsville High School and went on to achieve a college degree from Canadore College in North Bay in the construction field. He suffered many physical injuries over the years in his chosen field but continued to work hard to support his children. The Huntsville Hospice is an amazing facility and should be supported to continue the care and personal touch of the staff. The Searle family want to extend their warmest appreciation to Glen’s doctors and the entire staff at Hospice for caring for our son. Algonquin Grace Hospice in Huntsville are deserving of any donations.<\/p>\n

\nMay 10, 1936 ~ December 25, 2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds simple that’s what you’re thinkin’
\nBut love can walk through fire without blinkin’
\nIt doesn’t take much when you get enough
\nLivin’ on love\u201d
\n-Alan Jackson, Livin\u2019 On Love<\/em><\/p>\n

On Christmas morning in his 83rd year Douglas Kennedy came to the end of his earthly journey. He had a life well spent in love of his family, Canadian War History, the outdoors, and the Muskoka area. The last few years as his body weakened, his mind did not, and he recalled the great moments of his life with those who loved him. He enjoyed being told stories in person, through film (especially War Movies and Westerns), and Music (especially Country Music). He cared passionately about his local community, especially his birthplace of Bracebridge, where he proudly attended the annual fall fair of, well into his 80s.
\nHe leaves behind his wife of forty-six years Margret (nee Wilson), his children April and Sherri, grandchildren McAyla, Ayden, and Caitlin, his sister Barbra, and his sisters and brothers-in-law Lillian and her husband Gerald, Fern, Sandra, Robert, and Cathy (Kate), and many nieces and nephews especially Debbie and Dale.

\"\"DODDS, William John Charles “Bill”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It is with sorrow the family of Bill Dodds announce that he passed away on Monday, December 23, 2019 at Fairvern Nursing Home with family at his side in his 79th year. Beloved husband of Arlene Dodds (nee Sturgess) of 49 years. Loving father of Scott Dodds (Jennifer White) and Sharlene (Steven) Borden. Cherished grandfather of Taylor and Tori Dodds, Carys White, Ashley and Owen Bosker, Paul and Emily Borden. Predeceased by his dear grandaughter Carly Dodds. Survived by his brother Wayne (Theresa) Dodds. Predeceased by his parents Owen and Irene Dodds of Ailsa Craig, Ontario & his sister Dorothy & brother Carl.
\nBill spent the first few years of his adult life in the US & Canadian Navy, which he spent travelling by ship to many countries, which he really enjoyed. Anyone who spent time with Bill knew how interesting & intelligent he was. A lot of his knowledge came from stamp collecting. Bill married Arlene in 1970 in Ontario & started their life together in Alberta, where they had 2 children. Bill spent most of his working life in the pipeline, driving a side boom, which had him travelling all across Canada & the States. They moved from Calgary to Emsdale, Ontario in 1985, where he found his next love….the bush. He loved spending time up in the bush cutting wood for their winters heat. He always told mom; \u201cit\u2019s so peaceful up in the bush\u201d, & that\u2019s where he wanted to be. He loved to take people on tours of his animals. He kept all kinds of birds on his 100 acre farm….. all kinds of pheasants, peacocks, ducks, quail, chickens, etc plus he had a stocked trout pond, which he loved to feed & show people.
\nHe loved playing cards, Bingo, Nevada tickets & every lottery you could think of (to mom’s dislike LOL).
\nBill spent the last 5 years in Nursing Homes, FairVern was his home for the last 3 years. The nurses & staff there treated him like family & showed nothing but love for him. We are so very thankful for them. His final hours, I think every staff member came in to say their goodbyes, even some not on shift.
\nIn keeping with Bill’s wishes, cremation has taken place. As an expression of sympathy memorial donations can be made to Friends of Fairvern or Parkinson Canada. Messages of condolence can be left at www.billingsleyfuneralhome.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Sonja Young<\/a><\/strong>, died peacefully December 26, 2019. She was extremely well cared for by the staff of Fairvern Nursing Home where she had been a resident for about 18 months. Words of gratitude can only scratch the surface in offering appreciation for the warmth, kindness, and care she received at Fairvern.
\nBorn in Germany in 1929, she found her way to Scotland in 1946 and met her future husband there. Sonja married John G. Young in 1948, brought John Peter Young into the world in 1952, and the family immigrated to Canada in 1954 to begin a new life, with all its twists and turns, ups and downs.
\nIn November 2019, Sonja celebrated her 90th birthday, and at that point, a significant decline in her health began \u2026 it was as if that milestone invited her to turn a corner.
\nGrateful for her peaceful passing are her son, John P. (Sue) and grandchildren Katherine (Marco) and Jonathan (Sarah). Placement of her ashes will take place in the spring. Many thanks to Cheryl at Billingsley Funeral Home for her kindness and help. Messages of condolence can be left at www.billingsleyfuneralhome.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Ann Elizabeth Wilson<\/a><\/strong>
\nMarch 12, 1927 \u2013 Dec 14, 2019
\nWe pay tribute to Ann Elizabeth Wilson, who passed away peacefully in Huntsville, Ontario, on December 14, 2019, at the age of 92.Ann was predeceased by her parents George and Gertrude Wilson, and elder brother, George, and sister-in-law, Verna Wilson. She was deeply loved and will be missed by her nieces and nephews Rick, Jim, Lorraine and Joanne (and their partners), by her great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews, cousins, and by dear family friends, neighbours and colleagues.
\nAnn began working as a stenographer for the Canadian National Railways in Montreal, where she grew up. She was proud to have worked her way up to being the Executive Secretary\/Assistant to six CNR Vice-Presidents.
\nWhen she transferred to work at Toronto Union Station, she also became an important member of her brother\u2019s family in Burlington, Ontario. She later moved to Oakville, midway between her Burlington friends and the family who had moved to Toronto. After retirement, she purchased her first house, in Huntsville, Ontario where she lived for over 35 years.
\nAnn cared deeply for her family and friends, visiting regularly, taking trips, hosting, hugging, and being a good friend to young and old. Her trip to Japan with her Aunt Nell, her camping trips with childhood friends, and her walking vacations in the UK and Eastern Canada were highlights in her life. In Ann\u2019s retirement, she welcomed her Aunt Anne into her home when Anne became unable to live alone.
\nAnn\u2019s garden was her delight in these later years and she proudly took visitors on tours. In addition to growing flowers and vegetables, her home-grown, home-made raspberry jam was a widespread Christmas favourite! The local deer and an occasional bear would make their way into her yard to eat her berries, too.
\nShe was an accomplished crocheter, knitter, keen reader and enjoyed eating out. She was a long-time supporter of foster children, and contributed to numerous charities.
\nHuge and heartfelt thanks to Aunt Ann, for having been a cherished correspondent, a strong and important role model, a dear friend and a very beloved aunt.
\nCremation has taken place and, following Ann\u2019s wishes, there is no public service.
\nMemorial donations are welcome to the charity of your choice.

\"\" MELVIN DONALD JOSEPH STEVENSON<\/strong><\/a> was born on September 8th, 1927 in Jordan, Ontario to Elizabeth Hannah Nickason & Donald James Stevenson. He had 4 older sisters – Eleanor Orr, Luella Orr, Evelyn Orr and Mildred Stevenson. Then came 4 more siblings Helen, Hilda, Bertrum and Bernard Stevenson. That made him a middle child and aren\u2019t they supposed to be perfect? His father then became James Andrew Jones and he and Doreen Lee gave him 3 more siblings, Victor, Gloria and Julia Jones.
\nMel\u2019s family moved back up to Muskoka when he was just a toddler and they lived around Port Sydney close to his mother\u2019s parents. His father left when Mel was in grade 2 and so Mel quit school to become the man of the house.
\nMelvin started a job in a fruit nursery one summer\u2019s day and met Gertrude Farrell who was working there. About 6 months later – January 8th, 1949 – he married that young lady. They set up housekeeping in Beamsville, and before the year ended they were proud parents of a baby girl – Dale Ann.
\nTen years after Dale was born, along came a little surprise named Marie Catherine Stella. That was so nice that they deliberately tried again, and produced Kenneth Albert Melvin.
\nIn 1965, Mel dragged Gert \u201ckicking and screaming\u201d up to the north country with him. They moved to Burk\u2019s Falls, and it didn\u2019t take long before Gert loved living up north so much that she refused to move back to Beamsville when the opportunity arose!
\nOn the first day of hunting season in 1969, Mel started clearing their lot \u201cout the Sideroad\u201d – now properly called Bonnie Lake Road – and started building their home in December. By March, they moved into the barely framed house, where Marie says they could hear the winds and wolves howl through the walls. It was pretty rugged for the first year, but there were quite a few helping hands, and they enjoyed a lot of years in that home that was lovingly hand crafted for their family.
\nGert passed away on Nov 7, 2015. As life became more difficult, Mel moved to Muskoka Shores in June 2018. His family appreciated the wonderful care he received at the nursing home, where he passed away on Thursday December 19th, 2019. Mel leaves behind his three children: Dale (Glen Card); Marie; Ken (Janine); his grandchildren: Dawn (Norm Lockhart); Lesley Ann (Todd Grainger); Brent Card (Ashley); Emily Rose; and his great-grandchildren: Jordan; Joshua; Ally; Brooklyn; Jacob; Jailyn; Carson.
\nMel started his working life very early. When he left school, he hired on with a logging crew to help support his mom and his siblings. In about 1944 he went west with Bert French, where he worked on a farm (being still too young to join the army).
\nBack in Southern Ontario, Mel worked for quite some time on the Ball\u2019s Farm, which is now part of the Ball\u2019s Falls Conservation Area. He was really appreciated by Mrs. Ball who kept him on after the harvest and had him help with all the chores.
\nAfter he was married, he also worked on the railroad for a while, then settled into a job in the garage in Campden. He enjoyed being a volunteer firefighter in the village as well.
\nWhen they moved to Burk\u2019s Falls, Mel worked for the Thompson Highland veneer plant, and then the South River branch of Thompson\u2019s as well as running their farm. Later, he worked for the the Muskoka Charcoal Company in Huntsville, which is now the Fanotech plant on Old North Road. His last several working years were spent with Ontario Hydro. Working or playing, Mel loved to laugh and liked to stir up a little trouble when the opportunity arose. Mel and Gert liked to dance – square dancing and polkas were favourites- and they had memorable card parties where the men cheated outrageously to beat the women. \u201cThink we\u2019ll need a spade to get that yard work done tomorrow?\u201d
\nThe kids recall lots of summer holidays \u201cup north\u201d. Camping included a pop-up tent trailer and lots of extended family. Mel bought the odd pony -for the kids of course! – and even trained \u201cThunder\u201d to pull a sleigh.
\nMel also enjoyed being a part of the Stephenson District Lions Club in Port Sydney.
\nIn the summer of 2011, Mel\u2019s life took on a new light. That summer he accepted Christ as his saviour and was baptized that fall. Mel fully enjoyed his fellowship in the Deer Lake Gospel Hall. It is good for our hearts to know that Mel passed from this life into eternal happiness with his Lord.
\nWhenever we picture Mel, it will be with his mischievous grin and the way his face lit up when he said hello. He will be remembered always with love.
\nThe family invite friends to visit on Sunday, December 22, 2019 from 7-9 pm at Billingsley Funeral Home, Huntsville. The celebration of life will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2020 at the Port Sydney Community Centre, 607 Muskoka Road 10 from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Alzheimer Society of Muskoka or Muskoka Shores in Gravenhurst..

\"\"Douglas L. Tideman – October 30, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doug, the bush pilot, slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter- silvered wings. Sunward he climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of. (High Flight by John G. Magee)
\nFlying his float planes, be it the Taylor Craft, Super Cub or his Cessna 180, to such places as Yellowknife, Dawson City, James Bay, or, in his opinion, the most beautiful place in the world, the Torngat Mountains in Labrador, was a joy for him and enabled his reputation as a \u201cstory teller.\u201d He could even make \u201chydro\u201d sound interesting, said one friend.
\nThrough \u201cCopa for Kids,\u201d he gave plane rides to 8-17year olds. As a teen-ager he began his career as a lineman with Ontario Hydro, delighted to be transferred to Huntsville in his third year. As the Senior Industrial Marketing Supervisor in Toronto\u2019s Central Region, he retired in 1988, after 35 years with Hydro. With a partner, he then founded ECAM, a high tech. energy management company, whose mandate throughout North America, was to advise large companies how to reduce their power consumption. Following his move to Muskoka, Re-Energy was started and as a Power Management Consultant, he worked with companies throughout northern Ontario. Often flying his plane to destinations such as Thunder Bay. Until the age of 75, he considered this, the most satisfying of his work choices.
\nDoug could be described as analytical, creative, practical, with a sense of humour, who enjoyed people, particularly the young. Marriage contract with Catherine, included a 56 year \u201ccodicil.\u201d Thus, permitting an annual canoe trip to Algonquin Park, or duck hunting in Cuba, fishing for Arctic Char in Hudson Bay, or salmon in the Haida Gwaii Islands, shark snaring in the Caribbean Islands or hunting at Loon Lake Camp, naming a few. Advisory board member for start-up of Durham College in 1965. Founding Director of the Bella Lake Antioch Conservation Area in 1967, and was its last surviving member. With 5 friends, started \u201cThe Czars of Industry,\u201d an increasing bastion of male friendship that met annually prior to Xmas.
\nDesigned and built the \u201cCairn of Peace.\u201d A tribute to the International & World Plowing Match. This stone and brass cairn has remained at the entrance to the Whitby Courthouse for 45 years.
\nDoug enjoyed his motorcycle, jeep, tractor, snowmobiles, and in 2012, drove the BMW, top down, from coast to coast. Designing, building, wood carving, and stone masonry numbered just a few his abilities. The hobby that gave him the most pleasure was the carving of a field stone, that fit well, culminating in his construction of 3 field stone fireplaces.
\nWith Catherine, trips were enjoyed sailing on a friend\u2019s catamaran, from Jamaica to the San Blas Islands, Honduras, and Guatemala. And later, sailing with his Greek cousins throughout the Dodecanese, while staying at two of his ancestral homes on Patmos Island.
\nAfter 25 years of commuting twice annually to their home in Victoria, the decision was made to settle at Bella Lake.
\nResolute and indefatigable, two weeks before his death, and accompanied by his children, he made his way to Huntsville Hospital. He wanted to personally express his gratitude to his team of Chemo. Nurses, Dr Jindal, Dr Kirkpatrick, and Dr Ng, Oncologist. Then, over Bella Lake, a fly past salutation and touch down by friends in their float planes, was very much appreciated by Doug. He wrote: After a life well lived, when is it time to say goodbye? His choice was not to have visitation or a funeral but to have a \u201cgathering\u201d at the family home in the spring.
\nLoving remembered: Catherine, Jane & Scott, John & Nicola, Caitlin, Jack, Olivia, James and Ella

She was the second youngest of seven children. She married Jack Harley (pre-deceased May 17, 2009) on October 3, 1959. Together they had three children Sandi, Chris and Sherry (pre-deceased by infant son Kevin).
\nDonna and Jack lived in Toronto for 24 years where she was a key punch operator, then a crossing-guard. When they retired Jack and Donna returned to Donna\u2019s hometown of Novar. While back in Novar, Donna and Jack organized a local craft sale for 24 years raising and donating to many charities; the Novar fire department, the Canadian Cancer Society and the Huntsville Hospital Foundation. Donna and Jack drove for the Cancer Society, she continued to do both even after Jack\u2019s passing.
\nA few years after Jack\u2019s passing Donna met good friend Norm Ruttan. Donna and Norm delivered the local newspapers to give them extra spending money and to keep them busy. They continued to do this until a month before Donna\u2019s passing.

\"\"The Rev. S. Derek Shelly<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rev. S. Derek Shelly passed away in his home in Huntsville on Monday, November 11, 2019, where he had retired in 2018 after serving for many years as pastor at Trinity United Church. Previously, he had ministered to various congregations in Southwestern Ontario, Eastern Ontario, and on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Before being called to the ministry he had been a schoolteacher.
\nBeing a pastor is a 24\/7 calling, but Rev. Shelly still found time to immerse himself in community theatre and improv groups, and to enjoy the outdoors on skis and snowshoes in the winter and with a fishing rod or golf clubs or in his kayak in the warmer weather.
\nIn recent years he had also pursued a greater understanding of death and dying and end-of-life care. He cared deeply about Hospice Huntsville, and in 2014 published his first book, Dying to Live<\/em>, a novella about a man coming to terms with his own mortality.
\nWhile he sought better understanding of death and grief, he lived his life to the fullest. Whether acting on stage, whitewater rafting, or heading out to hear the wolves howl in his beloved Algonquin Park, he was always on the go, sharing his love of life with so many, especially his grandchildren.
\nHe was a graduate of the London Teachers\u2019 College and University of Western Ontario in London and Queen\u2019s University in Kingston, and an honorary fellow of Huntington University in Sudbury.
\nHe lives in the loving memories of his children Derek (Ruth Dunley), Aaron (Amanda Van Bommel), and Keri-Lynn; his grandchildren Olivia, Regin, Grace, Rose, Mekenna, and Maura; his lifelong friend and mother of his children, Heather Fraser; and his siblings Ted, Marie, John, and Fred and their families. He is predeceased by his parents Sidney and Kathleen (Mathias), and his brother Brian.
\nA Memorial Service will be held at Trinity United Church, 33 Main Street East, Huntsville on Saturday, November 30, 2019 at 1 p.m. A reception will follow in Trinity Hall.
\n<\/strong>In lieu of flowers, the family would be grateful for donations to Hospice Huntsville or the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. In Derek\u2019s memory, his family also encourages everyone to support local community theatre. Please go to see a play (or several) and think of him.<\/p>\n

\"\"BOWERS, Barry David<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in Kingston ON March 29,1946 Barry spent his childhood years in Picton ON. where he enjoyed lots of time on his uncle\u2019s farm developing his love for animals, gardening and the great outdoors. In 1960 his Dad was transferred to Ottawa where Barry attended Ridgemont HS, Carleton University, and Ottawa Teachers\u2019 College, where he met his wife, Wendy. After their marriage in 1967, Barry and Wendy taught in native communities in northern Ontario with the ON Dept of Education\u2019s Northern Corps, moving to Muskoka in 1971 to raise their growing family. He earned his B.A. , M.A. and M.Ed degrees through Ottawa, Laurentian, Trent and Southwestern Oklahoma State universities, taking courses throughout his teaching career, which took him to several Muskoka schools and, for a time, to the board office in Bracebridge as Co-ordinator of Student Services. He retired in 1999 and he and Wendy embarked on 11 winters of travelling with their 5th wheel, meeting new friends along the way as they discovered our amazing, scenic Canada, the southern US and Mexico. Over the past 10 years they enjoyed vacations to Newfoundland, Ireland and Alaska, making new memories, but always appreciating coming home to Huntsville….to family and friends, and to the unique beauty that is Muskoka. In recent years, Barry has greatly enjoyed volunteering as a porter with the Huntsville Hospital Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

\u201cA hundred years from now, it won\u2019t matter what my bank account was,
\nwhat kind of car I drove, or what sort of house I lived in.
\nBut the world may be a little better place because I was important in the life of a child.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barry was proud and privileged to have had the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many children over his 32 years in education, and as a proud Dad of 3.
\nHe is survived by his wife of 52 years, Wendy, daughter Karyn, son Britt (Nicole), his sister Janice (Mike) and their family, and aunts, uncles and cousins.

\"\"Jean Louise Parrott <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Jean Louise Parrott (nee Morphet) passed away in her 95th year, at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital, on October 23, 2019 with family at her side. On August 23, while at home, Jean suffered a stroke and was admitted to hospital. Jean\u2019s strong desire to return home led her to valiantly attempt the rehab program. However, she could not overcome a severe, stroke induced, swallowing impairment. Throughout her time at the hospital, Jean became known for her \u201cbeautiful smiles\u201d that endeared her to her caregivers and helped sustain the family. To the end, the kindness and professionalism of the staff who cared for and supported Jean on her final journey, was of immeasurable value to Jean and her family.
\nJean was born on December 7, 1924 in Toronto, Ontario. She was the youngest of three children born to John and Mary Louise (nee Fawcett). Jean fondly remembered summers spent in Port Sydney with family and friends during her teens and the early days of her working career. It was here at a Community Hall dance that she met her future husband Frank. The newlyweds initially settled in Toronto. However, changes in Frank\u2019s career brought Jean and young family back to Huntsville, where together they raised their family and built a successful business.
\nOver the years as a busy mother of four, Jean found outlets for her creative juices in writing, painting, and drawing house plans (some of which were turned into family homes!). She was an exceptional seamstress, tai chi enthusiast and, until her first stroke at age 92, an accomplished bridge player.
\nJean was predeceased by her husband Frank, sister Mary Stockton (Ray) and brother Winstone Morphet (Alma). She is survived by children Stephen (Madrie), Louise (Ken), Janice (Robin) and Leslie (Michael). Jean will be missed by her grandchildren Michael, Lauren, Stephanie, Christopher, Alexandre, Katerina, Emma, Holly and by great-grandchildren Violet and Bodhi. News of Jean\u2019s passing saddened her 25 nieces and nephews in the Morphet and Parrott families. She will be mourned by her many friends at Chartwell Traditions which had been Jean\u2019s home for the past 6 years. Her true-blue friend of 80 years, May Harding, is especially feeling the loss.
\nFollowing her wishes, a commemoration of Jean\u2019s life will be held at a later date. Donations in Jean\u2019s memory may be made to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation, World Animal Protection Canada or a charity of your choice.<\/p>\n

\"\"FULFORD, RICHARD LLOYD LOUIS (December 31, 1934 \u2013 October 6, 2019)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rick was born in Valleyfield, the second of five (5) sons of Hilliard Lloyd Fulford and his wife, Andree Payette Fulford. His brothers were Bob, Gerry, Lloyd (all deceased) and Paul. Rick and Nina have two children: Lianne (Dennis Patterson) and Dean (Maria Monteduro Fulford). They were blessed with 3 grandchildren: Emma, Luka and Maddie. Rick is survived, too, by nephews, nieces, and cousins in Canada, England and the United States and by brother Paul (Barbara) and brother-in-law, Barry Arnold. There are nephews and nieces and cousins in California, England and Canada.
\nThe family moved often since his dad worked for Bell and Rick attended many different schools and graduating in St. Lambert.
\nRick then followed his father and joined Bell Canada working in St. Agathe and Montreal, moving through installation and repair to central office work where he was promoted. He left Bell on good terms to live out a dream of being in business with his brother, Bob, and another man but after about 3 years returned to Bell. He then worked in Orangeville, Hamilton and lastly Huntsville. The last few years he worked out of the Engineering department surveying the needs of cottages on islands and in the bush using snow machines in winter and boats in summer.
\nHe met Nina at the Fri-Y club in St. Laurent. This was an offshoot of the YMCA that held dances in a local school gym. Nina was part of the planning group of about 15 and Rick soon joined them. They dated for three years before their wedding in August 1960. When Rick and Nina dated they alternated between worship at the Roman Catholic and United Churches. They married in his church. Rick had several years being relatively \u201cunchurched\u201d but when the family moved to Huntsville he responded to the warm invitations to join the Fortnightly Club at Trinity. In the company of those friends he became involved, re-affirmed his faith and became an elder. He chaired the Administration Committee and held other roles.
\nIn those days, Fortnightly took on the job of repainting the sanctuary. A couple of dozen of them were wielding brushes or rollers on walls or trim when they heard a crash. Rick, as an experienced Bell man, was on a 30-foot ladder when it slid down. He rode the ladder down and jumped off when it neared the floor and was unhurt. Unfortunately the can of pain tipped and, while the organ was protected, the slatted pedals got splashed with paint.
\nFor most of his life, Rick was very healthy and I don\u2019t remember him missing a day of work. But in 1993 he was diagnosed with lung cancer and had surgery and chemotherapy. He had been a smoker for several decades. It was during this difficult time that Nina accepted a long suppressed call to ministry. Rick was shaken by this but quickly became a strong supporter looking after their home and taking over the bread baking. He cheerfully accompanied her to Powell River BC for internship and became involved in the church there especially in the kitchen for fundraising dinners.
\nOnce he recovered his strength after his Cancer operation, he drove for the Cancer Society, able to share his journey with those he transported. He was a Meals-on-Wheels driver for many years; an Elder and Board member at Trinity and on the Huntsville Public Library Board; Trinity geared to income housing project. He also spent many years operating the lights for the Rotary musicals and offered that skill to Stina Nyquist and to John McTavish for plays at Trinity. He was very keen on drama and with Hall and Mary Jane Seely had summer season tickets to King\u2019s Wharf in Penetanguishene. Rick and Nina alternated Friday night bridge with the Seelys (this continued even when Nina was settled as minister at Wyevale-Waverly United Churches.) All four annually had a spring break in Myrtle Beach. For several years he helped offer a pancake breakfast at Fairvern. His family also relished his pancakes at home!
\nFor a number of years, with Hall and later with his son-in-law, Dennis, he made his own wine\u2026 even the years living in the church manse at Wyevale! He was pleased to be able to share his product with many. He also worked as a volunteer marshal at Deerhurst Golf Club several summers.
\nHe helped start dinner theatre in Waverley and in Kearney. He also shared his kitchen skills in church-sponsored dinners.
\nRick had a strong drive for excellence. He was an expert bowler, golfer and bridge player. In fact he became rather testy if he did not live up to his own expectations and that meant a rehash of the bridge play noting where he or his partner had made a poor decision.
\nHe was an excellent driver (sent to driving school by Bell, as soon as he was hired). At one point he took part in a car rodeo where he was timed as he looped through obstacles and he was deemed Bell Ontario champion. Though not a member, in 1997, the Rotary Club named him a Paul Harris fellow. He carried the torch for the 1988 Olympics (we still have the red and white snow suit he was given). He was a Telephone Pioneer and received an award for his Library Board service.
\nAbove all, Rick was a family man. He loved his children and taught them his love of cards and games. He was patient with them but firm about their responsibilities. He revelled in their activities and successes. He was just as caring about his grandchildren and always looked forward to visits. He loved to play games with them. Just as he had done for his son, he keenly followed grandson, Luka\u2019s hockey progress.
\nRick was a loving husband\u2026. more likely to bring Nina coffee than roses. Not good about SAYING sorry when they had an argument but living it by offering a backrub or a hug. As the years passed he learned to open up about things while it was easy to discuss and sort out differences. His inborn shyness and introversion diminished remarkably when he was receiving cancer treatment.
\nHis cancer was found and treated early largely because he developed LEMS (Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome) which affects the motor nerves. LEMS improved somewhat with the cancer treatment but gradually worsened over the decades diminishing his mobility. We obtained a wonderful folding power wheelchair. At first, when used intermittently it was a blessing but later, when he needed it all the time, he developed sores on his rump. We were served by wonderful nurses from the LHIN and received excellent care from Dr. Stewart\u2026 who even made house calls! He also received wonderful care in that final week from the HDMH doctor and nurses. As Rick became gradually weaker he showered us with words of love and gratitude and we had opportunities to tell him of our love, too. On his final day when his pain and breathing were very troubling, he was with family \u2013 some in person and others by telephone.
\nWe\u2019ve truly appreciated the many words of remembrance and condolence that have been shared. There are tears but there is much gratitude that we had so much time with him. He will be missed by many. Thank you God, he is at peace now.
\nA Celebration of Life service will be held at Trinity United Church, 33 Main Street, East Huntsville on Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Trinity United Church or to the charity of your choice. <\/strong>www.mitchellfuneralhome.ca<\/p>\n

\"\"Jill Garland Wilson (Dearlove)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the afternoon of September 26th<\/sup>, 2019, Jill Garland Wilson (Dearlove) of Huntsville, Ontario (recently relocated to Peterborough), passed away at the age of 65 after a challenging battle with Multiple Sclerosis and Leukemia.
\nJill was born in Scarborough, Ontario in 1954 to Jack and Patricia Dearlove. She attended college in Toronto and graduated as a Medical Laboratory Technologist where she embarked on a promising career, earning positions at Peel Memorial Hospital and Canadian Medical Laboratories. In 1974 she married a man who would become her lifelong companion, confidant, husband, and loving care provider, Jamie Wilson. Together Jill and Jamie started their family in Brampton, raising their two sons Christopher and Kevin. It was then, with two young boys at home, that Jill made the difficult decision to abandon her expanding career prospects for the challenging and selfless position of Stay At Home Mom, dedicating 100% of her time, focus, and wisdom into raising her sons and keeping a household running.
\nIn 1989 Jill and Jamie uprooted their young family and embarked on a life-changing entrepreneurial adventure in Huntsville as co-owners of Ox-Bow Lodge, alongside Jill\u2019s brother David Dearlove, his wife Dianne and their young family. This is where Jill\u2019s sons spent most of their formative years, embarking on adventures in the woods, fishing off the point, and shoveling Olympic sized hockey rinks on the lake. For all the challenges faced and sacrifices made, together Jill and Jamie provided an amazing landscape and unbelievably stable foundation for their family, and it\u2019s a place they continue to hold in their hearts as home.
\nIn 1998 Jill was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and has fought every day since to maintain as much of her independence and mobility as possible. Through the years of battling, she has given everyone in her family and close circle of friends a praiseworthy example of how courageous, strong, and resilient one woman can be. An unwavering moral compass, a voice of reason, an ear to vent to, and an unmistakable laugh were some of the traits and uniquely genuine qualities Jill brought into the lives of everyone who got to know her.
\nWhat Jill enjoyed most was just to be surrounded by all her grandchildren. The laughter, stories, excitement\u2026 and occasional tears\u2026 are what filled her heart and kept her fighting so tenaciously for so long, all the while staying technologically aware and \u2018hip\u2019 enough to video chat with her grandkids, to use her phone handsfree in the car (even though she didn\u2019t need to!), or to call upon Alexa to deliver the latest news and weather forecasts.
\nJill was preceded in death by her father, Jack Dearlove, and her mother, Patricia. She is survived by her husband Jamie, their sons Christopher (Sarah) and Kevin (Allison), her brother David (Dianne), her six beautiful grandchildren Ava, Paige, Liam, Sadie, Hannah, and Piper, as well as a close-knit network of in-laws, her dear nieces and nephews, and several beloved cousins.
\nVisitation will be held at the Ashburnham Funeral Home 840 Armour Road, Peterborough on Sunday, October 20, 2019 from 1:30 \u2013 2:30 p.m. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the Chapel. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the MS Society of Canada<\/a><\/span> in Memory of Jill.<\/p>\n

\"\"HULCOOP, Beryl (nee Wells)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On September 19, 2019 Beryl Hulcoop passed into the presence of her Lord and Saviour. She was in her 98th year.
\nBorn in England, but raised in Toronto with her Aunt and Uncle she was originally a \u2018city girl\u2019. But after her marriage to Arthur Hulcoop they moved to the country and lived in a rural setting from then on . She had four children, Marilyn (Larry), Tim (Linda), Wendy (Ben) & Tom (Kathryn) and taught them all about God and God\u2019s creation. She was glad when they all chose partners in life with the same values and loved her extended family too, especially when the grandchildren; Rebecca (Mike), Phebe (Ian), Garth (Jody), Chad (Danielle), Phillip (Melissa), Mary (Darren) and Rose and great-grandchildren; Trixie, Duncan, Daphne, Nikia, Haylee, Garrett, Aidan, Kylar, Monica, Seth, Marcus, Anna, Chloe and Simeon came along!
\nAlthough her formal schooling ended at grade eight she was intensely interested in medicine, horticulture and animal care, reading many magazines and articles on those subjects. Although she never had a driver\u2019s license she managed to get around, visiting her sibs in England three times, once by ship and twice by plane. As soon as Art retired they were off with the camper-east coast, west coast, USA., Ontario Parks, etc. Her love of animals was an intrinsic part of her being. In the last year of her life she grieved over the absence of a furry friend by her side. The squirrels and chipmunks outside the retirement home benefited greatly from this, however! We will miss her greatly, but rejoice in knowing how happy she is now!<\/div>\n

We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Arthur Gustav Hubert suddenly on Friday, August 30th, 2019.

\nIn death he joins his beloved son, Richard Arthur Hubert, his parents, Wilhelm & Adeline (n\u00e9e Budnik) Hubert, his sisters, Ada (Otto) von Ayx and Frieda (Louis) Klingenberg, his son-in-law Kevin Owen, niece Catherine Schmuki (n\u00e9e Kausch) and other loved ones.
\nHe will be fondly remembered by Kathie Bowler, Peter & Bev Van Iersel and many life-long friends.
\nArt was born in Strasdinnen, Lithuania, the youngest child and only surviving son of a farming miller & his wife. At a young age, due to the onset of WWII, Art and his family fled their home in Lithuania, traveling across Poland until they settled in Gotesdorf, Germany. His oldest sister Frieda was away at school, but thankfully was later reunited with her family in Germany.
\nSponsored by the Lutheran Church, the Hubert family made the long trip by boat to Canada in search of a new life.
\nAfter working off his indenture on an Oakville-area farm and a brief stint at a paper mill, Art landed a job at Fraser’s Hardware in Oakville, ON. A hardworking young man, Art met Irene on a double-date, fell in love and proposed. Soon after he purchased land and built the first of many matrimonial homes prior to their marriage August 31st, 1957. With his formal education cut short by the war, Art went to night school, took mechanical drafting and secured a position working for the B.D. Wait Company where he oversaw the construction of their corporate offices on Wyecroft Road and eventually led their Commercial HVAC division. When opportunities for advancement there failed to materialise, Art & Irene, now parents to 2 young children, in 1977 took a leap of faith and went into business for themselves as Canadian HVAC Sales Reps, primarily REZNOR Heating, and A.G. Hubert & Associates Inc. was born. The company has new owners but is still operating under Art’s name today – 43 years later.
\nArt coached & enjoyed watching soccer, loved music of all sorts, excelled in architectural design, construction and woodworking, liked learning about wildlife and enjoyed good food, wine, laughter and company.
\nMore than anything, Art was a devout Christian with an unwavering faith in God’s promises, forgiveness and abiding love. He was a man who loved God and his family above all else, and wanted only the best for them.
\nVisitation to take place at noon at the Mitchell Funeral Home, 15 High Street, Huntsville, ON on Friday, September 6th, 2019, followed by 1pm Funeral Service<\/strong>.

\"\"Cathryn Dale May<\/strong><\/div>\n
We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our mother and sister, Cathryn Dale May. Cathy passed at the age of 62. Cathy had a gentle soul, a huge heart, and a great sense of humour. She loved music and spent many enjoyable hours singing and playing her guitar. Cathy was born in Huntsville. Her passion for animals, and specifically her love of horses, led her to study Equine Technology at New Liskeard College. Her heart was in Muskoka, so she returned to her hometown, where she worked at Huntsville Hospital. Cathy had a green thumb and a love of the outdoors. Her homemade pickles and jellies were delicious! She loved her friends and family very deeply and will be missed terribly.
\nCathy was predeceased by her (mother) Aleata May (born Redfern) and (father) Bill May.

\n\"\"K. Scott Lillow<\/strong><\/a>
\nIt is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Scott. Scott passed away peacefully at the age of 55 on Sunday, August 18, 2019 surrounded by loving family and friends at Hospice Simcoe in Barrie. Beloved husband of Melanie, cherished father of Claire, dearly loved son of Gladys Lillow and Don Lillow (Betty), devoted brother of Lindsey (Greg) and Jonathan (Jillian), and fun loving uncle of Eric, Devin, Morgan and Benjamin.
\nScott lived his life to the fullest and was always up for an adventure. We were blessed to learn many lessons from Scott including the secret to great hair and how to do 100 runs in one day at Blue Mountain. He was always meticulously prepared for whatever the job, trip or event. He will be remembered for his creativity, generosity, inclusivity and the numerous causes he supported. His impact on those who crossed his path will live on; from work colleagues who got their big break at success through Scott\u2019s insight on their talent, to those who endured his practical jokes with a mix of frustration and laughter. He was impossible to say no to with unfathomable powers of persuasion for all things fun! A love of music accompanied him throughout his life, a joy he passed on to his daughter.

\n1936 – 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Aben Sr., 83, passed away peacefully at Hospice Huntsville on Monday, August 12th 2019 in Huntsville, Ontario.
\nVisitation will be from 6:00-8:00pm Thursday, August 15th at Mitchell Funeral Home (15 High Street, Huntsville).
\nFuneral Mass will be held at 10:00am on Friday, August 16th at Saint Mary\u2019s Catholic Church (12 Centre St. North, Huntsville) with Father Paul Hogan officiating. Interment will follow. Reception will be held at Saint Mary\u2019s Catholic Church.
\nJohn was born in Voorburg, Netherlands on June 18th, 1936, one of six children. In 1960, he immigrated to Canada where he met the love of his life, Wilhelmina Vanderkooy formerly of Den Haag, Netherlands. They were married on November 24th, 1962 in Toronto, Ontario and have been dedicated to each other since. He worked in Toronto as a Supervisor for the United Way in the IT department for six years before moving with his family to Dwight, Ontario in 1976. He purchased Muskoka Printing and Duplicating, later renamed Aben Graphics, establishing a family business that has been operating for over 40 years. He was involved in the Rotary Club where he was awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship Award, and was later a member of Probus. His favourite pastimes included playing cards, golfing, and fishing at his cottages in Ardoch and Kipawa. But perhaps his most favourite pastimes were the times he spent with his grandchildren.
\nJohn is survived by and sadly missed by: his wife Wilhelmina (Helmy); his four sons Mike (Deb), John (Natasha), Paul (Cyndi) and Mark (Heather); his sisters Riet, Townny, and Jeanet; and grandchildren Kate, Michael, Matthew, Sean, Nicholas, Christopher, Cameron, Joshua, Benjamin, Jessica and Nolan.

\"\"McGregor, James (Jim)<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on August 9th<\/sup>, 2019, in his 90th<\/sup> year with his loving wife Norma by his side. Norma and their six children: James (Paula), David (Yvonne), Mary (Eric), Rosanne (Doug), Tammy (Russell), and Paula, 16 grandchildren, (pre-deceased by one), and 10 great-grandchildren rest in the assurance that they will see him again in eternity. He was brother to Ellen (Dennis), Catherine (Jim) and Judy (Elgin) and predeceased by brothers Jack (Helen) and Paul.
\n<\/span>Jim was a devoted follower of Jesus, serving some years as a Pastor for <\/span>Calvary Associated Gospel Church in Blind River, Wilson Avenue Baptist Church in Toronto and Calvary Baptist Church in Desba<\/span>rats Ontario. <\/span> He then moved back to Toronto with his family where he worked as an electrician and dedicated his life to Christian ministry. He was the long time Organist and Choir Director (and later Visitation Pastor) at Wishing Well Acres Baptist Church in Agincourt (now GracePoint). After retirement he and Norma moved to their Muskoka waterfront home where Jim served at Riverside Baptist Church in Huntsville as Organist, pianist, church worker, and DVBS volunteer.
\n<\/span>Jim loved all things musical, and all things Muskoka. He drove his boat on Mary Lake until the day his earthly body would not allow him to do so. He was known for playing all instruments from the organ to the accordion and everything in between. He had a zest for life: boating, waterskiing, photography, videography, and so much more. He mastered his interests and shared them with the world.
\n<\/span>His never-ending love for his wife of 62 years Norma, his family, his work ethic, love for life and passion for Christ will be his legacy. <\/span>Painfully missed but thankfully and gratefully appreciative of God\u2019s gift of Jim McGregor to us, we remember him today and every day.
\n<\/span>A Celebration of Life will be held at Riverside Baptist Church in Huntsville Ontario on Saturday August 31st<\/sup> with visitation from 1pm-3pm and service at 3pm with light refreshments to follow.
\n<\/span>In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Bible League of Canada<\/a><\/span> or a charity of choice. Messages of condolences may be left at Billingsley Funeral Home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Peter Jacob<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce the passing of K. Peter Jacob on Friday August 9th<\/sup> at the Algonquin Grace Hospice in Huntsville, Ontario.
\nBorn September 23, 1940, Peter was raised in Pointe Au Baril, Ontario, where his family operated a general store and restaurant. After graduating from Parry Sound High School, he attended the University of Toronto. It was while studying there that he met Lynda, who would become his wife of 56 years.
\nAfter completing a second degree in Physical Education at McMaster University, Peter began a long and successful career as a high school teacher. A northern boy at heart, Peter and Lynda moved from Toronto to Huntsville in 1966, shortly after the birth of their first daughter Casey. Their second daughter Erin was welcomed in 1968. They purchased the former Rowanwood Lodge waterfront property on Mary Lake in 1970 which became their family home for many happy years.
\nPeter was a respected teacher and coach at Huntsville High School for 30 years. As Head of the Physical Education Department, Peter taught hundreds of students the joys of sport, but even more importantly the value and importance of leadership. His trademark calm but assertive coaching presence behind the bench on the basketball court or on the soccer field was legendary. For the last ten years of his career, Peter was the Head of the HHS Guidance Department, where he was instrumental in developing the highly successful co-operative education program.
\nIn addition to his teaching career, Peter was very active within the Town of Huntsville’s Recreation Department. As a long time volunteer, he chaired numerous committees and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure grants and funding, and improve the facilities and access to recreational opportunities for all Huntsville citizens. This dedication resulted in Peter recently being named to the Huntsville Sports Hall of Fame in the Builder category, and a room named in his honour at the Huntsville Summit Centre.
\nA voracious reader, card player and trivia buff, Peter also enjoyed playing many sports including basketball, hockey, golf and in particular, tennis. He was an avid sports fan, patiently waiting all year for March Madness so he could cheer on his beloved Duke Blue Devils.
\nPeter was a dedicated and patient \u2018Pops\u2019 to his two grandchildren Matthew and Jamie Schouten who were an immense source of pride and joy in his life. His memory will be forever lovingly cherished by Lynda, Casey and her husband Bruce Schouten and Erin and her wife Gerilee Barton.
\nIn the tradition of the HHS teachers social gatherings, an \u201cAfter 4\u201d reception will be held at the Huntsville Active Living Centre on Thursday August 15 from 4 \u2013 6 pm. Please join Peter\u2019s family to share in fond memories of an exceptional man and a life well lived.
\nIn lieu of flowers, a donation in Peter\u2019s memory to the Children\u2019s Foundation of Muskoka<\/a><\/span> or a charity of your choice would be welcomed.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mary Christine Karn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris often said, \u201cI\u2019m the luckiest person alive\u201d. No matter what part of her life she reflected upon, memories brought smiles. She never said no to an invitation to travel, to the theatre, to a party. She embraced life – her vibrant and positive outlook were inspirational.
\nIt is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Chris Karn. Chris died peacefully in Huntsville ON, surrounded by family on August 8, 2019 at the age of 96.
\nGrowing up on Cluny Drive in Toronto, Chris and her sister Pam Biggs attended Branksome Hall from kindergarten to graduation. She went on to attend McDonald College at McGill and graduated with a B.Sc. in 1945. She worked briefly as a dietitian at the Halifax General Hospital and taught adult night school home economics classes for the Montreal School Board. She later completed a B.A. in Library Science at Concordia University and worked part-time running a library program for the Montreal School Board.
\nChris met Gordon Karn, the love of her life, while at university. She and Gordon married in June 1945 and shared 36 wonderful years together in Montreal until his death in 1981. Gordon was a graduate and faculty member at McGill University and pediatric surgeon at the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital.
\nAbove all, Chris was the ultimate wife and mother, homemaker and family manager. She was a committed volunteer with the Montreal Junior League and managed the Opportunity Shop for many years. She was also Chair of the Anglican Church Home in Montreal. She was a brilliant bridge player and Life Master, skier, lifelong learner, active community member, avid reader, excellent cook, skilled seamstress, quilter, knitter and gardener.
\nChris was the beloved matriarch and mentor for her three children, Jinty (Jim Stewart), Kathy (Michael Pearce) and Ian (Sue Barker). She was fiercely proud of her family and loved her sons-in-law and daughter-in-law like her own. She delighted in and took full credit for her extended family which includes 6 grandchildren Andrew Stewart (Susanna), Robin Allison (Zach), Roger Leavens (Claudia) Sarah Leavens (Bryce), David Pearce (Rachelle) and Michelle Pearce; and 10 great grandchildren who were thrilled to have such a special \u2018GG\u2019.
\nMontreal and Stuart Florida were both favourite spots that held countless fond memories, but Treetops — her childhood cottage on Glenmount Road on Lake of Bays — was Chris\u2019 special happy place. She introduced Gordon to the lake on their honeymoon and has since shared Treetops with the next three generations. Nothing made her happier than knowing family and friends were enjoying the cottage.
\nAn army of people will remember Chris for her thoughtfulness, wisdom, generosity and kindness. She was a small person who made a big impact. To her children and family, she leaves a legacy of the value of hard work, an open mind and the power of kindness. She had a great wit and many sayings that the family has integrated into the lexicon of \u201cGrammy Wisdom\u201d: \u201cGet on with it\u201d, \u201cYou\u2019ll be okay,\u201d \u201cThings always work out in the end.\u201d The family is fiercely proud of her and trust that her enduring spirit will comfort them in this time of their very deep loss.
\nChris enjoyed 8 years at Chartwell Traditions in Huntsville. She loved the community and was very grateful for the wonderful care and attention she received from the entire staff there, particularly over the past several months.
\nMany thanks to the doctors and nurses at Huntsville Memorial District Hospital, for their kind and compassionate care in Chris\u2019 final days. Special thanks to Dr. Mathies, her family doctor, to Dr. Bryan Knappett her naturopath and counsellor, and to Dr. Small and the entire palliative team who provided such exceptional personal and professional care.
\nA Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday August 28, at Mitchell Funeral Home, 15 High St, Huntsville ON P1H 1N9. There will be a reception following until 4 p.m. Donations may be made in honour of Chris to The Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation,<\/a><\/span> or to the charity of your choice.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>She volunteered with countless organizations in the community including the Huntsville Skating Club, Lionesses, Red Hatters, Algonquin Theatre, and the Algonquin Grace Hospice.

After 7 successful years, the motel was sold and the couple took on their next entrepreneurial adventure, by moving to town and purchasing a property on Brunel Road, for their business, Heritage House (Antiques & Gifts). After running this business successfully for the next 12 years, Pat and Lynn semi-retirement but still pursued their passion for antiques, travel and summers at the family cottage.

\u201cMy mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor<\/a>, and some style.\u201d (Maya Angelou)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Samuel James Joel<\/u> Snowden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is with great sadness and sorrow that Diana and John Snowden announce the sudden passing of their son Samuel James Joel<\/u> Snowden on May 22, 2019.
\nAt the time of his death Joel was working as a welder in Sorel-Tracy just north of Montreal. A lot was happening in his life recently; perhaps too much. He had just successfully completed a two-year course in Thunder Bay as an Aero-space Technologist and had also recently passed his certification as a Red Seal Welder. This welding certification had been a tough grueling accomplishment that made us so proud of him. In spite of this welding success, he was preparing to return to Thunder Bay in September to complete a third year at Confederation College, to become further qualified, a significant challenge since he was 35 and out of school for many years. Joel had faced a number of personal challenges in his life. He seemed to be overcoming these demons but who knows what forces cause a person to decide that death is preferable to life. Our faith is such that we trust and believe our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ when He said He would never leave us or forsake us, even till the end of time.
\nWe have many fond and lasting memories of this wonderful fine baby; child; boy; man. Joel was smart, as indicated by his recent success; although only 5 ft 6 in he was an athlete skilled in basketball, baseball, track and field, hockey, soccer, and golf; his musical talents showed in guitars and drums; he loved the outdoors, especially riding his motorcycle. Joel was also an intellectual having many discussions on various topics both spiritual and secular. He had a soft, gentle and loving side to him as well as a sharp dry sense of humour
\nJoel will be sadly missed by his sister Candia Cope (George); her brother Jean-Andre; Grandparents, Rebecca and Sam Muzzi; all the many Aunts, Uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and co-workers.
\nVisitation for Joel will be held at Mitchell Funeral Home on Wednesday, May 29, 2019 from 6-8pm. Catholic Prayer will be held at 7:30pm during visitation.
\nFuneral mass will be held at Saint Mary of the Assumption Parish, Huntsville on Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 11 am.<\/p>\n

\"\"Carolyn Rushton<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday, April 15th, 2019, Carolyn Rushton, loving daughter, mother, sister and friend, passed away peacefully at the age of 74, holding her daughter\u2019s hand, at Muskoka Landing in Huntsville, Ontario.
\nCarolyn was born on September 14th, 1944, in Truro, Nova Scotia, to Lloyd and Dorothy (nee Millen) Rushton. She was the second of five children. At a young age, the family moved from Truro to Brantford, Ontario where Carolyn helped raise her two younger sisters and brother.
\nAfter graduating from Pauline Johnson High School in Brantford, Carolyn worked for a couple years in Ottawa, Ontario before moving to Frobisher Bay, Northwest Territories where she gave birth to her daughter, Michelline. She returned to Ontario in 1975 and settled in Huntsville, where she started her career working for the Ministry of Natural Resources a few years later. She worked for the MNR for over 25 years, in the Huntsville, Pembroke and North Bay office. She retired in 2006. Unfortunately, her retirement was plagued by poor health and she was not able to fully enjoy the free time she so richly deserved.
\nThose who met Carolyn all agree she was one who would put others\u2019 needs before her own. There is not one specific thing she would do; she would help each person as their needs arose and do what she could. Each person has their own story of how Carolyn touched their life.
\nIn 2009, due to declining health, Carolyn required more one-on-one care and moved from her home in North Bay to Muskoka Landing in Huntsville. This did not stop her from looking out for others. She actively participated in resident councils at Muskoka Landing, advocating for other residents. She also kept herself busy by volunteering at the home, greeting guests and helping at events. She most enjoyed attending classes when crafts or baking were done. She created many friends during her time there and they will miss her greatly.
\nCarolyn was preceded in death by her father (Lloyd) and her mother (Dorothy). She is survived by her daughter Michelline (William), her two brothers Arnold (Carol) and Brian (Shirley) and two sisters Brenda and Marilyn, along with five nephews and one niece.
\nAs per Carolyn\u2019s wishes, cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held on Saturday, May 25th, 2019 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Billingsley Funeral Home, 430 Ravenscliffe Road, Huntsville. A memorial service will take place at 1:00 p.m. with a reception to follow.<\/p>\n

\"\"FABRICIUS, John<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

John passed away after a long battle with cancer on May 4, 2019 at Algonquin Grace Residential Hospice, surrounded by family.

\nJohn was born in Horsens, Denmark and in 1957 he immigrated to Canada with his parents, sister Joan and brother Per. His sister Annette was later born in Canada. The family settled in Hamilton and from that moment on John was a Canadian and he never looked back to Denmark, other than to hold on to some ideals of the old Norse traditions.
\nJohn met the love of his life, Martha, in Hamilton in 1965 and they married in 1967. John’s Viking nature made him always look for adventure, so in 1976, with two young children in tow, he and Martha moved to Otter Lake Road, Huntsville, an unmaintained road that led to the lot on the lake that they would build their life on. He had a great love of the outdoors and adventure. He loved to camp, canoe and fish and he shared his love of those things with his family.
\nJohn worked through the years at Dynes Electric in Hamilton, RED-D-ARC in Hamilton and once in Huntsville – Domtar, now Panolam, where he retired from as a millwright.
\n<\/span>The family would like to thank the dedicated team that was there with him throughout his journey.

Passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at the Huntsville District Memorial Hospital at the age of 84. Beloved husband of Elizabeth Hughes (nee McLaverty) of 54 years. Loving father of Rob (Kathy) Hughes, Betty Ann (Ernie) Lowell and Jonathan (Sharon) Hughes. Cherished grandfather of Kristen, Rachel, Noah and Jacob.
\nBruce Alfred Hughes was born and raised in East York, the only child of Alfred and Constance. During high school he joined the East York Track Club and later also joined the University of Toronto track club, where he was enrolled in the Geology program. As a long distance and cross country track runner, Bruce missed out on participating in the British Empire games in Wales by two seconds. During his time at U of T, Fred Foote was the coach of both clubs and through his influence and example Bruce became a Christian. He started attending Bethel AGC and grew in his walk with the Lord and served there till 1964.
\nAfter graduating from U of T, Bruce first worked at Prudential Life as a Health and Life Underwriter, and started at Toronto Bible College Evening Courses. He graduated from TBC and went on to be the Alumni Chair for many years.
\nBruce and Elizabeth McLaverty were married in 1964 and went to Calvary AGC where Bruce taught the College and Career class. Bruce was offered a job in London in 1969 where he was Vice President of an insurance company. We joined Glen Cairn Baptist where he taught a large Adult Class Sunday mornings. He was also Deacon of Missions and through his influence they began Short Term Missions where many youth and college young people went out for the summer with SPRINT Missions. When we moved to Calvary Oakville, he started the Short Term Missions program started and led a small group.
\nWhile in London Small Groups were being started, Bruce led both a church and neighbourhood small group for many years. He definitely had the gift of teaching and organizing.
\nAfter retiring to Port Sydney in the year 2000, Bruce went back to a hobby he had started years previously. He joined the Muskoka Stamp Club. After a few years, he became President of the club for many years and ran a large Stamp Show yearly in Bracebridge until he became ill.
\nAfter moving to Port Sydney Bruce was asked to join the Port Sydney Parks and Rec. This was an entirely different outlet for Bruce and one he enjoyed for many years. Bruce also enjoyed spending time with his four grandchildren (Kristen, Rachel, Noah and Jacob).
\nBruce was a gentle, quiet man who had a wonderful dry humour and wit. During his time in the hospital, the nurses mentioned how they enjoyed his humour and I often heard them chuckle. Also, during his sickness and many months in the hospital and rehab, I never heard him complain or show that he felt sorry for himself. He was very accepting of his situation.

\"\"Audlee Tredgett<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As Roland Cilliers of the Forester wrote, in an article in 2018, \u201dto call Audlee Tredgett a local celebrity is a bit of an understatement.\u201d
\nAudlee was from Toronto originally, grew up in Orillia at HRC, and came to Huntsville in 1987, but not without the concerns of his family and friends, that a community may take advantage of his gentle nature. Once he settled into his own apartment, group living was not his thing, and neither was a sheltered workshop, he found work in the community, and he began to thrive. And thrive, and thrive he did, until he became a local celebrity. He was passionate about people, he needed to be among them, greeting them and catching up. He loved his church, and all the people in the church, old and new, and participated in all activities going on. He was an active church member, and held honored roles in the church.
\nHe loved sports, and the Otters, all the Otters, and was at all the games and practices, and cheered them on. He participated in Special Olympics, bowling, Rotary, he was on the Board of Directors for Community Living Huntsville, he played piano and drums at church any chance he could, contributed to church bulletins and services whenever he could, and became very familiar with the radio stations. He made friends wherever he went, and always remembered their names and birthdays. He attended all the activities in Huntsville, and was fully present and participating in music groups and dances, cheering on dance troupes, and artists, and visitors, concerts and parades.
\nAs Grant Nickalls, friend of Audlee\u2019s, said, \u201cAudlee is a community-driven person, one of the people who makes you feel like he\u2019s been waiting for you all day!\u201d
\nWe are all richer for having known him, and blessed to have called him friend.
\nAudlee is survived by his sister Lynda Davis, nephew Ralph Fish, and niece Patty Lynn. He died peacefully Saturday March 23, 2019 at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital.
\nThe visitation will take place on March 31, 2019 at Billingsley Funeral Home, 430 Ravenscliffe Road, Huntsville from 2-4 p.m., 6-8 p.m. and on April 1, 2019 from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Salvation Army, 4 Mary Street, Huntsville followed by the funeral service at 1 p.m. Reception to follow.

\"\"<\/strong>C<\/strong><\/a>ALVERT, William Coulter \u201cBill\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>It is with deep sadness that the family of Bill Calvert announce his passing after a brief, but critical illness, on Saturday, March 9, 2019, at the age of 77 years. Bill will be lovingly cherished by his wife of 52 years, Sandy and his children, Erin (David), Paige (Jerry, predeceased) and Ryan (Alisha). Bill will also be fondly remembered by his treasured grandchildren Noah and Cora, and by his extended family and dear friends.
\nBill received his Bachelor of Science in Forestry from the University of New Brunswick in 1965, followed by his Master of Science in Wildlife Biology and Park Planning from Acadia University in 1969. As part of his thesis, he wrote the Master Plan for Algonquin Provincial Park. Since then he held several posts with the Ministry of Natural Resources including Assistant Director of the Conservation Authorities Branch, Provincial Park Supervisor for Southern Ontario, District Manager in Chapleau and Chief Naturalist of Algonquin Park. He also held senior executive positions with the Government of Ontario including Assistant Deputy Minister with the Ministry of Government Services, Executive Director in the Cabinet Office and Regional Director for Northwestern Ontario with the Ministry of Northern Affairs. Bill enjoyed a 20+<\/sup> year career as the Chief Administrative Officer of the District Municipality of Muskoka. In his retirement, Bill undertook varied, part-time consulting assignments for provincial and municipal governments specializing in management and natural resources consulting, including co-chairing the Algonquin Land Claim. Most recently he contributed his business acumen as a Board member to the Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation.
\nBill\u2019s passion and respect for wildlife and conservation fuelled his ongoing stewardship and exploration of Algonquin Park. Since his teenage years, Bill led family members and close friends to his favourite fishing lakes, campsites and vistas while identifying wildflowers and birdsong along the way. Bill meticulously kept track of the distance he solo portaged his canoe, and recently calculated that the distance he had carried his canoe in Algonquin Park was the equivalent to him portaging it across Canada.
\nIn addition to being an expert angler, Bill was an avid hunter. As captain for the Lostwater Lake club he led a group of men on many successful hunting expeditions.
\nWith intense practice and passion for the sport, Bill was a scratch golfer playing typically 150+<\/sup> games a year and achieving seven lifetime hole-in-ones.
\nHe loved his family. He loved life, and he lived it well.
\nDonations in memory of Bill may be made to The Friends of Algonquin Park<\/em>, which he helped establish alongside his close \u201cPark family\u201d in 1983. Alternatively, support may be made to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation, a crucial cornerstone dedicated to improving health care services for the residents of his beloved Muskoka and Algonquin. www.mitchellfuneralhome.ca<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"LANE, Douglas Laughlin<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n

On March 5, 2019, Douglas Laughlin Lane, aged 84, passed away surrounded by his wife and children. Doug is survived by his loving wife, Grace (nee Wismayer), and nine children: Allen (Kim) of Burlington; Brian (Rena) of Shanghai, China; David (Paivi) of Burk’s Falls; Sandra Newton (Bill Johnson) of Burk\u2019s Falls; Doug (Miranda) of High Level, Alberta; Mark (Shelley Yearley) of Huntsville; Sharon Harling (Richard DeGrate) of Waco, Texas; Lorraine Blackmore of Calgary, Alberta; and John of Toronto. He was grandpa to 27 grandchildren and great-grandpa to 30 children. Doug is also survived by sister, Maxine Reid, as well as many nieces and nephews. Doug was predeceased by his sister, Dorothy Turnbull; brother, Lawrence; son-in-law, Paul Newton; daughter-in-law Joanna Lane; foster children Tim and Evelyn.
\nDoug was born in Bancroft, Ontario on February 5, 1935 to John (Jack) and Pearl Lane. Doug served in the Artillery Squadron of the Canadian Airforce in the 1950s. He was deployed to France in 1954 through to the end of 1955. Doug and Grace met in Toronto on a blind date just before he left. They continued to date and exchange letters while Doug served in France. He proposed upon his return, and they were wed on June 2, 1956, residing in Toronto (where Doug worked for the City of Toronto at Centre Island) until moving to Huntsville in 1967. Once they arrived in Huntsville, he began working at Canusa. On the side, he built a set of stairs at a boathouse and did such a beautiful job that the clients kept referring him to others. As a result, he became increasingly busy so he opened Lane Services, maintaining and building homes and cottages in the Lake of Bays and Muskoka area. He also worked as a building inspector in Lake of Bays Township for four years. This was when computers were increasingly present in workplaces and Doug would often say \u201cI could have added that faster in my head!\u201d After leaving Lake of Bays, Doug started on his own again. Even after he retired, he continued to help family and friends with building projects large and small. Doug enjoyed fishing with his family \u2013 embarking on canoe trips into Algonquin Park, a flight to Labrador, and road trips around the province, including to Iron Bridge. Doug was a master wood craftsman, creating beds, roll top desks, canoes, tables, burl bowls and other items for his children and grandchildren. He had such a natural talent that he was able to complete all these projects by envisioning the item and then building it without relying upon plans. He resided with Grace and her sister, Doris Campbell, in the home he built overlooking the marsh. There he watched the wildlife and spent time visiting with his many family members. He will be remembered for his sharp wit\/sense of humour which kept everyone on their toes. In 2016, Doug and Grace celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. In his later years, as his health declined, he was supported at home by a number of home care staff. When staying at home was no longer an option, Doug benefited from the care at Huntsville Hospice.
\nThe family would like to thank Dr. Paul Bastedo, Dr. Devon Brisson, the nurses and staff at Huntsville Hospital and Huntsville Hospice, CCAC, Friends, Closing the Gap, and the many friends who showed Doug so much kindness.
\nA celebration of life will be held at Deerhurst Resort on March 30, 2019 from 1 to 4 pm. Donations in Doug\u2019s memory can be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation or Huntsville Hospice. Messages of condolence can be left at www.billingsleyfuneralhome.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\nIt is with sadness and heartbreak that the Ruby family announces the sudden passing on March 3, 2019 of Eric Ruby, age 70, in Huntsville, Ont. Beloved son of Murray and Stella Ruby, brother to Michael, Paula (Martin), uncle to Stefan and Michaela and friend to many.
\nEric was a passionate athlete his entire life. From the Huntsville mainstays of hockey where he played goal to lacrosse to skiing which took him to stints in Switzerland in the 70s and western Canada. A ferocious tennis player, he confused opponents by hitting strokes with either his right or left hand. Some racquets were broken along the way. In later years Eric took to the pool enjoying swimming.
\nEric spent many years working with his father Murray, at Ruby’s Men\u2019s Wear, where Eric brightened up the Main Street with his colourful sense of humor and boisterous commentary. Eric had a wicked sense of humour and hijinks and a “way” with words.
\nHe was a thoughtful friend to many. Ever caring, keeping in touch and picking out the best cards for all occasions to the chuckles of all.
\nA gathering of friends and family will be held on May 11th at Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Club Chalet at 11 a.m., lunch to follow.

\"\"MITCHELL-RADFORD, Mary Josephine (nee Turnbull)<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It is with sad, yet grateful hearts that we announce the passing of our mom, sister, grandma and great grandma who went home to be with her Lord on February 19, 2019 at the age of 94 years.
\n<\/span>Mary was predeceased by her husbands Gordon Mitchell (1994) and Harold Radford (2009). She was loving mother to Suzanne (David) Ward of Stirling, Ontario, Glenna, d.2017 (Donald) Russell of Port Sydney, Ontario and Beverly (Larry) Offner of Utterson, Ontario.

\n<\/span>Mary was so creative and artistically gifted and could transform any home into a place of beauty – we wondered if their many house moves were a result of mom’s need to constantly redecorate! She was an amazing seamstress, and lovingly created and stitched all of her daughter’s wedding dresses. She was a homemaker extraordinaire, committing herself to serving her family, and being there for them – always.
\n<\/span>Above all, Mary was a women of very great faith and love which she demonstrated to her family and friends every day. She loved Her Lord, and trusted Him faithfully through her life – through great celebrations and deep losses. This is the legacy she has left for us all to follow.

\"\"Florence “Flo” May Osmond<\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/span>May 11, 1961 to November 1, 2018<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Florence passed away at Algonquin Grace Hospice, Huntsville on Thursday, November 1, 2018 in her 58th year.
\n<\/span>Daughter of the late Gerald and Osta Osmond. Loving sister of Mary and her husband Glenn Watson of Utterson, Dwight Osmond of Huntsville and Sheldon Osmond of Toronto. Dear aunt to Kurtis and Benjamin.
\n<\/span>We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of Florence’s friends and family members for their unfailing support and also to the incredibly compassionate and caring team at Algonquin Grace Hospice. She left this world knowing she was well loved.
\n<\/span>We’d like to share a section from Florence’s “Dignity Questionnaire” which she composed at the Hospice a few days before her passing.
\n<\/span>“I grew up in Huntsville and was born in the old hospital which is now Fairvern. I went to school here including Georgian College in Bracebridge for the PSW course. I was also in Moosejaw, Sask. from about age 22 to 26 at a little Bible College there; I loved it. The advantage was I got a BA degree which allowed me to work at Camp Tawingo since they favour degrees there.
\n<\/span><\/em>How did I end up in Moosejaw? Well, we were brought up in the Free Methodist Church and at a gathering, a couple of girls and I decided to go out to the the Bible College. From there, I was the Food Service Director at Camp Tawingo and was there for 17 years – it was a very big job with long hours and a lot of responsibility. I lived there, had room and board, I never wasted my money, so I was able to save money. I owned my own home.
\n<\/span><\/em>One day I’d had enough of camp. I went to work doing private home care for a couple in their 90’s who lived on an island. Money was never the end-all and be-all for me. I did the PSW course at Georgian in Bracebridge and started with Muskoka Landing in 2001, part-time and eventually full-time.
\n<\/span><\/em>What I’ve found meaningful is my work there. The staff and the residents were just the best to work with. The residents, you can’t not just love them, some of the things they come up with! I would try and stick with the ones who had no-one, it’s not fair for people to be alone – it’s an important part of the job.
\n<\/span><\/em>People wondered if I’d go get more education to be an RPN or RN, but no, I wanted to have free time. I was happy doing what I did. And I wanted time to do other things, to have my life be more mine. I was in the Community Choir right from the beginning; I love singing. I was in the Huntsville Community Policing for several years; I’d heard about it and thought “that looks different” and joined up. We worked along side the OPP doing safety things, like bike rodeos, the Kids’ Tri in Port Sydney, reminding them about helmets and so on. I also volunteered at the Restore.
\n<\/span><\/em>It seems my life has been cut short. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2004, and had 3 recurrences – I always hoped it wouldn’t come back and this time, it’s the worst. But I have enjoyed myself, I’m not a big hero. It wasn’t in the cards to have a partner. I’m basically just a happy, good-natured person. I would never hurt anyone.
\n<\/span><\/em>The most important thing is family \u2013 I have an older sister (Mary) and brother (Dwight), a younger brother (Sheldon), 2 nephews (Kurtis and Benjamin) and a brother-in-law (Glenn). We take care of each other. Mary especially always took care of me, even before I was sick.
\n<\/span><\/em>My advice to others – boy, life is so difficult for young people, sometimes they don’t have gumption. I’d say to them to have the courage just to do things.
\n<\/span><\/em>I’m still religious – I know God is there and wants to protect me.”
\n<\/span><\/em>Visitation for Flo Osmond will be held at the Mitchell Funeral Home, 15 High Street, Huntsville on Monday, November 5, 2018 from 6-8 p.m. <\/span><\/strong>A Graveside service will be held on Tuesday, November 6th<\/sup> at 2:30p.m. in Hutcheson Memorial Cemetery, Muskoka Rd 3 North (the grave is in the back section of the cemetery). <\/span><\/strong>Following the graveside service, a reception will be held at Faith Baptist Church, 169 West Road, Huntsville (commencing at approximately 3pm). <\/span><\/strong>In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Algonquin Grace Hospice, would be appreciated.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amy passed very peacefully into God\u2019s eternal care on Friday, August 10, 2018 at The Pines Nursing Home in Bracebridge, Ontario, surrounded by family.
\nShe is survived by two daughters Karen Acton (John) and Janice Billett (Jerome) and two sons Joel (Carla, deceased) and Michael (Fiona). She was a loving gentle \u201cNana\u201d to 14 grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Shirley Holden of Sudbury, Ontario.
\nAmy was predeceased by husband Peter Henry Harrower and sisters Margaret McCormick, Flora Passmore, Bernice McLaren, Elsie Jelbert, Eva Paquette, Helen Irving and Ruth Monette.
\nThe daughter of Mathew and Edith Beckett, Amy was born April 20,1925 in Uxbridge, Ontario and later moved to Timmins, Ontario with her family. After high school, Amy started her first career in photography at Royal Studio in Timmins. She then married Pete, her war time \u201cdance partner\u201d, in a candle light service on December 26, 1946 and started her own family in 1949.
\n\"\"She was a proud, capable and loving stay-at-home Mom throughout her children\u2019s\u2019 school years. Amy was the silent partner in her husband\u2019s illustrious business career and in 1971 she and her sister Flo stared their own successful small business, The Art Mart. In her business years she also became a Toast Mistress, taught Smoke Enders courses throughout Northern Ontario and continued her participation in local charities.
\nAmy loved reading, card games, skiing and waterskiing, archery, swimming, became a late-in-life golfer and was simply unbeatable at Crossword. She had a beautiful singing voice and sang with the Dorothea Mascioli Choir in Timmins and The Sweet Adelines in Florida. She and Pete decided to retire and live on a boat in Florida for ten winters starting in the late 1980\u2019s. They spent their retirement summers in Kingston until moving to Huntsville in 1999. Her home and Barbers Bay cottage were always welcoming and open to her large extended family, many friends and the wide variety of characters her kids called friends.
\nAlways \u201cgame\u201d, Amy went parasailing at the age of 80. Her \u201cnever complain, just get on with it attitude\u201d was simply awe inspiring and her quick and lovely smile and razor-sharp wit remained with her to the end.
\nThe family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Muskoka Traditions where Amy lived for 10 years, and to The Venerable Dawn Henderson for her ministry there , the calm and caring staff at The Pines where she spent the last 6 months and a very special thank you to Val Forbes and her team of \u201ccompanions\u201d, who gently and lovingly tended to Amy\u2019s every need for the last two years.
\nAmy was a lifelong member of the Anglican Church, where she served in the Altar Guild at Saint Matthews in Timmins and later attended All Saints in Huntsville, where a memorial service will be held at 2 P.M. on Sunday, October 14, 2018.
\nShould you wish to make a donation in her memory at this time please consider the CNIB, All Saints Church in Huntsville or a charity of your choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Barbara Desiree Mills (nee Conway)<\/strong><\/div>\n
March 28, 1922 – September 8, 2018<\/strong><\/div>\n
Our dear mother passed away peacefully in her sleep in her 97th year, at home in her retirement residence. She had lived a full life, and after a pleasant evening with Judith watching Nadal play tennis (her favourite next to Federer), she slipped away in the wee hours of Saturday morning. She was predeceased by her husband of 53 years, John Mills, her brother Abbott Conway, sister Helen O\u2019Connor, parents Jennie and Worrell Conway and her good friend Bill Macdonald. Barbara leaves her children: Jennifer, Judith, Terry and Megan; grandchildren: Alex Sayers, Michael Campbell, Mary Claire Mills and John Mills; and great-grandchildren: Elsie, Arlo, Lola, Judith and Lane.
\nMom was the last remaining grandchild of C.O. and Jennie Shaw who were associated with Bigwin Inn, the Anglo-Canadian Leather Band and tannery and the steamships that sailed the lakes in the early days. Mom was born and grew up in Huntsville with a vivid appreciation of the woods and lakes, and could identify the calls of all the birds. She would often talk about her favourite activities, tennis, skiing, and the summers at Norway Point, Lake of Bays in the days of steamships and the portage railway. Those now distant times wove through the depression and into the war, and after studying Fine Arts at Trinity College, U of T she joined the WRCNS and was stationed in Halifax. She had many stories from her time in the navy as a signaller sending messages to ships in the harbour. She had the advantage that old friends arriving in port could contact her directly from their ships to make plans for a party that evening. The Halifax riot at the end of the war was a most memorable experience. After the war, she married our father, John, had children and we eventually returned to live in Huntsville for some years. She was a wonderful and energetic mother who loved children, along with writing, painting, silversmithing, reading and horses which she effortlessly did all at once.
\nIn her eighties she wrote and illustrated two books based on her memories of her early life in Muskoka. These are sold in most bookstores in the Muskoka area. So here\u2019s to a life well lived. She was a true-heart and someone who loved a project. A special thank you to the staff at Balmoral Club who patiently provided care and support as her mobility became difficult. A celebration of her life has taken place in Toronto. Interment in <\/span>Huntsville at a later date.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nWally passed away comfortably and peacefully on Friday August 10, 2018 at the age of 92 in Bracebridge Hospital, after a pleasant, nurturing seven-year stay at The Pines Long Term Care Home in Bracebridge. All of the wonderful staff and volunteers at The Pines provided Wally the best of care in his times of need. He battled kidney failure, COPD, Dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s.
\nWally was the eldest of four, born to his late parents Joe and Lillian Chappell on June 11, 1926 in Toronto. Wally bicycled to and from Weston Collegiate Institute every day as a teen and one fateful day he decided to enlist, February 1945, in the Royal Canadian Navy. After months of training, he was stationed in England where he patrolled the English and French coastlines until the end of hostilities. He was released from active duty in 1949. He served on the HMCS Cornwallis, HMCS York and HMCS Iroquois to name a few. In 1967, Wally married Janette \u2018Jinny\u2019 Bayford and they moved to Huntsville with Jinny\u2019s daughter, Lynn Bayford.
\nWally happily worked for Sterisystems Ltd., for 40 years and travelled between Huntsville and Bolton until his retirement in 1991. Soon thereafter, Wally became involved with the Huntsville chapter of the Muskoka Music Men choir and their classic barbershop music and the All Saints\u2019 Anglican Church choir in Huntsville. Wally was also a brother of the Huntsville Masonic Unity Lodge No. 376 and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Huntsville Branch 232. He really enjoyed being involved with these civic organizations.
\nWally will be remembered for his quick wit and his trademark sense of humor that touched the lives of many people with his big smile all the way to the end. He loved listening to classical music and of course watching \u201dBugs Bunny\u201d, the \u201cCarry On\u201d films which were a long series of movies made with a diverse troupe of British comic actors from the 1950\u2019s to the 1970\u2019s. He had a great knowledge and interest in evolution, classical composers and history, especially Egyptian history.
\nWally is survived by his daughter Lynn McIntyre, son-in-law Paul McIntyre and grand-daughter Sally McIntyre; brother Ronald Chappell; brother-in-law Frank Schedlowich; sister-in law Joyce Chappell; Barb Cooper; nieces Debbie Lamoreaux; Gail Mosher; nephews David Mosher, Randy and Paul Schedlowich; nephew-in-laws Jim Lamoreaux; Richard Davies; Don Bouwman; Brian White; Tony Reis; niece-in-laws Carmen Davies; Michelle Labine; Lesley Davies; Kim White; Sherri Cooper-Reis; Shelly Nicole; Jenny Cordaro; Margaret Ewald.

\"\"WELCH, Elliott<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Elliott died on August 7, 2018, at 43, after a year long struggle with glioblastoma. He is survived by his parents, Pat and Anthony Welch, his brother, Aaron (Monica).
\nElliott was born and raised in Huntsville, Ontario.
\nElliott was a committed environmentalist. As a teenager he served on the Muskoka Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, compiled a green directory with the support of a provincial grant and wrote a feasibility study for a centralized compost system in Huntsville.
\nGraduating from high school at the top of his class, he won a President\u2019s scholarship to the University of Guelph, where he studied Environmental Science. At university he won the Governor General\u2019s Academic medal which he received from the Governor General at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.
\nAfter graduating with an Honours B.Sc. (Env.) with distinction, he joined the federal civil service, starting in Guelph, where he worked for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. In 2001 he switched to Human Resources and Skills Development, where he worked in occupational health, safety and the environment, and moved to Toronto, a city that he loved.
\nElliott was a passionate advocate for gay rights. One of his last accomplishments as a civil servant was co-founding the national Pride Network for his department.
\nElliott was a gracious and generous host. His Pride parties were legendary. No one who attended will forget Elliott\u2019s 30th birthday party when, in drag as Miranda Mimosa, Miranda had the entire audience singing along with her rendition of \u201cQue sera, sera.\u201d
\nIn 2009, Elliott\u2019s career took him to Ottawa. In 2016 he returned to Toronto so he could be closer to his parents and better able to support them as they aged. It was not to be.
\nA huge fan of streetcars and trains, he was about to embark on a holiday train trip to Halifax in July 2017, when, not feeling well, he went to the emergency department at Mount Sinai. Five days later he was in surgery.
\nHe faced his diagnosis with strength, courage and grace, always caring for the comfort of others before his own. He was most concerned about the impact the disease had on his family. His parents, bravely and courageously, stood by his side for his entire journey, moving in with him to provide care and comfort and holding vigil at his beside. Pat, Anthony, Aaron and Elliott\u2019s friend, Jeremy, were with him when he died.
\nHis family would like to thank Dr. Bryson at Princess Margaret Palliative care for his kindness and Krysten and Fred at Bridgepoint for their excellent nursing care of Elliott. They would also like to thank Jeremy, Carol, Bob, Shelley, Eileen, Monica and Kirk for their kindness and support.
\nA service will be held in the chapel of the Mitchell Funeral Home, 15 High Street, Huntsville P1H 1N9 on Tuesday, August 14th, with visitation starting at noon and a service at 1 pm.
\nIn lieu of flowers, Elliott requested that donations be made to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and be directed to the Gerry and Nancy Penner Brain Tumour Centre endowment.

Howard passed suddenly in his home on July 9th, 2018, which would have been his 63rd wedding anniversary with his much missed “dearie”, Roma. Loving father of Shawnah Sturgeon, Byron Maw, Julie Maw (Wayne Shelly) and Brady Maw (Jaci). Cherished grandfather of Jesse (Janelle), Cody (Emily), Sean (Teri), Jay (Jen), Sarah (Bart), Brenna, and the late Ben. Proud great-grandfather of Olivia, Emma, Walter, William, Warren, Lochlan, David, Henry and Cecelia. Caring brother of Brian, George, Alice and the late Sheilah. Howard was the cherished patriarch of the Maw family and will be greatly missed by his immediate close knit family and extended family as well as his many friends of all ages.
\n<\/span>He was very active in his community–always trying to help others. He was a long-time Emsdale Lions Club member and a familiar face in recent years at the Novar Foodland selling tickets. He taught all who had the special privilege of knowing him; many lessons were taught simply by how he lived his life: Give more than you have, respect everyone, work hard–but enjoy all the simple moments, have a sense of humour about everything and family is first.
\n<\/span>He also had a simple way of judging if a person was good. If they loved children and animals, they were good. He will live on in us all.
\n<\/span>The family invites friends to a graveside service on<\/span> Friday, July 13, 2018 at Hutcheson Memorial Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. <\/span>The celebration of life will be held immediately following the burial at Chaffey Hall, 24 Chaffey Township Road, Huntsville. <\/span>As an expression of sympathy memorial donations can be made to Hospice Huntsville.

Passed away peacefully at Fairvern Nursing Home on July 1<\/span>st, 2018<\/sup><\/span>. He was in his 93<\/span>rd<\/sup><\/span> year.
\n<\/span>Chuck was born and raised in 1925 in Orangeville, Ontario where he lived what he considered to be an idyllic, rural childhood.

\"\"Joanne Edith McLean (nee Currie), July 15, 1955 to July 2, 2018<\/a><\/strong>
\nBeloved wife, mother, sister, friend, coach.
\nIt is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we share the passing of Joanne McLean following a courageous four year battle with cancer. Joanne was born in Weston, Ontario the eldest daughter of Harvey and Vera Currie, both of whom are predeceased. After receiving an Honours B.Sc. in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo, Joanne began a very successful career in the fitness and wellness business serving in both corporate and entrepreneurial roles with such organizations as Barbie Allen Dancercise, Nortel Networks and Astra Pharma. In 2003, Joanne began her own leadership and executive coaching practice, Soulzatwork, offering coaching services to both individuals and organizations. This work excited and fulfilled Joanne, and her success was a reflection of her exceptional skill and talent. She was soon invited to join the faculty at The Banff Centre for Leadership in Banff, Alberta to facilitate and coach in various leadership programs, a role she held for many years. Once diagnosed with cancer, Joanne recognized a need in Muskoka for a centre that would provide supports to cancer patients and their caregivers to help normalize their journey with the disease. Enliven Muskoka (www.enlivenmuskoka.ca) was co-created in 2016 by Joanne, and through the support of a dedicated board of directors and volunteers, is focused on fulfilling that vision. Joanne\u2019s love for her work saw her continuing to coach and to stay involved with Enliven up to a month before she passed.
\nJoanne is survived by her husband, David, her son, Spencer, and her sisters Sharon Herrndorf (Chris), and Dale Porter (Richard).
\nA memorial gathering will take place at Joanne and David\u2019s home at 612 Swallowdale on Saturday, July 7th at 11:00 am followed by refreshments until 4:00pm. Visitation will resume at 7pm until 9pm and again on Sunday from 2pm until 5pm.
\nA Celebration of Life, in the tradition of an Irish Wake, will be held at Joanne and David\u2019s home at 612 Swallowdale on Saturday, August 25th starting at 5:00 p.m.
\nThe family would like to extend their profound appreciation to Joanne\u2019s care team over the years including Drs. Higgins, Cescon, Rask, Bedard and Selak. A special thank you to Dr. Lindsay Macmillan, Dr. Pam McDermott, Ms Norma Connolly and to each of the nurses from Bridging the Gap. Together, you each contributed to Joanne\u2019s comfort over the last several months.
\nRather than sending flowers, the family urges all to contribute to Enliven Muskoka through the donations tab on their webpage (www.enlivenmuskoka.ca<\/a>) . Thank you.<\/p>\n

\"\"Irving, Joyce Louise (Seymour)<\/a><\/strong>
\nJuly 30, 1933 to June 3, 2018<\/p>\n

Joyce Irving of Huntsville passed away peacefully at Algonquin Grace Hospice just two months shy of her 85th<\/sup> birthday. Left to mourn her passing are her children and families: Brenda (Glen deceased) Hammond, Nancy & Roger Irving, Susan & Steve Low, Lorrie & Phillip Lamb, and Tom & Vikky Irving. Joyce had 12 grandchildren, Darrin (Doreen) Hammond, Sabrina (Jason O\u2019Brien) Hammond, Mark (Melissa) Booth, Keith (Amanda) Watts, Ashley Watts, Jennifer (Chris) Low, Daniel (Jamie) Low, Jeremy (Sarah) Lamb, Jason (Fran) Lamb, David (Kelsey) Lamb, Matthew (Stephanie) Lamb, and Aurora Irving. Joyce had 16 great grandchildren: Taylor (Meagan) Hummel, Lily O\u2019Brien, Kayla (Jordan) Beckett, Kelsey (Sam Julian) Smith, Chantal Watts, Alexander Watts, Melody Fotheringham, Jonathon Low, Lloyd Lamb, Sonya Lamb, Jason Lamb, Joel Lamb, Nate Lamb, Rebecca Lamb, Jack Lamb, Johnny Lamb and 4 great-great grandchildren: Avery and Jackson Hummel, Rivers & Eden Beckett. She is survived by her sister Freda (d. Keith) Kingshott and brother Michael (Joy) Seymour. Joyce was predeceased by her infant daughter Linda, her parents Fred and Elsie Seymour of Baysville and siblings Grace (d. Adrian) van Seters, Barbara (d. Donald) Hammond, and Betty-Ann (d. Ron) McQuaid.
\nJoyce was born and raised in Brunel Township at Newholm, where her dad had a sawmill. She married Thomas Irving Sr (d. 2000) and they raised their children across from the mill. Newholm was a thriving community in the early years, with a dance hall, a post office, and a church. Years later the mill property was sold to Roy Hewgill, the post office and the dance hall were closed, and Three Star Lumber Company opened just a little further down the road. Time marches on and it too has ceased operations. Mom was taken aback when the Anglican diocese decommissioned the Holy Trinity Newholm church and allowed it to be desecrated. That was a bee in her bonnet for sure. A lot of memories were made at that church.
\nJoyce had a strong work ethic and spent many years as a laundress at Huntsville Hospital. In her early years she worked at Boleys Bakery in Huntsville and Camp New Moon in Baysville. She loved to read and spent many hours knitting and crocheting, and she had a real passion for quilting and sewing. Many people have received the fruits of her labour, as she really enjoyed making quilts as wedding and baby gifts. She earned many ribbons for her quilts at the Stisted Fair. Joyce loved to bake, and her pecan pies were second to none and in season she loved to make jams, jellies, and salsa. She had fun every spring going to Peter Brooks’ Sugarbush to help him make maple syrup. <\/span>She enjoyed belonging to the Community Seniors Group that meets every week at the Aspdin Hall. She relished the camaraderie with the rest of the group and helping them with their many charity endeavours.
\nJoyce was a hard-working woman, a loyal friend, a faithful companion and a loving mom. Her life was well-lived. She made the in-between years count, and was never shy to lend a hand to anyone who needed it. She will be sadly missed.
\nJoyce has been cremated and we invite friends to help celebrate her life on June 30th<\/sup> at Billingsley Funeral Home. We will have visitation at 1, followed by a memorial service at 2 p.m. with a luncheon and social time to follow. Reverend Peter Simmons will be officiating the service for us. In lieu of flowers donations would be appreciated to either Algonquin Grace Hospice or Huntsville Hospital Auxiliary.
