KEDDIE
graduated as a nurse from the Montreal General Hospital and joined
the Canadian Army as an operating room nurse in 1939. She served
from 1939-1945 following the troops through Europe. She met Robbie
in Italy and they were married in the town hall of Brussels,
Belgium on April 10, 1945. While raising her three daughters
she was active in her community. In Winnipeg this included the
Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Deer Lodge Veterans Hospital, the
Children's Hospital Book Market and working in the canteen in
her local community centre. In Toronto she worked in the gift
shop of the North York General Hospital and has been a generous
donor to the foundation. In White Rock she worked at the Peace
Arch Hospital's Superfluidy Shop. She belonged to and worked
with a hospital guild in every city she lived in and remained
a member of the Royal Canadian Military Institute until her death.
She was an active member of the Nursing Sisters Association of
Canada, contributing in many ways over the years. Her hobbies
included baking for her family, Friends and charities, travelling,
gardening and corresponding with old Friends. Tracy had a real
love of life, with a wry sense of humour and a smile that could
win anyone's heart. It was such a pleasure to share time with
her; she will be sadly missed by family and Friends. Cremation
has taken place. A Memorial Service will be held and details
will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations
may be made to: Ghurka Benevolent Fund or the Heart and Stroke
Foundation or a charity of your choice.
