It is with deep love and sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Janet Elizabeth Middleton III on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at Beach Grove Home in Charlottetown. She passed peacefully, surrounded by care and compassion.

She took great pride in her work and in the connections she built there.

 

Above all else, Janet’s greatest joy was her family. She was a loving daughter, a dedicated mother, a proud grandmother, and a caring aunt.

"Find pleasure not in my work, but in nature’s beauty which inspires me to portray it." ~ K.W. Spearing

 

The death occurred peacefully at home on Monday, January 26, 2026, of Kenneth W. “Ken” Spearing of Stratford, age 81 years. Beloved partner of Rhoda Martin, father of Tracey Woods, grandfather of Jayda and Jenna, brother of Anita June Duckenfield and brother-in-law of Valerie Spearing. Fondly remembered by niece, nephews, and extended family. Predeceased by his parents William and Norma (Pratt) Spearing, brother Glen Spearing, and brother-in-law Terry Duckenfield.

 

A native of Hants County, Nova Scotia, Ken developed a deep love and appreciation of nature and wildlife at an early age. As a child and into his late teens, Ken raised a wide variety of unusual pets much to the dismay of his family and neighbours. Included in his menagerie were hawks, owls, racoons, foxes, crows, pigeons and wild rabbits.

 

His love of family was evident every day. Ken always wanted to keep up with what everyone was doing. Although many of the family were separated by geography, he still tried to keep in touch.

 

Ken and his family moved to Ontario when he was about six years old. Ken received his formal education as a chemical engineer at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, Toronto, Ontario. He had a wide-ranging career in his chosen engineering field based in Ontario. Ken was involved in several iconic Canadian engineering projects including the Avro Arrow and the Canadian Naval Hydrofoil HMCS Bras d’Or. Ken travelled the world as an engineer and was even considered to be an ‘expert witness’ where he used his expertise to assist in legal issues.

 

Ken retired from his engineering career at an early age as he wanted to pursue his life-long love of creating art full-time. Ken returned to Nova Scotia to live and work as an artist. He was also a renowned mural artist, especially well known for his murals in Windsor, NS. While living and working in Nova Scotia, Ken also travelled to Europe many times to paint. He loved the time he spent there so much and gained wide recognition there.

 

He moved to PEI in 2016 and continued working as a professional artist here, first in Charlottetown and then in Stratford. His favourite medium was oil and working with a palette knife. In his life Ken produced everything from huge murals to tiny little paintings but all done with love and connection to the work. Many of his works were framed by his own hand, creating his own brand of frames machined in his workshop. He loved to paint outside on location so he could be close to the nature that he loved so dearly.

 

In addition to his art, Ken had a love of archery which he shared with his father. Together they created many wooden bows as they were both skilled craftsmen. His love of traditional archery remained constant throughout his life. Ken was a member of the PEI Archery Association, West Covehead as well as being a former member of several archery clubs in Nova Scotia. He continued to build his own bows over the years and loved to share his knowledge of the sport with all archers.

 

One of his other creative loves was wood carving. Ken was a member of the PEI Wildfowl Carvers Association. He loved to carve local birds, especially shore birds. His love and knowledge of various types of wood shows in all his work.

 

Ken was also a skilled artisan carpenter. He restored old houses, designed and built new homes. His wealth of knowledge extended from roofs to basements and all things in between. He had his own cabinetry business at one time as well.

 

Ken had a big spirit and love of life. He so enjoyed talking with people – those he knew and those he just met. His outgoing personality and sense of humour were so infectious, people simply gravitated to him. He loved to talk with children of all ages and was never happier than helping them on their life path. He also loved to teach art to many age groups over the years and was always supportive in other’s artistic endeavours.

 

Ken was a member of Zion Presbyterian Church, Charlottetown. He was a former member of the church’s Board of Trustees. He loved to help with projects around the church and he loved to chat with friends there both old and new.

 

Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. No visitation or service by personal request. A celebration of Ken’s life will be held at a later date. If so desired, memorial donations may be made directly to the PEI Humane Society or Queens Palliative Home Care. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com
