HARTLEY,
Strachan, B.Sc., M.Sc., M.D.
After a courageous 21 months, Strachan lost his battle against
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma July 5th, 2007 at the Royal Victoria Hospital
in Montreal. Prior to his illness, he experienced short but unfettered
joy as an M.D. pursuing his orthopedic surgery residency at McGill.
Strachan is survived by his devoted wife
Doctor
Chloe
ROUMAIN, proud
parents Mary Ann and Michael, and loving siblings Aimee-Noel,
Wyatt and Blythe. Sharing their daughter's loss are parents-in-law
Pierre YVES and Françoise
ROUMAIN of Haiti and sister Stephanie
READ and family in Miami. While his Uncle Peter
HARTLEY,
Aunt
Catherine LOUVET and cousins Camille and Lauren feel a particularly
strong loss as they acted as his surrogate family during his
7.5 years in Montreal, their grief is shared equally with his
Uncles and Aunts Ian and Mary-Louise and Susan
HARTLEY,
Glenn
and Margaret
MUNRO,
Jim
MUNRO and Margaret
DRAGU and cousins
Megan, Brian, Scott, Kim, Josh and Aretha. He was predeceased
by his grandparents Herb and Simone
HARTLEY and Ralph and Isabelle
MUNRO of Toronto. During his 30 years, Strachan left a powerful
legacy of Friendship, sport and scholarship in Edmonton, Vancouver
and Montreal. His captaincy of the 1997 Vanier Cup Champion University
of British Columbia Thunderbirds football team and subsequently
of the McGill Redmen football team are testament to his leadership
and commitment to others. Earning All-Star status in both leagues,
5-time Academic All-Canadian Honours, the Russ Jackson Award
as the top community, academic and athletic achiever in the Province
of Quebec and twice bestowed with the prestigious Canadian Interuniversity
Sports Award as one of the Top 8 most outstanding academic, leadership
and athletic performers in Canadian sports are tributes of his
tremendous work ethic and strength of character. His successful
completion of medical school while battling cancer speaks to
the bravery and determination of this truly remarkable man who
wanted to make a difference in this world. But most of all, Strachan
will be remembered for his warm sense of humor, compassion and
integrity. All who knew him cannot wonder what might have been.
Why, when he had so much to give, was he taken from us? Sleep
in peace wonderful Prince. We will carry you always in our hearts.
The family wishes to acknowledge all the amazing Friends and
community members who supported Strachan during his life and
illness. Your overwhelming caring and compassion touched him
and the family deeply and helped soothe his burden. In lieu of
flowers, the Hartleys have requested that Friends honour Strachan's
memory through the Strachan Hartley Legacy Foundation. The Legacy
Foundation is designed to further Strachan's life goal of making
a difference in the world. All donations will receive a tax deductible
receipt. Please make cheques payable to the Tides Foundation

THEOBALD,
Elsie
Mary
Daughter, sister, schoolteacher. Born June 15, 1910, in Toronto.
Died of old age May 16 in Montreal, aged 96.
By Susan DRAIN,
Page L6
Elsie THEOBALD was the last of her family. Her parents emigrated
from England in the early years of the last century; their infant
son died shortly after their arrival. Elsie was Canadian-born,
as was her sister Alice, five years younger. Neither sister married.
Work with the railway took the family to Quebec City. Elsie and
Alice were bright girls, brought up to be both ladylike and independent,
and with a strong sense of duty. At 19, Elsie was teaching in
Levis, Quebec
Their father died of pneumonia on Alice's 21st birthday. From
then until her death in 1955, their mother lived with Elsie in
Aylmer, Quebec Their lives were centred on school and church:
Hundreds of "bazaar novelties" flew from Elsie's needles and
onto church sale tables. She taught in Hull, read Heidi to her
Grade 6 classes, and sometimes spent the weekend in bed, felled
by one of her migraines.
She read Dickens almost as faithfully as the Bible. She worried
that she had got too good a bargain out of her life membership
in the Faversham Society, and in recent years sent cheques to
cover postage. She was punctilious in such matters: Her horror
of debt was part of her independence.
Although she eventually moved to Montreal to be near her sister,
it was on her own terms, in her own apartment.
When Alice became infirm, Elsie wore herself out in her care,
taking the bus everywhere to do the shopping and banking for
two. When the sisters moved into a nursing home, Elsie whispered
to my mother, with evident relief: "No more shopping."
Still she fretted over Alice, and when Alice died two years ago,
we thought she might follow. But she surprised us - for the first
time since she was 5, she was free of responsibility.
Her expectations were few. She enjoyed her newspaper, especially
the crossword puzzle and the business pages. She went to bingo
and trivia games, and won every round. They put a limit on the
number of prizes she could claim. It wasn't quite fair to the
others, she admitted, because "they don't have all their marbles."
She had strong opinions, and she was known to take umbrage when
someone crossed her over, say, church sale arrangements. She
was used to her own way.
I am not sure that she would have been pleased to be written
about in a newspaper. When they summoned me to her bedside, she
greeted me by name and asked if I'd had my supper. Then she gave
me instructions about one or two treasures, and told me she wanted
to die. After that night, she said almost nothing more. Except
a day or two before she died, as I was reading evensong to her,
faintly, but steadily, her voice joined in the Lord's Prayer.
Susan DRAIN is Elsie's first cousin once removed.
