There was no telling from her pace behind her walker that Joyce
AMBROSE was approaching 90 when she moved into the neighbourhood.
Like many of us, she walked her dog twice a day in all kinds
of weather. This is how I came to know Joyce.
Her little terrier, Jock, had been her son's, she explained one
of the first times we talked. When her son's partner died, followed
by the death of her son, Joyce moved back to Toronto from Vancouver.
She had taken a room at Abbeyfield House, a residence catering
to isolated yet independent individuals. I liked her immediately
because she radiated spunk. Always prettily turned out, as my
wife noted, whether starting a garden on the Abbeyfield grounds
or inching her way up the hill to catch a bus, Joyce seemed both
old and ageless.
One summer, word went around that she had turned 90. Yes, she
said, she'd be happy to come to lunch. Over cold chicken sandwiches,
we learned more about her.
She was South African and was deemed "coloured" under the apartheid
system, she said. To escape the limitations of being labelled
as such, she and her husband immigrated to England. She and her
son subsequently moved to Canada. Joyce smiled sweetly as she
told this story, as though what had happened 50 years earlier
didn't matter much now.
What mattered, increasingly, was that she was losing her hearing.
As years passed and setbacks came - Jock was put down, repeated
falls left her less mobile - her growing difficulty in conversing
distressed her most. Missing what was said left her unable to
respond. Conversation had been Joyce's great pleasure.
She took to carrying a plastic slate and a felt-tip pen on her
daily walks. As she absorbed whatever question you had written,
the embers that burned within her eyes would brighten and her
voice would sound as merry as ever.
Moved from Abbeyfield two years ago to a series of nursing homes,
Joyce spent more and more time in hospital. She would squeeze
a visitor's hand, even when unable to sit up, and her eyes would
sparkle with every exchange initiated on the plastic slate.
I never knew her well. Yet those who did - Friends from her earlier
life in Toronto who turned up at her various bedsides - seemed
to react as I did, feeling better for the experience of being
with her, as though warmed by her model.
Joyce's gaze finally lost its fire in her last days, one friend
said, yet the memory of her enduring grasp of life remains as
a gift for any of us who made her acquaintance.
Dan PROUDFOOT is Joyce's friend.

AMBROSE,
Cherry (née
BOOTH)
We mourn the loss of our dedicated nurse, eldest sister, loving
mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, dear friend and beloved
wife. With her singular genius for helping others in times of
need, Cherry has helped untold Friends, family and strangers
at times when no one else knew what to do or say. Her genius
for helping others was matched by the seemingly endless wealth
of quilts, sweaters, and tapestries she used to express her love
of others with colours and textures that comforted. We will miss
her dearly as we move into the cold Canadian winter, for the
first time on our own. Cherry is deeply missed by her husband
John, daughter Robin and her husband Eric, grand_sons Martin and
Daniel, siblings Jim
BOOTH, Margaret
BOOTH, Ann
HANHAM, Heather
MAHON, and Terry
NEUDORF and their families. The Guelph General
Hospital palliative team of doctors and nurses of 7E rose to
the occasion and gave Cherry the most professional and compassionate
care. Family will receive Friends at the Wall-Custance Funeral
Home and Chapel, 206 Norfolk Street, Guelph (519-822-0051 or www.wallcustance.com),
on Monday (2-4 and 7-9 p.m.). A memorial service will occur at
2: 00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 in the chapel. In lieu
of flowers, Cherry requested that donations be directed to the
Stephen Lewis Foundation "Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign",
260 Spadina Avenue, Suite 501, Toronto M5T 2E4.
