Edna Anderson, (nee Dare) passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 14, 2012, surrounded by family at the Civic Hospital, Ottawa, following an injury and surgical complications. She was in her 80th year.

Edna was born on July 6, 1932, in Montreal, where, while in high school, she met the love of her life, Jim Anderson.  

Jim and Edna were married 61 years and happily raised five children.

Edna worked as a jewelry clerk, a census taker and proved herself as a business woman running a silver reclamation business. 

She taught Sunday School, was a Girl Guide Commissioner, and enjoyed riding and raising various animals on the Anderson family farm in Quebec. 

Coming to Ontario, Edna ran the Riverside Motel. Upon retirement, Edna and Jim spent winters in Florida and summers sailing the St. Lawrence River. 

Edna loved to sing and read. She was a natural gardener, a good cook,  a seamstress, and she  loved to entertain family at large gatherings. Home and family meant everything to Edna. 

She was a very strong, dignified woman who loved to socialize and always looked a million bucks.  She will be sorely missed. 

Edna leaves to mourn, her beloved husband James Anderson of Iroquois. She was a loving mother of Robert, Barbara (Gerry), David (Roberta), Donna (Obbe) and daughter-in-law Lyne. 

She was cherished grandmother to Susan, Linda, Michael, Eric, Erin, Rohan, Hannah and Hayden and great grandmother to William, Gabrielle, Connor and Jessie. She was dear sister to Phyllis, Lillian, John (Nora) and Margaret (Gerry) and will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. 

Edna was predeceased by her son Steve and her parents Edith and Henry Dare. 

The family is deeply grateful to the caring and compassionate staff at the Civic Hospital. Donations to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation can be made in Edna’s memory at www.ohfoundation.ca

Keith Russell died peacefully  on February 11, 2014, at Winchester District Memorial Hospital following a brief illness.

Keith was born in Carp, Ontario, January 3, 1929, and the family later moved to Russell, Ontario, where Keith spent his early years. 

There he met and married Lois Smith, and together they raised two children, Doug and Donna.

After Lois’ passing, Keith moved to Morrisburg with Norma, where he enjoyed the benefits of abroad circle of friends and family.

While his professional career was spent with the Hudson Bay Company and Becker’s Stores, Keith’s passions were sports and music. As a young man he was a well known fast ball pitcher, a curler, and a sports coach. 

As a member of the Russ Hay Orchestra, and later the Don Morrell Orchestra, Keith loved playing piano and the company of his band mates.

Sports remained an interest for Keith his whole life, and he could often be found at the baseball diamond or the arena, cheering on the kids. He always enjoyed a good conversation about last night’s game whether it was hockey, football, baseball or curling.  

Keith will be sadly missed by his wife Norma;  children and stepchildren Doug, Donna (Wayne), Wayne (Vicki), Dale (Nancy), Faye (Garth), and grandchildren/great-grandchildren Brent, Lee Ann, Noah  and Jenner as well as Jennifer  (Mark) and Ben.

A celebration of Keith’s life is in the planning and will be announced at a later date.
