Fortier
Volunteer, activist, fighter, role model, friend, wife, lover

For many years, Lucille and a friend celebrated August 10, 1952,
as the marker of their shared destiny - their contact with polio.
A happy childhood with her loving family was punctuated with
numerous medical interventions. Since life in a wheelchair made
the local secondary school inaccessible, Lucille completed high
school in the United States. Although unable to continue her
formal education, she was extremely well-read, curious and astute.
In 1973, Lucille married activist and Ryerson English professor
Bill OWEN.
She greatly enjoyed the years they spent at the University
of Kentucky, where Bill earned a PhD.
During that time she renewed her Friendship with Margaret
STATON,
whom she had met as a teenager at Toronto's Lyndhurst Lodge rehabilitation
centre.
In 1994, Margaret named Lucille to the initial board of her Ethel
Louise Armstrong Foundation (named after Margaret's grandmother),
created to "promote… the inclusion of people with disabilities."
Overcoming a fear of flying, Lucille made numerous trips to California
for board meetings. In 2004, the foundation honoured her with
the Lucille Fortier Owen Scholarship.
In Chicago in 1981, Lucille and a friend attended a conference
at which post-polio issues came to the fore. Together they nudged
the Ontario March of Dimes to re-establish a post-polio program.
Lucille championed accessible health care for women with disabilities
and always provided excellent analyses of the politics of disability
and other social change campaigns.
When diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2001, Lucille became an
informed decision maker in her own care. She astonished her palliative
care team by long outlasting her initial prognosis. Lucille personally
organized a note and a gift to be given to each member of her
support circle after her death.
When Bill died in 2005, Lucille established the Bill and Lucille
Owen scholarship at Ryerson University. Advisers had persuaded
her to add her name, to provide a role model for female students
and to underline her part in "their lifetime work to secure social
justice through public policy."
Lucille's legacy is vastly greater than our loving memories and
scholarships. By her persistence, through her actions and in
her treatment of others, Lucille Owen lived her conviction that
everyone must be treated equitably.
Maggi REDMONDS,
Audrey
KING and Diane Murray
BARKER are Lucille's
Friends.
