Our mother died on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at the age of 97 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Beryl was born on October 15 1923, the second of four children born to the late Noel Hamlyn DeBlois and Gerda Clairmont Taylor. Born and raised on Water Street in Charlottetown, Beryl attended West Kent Elementary School and then spent three happy years at Netherwood School for Girls in Rothesay, New Brunswick. Following graduation in 1940 she enrolled at Prince of Wales College back on the Island. Beryl played an excellent tennis game and was a regular in the Eastern Canadian tennis tournaments. Mum excelled at badminton and horseback riding, too; as sister Audrey commented while admiring a photo of her astride a horse at Netherwood, “Beryl sits a horse well!” She interrupted her studies to join the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (the “Wrens”) in 1943 and was stationed in Greenock, Scotland, during the last two years of World War II. Demobilized in 1946, Beryl attended McGill University in Montreal, played on the McGill Varsity tennis team, and graduated with a degree in Commerce in 1949.

Beryl married F. Clarke Fraser in December 1948, and had four children with him: Norah, Noel (Pat), Alan, and Scott (Tasha). She was proud grandmother to their seven children: Trevor (Marcelle), Emmett (Justine), Gillian, Masha, Alexander, and Ogden; and four great-grandchildren: Eliot, Cohen, Finnegan, and Kipling. Survived by sisters Audrey Volesky and Norah Henry. She was predeceased by brother Thomas D. DeBlois (Mary), daughter-in-law Jelena, granddaughter Megan, and brothers-in-law Jan Volesky and Dr. John Henry.

After their divorce in 1973, Beryl returned to her alma mater this time as an administrative coordinator in McGill’s Dentistry School where she worked until retiring in 1989. She was a regular at the Shawbridge Ski Club and the Montreal West Tennis Club, and served many years on the executive of the Montreal Field Naturalists Club. Beryl was an excellent seamstress, sewing many of her and her children’s clothes, and knitted sweaters and mittens for all the kids. She served on the Women’s Auxiliary of the Montreal Children’s Hospital (and held the Treasurer’s position for some years), the WA of St. Thomas’ Anglican Church in Montreal, and was a Brown Owl (the adult leader) for the Montreal West Brownies. An avid reader, birder and cross-country skier, Beryl also excelled at bridge and mah-jong. She came home to the Island for good in 2001 and eventually moved to Andrews of Stratford (2008 – 2016) and then to Whisperwood Villa Nursing Home.

Beryl was a true Islander and came home for summers at Keppoch just about every year she lived on the mainland. She brought her children and grandchildren and their families to Keppoch too, and they still feel connected to the Island and are part of the Keppoch community. The cottage at Cherry Corner was that “home away from home” she especially enjoyed in her later years when hosting family and friends from away.

The family is deeply grateful to the staff at Whisperwood Villa, where Beryl received excellent, loving care throughout her stay but especially over the past 19 months of the pandemic.

It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Barbara Graham Rogers in her 95th year. Barbara (beloved Auntie Baba to all) lived at Beach Grove Nursing Home in Harbour View where she was beautifully cared for in her final years. Barbara adored her brothers, the late Peter Rogers (Jessie deceased) and the late Charles Rogers (Joyce, of Ottawa ON). Auntie Baba is survived by niece Martha (the late James McGrane) of NC and her sons Kevin and Andrew, nephew David (Lynne) of Stowe, VT and their children, Graham and Brittany, as well as niece Anne (Peter Magee) of Invermere, BC and her children, Amy and Will.

Barbara was cherished by her Charlottetown family Patricia Preston (the late Aggey Vakselis) and her older sister Peggy (the late Arthur Holland & the late Charles Williams) Williams along with her daughters Susan Holland, Bethany Holland (Barbara’s devoted Partner in Care), Mary (Les) Holland-Bonnett and their sons, Pearson and Nicholas of Conover, NC, and Bethany’s daughters Hannah (daughter Luna), Grace, and Maeve. Barbara was predeceased by her parents Graham and Amy (Ellis) Rogers.

Auntie Baba was born in Summerside, PEI on February 7, 1927, and as a young person, moved with her family to Charlottetown. Her lifetime career was dedicated to Canada Permanent Trust Company, eventually TD Canada Trust. She had a beautiful soprano voice and was a devoted member of the choir of the Kirk of Saint James, as well as an alumna of the original Charlottetown Little Theatre Group, and the PEI Welsh Society.

Barbara was an avid knitter, making baby blankets, mittens, and hats for all – a tribute to her involvement with the Dorcas group. She enjoyed classical music and her astronomy club, where she took pleasure in the wonders of the night sky, sighting many eclipses.

Brenton passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown on Wednesday, September 15, 2021. The family is so grateful that he was able to enjoy this past summer visiting with close friends and family (including his cherished granddaughters), traveling to the family cottage, and celebrating his 87th birthday on August 27th.

Brent was predeceased by Marion, his beloved wife of 48 years, and is survived by his loving daughters, Anne (Ewan Clark) and Elaine (Bill Tebbutt) and his grandchildren Samantha and Chloe Tebbutt and Emma, Lauren and Luke Clark. Brent was the middle child of the late Harold and Adelaide Partridge (Sampel). He was born and raised in Charlottetown, leaving school at a young age to work and help support his family. Brent was their “rock” and was always there for them. He was a third generation railway man and like his father and grandfather, he went to work for Canadian National Railway in 1951. He dedicated his service there for 36 years in various roles until his retirement in 1987. As a younger man, Brent enjoyed swimming, bowling, playing golf, curling and was active in his community, church family (Elder and choir member) and as a Cub/Scout leader. He was a member of Zion Presbyterian Church and also enjoyed worship at Brookfield and Nine Mile Creek Presbyterian churches.

Brent and Marion built their family cottage in 1965 on the Island’s beautiful south shore in Cumberland; it was their favourite place to spend time. They welcomed and hosted friends, family and strangers with open arms and a full fridge for many years. Brent and Marion made countless trips to visit Anne (Halifax) and Elaine (Toronto) and his daughters are grateful for the memories and the laughs. He and Marion spent many winter weeks in sunny Florida enjoying hours on the beach as well as connecting with Island family and friends there.

Brent powered through many years of chronic pain and surgical interventions and, despite it all, always found optimistic and supportive words for those around him. He took to heart that the Lord loves a cheerful giver, and was always generous of spirit and support for those he loved and those whom he felt had a need. To the very end, Brent was full of conversation and stories and was quick to poke fun and share a laugh. He loved to engage with people, spend time playing cards (45s in particular), and enjoy a coffee at a local shop. He was also an avid fan of tennis, golf and curling, and he attended the National Brier in Newfoundland after his heart surgery in 2017.

Family came first for Brent, and he loved and cherished spending time with loved ones, to whom he devoted his entire life. Anne moved back to PEI in 2018, and she and Ewan were able to share their lives with him. Anne, Elaine, and their families, are eternally grateful for their father’s unconditional love and for all he did for them throughout his life.

Anne and Elaine would also like to express their sincere thanks to friends and family for all of their love and support to their Dad; particularly, since the loss of Marion in January 2013. Much gratitude is owed to Carl Holmes and Nancy Clow for their friendship, care, and support. Brent lived at Burnside Community Care in Clyde River during his final years and considered it “home”. He enjoyed the company of residents/friends and appreciated the care and support of the wonderful staff. The family also want to acknowledge the incredible and compassionate medical care provided to him in his final days by Dr. Aimee MacKenzie and the QEH nursing staff of Units 3 and 8.

A celebration of life will be held from Zion Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 24, with interment to follow at Brookfield Cemetery. Following current restrictions, guests are required to pre-register if they plan to attend by calling the church office at (902) 566-5363. If so desired, memorials may be made to Brookfield Presbyterian Church Cemetery or the Zion Presbyterian Church Choir fund. In accordance with Brent’s wishes, his remains have been cremated and there will be no visitation. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com
