LEPAPE,
Lionel
Norman
Of Kelowna, British Columbia, born August 27, 1927 and raised
in Montreal, died October 26, 2003, from the complications of
a life lived and a body getting old. Lionel is pre-deceased by
his infant brother, teenage sister, parents, adult sister, only
wife, teenage grand_son, and adult daughter. Lionel lived as fun
loving a life as you can imagine for a boy in the depression
on the outskirts of Montreal and had many adventures as a young
man with Friends, cars, skiing, tennis, boating, and women. He
went on to produce a family of three children with his beloved
Terry, started his own company and worked like a dog to ensure
his wife and kids were able to play and travel the world. Lionel
spent his last few years in Kelowna close to his remaining children
and grandchildren enjoying the weather and vistas that the Okanagan
has to offer. At Lionel's personal request and insistence there
will be no organized service. For those who knew him, why not
take the time to have a private moment to visit your memories
and to say good bye to the man as you remember him.

LEPOIDEVIN,
Shirley
Died peacefully and bravely at home on Thursday, March 13, 2003.
Predeceased by her parents, Dr. Jim and Jean
ELLIOT/ELLIOTT of Quebec
City.
Shirley was so glad that her two six week old grandchildren,
Lucy and Alex, with Teresa and David, were able to come to Collingwood
from Vancouver to be with her. The twins are an absolute delight.
Shirley was also able to celebrate her 40th Wedding Anniversary
with Tom and Mark, along with sister Ann and Jack
LAIDLAW.
Ann and Jack as well as nieces Kate and Meg gave so much love
and support throughout Shirley's ordeal. It is greatly appreciated.
The numerous cards, letters, emails, phone calls, food, flowers
etc. that Shirley received were constant reminders of all her
loving Friends. Many remembered what an important role she played
in their lives. Shirley new that she had an army of angels looking
out for her over the past four months. She never stopped caring
for others and wanting to help them in any way she could.
Shirley accomplished a lot in her lifetime. Very early in her
adult life she travelled by herself around the world. She returned
to nursing, met Tom, sailed off to England, raised two wonderful
sons, went back to school to get her BscN, and then was a very
caring Homecare Co-ordinator, first at Sunnybrook, then in North
York.
In retirement, she loved life in Collingwood with many new Friends,
playing bridge, golfing, skiing, hiking, biking the list of activities
goes on and on.
Shirley, you were so strong. You will be greatly missed but we
all have incredible memories from a life so full of terrific
events, like hiking on the northern shore of Lake Superior.
There are many people to thank but particular recognition has
to be given to the Community Care Access Centre in Simcoe County,
Hospice in Collingwood, the doctors and nurses in the Cancer
Wing at Sunnybrook, Dr.
MORAN and a special, big thanks to Gil
and Angela.
A memorial service and reception will be held at the Presbyterian
Church, at the corner of Third and Maple Streets in Collingwood,
at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 21.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests a donation to Hospice
Georgian Triangle, 49 Raglan Street, Collingwood L9Y 4X1.
