BOURGEOIS,
Freda
Wife, mother, oma, aunt, friend, entrepreneur, volunteer, hostess
extraordinaire. Born January 27, 1927, near Starbuck, Manitoba
Died October 28 in Ottawa of endometrial cancer, aged 80.
By Paulette
BOURGEOIS and Natalie
URQUHART and Gordon
URQUHART,
Page L6
Freda BOURGEOIS lived life large with big ideas, big hugs and
a big freezer full of baking ready to share with family and Friends
or anyone who happened to drop by.
Her determination - some might say stubbornness - was forged
during the Depression. Freda was only 6 when her mother died.
Her father, a stern, pious, Russian Mennonite homesteader, soon
married the widow from the next farm. The family now numbered
eight, and Freda did her chores, helped feed the farm hands and
scrubbed the floors.
Freda was born with crossed eyes. The family couldn't afford
medical care and by the time she had surgery, her right eye was
blind and reading was a challenge. This only made her more tenacious.
In a favourite "olden-days" story told to her grandchildren,
she refused to accept that at Mennonite school only boys raced.
Freda rolled down her socks, tucked her skirt into her bloomers
and ran, as she said, like the wind. She won.
Freda left the farm at 17 and headed to Winnipeg, where she worked
at Moore's Business Forms. In the summer of 1947, she caught
the eye of her girlfriend's date at the roller rink. Matt and
Freda married two years later.
She worked as a cashier at Safeway while Matt finished a commerce
degree and became a chartered accountant. With two daughters,
the family followed Matt's career in the federal government,
living in Winnipeg, Calgary, Ottawa and Beaconsfield, Quebec
Freda became an accomplished seamstress, milliner, Girl Guides
leader and adult educator. Avid square-dancers, the couple do-si-doed
across Canada.
In Beaconsfield, Freda joined forces with Myfanwy Sinclair to
start Bouclair House of Fabrics. The successful business was
work and fun. When it was sold and Freda followed Matt back to
Ottawa, she began Freda's Sewing Services.
Matt "retired" in 1982 to Haiti, and later Jamaica, as a tax
adviser, and Freda plunged into these worlds. They returned to
Canada in 1997.
The grandchildren remember their oma for her cinnamon buns on
Christmas mornings, back tickles, foot rubs, handmade quilts,
her love of leopard prints, scary driving (she was foot-to-the-floor
and blind in one eye), big rings and even bigger hugs.
At the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa
Hospital, she brought food and comfort to cancer patients even
while she was ill.
One doctor said Freda was the most elegant sick lady he knew.
On her last day, Freda painted her nails, put on red lipstick,
smiled and said goodbye. She promised Matt she'd leave a forwarding
address.
Paulette BOURGEOIS is Freda's daughter, and Natalie and Gordon
URQUHART are her grandchildren.

URQUHART,
Ronald
George
Adventurer, veterinarian, chef, volunteer, consummate family
man. Born August 17, 1938, in Wainwright, Alberta. Died February 16
in Toronto of an infection, aged 69.
By Diana URQUHART,
Page L6
As a teen, Ron was a paperboy, stocked grocery shelves and worked
at a plant nursery. But working as a trail guide at Arrowhead
horse ranch near Collingwood, Ontario, was best of all.
He bought a red, 16-foot Peterborough canoe with his first major
paycheque; that canoe still hangs from the beams in the family
room. When Ron was outdoors, being challenged and spending time
with others, he was happy.
After graduating from the University of Guelph's Ontario Veterinary
College in 1962, Ron worked in Saskatchewan in animal husbandry.
In 1963, he married Diana
PATTERSON, whom he had met on campus
in Guelph. Four children quickly followed: Karen, Susan, David
and Brent. To be at home more he turned to pathology, eventually
helping design and manage a new government laboratory in Regina.
In 1970, the Ontario government headhunted Ron to help draft
and manage the Animals for Research Act. He found himself commuting
in a suit to endless indoor meetings. The federal government
seconded him to observe the Canadian seal hunt; the people, animals
and environment fascinated him. In time he happily demoted himself
to inspector of the Toronto Zoo, universities and horse camps.
At 54, he retired. So much to do, so little time.
Life was never dull. Who could forget the white van he converted
for camping trips and its successor, a green school bus, that
took the family across Canada, coast to coast. Ron always preferred
a tent to a fancy hotel, and their home was often filled with
guests.
In retirement Ron completed a cooking diploma, instructed aquafit
classes, led Bruce Trail hikes and guided backpacking expeditions
in Peru, the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon. Travels with Diana
included Antarctica, the Arctic, Australasia, the Queen Charlotte
Islands, China and India. They could travel light but their home
filled with souvenirs - a didgeridoo, antique snowshoes, ancestral
pictures.
Ron delighted in his collapsible kayak, his GPS and his iPod.
Working part-time at Mountain Equipment Co-op, he spent twice
what he earned there on what his children called "Dad's gear
and toys." Passions came and went - house renovations, photography,
winemaking. He went to golf school in Florida so often the school
dedicated a week in his honour when he died. A recent passion
was genealogy: Ron traced his roots to John
URQUHART, a shoemaker
in Canada in 1833, and then went to Scotland to find more relatives.
The family, six grandkids included, camped together last summer
at Silent Lake, Ontario We hear him still: "Try it. Do it. You
can." And we shall.
Diana URQUHART is Ron's wife.

Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, world traveller, singer,

Scotland. Died February 5 in Toronto of old age, aged 100.

Ann
Urquhart
Davies Clyne
McKAY lived for 50 years in Aberdeen
and 50 years in Toronto.
Early life wasn't easy for Ann, known as Annie. Her mother, Mary
CLYNE, lost her leg at 4 when she was run over by a horse and
cart, yet she managed to raise Annie and her two sisters (a third
sister died at eight months old.) Hugh
URQUHART,
Annie's father,
was a Gordon Highlander who fought in the Boer War.
Annie married Frank
McKAY in her teens and gave birth to four
children: Nan, Francis, Hugh and Ronald. Sadly, she was widowed
at the age of 47. Two years later, she and Ronald immigrated
to Canada.
Those first years in Toronto were difficult for Annie and Ron,
having no job skills or family nearby. Annie moved between jobs,
then was delighted to be hired by Connaught Laboratories, where
she remained a devoted employee, sterilizing lab equipment, until
her retirement.
Motivated by a strong desire to visit her son Francis in New
Zealand, Annie babysat in the evenings for extra money to pay
the fare. She was forever grateful to the travel agent who advised
her to go by ship from San Francisco on a world cruise, calling
in at all the exotic places she never thought she would see.
She got off the ship at one port in Japan, travelled with a fellow
passenger the length of the country by train and caught up with
the boat at another port. While staying several months with her
son and his family, Annie worked in a dress shop to help finance
more travel in New Zealand. One of the highlights of her trip
was joining a much younger group of people to walk the arduous
Milford Track.
Annie loved singing old Scottish songs and hymns. She was quick-witted
and funny, and always lightened the mood. Who could forget her
description of bathing without a bathtub in Scotland: "First
you wash down as far as possible, then you wash up as far as
possible, and then you wash possible."
Although she wasn't happy about compulsory retirement, Annie
travelled when she could, returning twice to New Zealand, to
Scotland many times, and
to Florida every year. She had 13 grandchildren
and 14 great-grandchildren.
Annie loved to walk through her neighbourhood. In her 80s, while
out on her daily walk, she was hit by a car. With both legs and
her pelvis broken, the prognosis wasn't good. The doctors didn't
think she would survive surgery, and didn't operate for three
days. But survive she did, and lived to travel more, to Scotland,
London, Paris and Daytona Beach, Florida Despite several small
strokes in her 90s, Annie celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded
by family and Friends.
Georgina ABELA and Nellemarie
HYDE are Annie's cousins.

URSELL,
Irene
Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, died in the early morning
hours of Tuesday, March 18, 2008. She was born in Moose Jaw,
Saskatchewan, on January 20, 1917, into a Scottish-Italian family
of nine children. She was particularly close to her sisters Grace
and Anne. She married Barry
URSELL on April 2, 1942, and they
were kept apart in the early years of their marriage because
of World War 2. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary
last July with family and Friends and would have celebrated their
66th anniversary in a few weeks. Family members were with her
when she died, all of them listening to her favorite music. Irene
devoted much of her life to raising seven children, Geoffrey
(Barbara); Greg (Marilyn) and their children, Stephanie and Michael
Gary (Helen), and their children Meaghan and Emily; Patricia
Kathy (Ted), and their children Melissa, Matthew, and Meredith
Janice; and George (Joanne), and their children Jennifer, Shaun,
Bryan, and Robert. They will always remember and treasure her
encouragement and love. Her children particularly recall the
work she did to make their summer holidays in Waskesiu memorable.
Somehow, Irene found time to volunteer with both the Imperial
Order of the Daughters of the Empire and the Things Shop of the
Royal Winnipeg Ballet Women's Committee. She was an active member
of Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire for over fifty
years, serving in many roles, including Provincial Regent. She
was a Lifelong Member at both provincial and national levels.
Her love of ballet and music pervaded her life. Perhaps, she
got her enthusiasm for opera from her Italian heritage. A particular
highlight was seeing Leontyne Price at Covent Garden. In a previous
life, she recently said, she imagined she had been an opera singer
in a next life, she imagined being a visual artist. She loved
to draw. She also partnered her husband in mixed doubles in badminton,
winning Saskatchewan Provincial Championships. And she was a
passionate bowler, active into her sixties. She played hearts,
bridge, cribbage, and Scrabble intensely- and she didn't take
losing easily. Irene's family would like to thank Doctor David Szwajcer
and nurse Jennifer Fisher-Cote for their compassionate care.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 22, at 11: 00 a.m.
at Thomson Funeral Home, 669 Broadway in Winnipeg.
Friends wishing to celebrate her memory may make donations to
the Canadian Wildlife Federation at 1-800-563-9453 or 350 Michael
