McINTOSH, Mavis Irene (formerly KNOWLES, née MALLINSON)
It is with great sadness that the three children of Mavis Irene Knowles McINTOSH announce her passing on June 2, 2007, at the age of 86. Mom passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Village of Sandalwood Park Nursing Home, Brampton, Ontario. Beloved wife and companion for 15 years of John Albert McINTOSH who passed away in 2004. Loving and devoted wife for 29 years of Frederick KNOWLES who passed away in 1972. Loving mother and mother-in-law of Rosemary and Harvey BRUNER, Carolyn KNOWLES and Guy BONNETTA, and Ansy KROUGLICOF and Harold KNOWLES. Dear grandmother of Katie (Neil MARUOKA), Emily (Vadim KAZAKOV), Jennifer, Maggie, Heidi, Andrew, Nicholas, and Jonathan. Mom's last outing was on April 25th, 2007 when she visited her great-granddaughter Molly Noelle MARUOKA who was just nine days old. Mavis will be sadly missed by her brothers and sisters-in-law Nancy and Kenneth MALLINSON (Langley, British Columbia), Pat BURNS and John MALLINSON (Lachine, Quebec), Audrey KNOWLES (Pointe Claire, Quebec), Mary BRANDON (Fenelon Falls, Ontario,) and Isobel and Doug CLERK (Fenelon Falls, Ontario,) her nieces, nephews and cousins. Mavis is predeceased by her brothers Robert and Harold MALLINSON. She has relatives and Friends right across Canada, from British Columbia to the Atlantic Provinces and will be fondly remembered by them all. Mom was born in Montreal on July 9th, 1920, the daughter of Donalda Grace (WOOD) and George James MALLINSON. She graduated from West Hill High School in 1938. After completing a secretarial course, she worked at Ciba Company and Allied War Supplies. As the daughter of an National Hockey League referee, she had a great love of sports throughout her life. She was a member of the Notre-Dame de Grace Tennis Club and spent many winter weekends in the Laurentians skiing. After her marriage to Fred in 1943, the couple enjoyed teaching their children how to have fun. Ice skating, swimming, bike riding, fishing and going on picnics were family pastimes. For many years, Mavis and Fred were enthusiastic members of the Montreal West Curling Club. Mom was also an active member of Westmount Baptist Church and taught Bible study at the church's summer retreat in the Eastern Townships, Cedar Lodge. In 1979, Mom moved to Brampton to be closer to her grandchildren. She took up lawn bowling and joined the local Brampton club. In early 1989, Mom was introduced to John McINTOSH. The happy couple married and moved to Belleville where they enjoyed visits with John's family. Mom was a member of the Belleville Newcomers Club and Ladies Euchre Group. As well as ensuring her children were well educated, Mom passed on to them a great love of music. She was herself part of many musical organizations. She sang in the Westmount Baptist Choir and the Brampton Choral Society, and was a member of the Sandalwood Chime Choir. She loved listening to performances of the Metropolitan Opera on the radio and tolerated her son's rock band practices in the basement of the Belmore Avenue home. Mom was a helpful daughter, a caring sister, a good wife and a wonderful mother. She was a proud and loving grandmother. Most important of all, you could not ask for a better friend. We will all miss her infectious laugh. Many thanks to the staff at Sandalwood who looked after Mom with kindness, patience, and understanding. Also, thank-you to the nursing staff in Ward 4A at the Peel Memorial Hospital. A private cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held in the chapel at Montreal Memorial Park, 3955 Cote de Liesse, St. Laurent, Quebec, on June 23rd, 2007 at 12: 00 noon, followed by interment.

GRANT, Doreen Violet (née COWAN) (February 21, 1924-June 3, 2007)
In her 84th year, as a result of a debilitating stroke, Doreen passed away surrounded by her family and under the compassionate care of the staff at Sunnybrook Hospital. Even though she was paralyzed and without speech, Doreen was able to communicate expressions of her love to the members of her family and Friends at her bedside with a smile and a squeeze of the hand. She was predeceased in 1983 by her husband of over 40 years, William (Bill) A. GRANT, an executive of Philips Electronics. She leaves behind her family: daughter Margaret, daughter Karen (Larry JACKSON,) daughter-in-law Carol GRANT and son Hugh (Sheri PURCELL.) She is lovingly remembered by her four grandchildren, Scott (Liz PLATTS), Tracey (Dave PENDER), Joni BRUNTON (Andrew LAMORE), and Kate JACKSON; and one great-grandchild, Jessica MacDONALD and many beloved nieces and nephews. Her two remaining brothers, Bert COWAN (Sue) of Vancouver and George COWAN (Lena) of Port Colborne also mourn her passing. She is predeceased by her siblings: Het NURSE, Boyd COWAN and Mary JOHNSON. Doreen remained vigorous, vibrant and independent until her stroke. She lived in her own home, carefully tended her own gardens and played bridge with a number of groups. 'Granny' was a welcome and active participant in the lives of her children and their families. The day of the stroke she was taking pleasure in the warm spring sun from her seat on the front porch swing of her home. Through her life Doreen was an active force in everything in which she became involved. Through the fifties and sixties, summers at the 'Lake of Two Rivers' cottage meant all the Algonquin Park staff knew her by name. She was also active in the Progressive Conservative Party at both the federal and provincial levels, participating in many election and leadership campaigns. Following cremation, a visitation will be held at the Pine Hills Visitation, Chapel and Reception Centre, 625 Birchmount Road, Toronto (416-267-8229) on Sunday, June 10, 2007 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Memorial Celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

Police point to diabetes as probable cause of death for Algoma Chief Executive Officer's daughter
By Unnati GANDHI, Page A20
The daughter of Algoma Steel Inc. president and Chief Executive Officer Denis TURCOTTE likely suffered diabetic complications before dying in her Ryerson University dorm room, police and family say.
When Adele TURCOTTE, 17, didn't answer her phone all day Thursday, her mother, Julie, called one of her daughter's Friends who lives in the same residence building to check on her, Toronto police Detective Robert GORDON said yesterday.
The friend found her in bed in her sixth-floor single room without vital signs about 4: 15 p.m.
A postmortem examination conducted yesterday was inconclusive, but Det. GORDON said foul play is not suspected and police are not looking for witnesses. Police have also ruled out suicide.
The first-year fashion student had diabetes since she was six years old, "and worked hard at having a normal life in spite of it," her family wrote in a death notice.
The coroner's office is now awaiting the results of a toxicology test, which "examines fluids of the body, the blood and everything to see what's in there - you know, alcohol, drugs, whatever her insulin level was at the time," Det. GORDON said.
Ms. TURCOTTE, who was born in Saint John but grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, "was the best friend a girl could have," one of her closest Friends, Stefanie BRUZAS, 18, said from Sault Ste. Marie last night.
"She's been through everything with me. A rough breakup, a fight with my Friends - she would never take sides but she would talk me through it."
Ms. BRUZAS, who is also attending school in Toronto, said Ms. TURCOTTE had designed her own clothing line, Turca, before being accepted at Ryerson and would often dress in her own designs when going out.
"She was doing everything she wanted to," Ms. BRUZAS said. "She knew how to have fun, but she always got her work done. She made great Friends after moving to Toronto, but stuck with her old ones. Her life was perfect. She was perfect."
