Audrey ZIMMERMAN
Friday, February 14, 2003, Page A22
Wife, mother, civil servant, scuba diver. Born January 14, 1921,
in Halifax. Died December 7, 2002, in Toronto, of a stroke, aged
Audrey ZIMMERMAN (née
TOBIN) had God on her side. By all accounts,
it was a good deal for both of them. Audrey got the impenetrable
protection of her faith. God got a follower of infinite optimism
and deepest commitment.
She was often bothered by the sex and violence in movies and
on television -- so much so that I never knew her to even watch
a newscast. Audrey's oldest and dearest friend, retired University
of Toronto professor Margaret
DOOLAN, says she'd take special
care when picking movies to attend with Audrey. It was just part
of the protective filter that people felt they needed to build
around her.
Audrey was the second youngest in a family of seven children
and, from her earliest days, she radiated an innocence that made
people want to help and protect her. She rarely needed the assistance
but, because it seemed to make others happy, she accepted it
with grace and genuine appreciation. Throughout her life, she
maintained an innocent enthusiasm that ran to the naive. How
much of that naiveté was real and how much she put on for her
own convenience, we never figured out. In some 70 years of Friendship,
Marg DOOLAN can only recall once when Audrey seemed mad at someone
and then because that person had been rude to her husband.
Audrey left Halifax in the late 1950s. She was working in the
insurance industry and her boss was transferred to Toronto. He
asked her to come along. Shortly after arriving in Toronto, Audrey
met an active and outgoing man. Matthew
ZIMMERMAN was a widower
with three children. Audrey and Matt were married in the spring
of 1959. The marriage sent a wave of concern through her family.
How would little Audrey manage with a new husband and the instant
pressure of three kids ranging in age from 3 to 15? Very well,
as it turned out, and
in January, 1960, Audrey and Matt added
a new son, David.
The pregnancy was troubling. Audrey was diagnosed with severe
diabetes in her 20s and pregnancy, especially at that time and
at her age (then 39) was considered very risky; something that
Audrey would have never even considered.
Diabetes dogged Audrey throughout her adult life and there were
many scary incidents of adverse insulin reactions. More than
once, some member of the family would arrive home to find Audrey
unconscious on the floor, with no idea how long she'd been there
the ambulance would be called and revival procedures started.
At the end of it all, Audrey's standard response was "It's okay.
I'm fine."
There were emotional challenges too. Audrey outlived all but
one of her siblings. In 1972, her husband, Matthew, died of cancer.
A few years later, she lost a granddaughter to leukemia and,
in 1997, her step-daughter, Darlene, also died.
Audrey was small but strong. She never let her diabetes or her
age interfere with her ambitions. After Matt died, she went back
to work and was with the Ontario Ministry of Health until she
retired in the late 1980s. Audrey was an avid tennis player and
downhill skier. At the age of 60, she took up scuba diving. That
led to another close call. Once, while diving at Tobermory, Ontario,
Audrey ran out of air. She was able to signal her diving buddy
but he was so much larger than she was, she couldn't share his
regulator. Fortunately, their emergency ascent worked and Audrey
continued to dive for several more years. About the only ambition
she didn't fulfill was skydiving.
Audrey placed her life in God's hands and that was all the protection
she needed. Her son, David, often said his mother didn't have
a guardian angel, she had a team of them. And they took their
job very seriously.
Kent is a friend of Audrey's son, David.
