BAKAN,
Rita (née
FEIERSTEIN)
Rita died of lymphoma at age 75 on March 14, 2006. She was a
woman of great passion, intellect, warmth, strength, beauty and
love. Rita leaves behind Paul, her beloved husband of 55 years
their children Laura, Joel, and Michael; daughters in-law Rebecca
and Megan; grandchildren Myim and Sadie, Isaac and Leah; her
sister Pearl and brother in-law Ed; her sister Eleanor; her sister
in-law Cynthia
BLYNN and brother-in-law Marvin
BLYNN; her sister-in-law
Millie BAKAN, and many dear Friends and relatives. Rita was predeceased
by her parents Fannie and Isaac

BAKAN and David
BAKAN, sister-in-
law and brother-in-law Selma and Bernard
LESSER, her brother-in-law
Morton KRONENBERG, and her daughter-in-law Marlee
KLINE.
Rita
was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1930. She met Paul on the New
York subway, which they both rode to school. They were married
in 1950. Together they lived a wonderful 55 years, an adventure
that began in Brooklyn, New York and took them to Urbana, Illinois
East Lansing, Michigan; Stanford, California; Cambridge, England
and finally Vancouver, British Columbia. Rita was educated at
Brooklyn College, the University of Illinois, and Michigan State
University, where she received a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology.
She was a superb teacher whose efforts were appreciated by her
students at Michigan State University College of Urban Studies,
and the British Columbia Institute of Technology, Department
of Basic Health Sciences, where she taught courses in human development
to students in the nursing program. She served as the Senior
Psychologist of the Vancouver Health Department. She made significant
research contributions on the etiology and treatment of anorexia
nervosa together with medical staff at the Saint Paul's Hospital,
and she wrote an article on some medical aspects influencing
the life of Queen Elizabeth I. A high point of Rita's life was
her service as a lay member of the British Columbia College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Her love and keen intellect provided
inspiration and support for the education and careers of her
children. Rita's life was full of love, which she experienced
and gave with great intensity. She had infinite love for her
family. She thrived in the presence of her children and grandchildren.
Her other loves included her Friends, reading, libraries, music,
cooking, Chinese food, walking on Jericho Beach, Paris, the city
of Vancouver, and trying to understand how the world works. Throughout
her illness Rita and her family were grateful for the many expressions
of love and support they received, and for the exceptional care
from health professionals, especially Doctor Joseph Connors who
helped her in every possible way for 10 years, Doctor Susan Harris,
Dr. Beverly Spring, home care nurse Pat Richardson and others

McRAE, Elizabeth "Betty" Hope (formerly
PICHÉ, née
BLYTH)
By Bob McRAE,
Page
A32
Philanthropist, wife, mother. Born December 15, 1922, in Britannia
Bay, Ontario Died July 23, in Ottawa, of leukemia, aged 83.
Betty McRAE was born (as were three sporting boys) to William
and May BLYTH.
She grew up in the Great Depression, in a family
thankful for the monthly cheque brought home by her father, a
decorated First World War veteran. To listen to Betty, she had
the best childhood imaginable. Betty told stories of summer swimming
at Britannia Park beach, diving off the towers at the end of
the pier or watching streetcars bringing thousands to the "end
of the line" and, in winter, skating on Mud Lake or across farmers'
fields under glistening stars.
Betty married Earl
PICHÉ while in her late teens; they had a
son. Her young husband was soon off to fight in the Second World
War. One day, only weeks before the end of the war, Betty learned
that her husband Earl had been killed in Germany by a sniper's
bullet. Just a few months earlier, her dear brother Fred had
been killed fighting in Italy.
A short while later Bill
McRAE (a childhood sweetheart) called
and late in 1946 they were married. Together Bill and Betty
had five children whom they raised (along with her first son,
Earl). Betty embraced motherhood, unconditionally, from the beginning,
to the end. Her children truly have difficulty remembering a
day that she took off.
Family and Friends were Betty's passion. Photographs adorned
every wall of her home. Until recently, Betty held family Sunday
night dinners, dinners every Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter
and other special occasions. These were gargantuan undertakings
with her children, grandchildren and often a few other invitees
attending. Betty's phone was constantly busy as her children,
and often grandchildren, checked in daily, if for no other reason
than just to hear her voice.
She had a friendly smile or hello for anyone she passed and often
would stop to talk, whether to a homeless person, a student packing
groceries, a person doing some volunteer work, or someone out
for a walk. Often on leaving she would give students or the less
fortunate some money, along with some words of encouragement.
Betty gave to more charities than you can imagine, particularly
organizations devoted to the well-being and health of people.
Betty was particularly devoted to the war veterans and their
causes. Every year for weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, she
would faithfully sell poppies then spend every November 11 watching
the ceremonies on television; she preferred mourning by herself.
Betty had a genuine joie de vivre; her jovial, friendly spirit
was contagious, with everyone seeking her out for some good-natured
fun, conversation or dancing. She was able to lift the spirits
and bring out the fun side of the most introverted.
Betty was an intelligent, beautiful, fit woman, until recently
looking 20 years younger than her age. She loved politics, elections,
and sports, both participating and watching them. Up until the
age of 81, when her leukemia began to slow her down, Betty played
tennis regularly for hours at a time and adored her walks for
miles along the scenic paths of the Ottawa River Parkway.
This summer the leukemia began to seriously restrict Betty's
independence. Never wanting to be any sort of a burden, Betty
decided it was time. For two weeks in July she rested at home
and said goodbye to family and Friends. Only hours after becoming
a great-grandmother for the first time, Betty took her last breath
at home, held by her husband and children.
At Betty's burial, a sunny summer day, the bagpipes played, and
butterflies, representative of resurrection, flitted about as
a hundred balloons were released into the beautiful blue sky.
Bob McRAE is Betty's son.
