BEHAN,
Pamela
Jane "
Pommie"
Passed away peacefully at the Trillium Manor, Orillia on Saturday,
November 19th, 2005; in her 82nd year. Born in Hamilton, Ontario
on March 4, 1924, she lived her early years in Toronto before
marrying and settling in Orillia, Ontario. Beloved wife of the
late Dr. J.A. Tremayne (Tre)
BEHAN and much loved "Mom" of Bari
DORWARD
(Sandy,)
Rod
(Susan,) and Don (Juliet) all of Toronto,
Brenda TURNOUR
(Murray) of Cambridge, Cheryl
BEHAN (John) of
Orillia and the late Barbara
OATWAY.
She was adored by a host
of grandchildren, Kelly, Michael, Laura, Mary, Jessie, James,
Jodie, Jonathan, Conor, Cameron, Jamie and Andrew, and great
grandchildren, MacKenzie and Keegan. Pam met Tre during the war
and married shortly thereafter. They settled in Orillia and began
the task of raising a family of 6 children. In addition to her
role as a dedicated and loving Mother, she was also Dad's right
hand in his veterinary clinic. Mom never lost sight of her family
or Friends, who always played a significant role on her life,
whether on the golf course, playing bridge or sailing. Pam loved
painting/drawing - perhaps best remembered in her annual hand-drawn
Christmas cards. In Mom's later years, she was very giving of
her time, most notably to Hospice Orillia. She always felt that
the knowledge she had gained from her experiences would be helpful
to others during difficult times. Pommie's charm, generosity,
grace, sense of humour and love will be sorely missed by the
many who had the wonderful opportunity to be associated with
her. Rest in peace Mom. You will be missed! The family wishes
to thank the staff of Birchmere Retirement Residence, Trillium
Manor and Hospice Orillia for their kindness and compassionate
care. The late Mrs. Pamela
BEHAN will rest at the Mundell Funeral
Home, 79 West Street, N., Orillia on Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m.
and on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 at St. James' Anglican Church,
