PETRONE,
Serafina "
Penny"
Serafina (Penny)
PETRONE, A.T.C.M., B.A., M.A., Ph.D., Order of Ontario
died unexpectedly on Monday August 22nd, 2005 in Vancouver, British
Columbia.
Daughter of the late Luisa
SISCO and Liugi
PETRONE,
Dr. PETRONE was born and raised in Port Arthur (Thunder Bay.)
She attended St. Joseph's School and the Port Arthur Collegiate
Institute where she won the first Canadian Federation of University
Women(Canadian Federation of University Women) scholarship given
to an outstanding Grade 13 female student in the Lakehead. After
graduating from Grade 13, Penny attended the North Bay Norman
School and began, at the age of eighteen, a long and productive
teaching career which encompassed the elementary, secondary,
teachers' college and university levels. Beginning in the one
room rural schools of the Onion Lake Road, and Five Mile, Dr.
PETRONE moved on to urban elementary in Port Arthur and Windsor,
Ontario and then to secondary in Chapleau, Parry Sound, Thunder
Bay, Soest, Germany, and Gros-tenquin (#3 Fighter Wing) France
with the Dept. of National Defence. After returning to Hillcrest
High School in Thunder Bay in 1958, she was offered a teaching
post in the newly-opened Lakehead Teachers' College. In 1963
she was seconded to the Dept. of External Aid to teach at Iganga
Teachers' College in Uganda, East Africa. In 1965 she was transferred
to Ottawa Teachers' College. A bout of breast cancer forced her
to return to Lakehead Teachers' College in 1968. But she managed
to turn a tragic situation into a positive life experience and
continued her teaching and academic upgrading, receiving her
Doctorate in English Literature from the University of Alberta.
After a two year residence in Edmonton, she resumed her teaching
duties at Lakehead University until her retirement. During this
time she was an indefatigable researcher and lecturer, writing
articles for a number of reference books as well as presenting
conference papers and press and broadcast interviews in Canada
and abroad. Her research on the Canadian Poet, Isabella Valancy
Crawford resulted in two books The Selected Short Stories of
Isabella Valancy Crawford and The Fairy Tales of Isabella Valancy
Crawford. They were the first books to make Crawford's prose
works publicly accessible. Dr.
PETRONE also pioneered the critical
study of aboriginal literature in Canada with her landmark books
First People, First Voices, and Northern Voices. Her Native Literature
in Canada was the first book-length history of the literature
of Canada's First Peoples. For this ground-breaking research,
Dr. PETRONE was made an honorary Indian Chief by the Gull Bay
Ojibwa and gained international recognition. After her retirement
from Lakehead University, Dr.
PETRONE's scholarly focus shifted
to the study of her Italian heritage. Anxious to promote Italian
culture, in January 1995, she was instrumental in forming 'I
Literati', a local reading group which focused on Italy's cultural
heritage in the fields of literature, art, music, history and
film as well as on the Italian immigrant experience in North
America. She also wrote two memoirs, Breaking the Mould and Embracing
Serafina. Her book Breaking the Mould was translated into Italian
and launched at the University of Rome, La Sapienza in July,
2005. Dr. PETRONE was a lover of the arts and served on the Boards
of Magnus Theatre and the Thunder Bay Regional Arts Council.
She also served on the Canada Council and the Ontario Arts Council.
Over the years she held various executive offices in teachers'
organizations and in the Canadian Federation of University Women.
She traveled extensively and was a popular platform speaker to
numerous community groups in Thunder Bay and district. During
her lifetime Dr.
PETRONE received many honours and awards: The
Corporation of the City of Thunder Bay Citizens of Exceptional
Achievement Awards (Culture) in 1981, 1984, and 1989, 'L'ordine
d'onore' from the National Congress of Italian Canadians (1994)
the 'Order of Ontario' (1992); Canada 124 Medal (1992); Honorary
Citizen of Piane Crate (1997); the Golden Jubilee Medal (2002)
the F.G. Bressani Literary Award (2002); the Kouhi award for
'her outstanding contribution to writing in Northwestern Ontario'
(May 2004.) Dr.
PETRONE was also the proud recipient of Lakehead
University's first 'Distinguished Teacher' Award in 1989 and
the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations
teaching award (1988). She cherished the knowledge that she was
remembered fondly by generations of students as an outstanding
teacher. Dr. Penny
PETRONE is survived by her brother, Alfred
(Celina) in Thunder Bay, Ontario; her sister, Rita
McCALL
(Lawrence)
in Oakville, Ontario. A brother Frank predeceased her on March
16, 1988 as well as her sister Mary on July 14, 2004. Left to

Volunteer, business 'pillar'
LOCKYER dies
By Debora VAN
BRENK,
Free
Press
Reporter
As a corporate lawyer, Peter
LOCKYER used his expertise and entrepreneurial
skills to start a financial services company and serve as chairperson
of a London-based bank. As a community member,
LOCKYER gave his
time to help the Anglican Church, Huron University College and
other causes.
"He was the kind of guy who said, 'Something should be done --
let's do it,' Peter
SPENCE,
LOCKYER's law partner, said yesterday.
"If I had to use a phrase to describe Peter, it would be 'energetic
enthusiasm,' " he added.
LOCKYER, 61, collapsed and died suddenly Monday while running
with his wife, Gail.
A corporate lawyer with Lockyer Spence in London,
LOCKYER was
chairperson of Pacific and Western Bank of Canada, a London-based
institution with more than $1 billion in assets.
He also was founder of Oak Trust Co. financial services.
LOCKYER's latest venture was a bid, with his Friends Andy
SPRIET
and Bob SISKIND, to buy the former central library on Queens
Avenue and convert it to offices.
Yesterday,
Friends described
LOCKYER as energetic and athletic,
committed to enterprise and volunteerism.
"London has lost a pillar in the business community," said Pacific
and Western president David R.
TAILOR/TAYLOR, who for 20 years has counted
LOCKYER as a friend and colleague.
"He was enthusiastic, passionate, highly motivated."
And publicly low-key, said Bishop Bruce
HOWE of the Anglican
diocese of Huron.
"He wasn't standing up looking for accolades. But those of us
who have the privilege of working with him in some of his volunteer
activities knew he was there and was committed."
LOCKYER headed the diocese's investment committee and was past
chairperson of the executive board of Huron University College.
He served both groups "with distinction,"
HOWE said.
LOCKYER's sudden death shocked all who knew him.
"Peter was one of those fellows you'd think would live to 100
easily. He was the epitome of health,"
TAILOR/TAYLOR said.
LOCKYER was an exceptional tennis player and an avid skier who
also worked out regularly in his home gym.
He was proud of a recent series of routine medical tests that
showed he was in tip-top shape: "He was like a kid with a straight-A
report card,"
SPENCE said.
He was a teen when he first met
LOCKYER 31 years ago and asked
the lawyer for career advice.
LOCKYER became a mentor and a friend.
"We had more of a brother relationship than anything,"
SPENCE
said of the man he described as a visionary.
"He wasn't in the spotlight a lot,"
SPENCE said, "but he had
a lot of influence, positive influence, in the city. I don't
think we or the community will fully appreciate the loss for
a while."
LOCKYER also was past-president of the London Hunt and Country
Club and past chairperson of the National Seniors Tennis Championships.
LOCKYER is survived by his wife, three daughters and his father.
Visitation is tomorrow at the James A. Harris Funeral home, with
the funeral to be held Friday at 11 a.m. at St. Paul's Cathedral.

In loving memory of a special friend, Barb, who passed away 1
year ago today.
A year has gone by in the blink of an eye
And it's hard to believe that it's gone
But the Friendship we shared, will always be there
No matter where we call home.
We miss you, our friend
More than words can say
You're in our thoughts, every day.
Till we meet again.

In loving memory of Barbara
SISSON.
It can't be a year since you went away, because it feels just
like yesterday, we laughed, we hugged, we cried, can it really
be a year since you died?
You've missed so much since you went away, some jobs have changed,
the work is the same,
I'm getting ready to change my name, your daughter had a baby
girl, she is a spitting image down to each little curl,
Things are hard, times have been tough,
Sometimes I didn't know if we'd make it because it was too rough.
You are missed every single day, but I think our family is going
to be okay.
You taught us all to be strong and how to love, but can you keep
your eye on us from above.
In our hearts you will remain, until one day we meet again.
Your Loving niece Crystal
