Edward Berube

 

 

A resident of R.R.# 1 Iroquois for the past 15 years, Ed Berube passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, April 3, 2014. He was 86.

Edward Berube was born in Ottawa, on December 13, 1927, to his parents Ovila and Margaret Berube (nee Cunningham). He grew up in Ottawa.  

In  1948,  Edward met Georgette Gagnon at a square dance. Edward and Georgette eventually married and shared their life for 64 years. Together they raised their nine children, Georges, Richard, Michel, Robert, Raymond, Suzanne, Edouard,  Margaret and Chantal.  

They were also parents to Lise, a handicapped girl who initially came to live with Ed and Georgette for a month, but became a part of the family and remained with them for 36 years.

Edward and Georgette’s family eventually blessed them with 22 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

In 1983, Edward underwent open heart surgery which was expected to extend his life by five years. Instead he surpassed the doctors’ expectations by living for 31 years.   

A quiet man of faith, Edward lived his entire life for his family.  Intelligent and accomplished, he was a DHIA inspector. He attended and then taught at Kemptville College and taught Karate for eight years. He was a Lion’s Club member and a 4th Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus.

Edward’s favorite meal was Swiss steak, especially if Georgette used his mother’s recipe. He loved his desserts, his tea, and he definitely loved his dogs Wolf, Bingo and Jack.

Edward also loved to travel. He and Georgette visited Hawaii and Mexico, and for 20 years spent their winters in Florida. Edward’s favorite trip was to Medjurgorje, Yugoslavia (as it was known then) to see the Virgin Mary apparitions.

As Edward came into his retirement years, he became an avid Publisher’s Clearinghouse participant.  He also loved to garden and he enjoyed sharing the items from his garden with his family. 

Edward’s favorite pastime was joking and teasing. Many times he attempted to obtain a loan from Lise, and one of his favorite expressions to Georgette, was “gotta cup of tea ma?”

Edward Berube, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather will be missed.  

Edward is survived by his wife of 65 years Georgette Berube (nee Gagnon) and his children Georges (Linda) of South Mountain, Richard (Anne) of Mountain, Michel (Charlotte) of Kemptville, Robert (Nicole) of Renfrew, Raymond of Iroquois, Suzanne Baxter (Maurice Dumoulin) of Kemptville, Edouard (Nicole) of Lennoxville, Margaret Castonguay of Ajax and Chantal Arcand (Barry) of Winchester. 

He will be fondly remembered by his step-brother Marcel Valiquette of Orleans and by 22 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by nieces and nephews.  

Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Iroquois, on Sunday, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.  A Knights of Columbus service was held Sunday at 6:30 p.m.  Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Cecilia’s Roman Catholic Church, Iroquois, on Monday, April 7th, at 2 p.m., followed by cremation.  

Pallbearers were his sons Georges, Richard, Michel, Robert, Raymond and Edouard.

Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be gratefully acknowledged by the family.  Online condolences may be made at marsdenmclaughlin.com.

Roy Hansma

 

A resident of Winchester for the past 40 years, Roy Hansma passed away at Winchester District Memorial Hospital on Thursday, April 3, 2014, surrounded by his family.  He was 69.

Roy was born in Beilen, The Netherlands on October 21, 1944, to his parents Oebele & Grietje Hansma (nee Barils).  He came to Canada with his parents and brothers, Hank and Obele in 1952. 

Raised on the family farm in Toyes Hill, Roy and his brothers (who now included Garth and Toney) all  helped their dad on the farm.

On October 26th, 1963, Roy married Sharon Summers and together they had two children, Dean and Shelley.

For a short period, Roy and Sharon lived in Oshawa, where he worked for General Motors.  In 1966, they returned  with their son to Toyes Hill where they purchased a property from Roy’s parents (formerly known as the Joe Steele farm).  Here, they milked cows and raised pigs and chickens, while Roy also worked full time at Ault Foods. 

In 1967, Roy and Sharon gave Dean a little sister (Shelley). 

Roy sold the farm in 1972, and moved to Winchester, where he worked for Ted Wickers Construction Company. 

In the mid 70’s, Roy and Fred Lobb created H & L Construction, and they worked together until Roy decided to go into business on his own. He then made a career of renovations and custom homes with his son working by his side. 

Roy took great pride in his work, and as a result made many friends over the years.  

He retired at the age of 66.  

Roy and Sharon, with his brother Garth and wife Ginette were able to travel back to his birthplace of Beilen, where he hadn’t been since coming to Canada.  

Being able  to go back to his birthplace and visit his relatives was very special to him.  He visited several countries in Europe and when he came home, he said it was a trip of a lifetime.

Roy was a very social person with outstanding people skills which netted him a great number of friends.  

He was a Volunteer Fireman with the Winchester Fire Department for 30 years and also a member of the Lions Club.  Roy loved sports and played many, his favourites being baseball, bowling and darts.  When he wasn’t playing himself, he enjoyed watching almost any sport on television, especially hockey, baseball and curling.

Roy’s love of the outdoors took him snowmobiling and four-wheeling, moose hunting with his friends in Ignace and deer hunting with buddies in Dacre.  

Fishing took him to the Bay of Quinte where he enjoyed hours of fishing, so much so that he purchased a cottage for his family and friends to enjoy over the next several years.

Roy loved his family and friends.  He was always there if they needed his help or advice and was always ready to lend a hand.  He was hard-working, honest and loyal.

Roy was a devoted husband to his wife of 50 years, Sharon.  He was a loving father to  his son Dean (Marilyn) of Heckston, and his daughter Shelley Beaudry (Tim Barkley and daughters Brooke & Morgan) and a loving and proud grandfather and Poppy to Chase and Ty Beaudry, all of Winchester.  He was pre-deceased by his brother, Toney.

His friends called at the Marsden & McLaughlin Funeral Home in Williamsburg, on Monday, April 7th, and attended the funeral service on Tuesday, April 8th at 11 a.m., with Rev. Christine Lowson officiating.

Pallbearers were son Dean, daughter Shelley and grandsons Chase and Ty.

Joan Margaret Dennison

 

Joan Margaret Dennison passed away peacefully with family at her side on Thursday, March 20, 2014, at Woodland Villa, Long Sault. She was in her 94th year.

Joan lived a long and very productive life met with many challenges. She was born on August 15, 1920, in Scarborough, England, to her parents Annie and Charles Hanwell.  

She grew up in Britain during World War 2, and was a teacher there.  Many times she would teach during the day and help with the children and adults in the air raid shelters at night. 

Her sister, Zena Hanwell met and married Canadian soldier, Bryce Swerdfeger and together they moved to Canada, to the Ingleside area. In 1947, Joan and her parents immigrated to Canada to be near Zena and her growing family. They settled in Aultsville, until the Seaway was developed, and they moved to Morrisburg.  

Joan met and married a dairy farmer, Cecil Dennison in 1949, and started learning the ways of farming and living in the country.

Joan and Cecil started a family, just mere miles from her sister and her family. They lived in the rural Colquhoun area and raised four children of their own, Cheryl, Linda, Neil and Dale.

In 1964, tragedy struck the family when Zena and Bryce Swerdfeger and their 15 year old son, Garth were killed in a car accident. Their remaining two children, Lynn (Dillabough) and Lester Swerdfeger were openly welcomed into the hearts and souls of the Dennison household and were raised with the other four children. 

Joan’s parents soon lived on the farm in a trailer with them, and she also looked after them in their ailing years. Her father Charles Hanwell passed away from cancer, and her mother Annie Hanwell passed away at the age of 91.  

Joan also looked after her father-in-law who was bedridden for an extended period of time while the children were small.

Joan learned the routine of farming and helped out with the haying season and driving tractors as needed.. 

Joan and Cecil were very dedicated to their church and community and very involved with several activities, including UCW, and church stewardship roles. No matter how busy they were always supportive of needs in the community and would always help neighbours in need. 

Joan taught 4-H for years, and taught her daughters to knit, sew, do crafts and be good homemakers.

She and Cecil passed on the gift of compassion, and how to carry on with grace in the face of adversity to all their children..  

Joan believed in keeping active and learning new things.She decided at the age of 80 to learn how to use computers and also how to paint. She became a very skilled painter doing oils and watercolours and designing her own pictures and Christmas cards which the family will forever treasure. Unfortunately failing eyesight brought this to an end. 

Joan was predeceased by her parents, Annie and Charles Hanwell; her sister, Zena and Bryce Swerdfeger and their son, Garth (1964), by her husband, Cecil (1994) and her son, Neil (2008).  

After Cecil’s death, Joan moved to Williamsburg Seniors Villa where she lived and was very happy for 18 years. She lived at the Hartford Retirement Home in Morrisburg for 1.5 years and spent the last two years at Woodland Villa Nursing Home in Long Sault where she peacefully passed away.  The care and compassion she received there was wonderful and she was happy.

Joan leaves behind her remaining children:  Lester Swerdfeger and family of Ottawa, Cheryl Neild and family of Napanee, Linda of Hamilton, Lynn Dillabough and family of Iroquois, and Dale of Cornwall.

Her funeral was held March 22, 2014, with plans for a spring interment in Colquhoun Cemetery.  Donations were given to Woodland Villa and charities of choice. 

May she rest in well deserved peace.

Ethelwyn Carkner

 

Peacefully in the excellent care of Carleton Lodge on February 19th, Ethelwyn Gladys (Barrie) Carkner, born in Cabri, Saskatchewan, in 1918, to Bert Barrie and Ethelwyn Owen Barrie. 

Ethelwyn grew up in Chesterville, where in 1939, she married the love of her life, Austin (d. 2000).

Ethelwyn was the loving and supportive mom to Anne Barkley (Ralph) of Williamsburg; Connie Barton (Phillip) of Brockville; Helen (Bernard Léveillé) of Gibsons BC; Arthur (Janet) of Ottawa and John (Lori) of Arnprior.

Beloved  sister of Isobel Maxey of Qualicum Beach, BC; predeceased by sister Helen Argyle and brother Bobbie Barrie. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. 

An inspiration to many, Ethelwyn is remembered with fondness and trepidation by generations of students (not to mention teachers) in the Osgoode and Metcalfe areas and the former Carleton Board of Education. She was the first female vice-principal with that Board. 

Ethelwyn was dear friend to many, especially Anita Weagant and Margaret Johnstone, and her friends in the Cass Bridge and Winchester areas. 

She was a lifelong volunteer, with the Sunshine Circle at Winchester District Memorial Hospital, which she helped to found and with Dundas County Community Living. She was also a Lifetime Provincial Hospital Auxiliary member. 

Ethelwyn was known as a tomboy in her youth, swimming and playing hockey among other sports, and she also loved to garden. 

Donations in her honour may be made to the Winchester Hospital Auxiliary – or her memory may be honoured simply by doing something that would make your mother proud. 

Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Chesterville, on Friday from 3-6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until time of the funeral service at 11 a.m. The service was conducted by Pastor Bud McKibbon. Spring interment will be at the Ormond Protestant Cemetery.

Arlie H. Locke

 

A longtime resident of Morrisburg, Arlie Locke passed away suddenly at home on Friday, February 28, 2014. He was in his 74th year. 

Arlie Herbert Locke, son of Arlie P. and Laura (Van Allen) Locke was born June 25, 1940. 

Arlie grew up in Mariatown, with his siblings. In 1958, his parents started the restaurant which in 1967, grew to accommodate  what is now Arlor Haven Campground. 

Arlie spent many hours as a youth with his friends skating in the winter, playing hockey on the St. Lawrence River, attending the local fair with .05 cents in his pocket for the day. 

A favorite pastime was to play a Monopoly. He and friends would play all day, leave the game and break for sleep. Then pick it back up again the next day. He attended the Mariatown one room school house, then on to the Morrisburg High School.

Arlie went on to higher education with the goal of becoming a teacher. While at teacher’s college, he met some lifelong friends as well as his true love – Brenda.

Although at the time each had significant others – God knew the plans He had for them – plans for a hope and a future! Before graduation they were dating and plans were under way for a summer wedding. With family and friends present on August  12, 1961, Arlie married the love of his life. And their love story began. 

Over the 52 plus years they have been married, many dear people have called their home their own. From family and friends, to sponsoring a couple from a refugee camp, and eight foster children. 

In 1974, Arlie and Brenda built their dream home with help from their eldest son and Brenda’s family.  Arlie had spent two years designing the home, even making a cardboard model so Brenda could get a clear visual of the layout.

In 1981 his mother asked if he would move back to Morrisburg to help run the Arlor Haven Campground full time. So after many weekend moving trips the move was final. 

Arlie continued to teach in Ottawa, commuting each day,  and at a ripe ‘old age’ he decided to switch careers and turn his hands to his passion – carpentry. Arlie loved building projects. He would lay awake at night pondering ideas, planning additions.

Then after many years of construction work, Arlie again decided to switch careers. Now the choice was Financial Planning.  He spent many long hours on his new career, traveled to many new places and made many great friends along the way.

Arlie was a proud member of Morrisburg Pentecostal Tabernacle. He served as a board member for many years, and was always willing to lend a helping hand. If an opening for an adult teacher was needed he gladly offered himself.   When the church decided it was time to expand, Arlie was head of the construction team. Some of his handiwork will remain for years to come within the walls of the church. 

Arlie was also an extraordinary godly example of what a husband, father, friend and Christian should be. He always did his best to help those who crossed his path however he could. One friend was moving back to Newfoundland and needed another driver.  Arlie was on board to help drive there and back. We all look forward to the day when we will meet again!

Arlie loved life and the people in his life. He had a great sense of humour and has been known to pull a prank or two! Anyone on the receiving end of one of his pranks knew it was one way he was expressing his love for that person. 

Arlie is survived by his loving wife Brenda (Benton), and by his children Arlie (Carol) Locke of Morrisburg, Rose (Tom) Wickwire of Brinston and Cory (Erika) Locke of Toronto.

He will be sadly missed by his grandchildren Amanda, Jonathan, Melissa, Amelia, Daniel, Camille, Benjamin, Leah and Kayla; by two great-grandchildren McKale and Tara-Lynn, and by his foster children Lucy (Mike) Douma, Blanche Marcolais and Kevin and Chantal Whelan. 

Arlie was dear brother of Charlie Arthur Locke of Brockville, Harry (Sue) Locke of Florida, Jennet (Jack) Leslie of Bayfield, Ida Hart of BC and Charlie (Shirley) Perkins of Iroquois. He will be fondly remembered by his and sister-in-law Wylda Locke of Ingleside, and by many nieces and nephews.  

He was predeceased by his parents Arlie P. Locke and Laura Van Allen; sisters Lillian (Percy) Bonneville, Eva (Norm) Dunn, Greta (Norville) Horan; brother Harvey Locke; sister-in-law Betty Locke and brother-in-law Archie Hart. 

The funeral service was held on Friday, March 7, 2014 at 11 a.m. with Pastor James Tripp, assisted by Pastor Duncan Perry, officiating.  Pastor Lorna Casselman and the Benton family blessed those in attendance with inspiring music.

Spring interment will be at Spruce Haven Cemetery, Brinston. 

Memorial donations to the Morrisburg Pentecostal Tabernacle will be gratefully acknowledged by the family. 

Parker Funeral Home in Morrisburg, was entrusted with arrangements.  Condolences may be made at www.parkerofmorrisburg.com

Johanna Anna Byvelds

 

Johanna “Anna” Byvelds  passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 13, 2014, at Woodland Villa Nursing Home in Long Sault where she had been a resident for the past 12.5 months. She was in her 93rd year.

Anna was born in Erp, Netherlands, on July 22, 1921, to her parents Gerard and Petronella Pepers (nee Cleerdin). She was the sixth child out of three brothers and seven sisters.

Anna married Albert Byvelds when she was 27, and shortly after they started a family with three sons.  In 1953, Anna made a difficult decision to leave her entire family behind and move with Albert to Canada. She was not able to speak or write one word of English.  

Anna and Albert lived with Albert’s family in Boucks Hill for a year and then purchased a farm east of Brinston. It was at the farm that their daughter was born. It was the farm, that Anna would call home for 55 years.

Anna worked very hard along with Albert on the farm. She had many tasks: barn chores, feeding calves and cats, keeping the milking equipment clean. Whatever was needed, she got done.

Anna loved flowers and she had them inside and out.  She was always very proud of her flower bed.

She loved company, and always had time for coffee and cookies.  Sundays were special as they included church service followed by breakfast afterwards in Morrisburg or Cardinal.  Then it was home for a quick nap, before a drive through the countryside to enjoy the scenery, an ice cream cone, shopping or just to drop in on a friend or relative.

For many years, Anna was a member of the Catholic Women’s League and Matilda Helping.

As her health declined, Anna moved to the Hartford Retirement Home in Morrisburg, where she lived for 3.5years before moving to Woodland Villa Nursing Home.

Anna was a devoted loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  

She is survived by her children Peter (Faye) of Brinston, John (Joanie) of Oshawa, Jerry (Wendy) of Brinston and Joanne (Wayne) McGill of Lunenburg.

She will be fondly remembered by her two sisters Jans Linders and Paula v.d. Velden both of Netherlands; by her grandchildren Peter, Chris, Lori, Jason, Allison, Trent, Benjamin and Scott; and by eight great-grandchildren. 

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. 

Anna was predeceased by her parents Gerard and Petronella Pepers, her husband Albert and her siblings Johan, Miet, Stien, Jan, Jaan, Dora, Antoon and Martina.

Relatives and friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Williamsburg, on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.  Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Morrisburg, on Monday, March 17th, at 11 a.m. with Father Chisholm officiating.
