In loving memory of Kenny, a dear son and brother, who passed
away 6 years ago, January 3rd, 2001.
Lord tell him how much we miss him,
And give him all our love.
Our family gatherings are never the same,
Without your smiling face and your warm embrace.
They say times heals all sorrow,
And helps us to forget.
But time so far has only shown how much,
We miss him yet.
- Loving you always, forgetting you never.

KRANENBURG,
Debra
Ann (née

Debra Ann KRANENBURG went to be with her Heavenly Father peacefully
with her family by her side at the South Bruce-Grey Health Centre,
Walkerton on Monday, October 22nd, 2007 at the age of 50 years,
the former Debra
SCOTT of Paisley. She will be missed by her
best friend and husband Bill
KRANENBURG.
Together they shared
a great love for their children; Wesley and his wife Jessica
of Scotland, Ontario, Nathaniel and his wife Laura of Port Elgin,
Jeremy and his wife Katie of Southampton, Zachary of Paisley,
and Emily of Paisley. Bill and Debra also received great joy
from their three grandchildren; Josiah, Caleb, and Chloe-Anne.
Debbie is survived and greatly loved by her parents Roy and Bertha
SCOTT of Port Elgin, her sister Darlene
MASHINTER and family
of Waterloo, and by her brothers Don
SCOTT and family of Calgary,
Alberta, and Dave
SCOTT and family of Wellesley. She will always
be remembered by her many Friends and remain in their hearts.
Friends called at the W. Kent Milroy Paisley Chapel, 216 Queen
St. S., Paisley, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, October 24th,
2007. Funeral service was conducted in the Immanuel Missionary
Church, Paisley, on Thursday at 2: 00 p.m., with the Rev. Tony
GEENSE officiating. During the service, family remembrances were
presented by her brother Don
SCOTT.
Barb
JOHNSTON served as pianist
and led the music portion of the service. Debbie was born June 16th,
1957 to Roy and Bertha
SCOTT, and was raised on a farm in Paisley.
She was educated locally, and graduated from the Accounting Program
at Georgian College in Owen Sound. Very involved in her church,
it was there that she met Bill
KRANENBURG, eventually marrying
in 1978. Debbie taught Sunday School for many years, and served
faithfully as Church Treasurer for 25 years. Aside from farming,
together, Bill and Debbie successfully partnered in business
when they purchased the Beefway meat packing business in Kincardine
in 1997. They then went on to acquire the First Base Restaurant
on Port Elgin Beach in 2000, which they quickly established as
a family favourite. She faithfully supported her children in
all their activities, dreams and aspirations. Debbie enjoyed
doing crafts, was an avid garage-saler, loved to shop and collect
collectables. She was a wonderful cook who shared her meal creations
with her many Friends and family. She will be remembered as a
fun-loving, Christian woman with a wonderful sense of humour
and a bubbly, contagious laugh. Her family will miss the compassionate,
caring and generous nature with which she blessed them everyday.
Her zeal for life inspired many people to love their lives to
the fullest, to enjoy the small pleasures in life, and to trust
God in all things. Interment was made at Paisley Cemetery. Acting

Numerous tips lead to arrest in Ontario killing
Man considered a missing person until two fishermen found his
body
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page A7
The mysterious disappearance of a man named Jeffrey
MASON last
year had nearly everyone in a Northern Ontario town talking.
The 37-year-old welder's home and car had been found burned and
gutted - his loyal dog's remains inside - and, for months, there
hadn't been a trace of Mr.
MASON anywhere.
But the mystery is no more: The body of Mr.
MASON, from Dowling,
Ontario, near Sudbury, was discovered in a nearby river last
month, and this week an arrest was made in his death.
Two couples fishing on the Vermillion River on June 7, just kilometres
from Mr. MASON's home, caught sight of something that had floated
up from the 120-foot-deep river.
"Two of the people went out and retrieved what was floating and
it was actually Jeffrey," said Sudbury police Staff Sergeant
Sheilah WEBER, adding that Mr.
MASON was found fully clothed,
with a light-coloured cloth wrapped around him. He had died of
blunt-force trauma.
Then on Wednesday, Sudbury resident Nicholas Aaron
MARTIN, 18,
was charged with first-degree murder in Mr.
MASON's death. Mr.
MARTIN
appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded into custody
until Tuesday.
Local police initially treated the investigation, which The Globe
and Mail reported on in February, as a missing-person case. But
with each passing day they were further convinced it was much
more than that. His family always maintained that he was murdered,
and that the killer burned away the slightest bit of evidence.
Staff Sgt.
WEBER said Ontario Provincial Police divers had twice
searched the river, once in the days immediately after Mr.
MASON's
disappearance, and once in the early spring after the temperature
had risen, but could never make it deeper than 90 feet.
After the discovery of his body, the case became a homicide investigation.
Four investigators worked on the file full-time. Witnesses: began
to come forward, forensic evidence - including a blanket that
belonged to Mr.
MASON that was found near the river - was analyzed,
and tips were followed up, she said.
"Basically, everybody had a piece of the puzzle and now we've
been able to put that puzzle together," Staff Sgt.
WEBER said.
Police confirmed that at the time of his arrest, Mr.
MARTIN was
already in jail awaiting a trial for attempted murder in an unrelated
incident from last November, when he had allegedly slashed another
person's neck with a knife during a house party in the Sudbury
area.
Mr. MASON's eldest brother, John, confirmed yesterday that Jeffrey
and the accused weren't strangers. "He was known to him, but
he wasn't an acquaintance," he said. "I certainly don't believe
[his death] was random."
The discovery of Jeffrey's body and the news of an arrest, he
said, brings an uncomfortable sense of relief to his tight-knit
family - three siblings and a widowed mother.
Mr. MASON had moved back to the family farm in 2003 from Calgary
to take care of his mother after his father died of a stroke.
He never went a day without getting in touch with her or his
siblings.
"It was just so unbelievably surreal. We always felt that something
disastrous had happened to him. He could not, because we believed
he would not, stay away from us for so long."
Despite the arrest, the elder Mr.
MASON says there will never
be closure with the family, not even with a conviction, because
he never got to say goodbye to his baby brother.

Margaret ATWOOD,
Dietitian (1909-2006)
Headstrong woman loved the outdoors and helped inspire her daughter
and namesake, Canada's celebrated author and poet
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S7
A dietitian by training, strong-willed and independent by upbringing,
the original Margaret
ATWOOD raised her children on a diet of
thrift, reading aloud and the freedom to explore their natural
and intellectual surroundings. By the time she was a grandmother,
economy was ingrained as a habit rather than a necessity, but
the years had not blunted her sense of adventure.
"Quite some time after the event, I told both my parents that
I had tried LSD," her younger daughter, Ruth
SIFERD, said
recently. "Daddy pursed up his mouth and looked disapproving.
Mum leaned forward and said, 'What was it like?' "
Staying with her grandmother when her parents (writers Margaret
ATWOOD and Graeme
GIBSON) were away was "fantastic," recalled
Jess Atwood
GIBSON, 30, now a graduate student in art history
at Yale University. "My grandmother would allow me to feed her
Venus flytrap endless small pieces of ground meat on toothpicks,
and she would show me how to tickle its fronds, pretending to
be a fly, and give me an account of its digestion."
Every morning before school, Mrs.
ATWOOD would sit young Jess
on a stool and wind her hair into long, fat curls around her
finger with a white comb dipped in a glass of water. "For a seven-year-old,
the best grandmother possible was one who could both explain
plant digestion and curl hair into ringlets."
Although Margaret
ATWOOD has always resisted interpreting her
own fiction for readers, she told literary biographer Rosemary
Sullivan (The Red Shoes) that her muse was the mother figure.
Mothers run the gamut in Ms.
ATWOOD's work from holy terrors
to benevolent nurturers, but the story that is probably most
autobiographical is "Significant Moments in the Life of My Mother"
from Bluebeard's Egg.
"I used to think that my mother, in her earlier days, led a life
of sustained hilarity and hair-raising adventure," Ms.
ATWOOD
wrote. "Horses ran away with her, men offered to, she was continually
falling out of trees…" It is only later that Ms.
ATWOOD realizes
that "the stories were just the punctuation" in a life that had
"long stretches of uneventful time."
Margaret
Dorothy
Killam
ATWOOD was born in the Annapolis Valley
of Nova Scotia. The eldest of five children of Harold
KILLAM,
a country doctor, and his wife
Ora
Louise
WEBSTER, she was socially
shy but physically daring. A tomboy, she delighted in walking
the barn ridgepole and riding her two cherished horses, Dick
and Nell.
She was 17 and sliding down a banister at Normal School in Truro
when Carl ATWOOD, a hard-working self-made man who had grown
up in the backwoods of South Shore, Nova Scotia, spotted her
and immediately fell in love -- or so he said.
As wily as she was headstrong, she got the better of her father
after he refused to let her bob her hair in the 1920s. She waited
until he had a dentist appointment and made her plea while the
drill was whirling. He retorted that she could do anything she
wanted as long as she left him alone, and so she went straight
to the barber and had her waist-length tresses chopped.
Perhaps that's why her father declined to send her to university
on the grounds that she was "frivolous." Instead she taught school,
saved money and won a scholarship to Mount Allison University.
She graduated in domestic science and became a dietitian and
nutritionist.
After a long courtship with Carl
ATWOOD -- money was scarce and
she was having "too much fun," as she later told her children
she finally married her beau in 1935. Besides having a PhD,
he was an expert woodsman and the only one of her suitors that
her father didn't dismiss as a "jackass." They spent their honeymoon
canoeing down the Saint_John River in New Brunswick.
Then they headed for northern Quebec, where Prof.
ATWOOD, an
entomologist, had a small forest insect research station. Living
first in a tent then a cabin, Mrs.
ATWOOD raised her first two
children, Harold and Margaret (Peggy), without the benefit of
running water or electricity -- during prime insect season --
from spring until fall. Prof.
ATWOOD pawned his fountain pen
to pay the hospital bill when Peggy was born in November, 1939.
The family spent winters in Ottawa, but Mrs.
ATWOOD much preferred
the bush, where she could swim in the cold northern lakes --
"refreshing, refreshing," she invariably trilled as she strode
purposefully into the frigid water. She also loved to grow vegetables,
pick blueberries, fish, shoot grouse, sweep the dirt out the
door in the morning and be done with housekeeping for the day.
"My mother baked her way through the war years," Ms.
ATWOOD remembered,
"with no-butter, low-sugar recipes, and when we ran out of protein
she'd open a can of Spam, mix up some Klim milk powder, or go
down to the end of the dock and throw in a line for pickerel."
In 1945 the
ATWOODs moved to Sault Ste. Marie, where Prof.
ATWOOD
set up another insect lab. With this change of venue, the family
spent the warmer months of the year at a cabin on the shore of
Lake Superior.
Mrs. ATWOOD put her children to work picking berries at a cent
a cup, which she preserved for eating in the colder months. Her
daughter Peggy still remembers seeing her mother waving a broom
and yelling "Scat" to chase away a bear that had trashed the
food cache.
The family moved to Toronto in 1946, so that Prof.
ATWOOD could
begin teaching zoology at the University of Toronto. Their second
daughter and third child, Ruth, was born five years later, in
1951. Mrs.
ATWOOD was 42, but age wasn't the only factor that
differentiated her from most of the other neighbourhood moms.
She hated housework and was oblivious to the consumer boom of
the 1950s and 1960s.
"She had absolutely zero interest in colours of furniture, curtains,
or other 'girl' stuff -- Dad did all that," remembered her younger
daughter, Ruth. "As long as things were cleanish and had no holes
she was happy." She was attached to "things" for their sentimental
value, but otherwise material goods were of little interest.
"The Depression mentality of reduce-reuse-recycle came naturally
to her and was very useful in the bush and on canoe trips."
Besides raising three children, to whom she read aloud voraciously,
Mrs. ATWOOD was committed to Scottish country dancing and ice
dancing, an activity she enjoyed until she was 75.
Her last years were mired in ill health, but even when she was
blind and bedridden in a nursing home, she never complained.
She didn't believe in whining.
Margaret
Dorothy
Killam
ATWOOD was born June 8, 1909, in Kinsman's
Corners, Nova Scotia She died at home in Toronto this past Saturday.
She was 97. Predeceased by her husband, the zoologist Carl
ATWOOD,
she leaves her three children, their families and her younger
sister, Joyce
BARKHOUSE.
There will be a memorial service later
in the month.

MORGAN,
Dorothy▼
Ann▼
Mary▼ (née
PHILLIPS)
(February 1, 1909-October 14, 2007)
In the company of her daughter, son and elder granddaughter,
Ann (Dolly)
MORGAN died peacefully on the evening of October 14,
2007. It was the end of an astonishing life. Born in London,
she learned the city by heart, developing a particular affection
for 'her' bridge, Westminster, across which she so often crossed
from her home in Kennington. She remembered the First World War,
growing into adulthood in the vibrant 1920s, and life in the
London of Olivier and Toscanini in the 1930s. While teaching
school she met Islwyn
MORGAN.
They▼ married in 1935 and moved
to Cardiff, where their children Janet (1937), Richard (1945)
and John (1948), were born. In 1958 the family emigrated to Canada.
After▼
Islwyn▼ died in 1966, most of the
MORGANs moved to British
Columbia, and Dolly eventually settled in Vancouver. There she
later was fortunate enough to meet and marry Clem
PENNEY.
Dolly▼
thoroughly enjoyed her new life. Even after Clem's death in 2002,
Dolly maintained her own household until an illness required
her move to Carlton Gardens in Burnaby, where she spent her last
few months very comfortably.
Dolly is survived by her daughter, Janet and son, John, as well
as daughters-in-law Bronwen and Jeannine, and former son-in-law
Norman WEBSTER.
She▼ was predeceased by her elder son Richard
(1990) and son-in-law Bob
BACON (1998.) In addition, Dolly was
deeply fortunate to enjoy grandchildren Julian (Cindy), Chris,
Sarah and Sian (Buz), and great-grandchildren Helena, Rhys, Brandon
and Dylan.
Dolly's interests ranged widely. She was an addicted (and accomplished)
crossword puzzler, avidly attacking the Globe's infamous Saturday
puzzles, though even when she attained the right answer, she
admitted she could not always fathom the clues. She read voraciously,
particularly enjoying mysteries; she also had a lifelong passion
for classical music and theatre. She possessed a quick mind,
a strong wit, a good sense of humour, a commitment to left-wing
politics, a convinced doubt concerning religion and yet an appreciation
of its music and ceremony, a belief in the necessity of charity
and a dedication to her family.
Living ninety-eight years, Dolly became not only the grand matriarch,
but also an institution, in the
MORGAN family. She was much loved
and we all miss her beyond our ability to say. Nos da, Dolly.
