Died peacefully at Glenwarren Lodge, Victoria, March 26, 2012. We thank her loving caregivers at Glenwarren and at The Wellesley and her devoted physician, Dr. Stephen Starr. Edith’s family will miss her deeply and are grateful to God for the gift of her life and for her hope in Christ. Edith was predeceased by her loving husband, Bill of 58 years in 2003. Edith is survived by her sister, Eileen McAuley of Windsor ON; three children, Maggie (Vancouver), Robert (Outremont QC) and Rev. Dr. Ian (Cathy) (Victoria BC); nine grandchildren Kristin, Stefan (Jiyoung) and Kurt Skjaevestad; Anna (Nick Korfage), Luke and Emily (Gino Capozzi) Victor and Dan, (Jennifer) Rachel and Letha Victor. Edith also had seven great-grandchildren, Aleïa, Beau, Benji, Alice, Andrew, Eva and Lukas. Edith was raised in Chatham, Windsor and Toronto and married Bill in 1945 following his military service and her nursing training. Married life took them to Toronto and Montreal, where Edith nursed in psychiatry and cherished her involvement and leadership in Christian fellowship groups, especially the “Discovery Group” in Beaconsfield, QC. After 18 happy retirement years together in Kingston, Bill died and Edith moved shortly thereafter to Victoria, BC to be closer to family.
A Service of Witness to the Resurrection will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Victoria (Douglas and Broughton) on Saturday, March 31 at 1:00 p.m. A reception will follow. Memorial donations made to Presbyterian World Service and Development, 50 Wynford Dr., Toronto, ON, M3C 1J7 would be appreciated. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
