Avis de décès de Eleanor-Jean Wallace

ALSOP, (Silverthorne) Eleanor Jean - Peacefully in her sleep at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay on June 11th 2008, in her 90th year. With great sadness we announce the passing of a remarkable lady. Eleanor was the eldest daughter of the late Kate and Bob Wallace. She was the loving wife of Ken Alsop and the late Edwin (Ed) Silverthorne. Dearly loved mother of Janice Silverthorne-Finney (Bernard) of Lindsay, and Jennifer Litton (Ken) of Grafton. Proud and cherished Gramma of Colin and Allison Carlson and Wendell and Spencer Litton. Sister of Albert Wallace (Mary) of Richmond Hill and the late Betty Fraser (Chuck) of Peterborough; sister-in-law of Freda Staples(Jack) of Iroquois Falls. Eleanor will be missed by her many nieces and nephews and also her life-long dear friend Allison Shipton. Eleanor began her stellar Secretarial career at Swift Canadian in Toronto where she and Ed raised their two musical daughters in Weston. She was very active in the Riverside U.C.W. for 25 years until they retired to the family property in Bolsover. There, she continued to use her superior shorthand skills in her association with both the Bolsover W.I. and Bolsover Community Centre where she was Secretary. In addition, Eleanor was a proud promoter of just causes for her community and never shied away from challenges. Her Irish heritage gave her a love of song and dance that she passed on to her children. She will certainly miss euchre and darts at the Bolsover Community Centre but will be there in spirit. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Access Centre and also to the ICU staff at Ross Memorial Hospital. A private graveside service has already taken place. A celebration of Eleanor's life will be announced at a later date. Donations in memory of Eleanor can be made to the Heart and Stroke or the Sick Children's Hospital and can be made through the MANGAN FUNERAL HOME, (705-426- 5777), Beaverton.
