Robert
G.
P.
MacLELLAN, of Calgary, Alberta retired General Counsel
of the Husky Oil Company, died on Sunday, March 2, 2003 of pneumonia,
at Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary. He was a month short
of his 84th birthday. Born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, on April
6, 1919, Robert was the only child of Dr. Robert Gordon
MacLELLAN
and Hazel Carré, Primrose
MacLELLAN.
His father died in 1930,
and his mother in 1937. An aunt helped his widowed mother raise
him. Robert attended local schools and university in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, graduating in law from Dalhousie University, Halifax,
after World War 2. Robert enlisted in the Canadian Army in 1942
until 1946, as a Lieutenant in the British Columbia Dragoons
(the 9th Canadian Armoured Regiment), serving in Italy, Belgium
and Holland. He served as General Counsel of the Husky Oil Limited,
the parent company with its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Husky
Oil Company, and Husky Oil Canadian Operations, for 35 years,
based in Calgary, until he retired in the early l980's. Robert,
(his Friends called him 'Bob'), enjoyed the Friendship of his
colleagues at Husky Oil and after his retirement, he and others
formed a dining club, the Husky Dining Club. It still operates
at the Hospitality Inn.A bachelor, he enjoyed life at his Riverdale
Avenue bungalow, where he had a large library. A fall and a stroke
weakened him five years ago, and he entered Scottish Extendicare
on 25th Avenue South West. Due to its imminent closure, Robert
was moved to the Colonel Belcher nursing facility in February.
Robert came from a distinguished Nova Scotian family. His paternal
grandfather, for whom he and his father were named, Robert
MacLELLAN,
a distinguished educator, was Principal of Pictou Academy from
1889 to 1923. The elder
MacLELLAN helped to prepare young minds
for the challenges of the 20th century. Pictou Academy, through
its principals and graduates had strong links to Dalhousie University.
Robert's maternal grandfather was Senator Clarence
PRIMROSE,
also of Pictou. Robert is survived by several cousins, among
them, Janet Maclellan
TOOLE of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Judith
Ann (MacLELLAN)
GIBSON, of Saint John's, Newfoundland, and Ann
MacLELLAN of Amherstview, Ontario. His family is greatly indebted
to the care-giving services of 'Tip' Pornthip
WONGTHONGLUA, whose
intelligence, gentleness and devotion were always exceptional,
during his stay at Scottish, Colonel Belcher and Rockyview Hospital.
A committal service in Nova Scotia will take place in the summer.

of the Woods District Hospital on November 13th, 2003, age 91½,

March 27, 1912 to George and Eleanor

(Havergal College graduate with the Herbert Mason Gold Medal
for high character, 1931; University of Toronto B.A. 1934) and

1939. They produced 8 children and had a busy, happy 58 years
together.

Julianna's main focus in life was her large family to whom she
devoted vast amounts of time and energy. She was a patient, wonderful,
caring mother and grandmother, a whiz at accomplishing many tasks
in a calm and unflappable manner, an excellent cookie and pie
maker, and a gracious hostess. Over the years her fingers were
rarely idle as she created items for the Hospital Gift Shop or
knitted goods, especially sweaters, for her own family. She was
active in the community being a lifetime member of St. Alban's
Cathedral and St. Alban's Altar Guild. Of her many volunteer
activities she really enjoyed helping children from Kin Valley
School at their swimming classes in the (now) Lakeside Inn and
delivering Meals on Wheels with daughter Eleanor. She was a member
of the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary for many years taking a turn
as President. She enjoyed Friendships with many people including
her square dancing group and her afternoon Bridge Club with whom
she played bridge until she was 89. Truly her favourite time
of year was summertime when she loved sharing the family island
on Lake of the Woods with her ever growing and changing family.
She took great pleasure her whole life long in boat rides, picnics
and sunsets on beautiful Lake of the Woods. Julianna will long
be remembered as a kind, considerate and dear person.
Immediate cremation has taken place. A memorial service and celebration
of her life will be held at St. Alban's Cathedral, 312 Main Street
South, Kenora, on Saturday, November 22nd, 2003 at 1: 30 p.m.
A reception downstairs in the church hall will follow immediately
afterwards.
As an expression of sympathy, those who wish may make a donation
in Julianna's memory to the Lake of the Woods C.T. Scanner Fund,
21 Sylvan Street West, Kenora, Ontario P9N 3W7 or to St. Alban's
Cathedral, 312 Main Street South, Kenora, Ontario P9N 1T2, or
to a charity of one's choice.
