In Marg's own words "I came from a political family, may oldest
brother was the first Mayor of Allen Park, Michigan. The youngest
brother was Mayor of Parry Sound. Not much to gossip at the dinner
table. Congratulating or criticizing politicians was the topic.
I attributed my successes in politics, as in life, as being a
good listener. I would realize immediately when someone knew
more about a subject and I would pick their brains. One of my
favourite reporters was the late Jim Norton. One day I received
a copy of a remark I made that had hit the Sarnia Observer. "Right
On" had been written on it. I was very pleased to receive praise
from Jim Norton. A month or so later I got another note with
an article attached and the note said "Marg you are out in left
field" ". Margaret was actively involved in Church and community.
She was twice President of Saint_Joseph's C.W.L. Friends will be

Aubrey KERR on February 19, 2008 at the age of 92. Predeceased

of Ernie (Louise
MARSHALL /

to Stewart (Tonia
KEIZER,)
Mathew
(Autumn
PEER fiancee,) Jennifer,
and Amy PILLING, great-grandfather to Brendan, Ty and Dominic.
He leaves his loving brother Professor Donald Peter (Ruth
HIGGINS
deceased). Aubrey was born in Orillia, November 29, 1915. He
attended Oakwood Collegiate in Toronto. Following studies at
the University of Toronto he enrolled in the graduate program
at U.B.C. (Vancouver) obtaining his M.A. (Geology) in 1942. Immediately
following this he was recruited by Imperial Oil as part of Canada's
war effort to search for oil in Southern Alberta. After years
of exploration with Aubrey as field geologist, Leduc 'blew in'
February 13, 1947, changing the course of Canadian history, making
Alberta a major player in the world oil market. In 1959 Aubrey
was chosen by the National Energy Board as Chief Geologist and
the family moved to Ottawa. Following success in the capital
he retired and returned to Calgary in 1975. He turned his attention
to an intense study of the history of Alberta's oil industry
by collecting and documenting a wealth of information. He interviewed
and taped many 'oil patch' personalities leaving a large collection
to the Glenbow Museum Archives, Calgary. All of this culminated
in eight great books (including Leduc, Redwater and Atlantic #3).
In 1998 he received an honourary Doctors degree from the University
of Calgary and was inducted into the Petroleum Hall of Fame in
Leduc. He participated in numerous professional organizations
including the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
and Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists
of Alberta. He was involved in the Anglican church. Both he and
Elsie enjoyed annual escapes from the -30 degree weather to visit
Barbados and Victoria. He continued to be involved with his writing
even to his ninety-first year. The family wish to thank the staff
of Trinity Lodge, Calgary for their decisive professional actions
and care as well as the outstanding medical staff of the Rockyview
Hospital, Calgary. Service at Anglican Christ Church Calgary

LEDDY,
Rita
Theresa
On June 18th Rita passed from this life after a brave and graceful
two and a half year struggle with cancer. She died at Saint Michael's
Hospital in Toronto, the place where she had trained as a nurse,
worked as a nursing supervisor and where she met her husband,
Dr. John Edward
LEDDY. Soon after their marriage in 1940 Rita
and Jack each offered their medical services in the war effort
in Europe. Rita worked in England as part of the British Civil
Nursing Services. After the war they settled in Saskatoon and
raised their three children: Mary Jo, Jennifer and Michael (Eileen).
In Saskatoon, Rita became the elegant hostess of many parties
and a hard-working member of several civic organizations. She
was particularly committed to the Catholic Women's League and
the Saint Paul's Hospital Auxiliary. After the death of her husband
in 1991, Rita returned to Toronto where she had 'troops of Friends'
and continued her many interests while finding new ways of ser
ving the community, especially with Meals on Wheels and the Ecumenical
Day of Prayer. She was a true renaissance woman and was known
as something of an expert on the Bloomsbury Group. She was always
open to new adventures. For many, she became a luminous example
of how to age gracefully with wit and humour. Rita is survived
by her three children and four grandchildren: Shannon, Connor,
Brendan and James
LEDDY.
She will be greatly missed by her cousins
Kitty HIGGINS and Mary Agnes
McINTYRE as well as by her Friends
of all ages and backgrounds. Rita was predeceased by her father
Jeremiah WILKINSON, her mother Mary Jane
CARR, her step-father
François Regis
HERVIEUX, her sister and four brothers and her
uncle, Rev. Henry
CARR, CSB, whom she spoke of with great
affection as a 'best friend.' Rita had a great devotion to Blessed
John Henry Newman, and the prayer below, composed by him, was
one she knew by heart.
May He support us all the day long till the shades lengthen and
the evening comes and the busy world is hushed and the fever
of life is over and our work is done. Then, in His mercy, may
he give us a safe lodging and a holy rest and peace at the last.
The family is grateful to the doctors and nurses at the Princess
Margaret, Saint_Joseph's and Saint Michael's hospitals who accompanied
and served her these last 2½ years. Visitation at Rosar-Morrison
Funeral Home, 467 Sherbourne St at Wellesley, on Sunday, June 22
between 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. (prayers and memories at 8: 00 p.m.).

YAKOWENKO,
Joseph
William
In his 84th year, passed away Saturday, March 29, 2008, at Parkwood
Hospital in London, Ontario. Joe was born in Poland in 1924 and
moved to Canada when he was 5 years old. Upon graduation from
Beal Technical Institute in London, Joe enlisted in the Canadian
Navy. He served aboard HMCS Haida and
HMCS Trentonian.
In February 1945, his ship was torpedoed by a German submarine.
17 hours in the North Atlantic before being rescued must have
seemed like an eternity, but it wasn't Joe's time to go; after
the war he settled back in London where he married Jean
DONE
and raised three children. Joe worked at Leigh Metal and then
Emco, as a millwright. At age 60, Joe retired. He continued his
regular trips to Las Vegas and Florida, where he loved nothing
more than to play the slots and walk on the beach early in the
morning. After a series of strokes Joe was moved to Parkwood
hospital 3 years ago where he was surrounded by other Canadian
Veterans who served their country well. Joe will be sadly missed
but never forgotten by his devoted wife of 60 years, Jean and
his loving children, Joanne
HIGMAN
(Jim) and
Dennis
(Sue) of
London, and Sharon
NURSALL
(Tom) of Los Angeles. Grandpa will
also be missed by his five grandchildren, Jaimie and Virginia
HIGMAN,
Dakota
YAKOWENKO, and Sam and Katie
NURSALL. Predeceased
by parents John and Frances
YAKOWENKO and 4 sisters. Special thanks
to all the wonderfully caring staff at Parkwood Hospital, 4B West.
It was Joe's wish that he be cremated. A Memorial Service to
Celebrate Joe's Life will be held on Tuesday, April 8, 2008,
at 9: 00 a.m. in the Parkwood Hospital, Chapel of the Good Shepherd,
801 Commissioners Rd. E. (Please use parking lot #3). Evans Funeral
Home, 648 Hamilton Road, (519) 451-9350, entrusted with arrangements.
Online condolences can be expressed at www.evansfh.ca A tree
