BARRICK, Ishbel▼ Mary▼ (HOLMAN)
Raised in Toronto, the eldest of two, Ishbel spent many a summer at Wasaga Beach as well as winters in Collingwood. Through a chance meeting on a neighbourhood tennis court, she met Frank BARRICK, her husband-to-be. Following his air force service, Frank's career took them west to Winnipeg, Vancouver and finally they settled in Victoria where they built their own home in 1958.
Ishbel, or "Ish", her close Friends called her at times, was an avid camper, square-dancing belle, bowling champion, sewing wizard, and more. She was a sport fanatic - baseball, golf, football - but especially hockey - the Leafs could do no wrong! Ishbel was an optimist and an adventurer. There was nothing she wouldn't attempt except riding horses.
A mentor, listener and advice-giver only when asked, Ishbel was always firm but caring. Vivacious and joyful, she lived with the full colour palette and saw beauty everywhere. She was a voracious reader, geranium growing guru, crossword puzzle addict, bridge genius, homemaker extraordinaire, generous hostess and a stickler for being on time.
She cultivated Friends everywhere. She spent many happy hours at the Monterey Centre with the "ladies of the round table." But she also accumulated losses. She lost her brother, David HOLMAN, husband, Frank and many close relatives and Friends. Curious, open-minded and compassionate, Ishbel was engaged with world events and ideas until the past six months. She was born in Parkhill, Ontario, on June 30, 1919. September 14, 2005, our lives all changed with her death, but she did not depart. Ishbel still lives among us; she resides in our hearts.
Greatly missed by daughter Irene (PITT,) son Bruce (Diane,) grandchildren Bryan and Teresa PITT, and Michael BARRICK; the HOLMAN and BARRICK families of Ontario, cousins, nieces, nephews, Jody GRAINGER, Iain ROSE, Stuart PITT, many good Friends, and staff of Beacon Hill Villa.
Ishbel was an outstanding example of all that Friendship represents. Daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, Grandmother, neighbour, and mentor - the list has no end!
If so desired, donations in Ishbel's honour may be made to the Canadian Red Cross Society, 909 Fairfield Road, Victoria, British Columbia, V8V 3A3 (250) 382-2043.

John GLADSTONE, Cleric And Orator 1921-2005
Handsome, eloquent and blessed with a keen intelligence, the Baptist minister was 'a pulpit virtuoso' who cultivated a large and loyal Toronto congregation, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN, Saturday, January 22, 2005 - Page S7
A passionate soccer fan, an avid reader of spy thrillers and a man of unwavering faith, John GLADSTONE was such a compelling preacher that he drew celebrants to his Toronto pulpit from as far away as Michigan. For more than 30 years, Reverend Charles Adams of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit would conduct two services for his own congregation on Sunday mornings, drive with his wife to Toronto to hear Reverend GLADSTONE deliver his evening sermon and then get back in their car for the four-hour drive home.
Back in the early 1970s, a time of bristling racial tensions in the northern U.S., Reverend Adams was feeling burdened by the weight of his pastoral duties. He loved Toronto "as a city of high intellect and high culture" and he wanted "to be where I could be stimulated, but not called upon [as a pastor]. Chancing upon Yorkminster Park Baptist Church in mid-town Toronto, he found himself in a "gorgeous, gorgeous church and wonderful music and great, great preaching" by Reverend GLADSTONE.
Rev. Adams always sat in a back pew because he didn't want to be conspicuous, although as a black man in those white-bread days that was a slim hope. "I just wanted to receive the word and it was preached with such clarity and such classical greatness that I would go many times to fulfill my spiritual cup and recharge my batteries," he said this week. "Dr. GLADSTONE stimulated me intellectually and spiritually as a man who was morally committed to what he was doing and what he was about."
John Norris GLADSTONE was born in 1921 in London, the second of three children of a Baptist minister and his wife. He grew up in Suffolk in the east of England, playing goal in soccer and developing a life-long passion for the Arsenal football club of London. He enlisted in the Royal Air Force when the Second World War broke out, hoping to become a pilot. Because he was myopic in one eye, he failed the eyesight test and was assigned instead to the "codes-and-ciphers" detachment. That is probably how he survived the war, commented his son Peter GLADSTONE, a Toronto cardiologist, pointing out that his father had served in Iceland and was part of the Normandy landing in June, 1944, before being sent to Australia to help defend against a feared expansion of the war in Asia.
After peace came, Reverend GLADSTONE attended Manchester Baptist College. He graduated and was ordained in 1950, the same year he married Joyce AUSTIN. In the early years of their marriage and his ministry they served in churches in Caversham, Plymouth and Bromley and had their two children, Peter and Judith. Leonard GRIFFITH, long-time minister at St. Paul's Anglican Church and another legendary Toronto preacher, met Reverend GLADSTONE in 1960 when he moved to England to serve as minister in an Anglican church in the East End of London.
The two families both lived in Bromley, an awkward commute to Rev. GRIFFITH's church. One Sunday night, feeling exhausted from preaching both a morning and an evening sermon at City Temple, Rev. GRIFFITH arrived at Bromley Station, praying for a bus to take him the rest of the way home. Instead, as he told the celebrants at the memorial service for Reverend GRIFFITH on Sunday, he found "an angel on the platform, wearing a clerical collar," with a car waiting outside.
Later, Reverend GRIFFITH invited his friend to preach at a week-day noon service at City Temple. "Here was a pulpit virtuoso who approached the preaching task with the preparation and dedication of a violinist approaching a concerto," Reverend GRIFFITH said in his tribute. "His sermon gripped me because it had something to say. It was well structured, richly illustrated, appealing to my heart as well as my mind. He had obviously written a full manuscript, but there was no sign of it, because he looked directly into the faces of his congregation and preached with an eloquence that flowed from his finger tips."
The GLADSTONE family immigrated to Canada in response to a call from Yorkminster Park Baptist Church early in 1965. He served the congregation for 26 years, publishing four books of his collected sermons, contributing regularly to Moments of Meditation on CFRB radio and guest preaching in a wide variety of pulpits that included the Bill Graham Schools of Evangelism and the First Baptist Church in Washington, where he spent eight months as an interim minister after he officially retired from Yorkminster Park.
His evangelical prowess is celebrated in The John N. Gladstone Festival of Preaching at McMaster Divinity College in Hamilton, an annual professional-development event devoted to technique and sources.
Former cabinet minister Barbara MacDOUGALL, who grew up attending Sunday services in the church, described him as very caring and compassionate, but also realistic. "He understood the whole range of human emotion," she said. In commenting on his "seamless and very interesting sermons," she said Reverend GLADSTONE had an exceptional mind that he combined with a great faith and a formidable capacity to communicate. "He had a scholarly background so he was very knowledgeable and he also had a good sense of humour. I don't think any of his sermons passed without some humorous anecdote that would illustrate his point very well."
A tall, handsome man with a slight British accent, chalk-white hair and a twinkle in his eye, Reverend GLADSTONE's appearance and manner of dressing were as elegant as his speech. "We all have our vulnerabilities and maybe that was one of his, but it is not one that I regard as serious," Ms. MacDOUGALL said with a laugh. "If God gives you the gift of being good-looking, what are you waiting for?"
Anglican canon Reginald STACKHOUSE, referred to him as "one of the last pulpit giants" who not only attracted a larger attendance to his church, but held it for more than two decades. That's a considerable tribute, he said, to somebody who was preaching twice a Sunday in a time when the conventional wisdom decreed that sermons were out of date, preaching was an anachronism, and the church itself was in decline. "John GLADSTONE represented the reality, mainly that people still look for the spoken word and respond to it when it is done so well."
Rev. Adams concurred. "He was an amazing master of the English language with a very clear lyrical way of expressing himself," he said. As a preacher, Reverend GLADSTONE used examples and illustrations from literature, the Bible, current events and everyday life to make concrete connections with his congregation. "He was inspirational in his prayers," said Reverend STACKHOUSE. "He had a combination of elegant language and suppliant delivery. One did not get the impression that he was haranguing the Almighty; he was petitioning, but in a most elegant way."
Both his children considered him a "wonderful" father who loved them unconditionally. "We certainly weren't unconditionally good, but that didn't matter," said his daughter Judith MURRAY, a physiotherapist. "He had a terrific sense of humour," added his son Peter.
After 47 years of marriage, Reverend GLADSTONE's wife Joyce died in 1997, the same year he underwent a double bypass heart operation. Three years later, he suffered a couple of small strokes that affected his ability to organize his thoughts. When he found he could no longer preach extemporaneously to the high standards he had set himself, he stepped down from the pulpit and served the church in other ways.
His successor Reverend Peter HOLMES was "very gracious" about asking him to lead the congregation in prayer and to read the scripture during services, according to Ms. MURRAY. And her father was very gracious in return. "I never ask, but I always say yes," he told his daughter about Reverend HOLMES's invitations. He also devoted a lot of time to House of Compassion, an organization that serves the homeless, and to the Langham Trust, a foundation established for the education of clergy in the developing world.
His support of the Arsenal football club grew as time passed and in his retirement he devoted Saturday mornings to watching his favourite team on television. "He was an Arsenal fan to the end," said his son. "It was a big comfort to him" after his wife died, said his daughter, adding with a chuckle that her mother "wouldn't have allowed him to watch that much soccer."
Admitting that as a child it was sometimes hard to share her father with the rest of the congregation, Ms. MURRAY said that "as a kid you see that as a negative, but now I see it as a positive. My pastor said [after her father died] 'he pointed the way to heaven for a lot of people.' How could I not share somebody who was doing that?"
John Norris GLADSTONE was born in the Hammersmith area of London on October 6, 1921. He died of cancer after a long illness in Toronto on January 4. He was 83. He is survived by his son Peter and daughter Judith.

Ruth Alice HOWES
By Heather FRANCIS, Thursday, November 17, 2005, Page A24
Teacher, farmer, store keeper, gardener, baker, grandmother. Born February 17, 1901, in Winchester, Ontario Died May 17 in Winchester of natural causes, aged 104.
When Ruth died, it surprised all of us who knew her. She had survived countless surgeries and illnesses and, no matter how ill, she always got better. Her early life no doubt helped her form her strong will, willingness to make do, and love for her community.
Ruth Alice HOLMES was born on a farm just outside of Winchester, Ontario She was the seventh child of an eventual 11 to Nathaniel and Annettie HOLMES. She▼ was fortunate that her parents valued her education and arranged for her to board in Winchester after she survived rheumatoid fever and was too weak to walk the return trip to high school.
She trained as a teacher and taught for several years at the one-room schoolhouse she had attended herself, just outside Winchester. But her teaching career was interrupted when she got married in 1927, as married women were not allowed to teach at the time. She loved recounting how the school inspector tried to convince her not to marry, but she wed Gerald HOWES of a neighbouring farm.
They moved to a farm down the road from her old home and the schoolhouse and Ruth began her second career as a farm wife and mother. Her children, Joyce and Jean, became able hands with all the labour that a dairy and crop farm entailed.
Jerry loved horses but wasn't so crazy about milking cattle, so he and Ruth decided to sell their farm, except for a small severance, to open a general store, gas bar, and hobby farm, just up the road from the farm.
During this time she started teaching again. In later years, she recalled with much fondness the children she had taught, the troublemakers and eager ones alike, and the gifts she received, and the skating parties that were held. Several former students visited at her 100th birthday party and were amazed she still remembered them.
It was in the fall of 1975, when their long-dreamt-of retirement home was being built, that Jerry died of an aneurysm. Ruth had to cope with ensuring the rest of the house was built properly and with furnishing it. Whenever I visited during the next 27 years she always had delicious baked goods and casseroles on hand. Food from her garden was a staple in summer. Her letters told of her beautiful flower gardens, Friends visiting, church activities attended, her latest crochet or rug-hooking project, interest in whether we had passed the last term, and thoughtful gestures of family and Friends.
When she was 90, she had a bad bout of pneumonia. Through her strong will, she grew well enough to go home with the support of visits by a homemaker and a nurse. She continued to cook her own meals and tend to her gardens. Although they were scaled back by the time she was 101, she still planted her own geraniums, gladioli, potatoes, and tomatoes. In her letters that year, she also spoke of making peach preserves and Christmas cake and pudding.
Unfortunately, in 2002 she was unable to live on her own any longer and had to make the farthest permanent move of her life: three kilometres to the nursing home in Winchester. Still the perfect hostess, she apologized to visitors for not having goodies to serve. It was my turn to bring her cookies, but she would make sure to walk me down the hallway when I left.
After breaking her hip this spring, she rallied and survived for a week, but she just did not have the strength to survive this latest mishap.
Although she was not able to die in her own home, she did die in Winchester after a quiet, but inspiring life.
Heather is Ruth's granddaughter.
