Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Ah ... But what is to be.

 

Audrey Florence DeBlois Volesky spent the first 13 years of her life and the last 3 years on Prince Edward Island. Born on June 3, 1927 to the late Noel Hamlyn DeBlois and Gerda Clairmont Taylor. Audrey had a wonderful childhood of stomping ice cakes, summers at the cottage playing tennis, golf and listening to Davis Cup on the radio. But at the age of thirteen the “wanderlust” that would be the beacon throughout her life took hold. In 1940 she left Prince Edward Island and went to Netherwood for four wonderful years of sports and academics. Then onto McGill for a degree in History where Audrey would readily admit that she learnt more at “Miss Harrison’s” (a women’s residence on Pine Str in Montreal) about life and the world.

 

In the early 1950’s Audrey travelled in her Austin Mini throughout post war Europe where her love of history grew and widened. She also developed her impeccable skiing style on the Hannehkahm in Kitzbuel with her good friend Jane Mackeen. Her two years working in London, England cemented her lifelong friendship with Dorothy Harley Eber “her wisest and dearest friend of 73 years” who died on August 16, 2022. Returning to Montreal she started her career in public relations working with Irene Kon – a great mentor and communist who introduced Audrey to her future husband – Jan Volesky a young textile engineer from the Czech Republic. In June, 1958 Audrey and Jan married in Montevideo, Uruguay and so commenced a 55 year adventure that encompassed three continents, seven countries, the birth of two children and numerous entrepreneurial and volunteer activities.

 

Audrey leaves her younger sister Norah Henry “the good Samaritan”; Patricia Samson “the organizer”; Pat Prowse “with the Madonna smile” and Anne Bradford “with the most beautiful golf swing” her son and his family Blake (Cheryl), two grandchildren Karena and Julian and her daughter, Jane as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their families spread out around the globe. Audrey was predeceased by her husband Jan Volesky, her older brother Thomas (Mary) DeBlois, older sister Beryl Fraser, brother-in-law Dr. John Henry and nephew Tom DeBlois “young Tom” and her best friend Dorothy Harley Eber.

 

Those who knew Audrey well will remember her as a woman of honest and forthright opinions, decisive in times of urgency, supportive in times of need and above all else a woman who had an insatiable curiosity about the world around her.

The complications were simply too great.

 

Paula Cecelia (MacDonald) Likely passed peacefully away at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, surrounded by her family.

 

Born on January 1, 1955, Paula was the eldest child of Phyllis (Hughes) and the late Frank MacDonald. Educated at the Parkdale School and Charlottetown Rural High School, Paula went on to earn a Commerce degree from Dalhousie University. Paula then moved to Toronto for several years where she worked before returning home to Charlottetown, where she found work in the office of a food wholesaler.

 

Out for a Friday night, Paula met a young broadcaster and the two soon fell in love. Paula and Frank Likely were married on July 28, 1984. Paula had married a broadcaster, but within a year, Paula and Frank had given up their careers as Frank followed a new call to ordained ministry. Life with a clergy member is often not easy, but Paula’s devotion and support for her husband was unwavering.

 

In 1992, Paula and Frank welcomed their only child Stephen, and from then on Paula’s focus in life was her son. When Stephen entered elementary school, Paula volunteered as the Librarian at Stephen’s school, a role she continued until Stephen progressed to high school. Literacy, especially among young people, was one of her passions. Any child’s gift from her always included at least one book, and she always had several books on hand from the library for herself.

 

Paula enjoyed travelling, and always looked forward to the family’s “almost annual” trip to Quebec City. Travel was education for Paula, and she always made sure to take Stephen to places and experiences which provided new learnings. Watching Stephen grow into the person he is today and celebrating all his accomplishments gave Paula the utmost pride and joy.

 

Her kindness extended well beyond her family. In addition to her work with Stephen’s schools, Paula was an enthusiastic supporter of many community groups and activities, including volunteering with the local Junior hockey team and canvassing for various charities.

 

Paula is survived by her husband Frank Likely, with whom she shared a birthday, their son Stephen (Lindsay Hodd), her mother Phyllis, siblings Mark (Joanne), Austin (Kathleen), Leah (Gary Kilbride), and Lorena (the late Rick Howard), her Likely brothers-in-law David (Carole), George (Jenny), Bob (Nettie), and John (Sandra), as well as many nephews, nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces, and one great-grand-nephew.

 

A time of visitation will be held on Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel in Charlottetown, PEI, followed by the funeral liturgy. Committal will follow at the Sherwood Cemetery.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to programs supporting children’s literacy, or as Paula would encourage you to do, buying a book for a child in your life. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com

It is with heavy hearts the family of H. Elizabeth “Betty” Blake announce her passing on November 10, 2022, at the age of 91 years. Grammy Betty, as she was fondly known, will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her beloved husband of 70 years, Maurice V. Blake, their two daughters Helen (Douglas Gaudet), and Elizabeth (Peter Toombs), and her grandchildren Josh Toombs (Amanda Gallant), Emily Blake-Whitrow (Jeffrey Whitrow), Jessica Toombs (Michael Zipp). She will also be fondly remembered by Mark Gaudet, and JD Gaudet (Lauren Sharpe and great-granddaughter Raffi) of Ontario. Betty was predeceased by her parents Reagh Horne and Helen MacLean of Brookfield PEI, her beloved brother, Pilot John “Bud” Horne, infant son, John Maurice Blake, and her sister, Margaret Horne.

 

Betty was born at home on August 27, 1931, on the Horne Cross Road in Winslow PEI. She often spoke about her adventures of growing up on the farm with her family; we all knew she was very much a farm girl at heart.

 

Betty was well known for her involvement with the church, her community, and in numerous volunteer activities such as being one of the first drivers for Pat Rogers and the Elephant. She helped start the Nancy Green Ski School at Brookvale Ski Park, was involved with the PEI MS Society, IODE, Red Cross Blood Donors, the Go-Getters Club at the Prince Edward Home, and the St. Peters Cathedral Lady’s Auxiliary (Binny Group) to name a few. For many years Betty and Maurice also made a great team delivering Meals on Wheels throughout Charlottetown. In recognition for Betty’s tremendous community and volunteer involvement she was awarded the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in 2000. However, her family and many others would dare say that Betty was best known as the “Witch of Villa Avenue” with her scary Halloween decorations and homemade fudge, that young and old enjoyed for generations.

 

We would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Mount Continuing Care Community; their care and support over the past few years has been a comfort to us all.

 

Resting at the MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Funeral Thursday from St. Peter’s Cathedral at 11:00 a.m. A private interment will be held in the Peoples Cemetery.

With great sorrow the family of Donald R. Livingstone C.M. announce his passing on Wednesday, September 28th, 2022 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, PEI. Beloved husband to Sheryl, father of David (Cathy), Steven (Kathy), and Scott (Joyce). Grampy to Colin (Megan), Steven (Samantha), Matthew (Jenine), Robert (Kathleen), Carter (Sydney), Charlotte (James), Kaitlin, and Joshua (Meade). Great Grampie to Russell, Louisa, Arthur, Romy, Alana, Emily, Mayme and Athena.

 

Don was born in Charlottetown, May 31st, 1934, to Wilfred and Olive Livingstone and lived his 88 years on the Island where his sense of duty extended far beyond that of his family. The responsibility he felt to both his community and country is clearly demonstrated by his lifelong service to a wide array of organizations whose mandate it was to improve the lives of all citizens but especially those in need. By providing support and offering a path through which people could learn the skills to empower themselves, the effects of his contributions will extend well beyond his long life. In an effort to respect the modest man he is, we will try to give a brief summary of his efforts over the years.

 

His longest standing commitment was to Scouts Canada, starting that journey in 1942 taking him all the way to February of 2022 which ended only due to declining health. During his time with the Scouts, he worked to help innumerable youth acquire the skills to better not only their own lives but those within their communities and country as well. Several notable accomplishments within Scouts Canada included starting new cub and scout packs when the community of Bunbury was first founded, integral roles in at least 9 Canadian and World Jamborees, receiving the King’s Scout Badge from Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth in Charlottetown in 1951, the Medal of Merit, the Silver Acorn, Scouting’s highest honour the Silver Wolf, and both the Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals. During his time with Scouts Canada, he occupied many roles some of which included being a Cub and Scout Master, Trainer, Provincial Commissioner through to Council President.

 

Don’s working career of 43 years was with the Island Telephone Co. Ltd. He loved the company and its people and retired as President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Don’s volunteering commitments extended well beyond Scouts Canada, including the roles of Chairman of the Board of Governors of Holland College, Past President of the United Way of PEI, Director and Treasurer of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation, Director of The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts of Canada, Director of the Rotary Club of Charlottetown, Director President of Telephone Pioneers and many more. His involvement in community service didn’t end there, he was also member of such organizations as Charlottetown and Summerside Chamber of Commerce, the Island Telephone Co. Ltd. (Director), Island Nature Trust, PEI Museum & Heritage Foundation, Friends of Confederation Centre, Junior Achievement of Canada (Director), Bunbury Community Improvement Committee (Chairman), Bunbury School Board (Chairman), Local Initiatives Program Committee of Bunbury (Chairman), Southport Planning Board, Town Planning Advisory Board of Charlottetown, Protestant Children’s Home (Chairman), Charlottetown Y.M.C.A (Director), Atlantic Ventures Trust (Director) and Trinity United Church as an Elder.

 

In 1991 Don was appointed a Member of “The Order of Canada”. His family are forever grateful and awed by all he has done for them and others. We will strive to follow in his footsteps. It is safe to say that throughout all this, Donald has more than accomplished the goal of leaving the world a better place than he found it. The loss, not only to his family but, to his fellow citizens is immense and leaves a large void to be filled, we welcome the challenge and implore you to do the same. No act of kindness or service is too big nor too small, helping others helps us all. Rest easy Don/Dad/Grampie, you more than earned it, God Bless to all.

 

A service of thankfulness and remembrance for his life will be held at Trinity United Church, Charlottetown, where he was baptised and a lifetime member, on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 at 2:30 pm. Arrangements are entrusted to MacLean Funeral Home, Charlottetown, PEI. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com

Alan was the son of James Lester Douglas, MP, and Mabel (Wright), RN. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marjorie Helen (Hurst), and was a wonderful father to Peter and Alison. He will be dearly missed by his daughter-in-law, Janet Midgley, whom he adored, and his four grandchildren, Ian, Libby, Katie and Robbie of whom he was very proud. He was predeceased by his siblings, Albert Douglas (Ernestine) and Emmy Lou Jenkins (Irwin).

 

Alan had friends and family too numerous to list, with whom he enjoyed many good times and adventures, from ski trips to camping to theatre and dinners out: Lloyd and Olive Seaman; Keith and Marion Pomeroy; Charlie and Joyce Rogers; Leith and Joan Thompson; Lawson and Eileen Drake; Trevor and Muriel Hunt; Richard and Barbara Hurst, David and Janet Hurst, and then Barbara Kooy; Miriam and Jim…The list goes on.  

In particular, he will be greatly missed by his brother-in-law, nemesis and best friend, Trevor Hunt (twin sister Muriel), and nieces and nephew, Beth, Wendy and Ian, along with his many other nieces and nephews to whom he was always been “Uncle Al, the Kiddie’s Pal”.

 

Alan was very involved in his community and churches in Ottawa and was a founding member of Glen Cairn United Church and, later, an active Rotarian in Charlottetown. As well, he and good family friend, Paul Walker, coached Alison and Julie Walker’s team to become Ontario Girls’ Champions in 1980. After attending McGill University and then obtaining his PhD in statistics from Cornell University, Alan had a 35-year career with the Federal Government in Ottawa.

 

Like many men of his era, for whom marriage meant “til death do us part”, Alan patiently and lovingly cared for his wife for several years at home after a series of strokes, both in Ottawa and PEI, until her passing in March of 2011. He finally returned with Marj to their birthplace of Charlottetown 2009 to be near his children and grandchildren while he cared for Marj at home in her final years.

 

Peter and Alison would like to express their gratitude to Darlene MacGregor, Ehsher Khu, Maigan Perry and so many others at Whisperwood Villa, as well as the awesome folks at Symmetrics Health, for their extraordinary compassion, humour and care. Dad (and we) could not have gotten along without you!

It is with a sense of sadness that the family of Shirley Burdett Simmons, of Garden Home, Charlottetown, P.E.I., announce her peaceful passing on the evening of April 30, 2022.

 

Born in North Brookfield, Queens County, Nova Scotia, Shirley was the eldest daughter of the late Moody Harlow, and Joyce (March) Harlow Wight.

 

Shirley attended North Queens Rural High School in Caledonia, Queens County, Nova Scotia, and finished her high school in the former United Baptist Training School in Moncton, New Brunswick, which served as both a secondary school and as a Bible School. This institution is now Crandall University. After completing her education, Shirley moved to Halifax, N.S., where she was employed with the Government of Nova Scotia in the Dept. of Attorney General as a file clerk. Later she moved on to work for the Canadian Red Cross Services, Farmers Dairy, and in the Emergency Dept. of the V.G. Hospital as a receptionist/dispatcher, which proved to be her favourite job.

 

After moving to Prince Edward Island, and marrying Ray Simmons on February 9, 1979, Shirley worked as a dental assistant for a period of time, and as a desk clerk in a hotel. Her last job was that in a message/call centre, which she liked very much.

 

Shirley was not a well person, having contracted rheumatic fever at the age of nine years. During that time, she learned to knit and became an excellent knitter, knitting beautiful baby sets and even a Mary Maxim sweater.

 

Shirley was a wonderful cook, making mouth-watering shredded wheat bread, and a good pot of baked beans. She often entertained family who came to the Island for a visit. Shirley was an ardent reader and enjoyed all types of books and authors. She especially enjoyed her TV shows, and planting and caring for her garden.

 

Shirley and Ray enjoyed going on trips, camping and clamming, and in the days before Shirley went to the nursing home, after Ray passed away, she loved telling stories about their adventures. Ray was the love of her life, and she missed him every day after his passing.

 

Over the years Shirley learned to love P.E.I. and was proud to call it home. She loved the beaches and having a cook-out on the beach, especially lobster.

 

Shirley was a member of Cornerstone Baptist Church. She loved her church and was there for many years. She loved the Lord very much.

 

Shirley is survived by her brothers, Les Harlow, Halifax, N.S.; Stephen (Robyne) Harlow, Lawrencetown, N.S.; sisters: Ethel (John) Beers, New Minas, N.S.; Cora Aulenbach, Bridgewater, N.S.; Audrey Evans, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta; and Grace Gillighan, Port Lorne, N.S., and many nephews and nieces. She is also survived by stepdaughter, Karen Taweel; and her family.

 

She was predeceased by her husband, Ray Simmons; her parents; brothers-in-law, James Gillighan, Lawson Aulenbach, and Derek Evans; and sister-in-law, Emma Harlow. She was also predeceased by her stepfather, Donald Wight, and her stepbrothers, Charles and Andrew Wight.

 

The family would like to wholeheartedly thank Shirley's chosen family, Pam and Allan Cullingworth, and their daughters, Allison and Keira, for all their love and support shown to Shirley throughout the years, especially being there for her at the Garden Home when we could not be there. Shirley loved this family like her own, and often referred to them as “her special family”.

 

Noteworthy thanks go out to her friends, Jorgen and Marie Nissen, Ruth Dockendorff and Dana Ingersoll, who became very dear friends to her.

 

Our sincere thanks to the Garden Home for their care and concern for Shirley while she resided with them for the past number of years.

The death occurred at Beach Grove Home on Monday, March 14, 2022, with family by her side of Miriam Edith MacLean (nee Jay) of Charlottetown, formerly of Meadow Bank, age 76 years. Beloved wife of Roddie and loving mother of Laurie (Martin Fobes), Jayson (Sheri Borts) and Todd (Savannah Belsher). Devoted Nana to Madeleine, Maria and Parker. Survived by siblings Eileen (Lawson) Drake, Allison (Marg), Muriel Jay Matheson, Cynthia (Mearl) Crane and Allan (Shirley) and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Predeceased by her parents Roland and Marion (Coffin) Jay, sister Connie Thurber and brother-in-law Angus Matheson.

 

Miriam grew up in Mount Stewart immersed in a caring, sometimes loud and always fun-loving collection of immediate and extended family and friends, one where music was the footing for so much, whether it was the fiddle tunes played by Gampy (Lem) Jay and father R.L. or singing each Sunday with Roland at the organ and Marion and her siblings beside her in the church choir.

 

There were summer days at the shore with her gang of Coffin cousins and pocket change earned at the strawberry cannery, dances and lots of books — Miriam loved the little library in Mount Stewart where the librarian would often set aside titles for her most frequent patron. Mysteries and romances to fuel her dreams.

 

Prince of Wales College brought her to town and then a job at Canada Packers introduced her to a slick young lad named Rod who drove a ’64 Valiant convertible and somehow won Roland and Marion’s approval. Off they went to Niagara Falls before setting up in Sussex, New Brunswick. But the glamour of the big city drew Miriam and Roddie to Toronto soon after where two more kids were born amid the multicultural hub of Etobicoke. Miriam took to it all with a flourish, making fast friends with her Italian and Bosnian neighbours, taking her daughter to Brownies and hosting wild Maritime parties for her friends and family from back home.

 

Miriam lived for her kids. Later in life she’d cast back to the moments of their births with shining eyes — there was a regimented procedure bringing Laurie into the world at an army hospital in Sussex, the Carpenters playing on the radio as she sat holding newborn Jayson in Toronto and then Todd’s birth on a rainy Wednesday in 1978, a wish come true just before Miriam and Roddie started thinking about heading back to PEI.

 

Anyone who knew Miriam in her prime saw a force of nature on full display, and that was certainly the case in Meadow Bank and Cornwall in the 1980s and onward where Mom seemed everywhere — the Women’s Institute, Cornwall United Church, curling with Roddie, organizing fashion shows at the church hall, opening a little dress shop in Cornwall with her sister Muriel and generally doing ten things at once, always smiling, her hazel eyes flashing and arms open wide, ready to take you in for a hug.

 

Miriam went back to school with the same verve, making more friends at UPEI than you or I probably did and, undaunted by the age gap, knocked her BEd out of the park before taking up a teaching career later in life.

 

But Miriam was family through and through. She always carried the glow of growing up in Mount Stewart as the light guiding her way. Her kids grew up and took on their own lives, bringing her grandkids to shower with affection along with more music and more fun. She was so proud. She and Roddie travelled the world, hitting all the continents and often taking friends and family along for the ride. Australia, India and Italy were some of her favourites, and then there was Nantucket, home of the Coffin clan. Twice Miriam organized trips to that other beautiful island for her cousins and family.

 

Even in her last years, going someplace special with the ones she loved was everything to Miriam, and it didn't matter whether it was flying off for a week in Jamaica or going down the street in Charlottetown to a nice cafe, she loved it all. And to the very end, her first and last words were always, "When are we getting together?"

 

We’re together, Miriam, now and forever.

The morning is cold and brisk, but bright sunshine cuts the chill. It will mean bundling up in her puffy, bright orange winter coat so as to meet with her walking group, or take her little dog for a walk of his own. Afterwards, a homemade soup may be in order, inspired by vegetables carefully preserved from this summer’s bountiful garden, or perhaps featuring fresh basil from the plant overwintering in the garage. Sadly, these will longer be a part of Prairie’s day; as of the early afternoon on January 31, she rests. Never one to be short of words, whether in conversation or written word, we can only expect her obituary to follow in kind.

 

Born October 16, 1947 to William and Pauline (Koshelanyk) Vance, she was the youngest of her siblings. She is survived by Constance (Earl) Orth, George (Elaine) Vance, and Gordon Vance. With her first husband Greg (Sharron) Wilson, she had three amazing children, Tyler, Jonathan, and Ashley Wilson (Ryan Gilmour). She was an extraordinarily proud grandmother to four beautiful grandchildren, Veronica Wilson, Chloe, Knox, and Davis Gilmour. While living in Penetanguishene, ON, Prairie met and married her loving husband Paul Fontaine. Following a brief move to Woodstock, ON, together they found their forever home in Canoe Cove, PEI.

 

Prairie will be remembered sporting a broad brimmed hat and with pruning shears in hand, weaving through her gardens, sharing stories for every tree, shrub, flower, and feature. Their origins, history, and future plans for each of them - what would be rebuilt, moved, divided, pulled up, or cut back. A breeze off the Strait will ripple her white, long sleeve shirt, worn as part of her daily regimen against the sun's rays. Inside, is a collection of books to be read with varying degrees of interest, whether for personal enjoyment or to be discussed with her book club. Never one to be ashamed, Prairie will readily share that she skipped to the last chapter to see if it will be worth reading all of the proceeding pages. Her writings fill journals, pieces for her writing group, traditional mail correspondence, and an extensive blog (www.prairiewakerobin.com). Challenging crosswords or Netflix series wrap up a day filled with projects, gardening, delightful cooking, and her most favourite, cherished conversations with dear friends and family. Prairie was sure to keep everyone up to date, even if it meant oversharing, in her passion to bring everyone together and spread her love.

 

To remember Prairie, details for summer celebrations, both in Ontario and PEI, will follow. Please do not send flowers, Prairie would very much rather see them stay in the ground to be enjoyed by everyone. She recently made a donation to Island Nature Trust, an organization dedicated to the protection of natural areas on PEI, and would be delighted to have anyone wish to do the same in her honour.

 

Prairie will be missed fiercely, as a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, cousin, neighbour, and club member, but also in her words, a teacher, dream counselor, art creator, reader, diarist, dreamer, gardener, walker, yoga practitioner, soul-miner. But even greater will she be missed as a dear friend, with her open heart and unlimited love for all. Each of us is incredibly fortunate to have had her a part of our lives, and never will she be forgotten. Remember her in the warmth of the sun on your face (while wearing sunscreen), within the beauty of a garden, and when giving the biggest and best hugs you can (never miss the chance for a hug).

 

Mom, may your spirit follow your dreams. We love you and will forever miss you.

 

Tyler, Jonathan, and Ashley.

Departed peacefully at Andrews of Stratford on January 16th 2022 when he left us to join his beloved wife Anne in Heaven.

 

Gerald B. Ells of Charlottetown, PEI aged 96 years. Devoted husband of Dorothy Anne Ells (nee Dunsford); loving father of Judy Ells-Whittingham (David) and Randy (Kathy) Ells; Grandfather to Gareth (Gloria) Whittingham; Uncle Gerald to Douglas, Robert and Tom Sear, and Susan (Ells) Leger. Predeceased in November 2021 by his wife of 66 years, Anne Ells; his parents Herbert and Vera (Mosher) Ells; brother Vernon Ells and wife Marjorie.

 

Gerald was born in Canning, Nova Scotia on February 25th 1925. A descendant of the original ‘Planters’ who settled in the Annapolis Valley in 1760’s. Gerald would accompany his Dad on rambles, exploring the Valley and Blomidon shore. The family was embedded into the Canning community and both Gerald and Vernon grew up with family, strong faith, music, local industry and love of the land.

 

Gerald finished High School in 1942 and completed his electrical apprenticeship in the next 2 years. While working his trade and volunteering with the Fire Department he found time to set up a small photography studio in Canning. Now he could take photos of the Valley he loved. He was noted for his scenes of the valley and for hand-colouring many of these photos in oils.

Anne and Gerald met at a skating party in 1949 and as their relationship grew Gerald found himself following Anne and her family to Ottawa where he began work with Crawley Films, then a leading company in Canadian film.

 

Gerald and Anne were married in Ottawa in 1955, where they brought Judy and Randy into the world. They had many family adventures and created a beautiful home and garden in Bells Corners. Once there, Gerald would work for Computing Devices of Canada where he was an industrial photographer. He photographed many leading-edge designs and technology.

 

In 1971, the family moved to PEI where Gerald started the photography program at Holland College. A natural teacher, Gerald loved the Holland College philosophy of self-motivation and life-long learning. It was a perfect fit. There were many students over the years and Gerald was always very proud of all their accomplishments. His photo here, taken by former student Susan MacDonald.

 

In 1990 Gerald retired from Holland College. He and Anne spent time with family and fixing-up two charming homes. He developed lovely gardens for Anne at both homes so she would always have flowers and beauty. He was her constant companion and guardian.

 

Their last ten years have been at Andrews of Stratford where Gerald and Anne were close to Anne’s sister, Betty (Sear) Drysdale. They would take part in music and social events. Gerald began painting, container gardening and writing. In their nineties, Gerald would most often be at Anne’s side or reading and writing his memoirs for the family.

 

Gerald took beautiful textural photos which celebrated landscapes, seascapes, the built environment and people; inviting us to look closer and to celebrate the beauty in everyday scenes. Through his work, he continues to inspire us to care for our beautiful world as he did.

 

The family would like to thank all the staff and caregivers at Andrews of Stratford, Rev. Madonna Fradsham, Rev. Arnold Stairs and Dot Blanchard for all their love, care and attention for both our Mother and Father.

Réal passed away peacefully on his own terms, with his loving partner Ghislaine by his side, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Charlottetown on Monday, January 10, 2022. Survived by brother, Oneil (Thérèse) and nephew, Denis.

 

Originally from Edmundston, NB, Ray called Charlottetown home for many decades.

 

A lifelong musician, his passion for singing and music knew no boundaries. His greatest joy as a professional singer was to please his audience through the gift of music. Whether a formal engagement or a good old PEI kitchen party, he was always a generous performer. This generosity went beyond music, and many benefited from his kindness. In lieu of charitable donations, his final wish is reach out to someone in need. Be it an acquaintance, friend, or stranger, do something meaningful to help make someone's life a little easier.

The death occurred at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre on Monday, January 3, 2022 of Roger Earl Balderston of Stratford, age 80 years. Beloved husband of Marjorie (Reid). Loving father of Lisa (Kelvin) Pugh, Erwin (Darlene) and Pam Balderston (Kirby Lund), grampy of Ashley (Peter), Carson and Sadie, and great-grampy of Malcolm and Gabrielle. Brother of Marlene (Wallace) Smith. Predeceased by his parents Earl and Edna (Higgins) Balderston.

 

Roger was born, raised and lived his entire life in Tea Hill. He attended Cross Roads school and went on to further his education at Prince of Wales College. During his college years he met and fell in love with Marjorie and they shared a love that spanned 57 years.

 

Roger was passionate throughout his life. In his early career he began working for Keith Pickard, a local architect. Their team was responsible for the design and drawing plans for various large projects which included most of the new schools on PEI built in the 70’s. Roger always had an interest in farming. He chose to carry on his father's legacy and continued growing strawberries. Year after year he worked the land, planted and cared for his crops. All his hard work developed into a very successful family operation known as Tea Hill Farms. Over time he had the opportunity to start a drafting business and became co-owner, and later sole owner of Island Drafting Ltd. Using his skills and knowledge in construction, he later trained and became a highly regarded home inspector, a job perfect for Roger as he left no detail untouched.

 

As much as Roger loved his work, he loved his family more. As a father he taught many valuable lessons. Being a grandfather brought him pure joy as he continued to live life to the fullest.

 

Roger lived his life with integrity. He was loyal, kind hearted, adventurous and loved to have a good time, leaving us with so many wonderful memories. He taught us everything except how to live without him.
