WARD,
Claire▼ (née
HIGGINS)
Died quietly on July 5, 2007 at age 87, the final small transition
in an illness that had diminished her once-sharp mind and weakened
her once-agile body. Her emotional capacity endured longer, allowing
occasional flashes of her essential kindness, sweetness and bravery,
even towards the end. Claire was born in East York in 1919, the
youngest in a family of five children of Thomas Bartholomew William
HIGGINS and Augusta
RYAN, and step-mother Frances
COOK.
Her▼ four
siblings, Tony, Marjorie, Arthur and Ray all predeceased her.
In 1932, the family returned to England and in 1938, Claire married
Arthur WARD.
They▼ were intensely devoted to each other for 65 years
until his death in 2003. They went through the London Blitz together,
each working in civil defense. Then in 1949 they and their daughters
emigrated to Canada where Claire worked with passion and commitment
in a number of helping organizations in Toronto, including many
years with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees, and the United Nations Association in Canada. She
also studied for 14 years, mostly in the evenings, to get a B.A.
from the University of Toronto at age 54. Claire and Arthur were
members of Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill and Saint Paul's (Westdale)
in Hamilton. For the family, the sense of missing her began some
years ago but now it is definite. She was "Mum" to Vandra (and
husband Volker
MASEMANN) and Kirsten (and husband Don
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON)

will miss her honourary Granny. Claire will also be missed by
her nephews Peter and Donald
LOGAN and her sister Marjorie's
descendants, and also by her cousin Joyce
SMITH, and special
Friends. We are overwhelmingly grateful for the kind care and
companionship she experienced at New Horizons Tower, her home
for the past five years. The staff there and her morning caregivers
from Para Med have treated her with the kind of respect and gentleness
that she accorded everybody. She was an exceptional person. Memorial
service will be held on July 20, 2007 at 3: 30 p.m., in Dovercourt
Baptist Church at New Horizons, 1140 Bloor Street West at Dufferin.
Instead of flowers, we invite you to make donations to either

LEVAN,
Marjory
Edna
Cunningham
Passed from life at Saint Mary's-by-the-Lake Hospital in Kingston
on November 12th. Surrounded by those whom she loved into life,
Marjory died with great grace, having lived with and battled
cancer for over 20 years. Born in China to missionary parents,
Marjory spoke two languages of love her entire life: food and
hospitality. Those who sat at her table and joined in her parties
will recall her joy in good company and her energy for adventurous
living. Travelling was Marjory's delight, never giving up on
her wonder for the world which God has given us. Through much
of her life Marjory was joined with Victor
LEVAN, her husband
for over 60 years and together they knew joy and sorrow, always
thankful for family and Friends. Vic died in 2006, but Marj's
children Peter
LEVAN (Rhonda
LENTI) Mary Beth (Bill
SCHRAM) and
Christopher (Kelly
HIGGINS) were all with their mom in her last
moments. Marjory's joy of living continues on in her 6 granchildren:
Jeremy LEVAN (Carolyn), Robert
LEVAN, Marybeth (Nathan
GLENTWORTH),
Rebecca CAVEN (James
CAVEN), Matthew
LEVAN and Griffin
HIGGINS
and 1 great-grandchild: Wesley
LEVAN. A memorial service will
be held in the church that supported Marjory and Victor with
such compassion: Chalmers United Church (Kingston) on Sunday,
December 16th at 4: 00 p.m. (followed by a pot luck dinner). As
an expression of our gratitude for the life of Marjory and Victor
lived, donations may be made to the Chalmers United Church Memorial
Fund or a charity of your choice. Marjory's work and wish for
humanity is captured in the vision of peace and prosperity found
in the prophet Micah: "And all shave live under their own vine
and fig tree and none shall be afraid. (Micah 4: 4)" May that
be her lasting benediction. Arrangements entrusted to Kingston
Cremation Services, Ph. (613) 634-0453.
