BOOCOCK,
Keith
Loving and endlessly supportive husband and father, passed away
all too suddenly on the evening of June 18, 2008. His warmth
and wit, devotion and tenderness, his prodigious knowledge and
curiosity about so many subjects, from the British Empire to
Star Trek to the minutia of accountancy, will be missed by all
who knew him.
Dad leaves behind his wife Norma, with whom he shared thirty-five
wonderful years, his children, Charles and Christine, his mother
Mabel, of Bradford, England, and his sister Susan
AULD
(Bob
AULD,
of Reading, England). They and all Dad's family, Friends and
colleagues, in Canada, Costa Rica, England and elsewhere, will
find comfort in their memories of his gentle sense of humour,
quiet steadiness, and unfailing dedication.
The family will hold a visitation Sunday afternoon from 2 to
5 at Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street in Oakville. A mass
of Christian Burial will be held Monday morning at 10 at St. Andrew's
Parish Church, 47 Reynolds Street in Oakville. A reception will
follow. In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate
donations to the intensive care unit of Saint Michael's Hospital
in Toronto.

She never remarried, never forgot her war-hero husband
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S8
Ottawa -- Martha
COUGHLIN spent her entire adult life deeply
in love with the same man, in both peace and war. Everyone thought
Lieutenant-Commander Tony
COUGHLIN and his wife were made for
each other, but their happy marriage lasted only five years,
cut short by his death at sea.
Still, her all-too-short marriage was so important to Mrs.
COUGHLIN
that she venerated it for six decades. In fact, she never married
again, preferring to spend the rest of her life alone, cherishing
the memory of her husband and his wartime valour. Lt. Cdr.
COUGHLIN,
known for his fighting spirit, was decorated for helping to sink
a U-boat during the Second World War.
Mrs. COUGHLIN's inspiring story of love and devotion still tugs
at the heartstrings 69 years after she married her handsome sailor
on September 23, 1939, a bare two weeks after Canada declared
war on Germany. They spent their honeymoon in New York but it
was a short one, since Lt. Cdr.
COUGHLIN was badly needed as
the Royal Canadian Navy expanded dramatically into the Allies'
third-biggest sea force.
After serving six months on convoy duty in the Atlantic as HMCS Assiniboine's
gunnery officer, Lt. Cdr.
COUGHLIN was seconded to HMS Resolution.
Meanwhile, Mrs.
COUGHLIN worked in Ottawa for Metropolitan Life
and hoped for the best. On May 26, 1943, her husband took command
of HMCS Chilliwack.
On March 6, 1944, Chilliwack played a key role in the destruction
of U-744. For almost 48 hours, the corvette was among several
warships that stalked a German submarine in the North Atlantic.
In the end, U-744 was forced to the surface with depth charges
and then pounded into submission by gunnery. Lt. Cdr.
COUGHLIN
was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
Seven months later, on October 19, 1944, Mrs.
COUGHLIN's world
fell apart when she lost her husband. The day before, a storm
had almost washed Lt. Cdr.
COUGHLIN overboard from his fourth
ship of the war, HMCS Iroquois. Shipmates hauled him to safety,
but his leg was fractured. He developed pneumonia and died at
Because overseas travel was severely restricted during the war,
Mrs. COUGHLIN was unable to attend her husband's burial at the
Royal Navy base in Scapa Flow, Scotland. In tribute to their
former captain, the crew of Chilliwack presented the ship's bell
to Mrs. COUGHLIN. It hung proudly in her Ottawa home for the
rest of her life.
Martha COUGHLIN grew up in Ottawa to a life of privilege. The
grandniece of lumber baron J.R.
BOOTH, she enjoyed a comfortable
and carefree childhood during the 1920s.
When her mother died in 1931, her aunts took her under their
wing and "continued to school Martha in the ways of a proper
young lady as they had been raised in the 1880s. Martha went
through life with very firm ideas about how men and women should
behave. While she felt men were ideally suited for opening doors
for women and fixing things throughout the house, she did not
believe that women should be restricted in any way from pursuing
whatever they chose to do," said her nephew, Roger
DENT.
Mrs. COUGHLIN met her future husband in 1931, at the start of
the Depression. Times were hard so the couple decided to settle
for a long engagement until things improved.
During the six decades that followed the war, Mrs.
COUGHLIN kept
the memory of her dashing sailor in a special place in her heart.
That didn't mean she stopped living - far from it. She built
an active social life, attending parties, luncheons, and played
bridge with her Friends, but she just wasn't interested in meeting
another man, said her sister-in-law, Theresa
DENT. "
She did sometimes
have an escort for a ball, but she was clear that she'd never
remarry. She never removed her wedding band."
An optimist who loved life, Mrs.
COUGHLIN graduated from Carleton
College (now Carleton University) in 1954. She also spent a year
in Paris, studying at the Sorbonne. In 1965, after retiring from
Metropolitan Life, she taught typing and shorthand in Ottawa
high schools until 1979, insisting on the same high standards
she had learned 40 years earlier.
"Manners, posture and politeness were demanded of all students.
Those daring enough to chew gum in class were forced to place
it on their noses," said Mr.
DENT.
An avid world traveller, Mrs.
COUGHLIN first visited her husband's
grave at Scapa Flow in 1951. She returned nine times, the last
in 2000. Making more than 50 trips outside North America, she
also went to New York and Halifax to revisit the familiar sights
she'd shared so briefly with him.
Mrs. COUGHLIN liked rereading the hundreds of letters her husband
wrote during their courtship and the war. On March 16, she suffered
a stroke and was hospitalized. A family member fetched some photos
of her husband so she could look at them one more time. It gave
her great comfort.
Martha
Hazel
Dent
COUGHLIN was born March 4, 1914, in Ottawa.
She died May 2, 2008, in Ottawa of natural causes. She was 94.
She is survived by nieces and nephews.

through with this by attending North Bay Normal School (Teacher's
College). In 1936 she began teaching at Pleasant Valley, then Long
Bay and Sandfield schools on Manitoulin. In 1943 she moved to
Windsor, Ontario and spent the rest of her long teaching career
there until her retirement in about 1980. She taught Kindergarten at
Begley School for ten years and during those years she also attended
night school and summer school classes at Wayne State University in
Detroit, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education
degree in 1956 and a Master of Education degree in 1959. Then she
became a primary reading consultant for Essex County. Her next move
was to the Windsor Teacher's College where she was a Master of
Primary English courses. When the Teacher's College affiliated with
the University of Windsor in 1970 Jennie became a Professor with the
Faculty of Education, a position which she held until her
retirement. During the years she also taught many night school and
summer school courses in various locations between Toronto and
Windsor. Her retirement years were spent in Toronto, Kelowna, BC and
Cambridge. Cremation has taken place, arrangements made by Barthel
Funeral Home in Cambridge. A Memorial Service will be held at a
