Weyer family of Peterborough. She will be missed by her many

Marion WEYER, 87: A secret life
Marion WEYER joined the Royal Air Force and served in Kingston
for three years during World War 2.
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
Obituary
Writer
Marion WEYER had a secret. Only a few people knew it; no one
else suspected it.
The 25-year Imperial Oil employee -- an accounting clerk, the
kind of employee considered the bedrock of a company -- retired
in 1982 with a pension based on an annual salary of $22,000.
Hers seemed an ordinary life:
WEYER was single, always well turned
out, and happy and independent in her Thorncliffe Park apartment.
She was something of a hotshot in Esso's bowling league for retirees,
a crossword puzzle aficionado, an avid reader and for years drove
about town in a Volkswagen Beetle. She was a handsome woman,
poised and tall with a proud carriage.
Her secret was born September 29, 1956, when
WEYER was 37. It
was a common enough story of that straitlaced time -- a hushed,
hidden pregnancy, because the father of Mary Ann Constance was
WEYER's boss, a man 10 years her junior on his way up who was
single but had no intention of marrying her.
Social history records kept by the Catholic children's aid only
hint at WEYER's anguish: "Birth mother was very concerned about
the baby and took several months to make up her mind to place
an adoption. She visited the baby regularly and really wanted
to keep her but eventually said it was not possible. She kept
in touch with the birth father and possibly hoped for marriage.
He was not interested and told her she should place her for adoption."
In those days -- just 50 years ago -- the birth mother had to
appear in court and physically hand the baby over to the adoptive
parents. It was the saddest day in
WEYER's life -- and she went
through it alone.
"As far as I know, my dad and Uncle Jack would have done nothing
but give her hell, but I think she thought she was letting the
family down. Fifty years ago, this was something terrible," said
Joan WEYER, a mother of eight who kept her aunt's secret for
close to 40 years.
They had been sitting together in the dining room of the Peterborough
home of Jack
WEYER,
Marion's▲ eldest brother, the family patriarch
after the death of their Irish Catholic parents, when Joan's
two little girls came running in from the backyard and climbed
up onto both women's laps. "[Marion] said to me, 'You know, Joanie,
I had a little girl' and I didn't know what she meant. I thought
she meant she had passed away, but then she said she had given
her up for adoption."
Marion WEYER was the baby in a family with three protective older
brothers, growing up in a town where the girls coming home from
convent school had to walk on the opposite side of the street
from the boys. She left Peterborough when she joined the Royal
Air Force, and served in Kingston for three years before taking
a job in a finance company after the war.
It was there she met her child's father, and it was then that
her family went three years without seeing her. The family assumed
she was busy with her life in Toronto. Her goddaughter and niece,
Jeanne D'ERAMO, who is Joan
WEYER's sister, often spent a week
in the summer with her glamorous aunt. "We were very close,"
D'ERAMO said.
But she was shocked the day in 1990 when she dropped by her aunt's
home. "As soon as I opened the door, she could hardly wait to
tell me the news,"
D'ERAMO recalled. "Connie had sent her a note.
She showed me her photo. I was amazed." It was the only time
WEYER opened up about her daughter.
Connie REEVE had registered with the adoption agency to locate
her birth mother in 1982 while still an articling law student.
At that time, both parties had to register before the agency
would turn over information, and
WEYER hadn't registered. In
1990, after the disclosure rules were loosened,
REEVE was told
her birth mother's name.
They exchanged notes and photos. Then, on April 18,
REEVE phoned
WEYER.
They met for lunch at the Inn on the Park -- it was awkward
and fascinating,
REEVE recalled. She didn't look like her birth
mother -- different height, build and eye colour. "It is strangers
getting to know one another," she said.
REEVE had been raised as one of three adopted children in a loving
family in Thornhill. "There are adoptees who are resentful,"
she said. "I never felt that. I felt welcomed and special. I
never had to get over feelings of abandonment. Marion visited
me (as a baby). It's not like I didn't have someone to care for
me."
They forged a Friendship, phoning, going out to dinner, spending
every Christmas Eve together.
WEYER refused to come to the Christmas
celebrations of
REEVE's adoptive family, but the two mothers
once met over lunch.
REEVE's adoptive mother had made a photo
book for WEYER, who had only one 1958 photo of her daughter.
But WEYER was as private with
REEVE as with her own family. She
ducked the issue when
REEVE asked if she would tell her family
about her. As for
REEVE's birth father,
WEYER said she cut any
contact -- and cut his likeness out of her photos -- when he
refused to see his baby. Only after knowing
REEVE for five years
did she tell her his name.
"Marion never expressed her emotions in plain language,"
REEVE
said, "but she wanted to keep contact with me."
It was REEVE who found
WEYER collapsed in her apartment this
fall after being unable to reach her by phone. And it was
REEVE
who was with her the night before she died in hospital of a bleeding
gastric ulcer November 2, at age 87. The nurses said
WEYER's
heartbeat always improved when
REEVE visited.
REEVE had to go through
WEYER's phone book to locate the family
to tell them about the death. Two weeks after
WEYER died, many
of them met
REEVE for the first time at a Peterborough cemetery.
"I would have introduced her to every relative I have," said
Joan WEYER. "
She is certainly someone to be proud of."
"Her family were welcoming and seemed really nice. I don't know
why she wouldn't have told them all," said
REEVE.
In clearing out
WEYER's effects, she discovered Marion had kept
every card from the bouquets
REEVE had sent for the past 15 Mother's
Days.
"That's the whole thing about secrets. They get bigger and bigger
over time."

Elderly woman killed in hit and run
By Hilda HOY,
Staff
Reporter
An elderly Mississauga woman is dead after being struck yesterday
by a vehicle that hit her while backing up before speeding away,
police say.
Both the driver and passenger jumped out of the car and looked
at the victim before taking off, witnesses: told police.
The 75-year-old victim had been crossing from the west side of
Hurontario Street, just north of Dundas Street, at about 3 p.m.
She was hit when a car on Dundas St. suddenly went into reverse,
police said. "It appears they missed their turn and backed up
and hit her," Peel police Const. Kathy
WEYLIE said.
Kwai Lin TAM was taken to hospital, but later died.
She was not at a designated crosswalk when she was hit,
WEYLIE
said.
Investigators are looking for a small, dark car, possibly a Honda
or Toyota, last seen on John St. Both the driver and the passenger
are described as men in their early 20s.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-453-2121,

Cyclist falls to death from bridge
By Bob MITCHELL,
Staff
Reporter
A 46-year-old man is dead following a bizarre bicycle accident
on a bridge in Mississauga.
According to witnesses, Andrzej
SACAWA lost control yesterday
morning as he was riding along a sidewalk on a bridge on Burnhamthorpe
Rd. over the Credit River -- and then tumbled over the railing
to his death.
Police said
SACAWA's handlebars somehow became lodged in the
railing as he was riding across the bridge that crosses the Credit
River in the area between Mississauga Rd. and Creditview Rd.
Suddenly, he lost control of his mountain bike, then tumbled
over the handlebars and fell about 28 metres to his death.
A coroner pronounced him dead at the scene, police said.
"The railing is apparently quite low if you're on a bike," Peel
Constable Kathy
WEYLIE said.
Police officials said no other people or vehicles were involved
in the bridge tragedy.

SCHEEL,
Dorothy
Florence
(KNOTT)
Of Wilson Avenue, Delhi passed away peacefully at the London
H.S.C., Victoria Hospital on Sunday, February 26, 2006 in her
79th year. Dorothy was a loving partner and wife for 62 years.
She was born in Dorchester and married at 17. In childhood, she
is remembered as the one always on the go and 78 years later
it was still challenging to keep up to her. Dorothy was a devoted
and loving mother to Jan and Michael who learned the meaning
of determination, fun and integrity. She was a very proud grandmother
of Abby and Kate, and was always delighted by their visits. To
Dorothy's many dear Friends, her sense of fun and humour, her
loyalty, common sense and honesty were always appreciated. With
her sharp mind, intelligence, keen sense of business and financial
affairs, she and Mike were successful in all they endeavoured.
Her love of life showed up on the dance floor, playing a vigorous
game of cribbage or euchre, creating a beautiful flower garden,
spending a weekend with her sister Audrey, celebrating special
occasions with joy, reading a favourite new book, creating delicious
meals, spending time alone or taking a drive to Port Dover for
a foot long hot dog and some people watching. After retirement
one of Dorothy and Mike's favourite things was to jump into the
car and go for a drive. It didn't matter where or for how long.
But you can be sure it would always be Dorothy in the driver's
seat! Throughout her 78 years, Dorothy touched the lives and
hearts of many. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
