KERSELL,
Marnie (née
RUTHERFORD)
Marnie KERSELL was born on November 11, 1926. Her parents were
Thomas Warriner
RUTHERFORD and Rosalind Jane
WITTON.
Marnie had
two sisters, Gay
KIMPEL and Jane
HANSULD.
She grew up in a happy
home on Lansdowne Rd. in Galt and met and fell in love with her
future husband, George, at Galt Collegiate. They were married
for 58 years and shared many interests and Friends. They were
truly partners for life.
Marnie was loved, respected and admired by her three daughters,
Mary, (Graham
CALDWELL,)
Jane
(David
SPARLING) and Ann (Paul
RIDDELL, deceased.) She had a very close and warm relationship
with her grandchildren, Anna and Scott Caldwell, Beth, Laura,
Julie and Cam Sparling and Christine, Grace and Jimmy Riddell.
Her family recognized and appreciated Marnie's many talents and
accomplishments. She was an extraordinary woman and, like so
many women of her generation, she was a strong, independent thinker,
a problem solver and a person who was never daunted by the task
at hand.
She was a Phys. Ed. grad from the University of Toronto and was
a talented athlete. She was an avid curler at the Galt Curling
Club for many years and won the Ontario Mixed Curling Championship
in 1962 and the Ladies' Tankard in 1965. Although she enjoyed
all sports, golf was her passion. Over the years, she won 24 club
championships both here, at the Galt Country Club, and
in Florida.
She was a member of the four person Ontario Senior Ladies' Team,
which won the National Championship in Victoria in 1993. During
her golfing career, Marnie had 9 holes-in-one, and shot her age
three times. Marnie loved family time and especially enjoyed
summers on Georgian Bay. She spent her youth cottaging at Pointe
au Baril and later she, George and Gay and Doug
KIMPEL built
a cottage just up the shore on an island at Bayfield Inlet. Marnie
never lost her enthusiasm for swimming, diving, canoeing, blueberrying
and fishing. She and George also loved their winters in Florida
and entertained many family members and Friends there over the
years.
Marnie was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend.
She led a happy, fulfilled life. She died on June 19, 2008. It
was very hard for us to let her go, and we will miss her greatly.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Epilepsy Ontario, the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of Ontario or the charity of one's choice
would be appreciated.
Memorial visitation will be held on Sunday, June 22, 2008 from

Activist remembered as leader
By John BARBER,
Page
A16
Federal New Democratic Party Leader Jack Layton and Mayor David
Miller took time yesterday to offer glowing eulogies for activist
and politician Allan
SPARROW, who died of cancer Wednesday in
London, Ontario, at 63.
Mr.
Layton praised Mr.
SPARROW as "a good friend, mentor and
leader" who "inspired a generation of reform-minded progressives
with ahead-of-his-time thinking on environment issues."
To Mr. Miller, Mr.
SPARROW was the unbidden angel who organized
a successful grassroots movement to halt construction of a bridge
to the island airport - the defining issue of the election that
brought him to power in 2003.
"Allan SPARROW was a tireless crusader who believed passionately
in everything he did," the mayor said, describing his career
as "an inspiration to all those who believe in the potential
of Toronto."
As a downtown alderman in the 1970s, Mr.
SPARROW was a driving
force of the reform council led by former mayor David Crombie.
But just as often he was far ahead of the pack, championing gay
rights and police accountability at a time when most considered
the mere mention of such issues to be an act of political suicide.
Despite his popularity, Mr.
SPARROW left politics in 1980 to
let George
HYSLOP,
Toronto's first gay candidate for council,
run in his place.
He returned to the business world as a consultant specializing
in information technology, but threw himself into public life
once again after he and his wife, Susan, moved to the Toronto
Islands and found themselves living below the flight path of
a massively expanded airport.
Having stopped the bridge but not the airport, the
SPARROWs moved
to Stratford, Ontario, last year.
