WITHERS,
Eileen
Anne (née
TRAYNOR)
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing
of Eileen WITHERS, after a short and courageous battle with lung
cancer. On Friday, June 13th, she died peacefully with her husband
and two children by her side in hospital in Halifax, age 61.
A woman whose journey through life blended several families in
many locations, including homes in Scotland, England, Gatineau
in Quebec, Ottawa, Halifax, Toronto and finally retirement in
Windsor,
Nova
Scotia. Daughter of proud parents Harry
TRAYNOR
and Katherine (née
GILL) of Halifax. Beloved wife and best friend
of Thomas (Ted)
WITHERS. Cherished mother of Sarah (Keith
BENNETT,
Toronto) and Adam
MAHONEY
(Kendra
HURSHMAN, Windsor.) Dear stepmother
of Rob MAHONEY (Tracey
SLITER, Ottawa), Paul
WITHERS (Judy
MYRDEN,
Halifax) and Carolyn (Andy
HEARD, Salt Spring Island, British
Columbia). Precious sister of Ian (Ottawa) and Gordon (Halifax),
she was predeceased by her sister Christine (Bryan
UNSWORTH,
York). Eileen will be sadly missed by her extended family and
Friends in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and throughout Canada.
Born in Greenock, Scotland, her family moved to England before
she started school. An avid sportswoman and student, tennis and
grass-hockey were balanced by studying mathematics and chemistry,
eventually completing an honours degree in Economics at the University
of London. In 1968, shortly after arriving in Canada, she realized
that her French skills, learned in England, were not sufficient
so she enrolled in a French ski school. That way, she could learn
to ski and speak French at the same time. Her strong work ethic
and commitment to efficiency helped propel her into senior policy
roles in several federal government departments, and trade negotiator
for International Trade Commission. Eileen was truly a remarkable
and multifaceted woman whose interests included her pets, wine
making and antiques. Always fond of puzzles and games, the complexity
of duplicate bridge enchanted her. She was a Life Master, certified
as both a director and teacher. She also judged competitive debating
teams. A collector by nature she attended estate auctions most
weekends. Travel often centred around a theme, first bridge tournaments,
then 'collecting' state capital domes in the United States, and
finally, viewing paintings by Vermeer in museums around the world.
Her love of art was shared with Ted. In recent years, her generosity
led her to volunteer with seniors at the Windsor Elms, especially
in the Palliative Care Unit. An active member of her church,
she was a Eucharistic Minister. Funeral mass and celebration
of life were held in Windsor, Nova Scotia In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or your
local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal
Shelter. Private messages of condolence can be made in the 'Guest
Book' at: www.familycare.ca She met each challenge in her path
with grace and wisdom and it was the gift of herself that she
gave to others.

SOLTYS,
Taras
Paul
Entrepreneur, father, son, brother, Orange Revolutionary. Born
December 24, 1955, in Toronto. Died October 18, 2007, in Toronto
of cancer, aged 51
By Alexandra
CHYCZIJ,
Page L8
In the 1970s, Taras knocked on our door and asked for my sister
Irene. Sensing a serious suitor, I proceeded to cross-examine
him, perhaps a little too aggressively for a first encounter.
He was born and raised in Toronto, the
son of Stephanie and Michael
SOLTYS and older brother of Dianne
WITIUK.
Taras survived my questioning, and soon he joined our weekly
ski excursions in Collingwood, Ontario On the ski slopes, Taras
initially made up in speed what he lacked in style. He developed
a passion for skiing that he shared with his children, Chrystyna
and Paul, who even persuaded him to try snowboarding.
When it came to children, Taras was a natural. He handled small
babies with the same ease with which he held a football.
Taras combined his love of kids with his constant quest for new
adventures by organizing a road trip across Ukraine with his
children and two of their cousins. Taras, with four teenagers
in tow, contended with everything from bears to kropyvo, a particularly
nasty stinging nettle.
Ukraine's independence made Taras a pioneer in early joint ventures,
equipped as he was with Canadian know-how and familiarity with
the Ukrainian language and culture.
He is remembered by his associates at Consumers-Sklo-Zorya, his
first venture in Ukraine, not only for the work ethic he instilled
in them but for introducing them to the concept of charitable
giving. The Charity Cash Cow Club he founded provided many low-income
families with a cow, which offered sustenance during the transition
from a Soviet economy.
Even though he often faced insurmountable odds, Taras never succumbed
to the temptation of taking the easy road by smoothing the way
with a little baksheesh. He was committed to the goal of ensuring
that democratic principles and the rule of law become firmly
entrenched in Ukraine.
Taras was an observer during the Orange Revolution, monitoring
all three rounds of the 2004 presidential elections in the Crimea,
an area he knew well from his most recent project in the oil
business.
As he battled cancer, we shared the poignant memory of standing
on Kiev's Independence Square singing Ukraine's national anthem
along with hundreds of thousands of others.
Taras's hopes and expectations for reform following the Orange
Revolution have yet to be fulfilled. But his greatest legacy
is his children. Whenever we see in Chrystyna and Paul a familiar
gentle smile or raised eyebrow, or hear a certain tone of voice
or laugh, it will remind us of the person we loved and will always
miss.
Alexandra CHYCZIJ is Taras's sister-in-law.

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
2-4 p.m. at Coutts Funeral Home, 96 St. Andrews Street, Cambridge.
