BUDDUG JOHN, Betty (née DAVIES)
Died peacefully in her ninetieth year on Friday, January 21, 2005, at her residence in the Seven Oaks Home for the Aged. Not sadness, but joy in an extraordinarily full, rich and generous life filled the hearts of all who knew her. Welsh to the end, but a grateful Canadian for fifty years, her voice and piano still ring in the hearts of us all. A professional nurse and midwife who delivered many a child in the bombing of London, she later cared for and brightened the lives of 'old people', a group to which she never belonged. In her life she was also an athlete, an artist, a mother, a homemaker and a wonderful partner to her late husband Reverend W.H. JOHN in his lifelong ministry. She is survived by daughter Beth E. LETTNER (spouse of the late George LETTNER,) son David G. JOHN (Kathryn,) grandchildren Susan (Michael McKAY,) Michelle (Craig CYR,) William, Gregory and Leslie, and her great-grandchildren Miss Isabelle and Mr. William. We shall dearly miss her among us. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at Washington United Church, 3739 Kingston Road, Scarborough, Ontario, M1J 3H4, Tel. 416 267 8265 on Friday, February 18 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a favourite charity in her memory.

LAKE, Denyse (née LAJOIE) (1932-2005)
It is with great sadness that her family announces the passing of Denyse LAKE (née LAJOIE) on Sunday, May 8, 2005. Denyse was born in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec on March 27, 1932 to the Honourable Judge Leon LAJOIE and Jeanne René DE COTRET. She grew up surrounded by a loving family that included Germaine, Françoise (Jacques A. GOUIN,) Father Leon, s.j., Jacqueline, Madeleine, bébé René, Renée (Pierre ST- CYR,) Yves (Micheline NOËL.) She is survived by all of her siblings with the exception of Father Leon s.j. and bébé René. She met her loving husband and life partner, David C. LAKE at a badminton club in Trois-Rivieres in 1952. Through their love and dedication to each other they overcame a language barrier and courted long distance while David went to the University of Ottawa. They were married on May 28, 1960. This year was to be their fortyfifth wedding anniversary. Denyse was a dedicated and loving wife and the very best of mothers to her three children, David, Michael and Sophie. She raised her family in Montreal, Quebec until 1977, when the family moved to Calgary. As the family grew Denyse also welcomed and cared deeply for David's wife Carmen and Michael's wife Magni. She was a great Nana and will forever be remembered by her grandchildren, Danielle, Spencer, Siri, and Sonja. Denyse had an exceptionally graceful, generous and positive spirit. She certainly gave of herself unselfishly and was always dedicated to helping her family and Friends. Denyse loved to host gatherings and was an exceptional cook. She will be missed by her Friends, especially around Christmas when she always happily hosted a very special party. While we will miss her dearly, we know the light of Denyse's spirit will shine through all of those who were near to her. She will always be in our thoughts. We are certain she is watching over us and still caring for us.

REID, Ewart Percival
After a brief illness, Ewart REID passed away at the General Hospital in Ottawa on June 15, 2005, at age 94. He is survived by his son Malcolm and wife Réjeanne CYR of Quebec City, and by his son Ian and partner Andrea MURPHY, who were with him at the end.
Ewart was the son of John Addison REID and Alma (CRISPIN) REID. Born in 1910 in Regina, he grew up in Toronto and Montreal. He received his B.A. and M.A. in economics from McGill, studying with Stephen Leacock. His master's studies took him to a Doukhobor community in western Canada, and he recounted their lifeways in his thesis.
His early career was with the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. A second career took shape with the U.N.'s World Food Program, in Rome, New Delhi and Ankara.
Ewart had two granddaughters, Nadine SPIDLA of Vancouver, and Joëlle REID of Toronto. Doing field work in Peru, Joëlle said: "Ewart had a sense of adventure, so he understood mine."
Ewart was a lifelong socialist and supported the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation from its beginnings. He was also a sports enthusiast, with a longstanding commitment to the Habs and Expos.
During his studies at McGill in the 1930s, Ewart met and married Charlotte CLARE of St. Andrews, Manitoba. They were together for 25 years, and separated in 1960. Afterwards, Ewart married Dorothy MOXLEY of Ottawa, who went with him on postings in India and Turkey. She died in 1975. Ewart later married Seval UNAN of Ankara, Turkey, who survives him. Ewart was predeceased by siblings Howard REID of Montreal, Margaret TALBOT of Lachine, and Eleanor GIBBARD of Morgantown, West Virginia.
Friends and colleagues are invited to remember Ewart on what would have been his 95th birthday, on Wed., July 6, at 2 p.m. at a gathering at Beechwood Cemetery, Sir Sandford Fleming Room in Ottawa.
