In loving memory of Cheryl who passed away December 19, 2004.
Every Life is Cherished The earth will never be the same again.
Rock, water, tree iron share this grief And distant stars participate
in this pain. A candle snuffed, a falling star or leaf A galaxy
once light now dark in death, So surely this particular loss
is Heaven mourned; For if no angel wept if this one was tossed
away as dross The galaxies themselves would be as lies. How shall
we sing our love songs now In this strange land where all are
born to die? Each leaf and star and all that is that once was
not Show how the universe is part of this one cry, That every
life is noted and is cherished And nothing, no one, loved is
every lost or perished. Remembered with love, Dan.

Kay TREMBLAY,
Thespian (1915-2005)
Actress who was the daughter of a clown, and herself went on
stage as an adolescent, was best known as Aunt Eliza on the television
series Road To Avonlea
By Catherine
CULLEN,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Monday, September
12, 2005, Page S11
Toronto -- Whether it was in front of soldiers in Europe during
the Second World War, before lunchtime crowds in Montreal, on
the stages of Stratford or before the film and television cameras
that brought her to a mass audience in Canada, Kay
TREMBLAY spent
almost all 90 years of her life acting.
To most Canadians she became a familiar face as Great Aunt Eliza
on the popular television series Road To Avonlea during the 1990s.
Yet Kay TREMBLAY was immersed in performance almost from her
birth in 1915 in Glasgow, Scotland. Her family toured Europe
with her father, William
McALLISTER, who performed before royalty
as a tightrope walker and the principal clown in the famous Blackpool
Circus. Kathleen
McALLISTER, as she was named at birth, would
take to the stage herself before she was even in her teens. She
spent decade after decade acting and overcame staggering personal
tragedy before she found the role on Road to Avonlea that would
win her a Gemini award, and earn her the affection from fans
that so many in the acting community had felt for her all along.
The role of Aunt Eliza was truly made for Ms.
TREMBLAY, said
Kevin SULLIVAN, executive producer of Road to Avonlea. "I had
seen her work and I was always kind of fascinated by her because
she's so ancient but she was really commanding." At the time,
his team had wanted to add an older character to the show and
built the character of Aunt Eliza specifically for her.
Ms. TREMBLAY adored the role, said Ron
BARRY, her agent for nearly
two decades. A true professional, having an amazing ability to
connect with any character, Ms.
TREMBLAY found something special
in this particular part, he said.
"I guess the role was so near and dear to her heart because she
could be a bit of a cantankerous soul too, and Aunt Eliza had
so many layers and at the centre was a softy."
Soft enough that she would "melt" when a fan approached her,
Mr. BARRY recalls, but strong enough to withstand filming in
35 degree heat in corset without a word of complaint, while the
younger actors around her withered.
"She would always say to me, 'Darling, I'm just lucky to be working,'"
he recalled.
Ms. TREMBLAY was so committed to the part that she even saved
Aunt Eliza from a near-death experience of sorts. Near the end
of the series' seven year run, the writers were looking for a
way to create some exciting new story lines, said series producer
Kevin SULLIVAN.
The idea that Aunt Eliza might be killed off was suggested, but
ultimately passed over, he said. However, word somehow got back
to Ms. TREMBLAY that her character was facing imminent death.
She arrived in Mr.
SULLIVAN's office one day and gave him one
of the hardest pitches of his career in an effort to save her
character, he recalled.
"I said, 'Don't worry Kay I'll put it aside.'"
"'But,' she said, 'I really like the idea of someone dying.'"
That conversation spawned the idea of bringing in a new character,
the elderly cousin Winifred, who appears briefly in the series
before dying. The plot line won Ms.
TREMBLAY a Gemini award in
1997 for best supporting actress. The actress who played Winifred,
Frances Bay, also won a Gemini for her part.
While the Gemini win and her role on Road to Avonlea represented
a high point in Kay
TREMBLAY's career, it came only after years
of personal hardship. She lost three loved ones in a short span
of time.
First, her sister Betty committed suicide some time after Kay
moved to Montreal to be with her Canadian husband in 1954. Next,
her husband Raoul took his life as well. Then, in 1970, the eldest
of Ms. TREMBLAY's two sons, Anthony, drowned in a boating accident.
She was devastated by the losses.
It was the focus she learned early on in life, thanks to growing
up in a family of performers, that helped Ms.
TREMBLAY to overcome
the losses, said her son Michael
TREMBLAY.
"I think she was about six when she asked, 'Daddy, how do you
do it, getting up on the high wire?'"
"He said, 'I put one foot in front of the other, I look straight
ahead and I don't look down.' I think that was the motto for
her life. My brother died. She didn't look down. My father died.
She didn't look down."
Her disposition was also shaped by the time she spent studying
and performing with the George Balanchine Ballet, before the
Second World War. She said it taught her the importance of discipline
and to always be grateful to be working, recalled Mr. Barry.
After the Second World War broke out, Kay and her sister Betty
formed a sister act and travelled around Europe entertaining
troops. One night, Kay and Betty experienced some of the terror
of war as their train arrived in the city of Coventry, England,
said Frank Blanche, a friend of Ms.
TREMBLAY's from her acting
days in Montreal. Coventry was bombed that night. The sisters
train stopped and everyone on board began to scream. "The bombs
hit everything except the train and the all-clear went and they
looked out the window and everything was flattened," Mr. Blanche
said.
However, the war also brought some happiness into Kay
TREMBLAY's
life. One night, a mutual friend introduced her to a charming
Canadian soldier by the name of Raoul
TREMBLAY. In 1954, the
pair married and moved to Montreal. They had two sons, Anthony
and Michael. While in Montreal, Ms.
TREMBLAY did everything from
musicals and television to performing in front of lunchtime crowds
at Montreal's Place Ville Marie.
It was while living in Montreal that she lost her sister, her
husband and son. Although she eventually recovered sufficiently
to return to her career, she still had another battle to win:
alcoholism.
Eventually, she became involved in such successful shows as Night
Heat, Street Legal and Wind at My Back and her career began to
take off. She also appeared in dozens of movies over the course
of her career, including the 1980 film Shadow Dancing, in which
she appeared alongside Christopher Plummer.
"She got to play a variety of old ladies from the sweet grandmotherly
type to the 'you better watch it, this is a gun-toting mama',"
her agent, Mr.
BARRY said.
Ms. TREMBLAY also enjoyed a successful stage career. Some of
her greatest achievements on stage included performing at London's
Grand Theatre under the direction of Robin Phillips in the 1983-84
season.
She played the role of an elderly courtesan in Timon of Athens
and shared the stage with Shelia McCarthy. Beginning in 1989,
she performed two seasons at Stratford.
Her energy and professionalism earned her admiration from colleagues
in film, television, and on stage. Her talent and her strength
made her truly one in a million, said Mr.
BARRY. "
You know how
the Readers Digest used to have that segment, 'My most unforgettable
character'? She would be my most unforgettable character."
Kay TREMBLAY was born in Glasgow, Scotland on January 12, 1915.
She died on August 9, 2005 in Stratford, Ontario after suffering
from Alzheimer's Disease. She was 90 years old. She is survived
by her son, Michael.

McNEILL,
Lily
Curley
It is with great sadness that the family and Friends of Lily
Curley McNEILL announce her death on July 2nd, 2005, three weeks
shy of her 81st birthday. Lily was born July 26th, 1924 in Glasgow,
Scotland, but moved with her parents, James and Jean
McNEILL,
to Barrhead as a young girl. She was predeceased by her parents,
her sister Helen and her friend of more than 40 years, Dorothy
BARRY, whom she missed dearly after Dorothy's death at this time
last year. Lily came to Canada in her early thirties and worked
for General Electric for many years until she retired early at
64 (a decision she never regretted!). She loved a good mystery,
a good laugh, wee dogs, strong cups of tea, chocolate gingers,
toasted cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, red geraniums on
the balcony in summer and, above all, the people in her life.
Lily will be missed by all who knew and loved her especially
her family: brothers James and Donald and his wife Christine,
all of Scotland, niece Jacqueline of England, as well as by her
many Friends here in Toronto particularly: Verna, Anita, Hazel,
Evelyn, Sara, Pam and the staff of the Sterling Karamar building
where she lived. Special thanks to Dr.
CRISPINO,
Dr.
JENEY, the
staff of St. Joseph's Palliative Care and Support Services, Dora,
Richard and Carol-Ann of Pharma Plus as well as the personal
support workers from Para Med who all cared for Lily so lovingly
in her last weeks. Nothing is more precious than a true friend.
(Anon) Lily was precious to us all.
