BERRY,
Virginia
Gingerick M.A., PhD., D.Litt., Member of the
Order of Canada
Died in Victoria, British Columbia on Saturday, March 22. Born
in 1915 in North Manchester, Indiana to Fred and Julia
GINGERICK,
Virginia did her B.A. at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts.,
and took her M.A. (1938) and PhD (1941) in Medieval Studies at
the University of Chicago. After teaching at Stephens College,
Columbia, Missouri, Virginia moved to Winnipeg in 1943 on her
marriage to Edmund
BERRY of the Classics Department of the University
of Manitoba. She taught at Saint John's College (1943-44), from
which she received an Honorary Fellowship in 1986. While raising
her two daughters, Virginia began a lifelong involvement in the
Winnipeg Art Gallery. She was an early member and later President
of the Women's Committee, a member of the Building Committee
for the new Gallery, and a Board member for many years, including
a term as Vice- President. In 1986 she was made a Member of the
Order of Canada for her work in the arts community. She was awarded
an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Winnipeg
in 1987. As Guest Curator at the Winnipeg Art Gallery she wrote
two book-length exhibition catalogues, A Boundless Horizon and
Vistas of Promise, on the history of Manitoba art. This year
she completed a manuscript on the role of women in Manitoba art,
1880 to 1920. In the fifties, Virginia sat on the Boards of Balmoral
Hall School and the Middlechurch Home. She was a member of the
Altar Guild of All Saints Anglican Church for more than 50 years.
Virginia loved historical research, antiques, art and travel.
She and Edmund travelled often to England, spent part of each
winter with Friends in Spain, and more recently wintered in Victoria.
She was slow to criticize and quick to encourage. Her quiet strength
and warm support endeared her to many. She will be remembered

'She wore a smile all the time'
A nursing 'hero' cared for severe acute respiratory syndrome
victims, became one herself and died not knowing the fate of
her husband
By Allison
LAWLOR
Saturday,
July 26, 2003 - Page F10
'I don't think she worried about it," Michael
TANG says of his
mother. "She was very invincible."
But Tecla LIN knew the risks far better than most people. She
was among the first to volunteer when West Park Healthcare Centre,
where she was a part-time nurse, set up a special unit to treat
Toronto health-care workers stricken in the city's initial outbreak
of sudden acute respiratory syndrome.
It was dangerous duty, but she knew what to watch for -- especially
the high fever so closely associated with the mysterious disease.
So, whenever she went to sleep, a thermometer could be found
with the face creams and makeup on her bedside table.
Then, on April 4, she realized she had sudden acute respiratory
syndrome symptoms and immediately checked herself into Sunnybrook
and Women's College Health Sciences Centre.
"We didn't think much of it the first week or so," recalls Mr.
TANG, 32. "We remained optimistic."
But Ms. LIN's health started to deteriorate and soon she required
an oxygen mask. For three months she remained in hospital, and
"it got harder and harder for her to breathe," her son says.
Last month she was transferred to the William Osler Health Centre
in Etobicoke, where she died last Saturday morning at the age
of 58.
She probably knew the end was near. What she didn't know was
that Chi Sui
LIN, the husband she had infected, had passed away
just three weeks after she went into Sunnybrook.
Mr. TANG says he and his brother Wilson decided to keep their
stepfather's death from their mother, feeling she needed all
her strength to fight her own illness.
Born on December 18, 1944, in Hong Kong, Tecla Lai Yin
WONG was
the eldest of four children. Her father died while she was still
young, and she became largely responsible for supporting the
family.
"There was a great deal of obligation to help the family and
to help others," Mr.
TANG says.
After graduating from the Government School of Nursing, she began
her career in Kowloon, Hong Kong, in 1968, spending five years
as an operating-room nurse at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
In June, 1968, she married Augustine
TANG, the father of Wilson
and Michael. Five years later, the couple (who divorced in the
mid-1980s) brought their family to Canada, settling in Toronto
and opening a Chinese restaurant.
Ms. LIN worked in the struggling restaurant with her husband
but in 1977 landed a job at the Doctors Hospital, where she worked
there for more than 20 years. In that time, she became a specialist
in dealing with high-maintenance patients. She also went back
to school, to earn her nursing degree from Ryerson University
and to complete a certificate in critical-care nursing.
She started to work part-time at West Park Healthcare Centre
in October, 1999, mainly in the rehabilitation centre's respiratory-services
unit. She also worked part-time at the Toronto Rehabilitation
Institute, often on the night shift.
By working at night, she could spend the day doing the other
things that she enjoyed. She regularly went to the Chinese Community
Centre of Ontario in downtown Toronto with Mr.
LIN, whom she
had married after her divorce from Mr.
TANG in the mid-1980s.
"They were very devoted to each other," says Donald
CHEN, president
of the community centre, where Ms.
LIN became an executive director.
"The two of them would come in together and enjoy the company
of others."
Almost 20 years his wife's senior, Mr.
LIN had lived in Taiwan
before coming to Canada. He served in the air force, Mr.
CHEN
said, and went on to become a teacher and then the head of an
elementary school.
"We called him 'Principal,' " he said.
Mr. LIN was in his mid-70s when he died, and had long been retired.
His own children live in Taiwan, according to Mr.
TANG, who says
he was not close to his stepfather.
At the centre, Ms.
LIN organized such activities for the women
as tai chi, gardening and dancing. But she also had a passion
for mahjong, the popular Chinese tile game, often taking on some
of the seniors at the centre.
"She could play all night," Mr.
TANG said.
Friendly and outgoing, "she wore a smile all the time," Mr.
CHEN
says. "She was very sweet and very friendly," enjoyed the company
of others, and treated people at the centre as "sisters and mothers."
Mr. TANG agrees, saying: "She liked to chat."
She also liked to help. In March, she traded her part-time duties
in West Park's respiratory services for a full-time job in the
new sudden acute respiratory syndrome unit. Fourteen staff members
from Scarborough Hospital (Grace Division), the initial sudden
acute respiratory syndrome epicentre, had been infected and transferred
to the ward for treatment.
The caregivers managed to fight off the infection until last
month, when June, Nelia
LAROZA, 51, of North York General Hospital,
became the first nurse to die. Ms.
LIN was the second. Her death
brought the sudden acute respiratory syndrome fatalities in Canada
to 41, all in Ontario.
Colleagues at West Park Healthcare Centre are in mourning. Last
weekend, the hospital lowered its flag to half-mast, and later
issued a statement saying that Ms.
LIN, "like everyone else who
had worked to contain sudden acute respiratory syndrome and care
for patients under stressful and extreme circumstances, was considered
a hero."
Barbara WAHL, president of the Ontario Nurses' Association, says
that "I certainly heard outstanding things about her nursing
care. She was totally dedicated."
Her death, Ms.
WAHL adds, "is a terrible blow to her colleagues,"
and to her profession.
Those co-workers remember her compassion and generosity.
"Tecla provided a unique mix of skilled nursing and unwavering
compassion for her patients and fellow staff members," the statement
says. "Popular, hard working and beloved by many, she would even
sometimes bring lunch for her colleagues."
She was also, her son says, "known for her resilience and strength."
Even while confined to her hospital bed, she was trying to plan
a wedding -- Wilson, 34, is to be married in September. "She
was really looking forward to it," brother Michael says.
A private funeral service for family, Friends and invited guests
will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Hong Kong Funeral Home,
located at 8088 Yonge Street, in Thornhill, Ontario
The public will be received at the funeral home tomorrow from
2 to 6 p.m. and Monday from 5 to 9 p.m.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3, the Chinese Community Centre, located
at 84 Augusta Ave., will conduct a special memorial service for
Mr. and Ms.
LIN, who leaves her mother, a sister and two brothers
in Hong Kong, as well as her sons.
Ms. LIN was an animal lover with two cats. Her family asks that
memorial donations be sent to the Toronto Humane Society.

Willard Adrian
JACKSON
By Andrew LINDELL,
Donna
MORRISON Friday,
March 7, 2003 - Page
A18
Engineer, adventurer, grandfather. Born July 19, 1912, in Sudbury,
Ontario Died February 8, in Toronto, of congestive heart failure,
aged 90.
Willard Adrian
JACKSON was cremated in a pine box, with no funeral,
arrangements you might think were for a man without family or
Friends. Yet, Willard was one of most loved men I've ever known,
deeply loved by his wife of 68 years, three daughters, eight
grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
Born the son of a funeral director, he did not believe in excess
or unnecessary extravagances and rituals, including funerals.
He called cars "necessary evils" and did not pretend to understand
the generation controlled by computers. His strong attitudes
were often offensively opinionated and even politically incorrect.
Still, what most warmed to in him was his belief in the simple
joys of life: family, love, and good old-fashioned hard work.
Willard lived a good life and a long one -- one longer than you
might expect after a life of work-related injuries and mishaps.
A plane crash in 1954 during Hurricane Hazel left him with a
torn ear, crushed left forearm and broken neck (he broke it twice
in his lifetime; his back once, in another incident), that put
him in a plaster cast from head to waist for six months. The
doctors told him he would likely be paralyzed. Helped by his
wife Jane by playing Scrabble for hours, forced to pick up the
tiny letter pieces with his mangled hand, he fully recovered.
A graduate of Queen's University science class of 1939, as a
civil engineer, Willard began his career working in the underground
mines, first with Inco and then at Falconbridge, both in Sudbury.
In 1940, he tried to join the war effort overseas, but wasn't
accepted because, as an engineer, he was needed in his own country
to help build airstrips in Goose Bay, Labrador. After the war,
he worked at Canadian Pacific Railway in Sudbury for five years.
He joined Clarke Steamship Co. of Montreal in the construction
department and was later lured to join Caswell Construction where
he helped build Highway 401. He left to set up his own business
in Toronto, Consul Consultants, where, as crane specialist, he
travelled all over North America investigating large construction
and mining accidents for insurance companies.
Willard was a master storyteller, and loved to tell tales of
his adventures hunting, building or travelling. He once had to
eat raw porcupine after his food and dry-match supply ran out
on a moose-hunting trip. He had a special place in his heart
for Canada's Arctic, where in 1978 he befriended many of the
local residents at his (now late) grand_son's wedding to (now)
federal Member of Parliament for Nunavut, Nancy
KARETAK-
LINDELL.
A week before Willard died, he was paid a visit by his longtime
friend from Iqaluit, Abraham. It was one of the final highlights
of his life.
My grandfather was an extraordinary male role model for seven
boys growing up in divorced marriages. He taught us to work hard
at everything we do. When we were teenagers, he had us blasting
rocks and felling trees to build roads at his farm in Lafontaine,
Ontario He was always our biggest fan, praising our accomplishments
and encouraging us to take risks into fields that filled our
hearts, not necessarily our wallets.
When he turned 90 last July, it became obvious that Willard himself
thought he was done. Living became a necessary evil. He became
crippled with arthritis and his breathing became very laboured.
In November, he called the entire family together for Christmas
day, knowing -- he told us -- it would be his last. With my video
camera rolling, I asked him what advice he could pass on. "Be
true to your values, " he said.
Andrew is Willard's grand_son. Andrew and his fiancée Donna collaborated
on this essay.

Emily (Ma)
LINDOKKEN
By John RICHTHAMMER,
Tuesday,
December 2, 2003 - Page A24
Nurse, grandmother, leader, merchant. Born August 9, 1910, in
McTavish, Manitoba Died April 2, 2003, in Winnipeg, after a stroke,
aged 92.
After more than 71 consecutive years in Northwestern Ontario,
Jeanette "Ma"
LINDOKKEN returned to her childhood home of Winnipeg
to be near her family. Within a week of her arrival, Jeanette's
hip shattered. Undaunted, she started therapy for recovery --
which was ultimately not to be.
Jeanette's prairie roots were deep. She was born in a southern
Manitoba hamlet to a family who began homesteading there in 1876.
Although she idolized her father James for his gentleness, the
home was ruled by her distant, undemonstrative mother, Sarah
Annie WESTGATE.
Even in old age, Jeanette fondly spoke of her
younger sister, Ethel, who had died from juvenile diabetes in
Jeanette finished high school in Petersfield, Manitoba, where
the family had moved to farm, and at the outset of the Depression,
enrolled in a three-year nursing program. Then she took nursing
jobs in Winnipeg, and in a tuberculosis sanatorium in Saskatchewan.
In 1932, at 21, Jeanette travelled by canoe to return an infant
to a remote Anishinaape community in Northwestern Ontario. En
route, she washed diapers in the lakes and cooked over open fires.
The experience forever changed Jeanette's life and began seven
decades of Friendship and work with First Nations people.
In the Northern Ontario community of Deer Lake, Jeanette met
a Norwegian-born trapper and prospector Oskar
LINDOKKEN.
The
Beaver magazine described him as "a figure who might have stepped
out of... the stirring days of beaver hats, freight canoes and
singing voyageurs." He became her rugged partner-in-life for
the next 47 years.
They married in 1933 in Winnipeg, and then returned to Deer Lake
to build a log home. Their meals were fish, moose, rabbit, and
bannock. Jeanette fished, trapped, hunted, and made campfires,
as well as cooked, sewed and made clothing, often from hide she
skinned and stretched. Despite her small, lithe frame, she often
carried heavy loads.
Jeanette used her nursing skills in every aspect of health care,
from tuberculosis treatment to midwifery to palliative care.
She nursed several generations of families, saved lives, and
also treated injured animals, which she fed with baby bottles.
Assuming charge of a situation, Jeanette often tread on toes.
But if she had a reputation for bossiness and brutal honesty,
everyone knew it stemmed from her caring intensely about others'
welfare. She was known as "Ma." Her defence of the underdog was
the stuff of local legend. In honour of her 50 years of nursing
there, the Deer Lake community nursing station was named after
Jeanette, and the Ontario government presented her with a medal
of service.
The LINDOKKENs also operated a general trading post, tourist
camp, and commercial fishing and flying enterprises. Oskar was
the garrulous, savvy front man, while Jeanette, a natural manager,
did everything else. Their store was a community gathering place.
Deeply religious, Jeanette laughingly described herself as "probably
the only Scottish Presbyterian Mennonite in the world." Her unshakeable
faith guided her through tragedies such as the death of her only
child, Jimmy, in an aircraft crash nearly 40 years ago, the death
of her beloved Oskar, and her own oncoming blindness. Despite
these hardships, the tiny-framed woman who withstood every rigour
of the remote North remained indomitable and engaged to the end.
John RICHTHAMMER was considered an adopted grand_son by Jeanette.

He was a daredevil footballer in the days of leather helmets
By Tom HAWTHORN
Special to The Globe and Mail Friday, May 9,
2003 - Page R11
Norris LINDSAY, a teammate of Ormond
BEACH and Bummer
STIRLING
on the storied Sarnia Imperials football team, has died in Petrolia,
Ontario He was 94.
At 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, he was a big man in the era of leather
helmets and earned a reputation for his flying tackles, a daredevil
play that has long since fallen out of favour. In lieu of salary
as a two-way player, Mr.
LINDSAY and his teammates were guaranteed
jobs with Canadian Oil Companies Ltd.
Mr. LINDSAY helped the Imperials win the Ontario Rugby Football
Union champioship in 1933 and 1934 over Balmy Beach, St. Michael's
College and the Hamilton Tigers.
In 1933, the Imperials played host to the 1933 Grey Cup championship
against the Toronto Argonauts. Despite his regular-season contributions,
coach Pat OUELLETTE did not have Mr.
LINDSAY suit up for the
big game, which was won 4-3 by Toronto in the lowest-scoring
Grey Cup ever played.
Mr. LINDSAY was frustrated again the following year, when coach
Art MASSUCCI did not place him on the Imperials' roster for the
Grey Cup final. Sarnia defeated the Regina Roughriders 20-12
at Toronto. Among Mr.
LINDSAY's teammates wearing the three-starred
sweater of the Imperials were Mr.
BEACH, a sensational halfback
kicker Hugh (Bummer)
STIRLING of Saint Thomas, Ontario; rugged
snapper Boob
MOLLOY; and, the speedy Norm
PERRY, known as The
Galloping Ghost.
Mr. LINDSAY, who was born in Tupperville, Ontario, near Chatham
in southwestern Ontario, was also a gifted golfer who entered
the 1940 Canadian Open. "He told me his first shot went out of
bounds, said Pat
SUTHERLAND, a friend. "By the time he was
done, he had shot an 11 on the first hole."
Mr. LINDSAY, an amateur, shot an embarrassing 93 on the par-71
course, following with a 90. The tournament was won in a playoff
by the legendary American golfer Sam
SNEAD.
Shortly after, Mr.
LINDSAY joined the merchant marine and was a radio operator during
the Second World War. In peacetime, he took over the Blue Bay
Lodge near Huntsville, Ontario, which he operated until 1963.
Mr. LINDSAY golfed until late in life. When his local club opened
a new clubhouse, he rented the old one and made it his home.
He died on March 11 at the Lambton Meadowview Villa in Petrolia,
10 days after marking his 94th birthday. He was predeceased by
his wife, Bette, who died in 1965.

CONIBEAR
By Marilyn
CONIBEAR
Tuesday,
March 11, 2003 - Page A16
Canadian pioneer, scholar, writer, teacher, builder. Born August
29, 1907, in Orville, Ontario Died October 4, 2002, in Vancouver,
of natural causes, aged 95.
During Ken's "retirement" years, he built, stone by stone, the
"Great Wall" of Vancouver on the waterfront behind his home near
Jericho Beach. This wall, an unofficial Vancouver landmark, intrigued
visitors from around the world who brought or sent stones to
be embedded in individual concrete plaques within the wall. From
that wall, he invited thousands of visitors to come into his
home to share stories and rest a while.
Ken was a man distinguished by intellectual discipline, a love
of the language, a respect for all people and the outdoors, as
well as personal qualities of patience, kindness, and gentle
humour.
His formative years were spent near Fort Resolution on the shores
of Great Slave Lake and
at Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.
He later intrigued his family with tales from as early as 1912,
when he remembered vividly taking the train with his mother and
four older siblings from Parry Sound, Ontario, to Edmonton, and
then taking the last stagecoach from Edmonton to Athabasca Landing.
From there they travelled by freight barge along the river and
lake systems until they reached their new home, a log cabin at
Nagel Snye on Great Slave Lake.
After spending a few years in Fort Resolution, they moved to
Fort Smith where his father continued his work as a marine engineer
for the Catholic mission on Great Slave Lake and his mother became
a respected and successful storekeeper and fur trader.
Ken had little formal education until he went to Edmonton for
Grades 11 and 12. He then entered the University of Alberta,
and in 1931 won the Alberta Rhodes Scholarship. After completing
his English studies at Oxford, he became a writer of Canadian
fiction, and had his first of five novels published in 1936 (Northland
Footprints)and the last in 2000.
In 1937, Ken was hired by his publisher, Lovat
DICKSON/DIXON, to manage
Grey OWL's last lecture tour in England. Following the tour,
Grey OWL was the best man at Ken's wedding. On the way to the
wedding, Lovat
DICKSON/DIXON drove the car while Grey
OWL and Ken sat
in the back seat. Grey
OWL threw his arm around Ken's shoulder
and said, "Just treat the little lady right, Ken, just treat
the little lady right!"
At that point Ken had no idea that Grey
OWL was not only not
an Indian, but that Grey
OWL had five wives and therefore was
not exactly qualified to give Ken advice on how to treat his
new wife.
Ken returned to the north he loved so much to continue writing
about the north and its people and animals, and try to establish
a freight business on Great Slave Lake.
He spent several years in the Canadian Navy during the Second
World War, had a brief career as executive secretary of the British
Columbia Hospitals Association. He was then hired, in 1965, by
the newly created Simon Fraser University, at an age, he said,
when most people want to retire but when he got the job that
he dearly loved.
When he retired from Simon Fraser University (twice) at the ages
of 65 and 70, he persuaded the university not to give him a silver
tray as a retirement gift, but instead a hand-powered cement
mixer. Ken continued his relationship with Simon Fraser University
by helping to establish the Simon Fraser University seniors'
program and the seniors' Opsimath club until he reached the age
of 90 years.
Ken was predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Barbara (née
LINKE,)
and his son, Peter. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn
(ERNEST,)
his son John, grandchildren Donald, Tina and Kathy, and six great-grandchildren.
Marilyn CONIBEAR is Kenneth's wife.

Daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother. Born March
30, 1939, in Port Arthur, Ontario Died March 11, 2003, in Delray
Beach, Florida, of ovarian cancer, aged 63.
The youngest of two girls, Sue was born to Robert and Laura
PRETTIE,
a high-profile couple who had moved to Port Arthur, Ontario,
to start Northern Wood Preservers Ltd. Sue's strong will and
innate sense of fairness were rewarded with her many Friends.
Sue would cause trouble if she thought the system was not fair
for all. She carried this attitude to boarding school in Toronto
where she let it be known that she disagreed with the many rules
imposed by the strict girls' school.
After graduating from Havergal College, Sue headed to Vancouver
to attend the University of British Columbia. On her second day
on campus, Sue met Bill
CRERAR at a "registration mixer." Bill
said he was quick to "latch onto her and take her off the dating
circuit." There they began the love affair that would last more
than 44 years.
The children came soon after with Kelly, Lauren, and Steve all
born within four years. Sue's philosophy was that if you were
home with one child you might as well be home with a few (this
seemed reasonable until we had our own kids). The family moved
to Berkeley, Calif., where Bill completed his M.B.A. and Sue
stayed home with the three young children and became involved
in various local charities. After graduation, the family moved
to White Plains, New York A fourth child, Andrew, was born in
One of Sue's many gifts was her ability to create a home in any
environment. We have memories of living in dust and plastic during
the many home-renovation projects and eating unidentifiable meals
prepared in the microwave aboard a travelling motor home. Mom
made it all seem like a great adventure.
Another move brought the family to Toronto in 1967 where Sue
could be closer to her sister, Audrey. She volunteered with various
non-profit organizations and also served on a number of boards,
including the Shaw Festival. In 1975, Sue persuaded a good friend,
Diane, that they should open an art gallery, and Hollander York
Gallery was founded. She showed us the importance of balancing
work and family.
Sue had a great appreciation for the written word. She relished
her moments of solitude with a book or newspaper and also had
a great talent for expressing herself on paper. When fax machines
were invented, Sue saw this new technology as an opportunity
soon all family members (including grandparents) were given fax
machines and the Family Fax Network was born. And when Sue taught
herself how to operate a Macintosh computer, all her faxes arrived
neatly typed. When e-mail was the new rage, Sue took it up with
passion and couldn't understand why everyone (including her husband!)
did not have an e-mail address.
It was as a mother that Sue had the most profound impact. Communication
with her two daughters and two sons was daily by phone, fax or
e-mail. She was always happy to hear from us and was so wise
about so many things, from relationship woes to disciplinary
issues with children.
One can never forget Sue's loud, infectious laugh. She laughed
at herself when she would tell the story of how her printer broke
down and she purchased a new printer only to discover that she
had forgotten to plug in the original computer. Human foibles,
especially her own, delighted her and she was so quick to see
the humour in any situation.
In July, 2001, Sue was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Sue never
hesitated to say to curious Friends "I am more than just a cancer
patient." She knew the end was near at Christmas 2002 and kept
this awareness private between herself and her best friend, Bill.
Lauren and Kelly are Sue's daughters.
