FREMONT,
Marilyn
Joan (née
MacKENZIE)
Of Mississauga, Ontario, formerly of Winnipeg. It is with profound
sadness that we announce Marilyn's passing in the early morning
hours of Wednesday, April 27, 2005. Marilyn, affectionately called
"Aunty MiMi" by her nieces, will be forever cherished by her
husband Chris
FREMONT, her family in Winnipeg: sister Evelyn
MACKENZIE-REID (Chuck
REID), nieces Diana
MacKENZIE, Donna
NELSON
and family, her beloved Aunt Ishbel in Scotland and long time
friend Joseph
RYAN of Mississauga. She was predeceased by her
parents Daisy and Jack
MacKENZIE,
Winnipeg.
Marilyn loved her
family, Friends, nature, all animals, music and was proud of
her Scottish heritage. Her love for nature and animals was projected
with her caring for all creatures great and small. Marilyn delighted
in her daily visits feeding and watching the antics of "her Black
squirrels", birds and other creatures. During her courageous
battle with cancer, Marilyn's concern was not for herself but
for her "Chrissy" as she so fondly called him. Marilyn reached
out her hand and touched your heart. Cancer may have taken her
away, but cherished memories will always remain. Chris and family
would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the Credit
Valley Hospital, Mississauga for the care and compassion shown
Marilyn. Marilyn requested cremation and no formal service. As
an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, donations in Marilyn's
memory may be made to the Mississauga Humane Society, 1050 Shawnmarr
Rd., Mississauga, L5H 3V1 or the Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to

Dermatologist and Clinical Professor Emeritus, University of
Western Ontario, passed away peacefully and gracefully in his
90th year on Thursday, November 10, 2005 after surgery following
a longstanding battle with Parkinson's Disease. He is survived
by the love of his life, Elizabeth
(WAUGH)
PACE and their six
children, spouses and grandchildren. They are: Anne

WARD of Orangeville with son Taylor; and Carla
PACE
and her friend Colin
WHITE/WHYTE of Vancouver. Brother-in-law to Pat
WAUGH and the late Dick
WAUGH, and much loved uncle to his many
Waugh nieces and nephews. Bill
PACE graduated from Medicine at
the University of Western Ontario in 1941 and ser ved as Squadron
Leader, Medical Services in the Royal Canadian Air Force during
the Second World War (1942-1946). During that time, he developed
a life-long passion for flying, a dream that came to fruition
after he earned his commercial pilot's license at the age of
74. Following the war, he went on to obtain his M.Sc. in Biochemistry
and then specialized in Dermatology, a field of medicine that
at the time was still in its infancy. He was passionate about
the dangers of sunlight long before it was fashionable and he
became an expert on sun-induced skin damage. Through his dedicated
efforts that include the discovery of Benzoyl Peroxide as an
effective treatment for the humiliating disease of teenage acne,
and his compassionate and tireless treatment of complex skin
ulcers, his referral practice flourished. He often became the
final arbiter for complex problems that had resisted diagnosis
and treatment. His love for his work and family was matched by
his love of the great outdoors, which he shared with his wife
and children on many occasions. As an avid canoe tripper and
naturalist, every portage and campsite became a field trip where
the beauties of nature were honoured and respected. His agile
and tireless mind was not hampered by the deafness that progressed
throughout his adult life, nor by the Parkinson's Disease that
robbed him of his physical mobility in his later years. His keen
intellect, hearty laugh and sparkling blue eyes will be remembered
as a lasting tribute to his long and productive life. Visitation
on Tuesday, November 15th from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm at James A.
Harris Funeral Home 220 St. James St. at Richmond Street, London,
Ontario where the funeral service will be conducted on Wednesday,
November 16th at 11: 00 a.m. Cremation and interment to take place
at a later date at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. In lieu of flowers
