Celebration of Life Service
On Saturday afternoon, May 26 a Celebration of Life service was
held for John Oliver
RITCHIE in the Annesley United Church, Markdale
when a large crowd of Friends and relatives attended.
Prior to the service Bill
McMEEKIN provided bagpipe music as
the people entered the church. He concluded with playing the
hymn "O God of Bethel", a family favourite and the hymn which
was played as the Ritchie forefathers boarded the ship to come
to Canada.
The eulogy was given by his sister, Rosemary
RITCHIE, who related
about growing up on the Old Durham Road, Artemesia Township the
son and daughter of John and Sadie (Sarah
OLIVER)
RITCHIE and
attending the Old Durham Road School. She recalled many experiences
of their young and teenage years and then of John Oliver going
off to train for a nurse. She recalled how he graduated from
the Owen Sound General and Marine Hospital then obtained his
B.A. from Waterloo University before heading west in 1974.
He chose to live in Delta, British Columbia where his great-uncle
and former British Columbia premier, John
OLIVER, had settled.
There he enjoyed nature, creating a wonderful garden and walking
his dogs.
He completed a M.A. at Simon Fraser University and became a teacher
at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Douglas College where he
taught for 30 years. He was much loved and admired by colleagues
and students alike.
He enjoyed music and sang with the Vancouver Bach Choir for several
years in performances of Handel's Messiah, the Aida performance
at British Columbia Place and subsequent travels to perform in
Japan.
Rev. Mark WAUGH of Annesley United read scripture and gave the
meditation.
George ACHESON and Marilyn
GUY sang several solos and duets during
the service.
Les MacKINNON, a cousin, recalled memories of John Oliver as
did Katie HARRISON, a classmate.
Others taking part and recalling memories were Joe
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
Lynn
MOREWOOD,
Katherine
HALL, and Mary
HALL.
All classmates were presented with roses upon entering the church
and at a specific time during the service went forward and placed
them on the table at front of the church.
Following the service a time of fellowship was enjoyed in the
church's Fellowship Hall.
John Oliver
RITCHIE's ashes were interred in the family plot
in Evergreen Cemetery, South Line, former Artemesia Township.

GRAY/GREY,
Muriel
May (née
BEAUFIELD)
Passed peacefully away on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, at Arborstone
Enhanced Care after a twelve-year struggle with Parkinson's Disease.
She was in her 74th year and was predeceased in 2005 by her devoted
and beloved husband of 46 years, Peter Forbes
GRAY/GREY, her mother
Margaret in 1996, father Charles in 1980 and brother Raymond
in 2003. Leaving to mourn, her daughter Susan (Clayton
DICKSON/DIXON)
and grand_son Oliver, Halifax, Nova Scotia; son John (Lisa) and
grand_son Gunnar, San Diego; two brothers, Calmond (Daisy), Ship
Cove, Newfoundland, and Guy (Juanita), Saint_John's, Newfoundland
and five sisters, Faye (Ross
SWEENEY,)
Halifax,
Nova
Scotia
Marie (Scott
SMITH), St. Andrews, New Brunswick; Patricia (Bud
BEST) and Elaine (Hedley
LANGDON,)
St.
Anthony,
Newfoundland
Pamela (Brian
GUY,) Saint_John's, Newfoundland, and a large number
of relatives and Friends. Described by her siblings as effortlessly
clever, she completed high school at the age of fifteen and began
teaching at the age of sixteen, first at L'Anse au Clair, Labrador,
and later at her hometown, Raleigh. In 1953, after receiving
her Laboratory Technician Certificate, she began working at the
St. Clairs Mercy Hospital, Saint_John's, Newfoundland. Beautiful
but shy, Muriel was introduced to her future husband Peter by
a friend of the family. At the time, Peter was working with McNamara
Construction building a highway in the Witless Bay area. He was
young, handsome and had a charming wit that was rumoured to have
won Muriel's heart by whispering in her ear 'You sure smell better
than the guys at the bunkhouse!' Muriel and her family lived
in Toronto, Ottawa, and Sudbury before moving to Halifax in 1973.
Apart from being a dedicated mother, wife, and homemaker, she
also worked for a time as an interior decorator and was known
for her personal touch of having a 'sense of style'. Muriel was
also respected as a tireless volunteer and committee member of
the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron where she served for some
thirtythree years. Muriel was beautiful in mind, body, and spirit
she had a musical laugh and a wonderful, self-depreciating sense
of humour, and a gentle touch that made her unique to all who
knew her. She adored her two grand_sons and was well enough to
enjoy them both as young children. A sincere thank-you to the
thirdfloor staff of Arborstone Enhanced Care for their kindness
and dedication to Muriel and her family these past two years.
Donations in Muriel's memory may be made to the Parkinson's Society
of Canada. E-mail condolences to: susang@ca.ns.sympatico.ca.
