As a testament to her enduring strength, she was 103 years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was born on June 5, 1922, in Parry Sound, Ontario, where she was raised until she moved to Toronto in her early 20s. She worked there as a stenographer for a period of time and met and married her husband, Victor. Reta and Victor moved to Etobicoke,\u00a0where they bought their first home and lovingly raised their two children.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reta worked at the A&amp;P head office in Etobicoke up until her retirement. Following her retirement, she and Victor moved to Huntsville, Ontario. She spent her retirement years enjoying warm summers and mystery novels by the lake at her cottage on Skeleton\u00a0Lake, and her winters at her vacation home in North Port, Florida. Reta kept an open door to her family at her cottage and vacation home, where there was always love,\u00a0laughter, warmth, and freshly baked goods to be shared.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was a member of the Alderwood United Church in Etobicoke and the Trinity United\u00a0 Church in Huntsville. The church, and its community, meant much to Reta. Outside of\u00a0the church, she treasured being with her family, and there was no one she would not welcome or greet with a smile. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, reading, and crossword puzzles, which kept her sharp and full of wit for over a century.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reta was predeceased by her father, Dave Hudson, her mother, Etta Keivan, her brother, Arnold Hudson, and her husband, Victor. She is survived by her daughter, Mary,\u00a0 her son, John (Patricia), and her grandchildren, Brandon, Kimberly, David, and\u00a0 Katherine. She will be dearly missed by all, and her memory and values will live on through each of them and their families.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family would like to extend its thanks to the Muskoka Landing Long-Term Care for\u00a0the care and support they provided to Reta over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 5, 1922-September 15, 2025\u00a0 Reta Benvie, a beloved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side on September 15, 2025, at Muskoka Landing Long-Term Care.
