BELL, Robert Archibald "Archie" Lt. Col, Lake Superior Regiment,
Retired.
Died suddenly but peacefully on April 28, 2005 at Wyndham Manor,
Oakville, in his 88th year. Much loved father of Lesley (Rod
MORRISON) and Alison (Doug
CHARLTON.)
Born in Port Arthur, Archie
was proud of his Scottish heritage and that his people came from
the Hebridian island of Colonsay. Archie's war years defined
him. He landed at Juno Beach with his regiment in August 1944,
was wounded in action, and spent the remainder of the war in
military hospitals in England and Canada, returning to Thunder
Bay in 1946. Archie joined the family moving business, Angus
Bell Cartage, in 1947, retiring in 1968. He then pursued successful
real estate and sales careers. He was a devoted volunteer with
countless organizations, including the Liberal Party of Canada,
the Port Arthur General Hospital and the Lake Superior Regiment
Old
Boys
Association. Archie married Barbara
GILLESPIE in 1949.
Their marriage was sustained by love and humour, which helped
them through the loss of their daughter Nancy at 20 in 1974.
Barbara died unexpectedly in 1986. In addition to his daughters,
Archie is survived by brother Bruce (Anita), sister Marion (Wally),
sister in law, Mona and many nieces and nephews. His sisters
Jessie SPOONER
(Art) and Dodie
STRACHAN (Jack) and brother Ken
predeceased him. Archie was fully engaged in life until the day
he died. He will be remembered for his wry wit and engaging conversation.
There will never be another like him. Lesley and Alison would
like to thank the staff of Wyndham Manor for their exceptional
and compassionate care of their father. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Northern Cancer Research Foundation, Thunder
Bay or Port Arthur Branch 5 Building Fund. Funeral service will
be held at St. Paul's United Church, Thunder Bay on Tuesday,
May 3rd, 11 a.m. Sargent and son Ltd. 1-866-242-5351. Email condolences

HARBRON,
Sheila
Elizabeth (née
LESTER) B.A., B.Ed., U.E.
On Saturday, December 3 at Central Park Lodge Westside in Etobicoke,
at the age of 79, after a long illness. Beloved wife of 55 years
of John, sister of Richard
LESTER of West Vancouver, dearly loved
mother of Patrick of Kinderhook, New York Christopher of Regina,
and Ann of Toronto, and grandmother of Katie and Jessie of Regina.
Sister-in-law to the late Janet
BRAIDE, and
to Florence
KRISTJANSON
and Lillian P.
DYSON-
BABCOCK.
Mother-in-law to Dana
SPOT and
John WESTHEUSER.
Among
Sheila's ancestors are John Pritchard
(one of the original settlers of Rupert's Land, an area encompassing
most of what later became Western Canada), Egerton Ryerson, a
United Empire Loyalist and a leading figure in 19th-century Ontario
education and politics, and Elizabeth Matheson, one of the first
female doctors in Canada. Sheila lived a full and active life,
and made many contributions to her community. Born in Toronto
on November 29, 1926, and raised in that city, she attended Oakwood
Collegiate and graduated from Trinity College at the University
of Toronto in 1948. She married John Davison
HARBRON on September
20, 1950 and devoted much of her energies over the next three
decades to being a devoted wife and mother. She was the first
social convener of the newly founded Victoria Symphony Orchestra
in 1952, and was a scriptwriter for radio station
CJVI in Victoria
in 1952-53. The couple moved to Toronto in 1953. In the early
1970s, while still raising her family, Sheila began working as
a substitute teacher. She returned to university part-time and
earned her B.Ed. from the University of Toronto in 1976, and
spent the next 20 years as a much-in-demand substitute teacher
at Etobicoke high schools. Sheila was president of the Etobicoke
branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women in 1966-67,
and president of the Governor Simcoe branch of the United Empire
Loyalists' Association of Canada from 1989-92. She was a member
of the Ryerse-Ryerson Family Association, produced a family tree
of Ryerson descendants in 1983, and was given a Volunteer Service
Award by the government of Ontario in 1998 for her work with
the United Empire Loyalists. Sheila was also an active member
of St. George's Church-on-the Hill in Etobicoke, including serving
as editor of the church newsletter The Lance from 1989-92. Sheila
will be profoundly missed by her family and her many lifelong
Friends. The family would like to convey their deepest gratitude
to Sheila's caregivers and
to Dr. Sam
GREENSPAN at Central Park
Lodge Westside, and all who have supported us through her long
illness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer
Society of Toronto. The memorial and celebration of Sheila's
life will be held at St. George's Church on-the-Hill on Thursday.
December 22, at 11 a.m. Interment, to be attended by the immediate
family, will be at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery at 2 p.m.
