TURNBULL,
Brian▼
Murray,▼
LLB
(Barrister and Solicitor)
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Brian
on Friday, March 24th, 2006; in his 62nd year. Brian is survived
by his devoted wife and soulmate Rosemary
(FAUBERT) who has treasured
their life together for over 35 years. Brian was born on June 27th,
1944 to Robert and Kathleen (predeceased)
TURNBULL in Fife, Scotland.
He will be deeply missed by his cherished father and his dear
sister Kathleen
CHARLTON of Barrie, Ontario. He is also survived
by his stepmother Mary
(SIEGRIST) and her family Jan
REGIS,
Eric,
Stephen and Barry
SIEGRIST who has not only been one of Brian's
devoted caregivers but a wonderful support to Rosemary during
this difficult time. And he will be sadly missed by his many
other relatives, Friends, neighbours, and colleagues. Brian has
faced many challenges in his life with unwavering determination
and such a positive attitude. He has also had several special
accomplishments including winning a Gold Medal at the 1967 Pan
Am Games for swimming some 6 years after being seriously injured
in a car accident which left him a paraplegic at age 17. He was
named Orillia's Athlete of the Year in 1968, won several public
speaking contests over the years and coached and mentored many
aspiring young lawyers. He also made time for his community serving
on the Cancer Society, the Ethics Board for Orillia Soldiers'
Memorial Hospital, the Terriers Hockey Club, the Big Brother
Association and belonged to both the Kinsmen and Rotary Clubs.
But Brian's crowning moment was when he was admitted to Osgoode
Hall Law School at age 40 after owning and managing several small
businesses in Simcoe County and Toronto. Brian loved practicing
the law and was deeply respected and admired by Judges, Lawyers,
Court Staff and the many clients he assisted with his fair, compassionate,
non-judgmental way. Brian loved his home, maintaining his property,
working on model ships, cooking, entertaining Friends, and travelling.
He and Rosemary were fortunate enough to do extensive travelling
and particularly enjoyed visiting Brian's homeland Scotland and
spending time in the Caribbean. He leaves Rosemary, his Friends
and family with so many wonderful, funny, precious memories and
he will be so missed. Brian
TURNBULL - a friend to many; and
inspiration to all. Following cremation, the family will receive
Friends at the Mundell Funeral Home, 79 West Street North, Orillia,
on Monday, March 27th from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and on Tuesday, March 28th
at the Hawk Ridge Golf and Country Club, Orillia from 3: 30 until
time of Memorial Service at 4: 30 p.m. A Reception to Celebrate
Brian's Life will be held immediately following the Memorial
Service. If desired, Memorial Donations to the Orillia Soldiers'
Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, or
the charity of your choice would be gratefully appreciated. Messages
of condolence are welcome at www.mundellfuneralhome.com.

JOHNSTONE,
Madam
Justice
Cecilia
On April 15, 2006, Madam Justice Cecilia
JOHNSTONE of Edmonton
passed away at the age of 54 years after a lengthy battle with
cancer. She lived a life of passion and grace. Cecilia is survived
by her loving husband, John
DAY and his children, Jennifer, Jacquie
and Olivia; her mother, Anne and her lifelong family friend,
Ernie FOSS; her brother, Tim and his wife, Ruby; her uncle and
aunts and cousins. Cecilia was predeceased by her father, Lawrence
in 1962. This extraordinary woman was an accomplished teacher,
lawyer and jurist in our community. She was born, raised and
educated in Edmonton. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree
from the University of Alberta in 1973 and her
LLB from the Faculty
of Law in 1974. Cecilia articled with the then Stratton Lucas
firm, to Joseph J. Stratton (later a Justice of the Court of
Appeal), and was admitted to the Bar in 1975. She remained with
the firm, practicing in the area of wills and estates until her
appointment to the Court of Queen's Bench in 1996. She was appointed
Queen's Counsel in 1988. Cecilia was a natural teacher. She was
course head of the Wills and Estates Bar Admission Course, a
member of the Board of Directors for the Legal Education Society
of Alberta, a panelist for numerous legal education seminars,
a mentor in the Wills and Estates Program and a sessional instructor
at the Faculty of Law. Cecilia was a leader at the bar. She was
President of the Edmonton Bar Association (1988-89); the first
female President of the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Bar Association
(1990-91); a member of the American Bar Association; and the
National President of the Canadian Bar Association (1993-94).
Cecilia courageously championed the fair treatment of women in
the legal system and played a major role in the adoption of the
recommendations of the 1993 Bertha Wilson Task Force on gender
equality. To celebrate her accomplishments in promoting equality
in Canada, the Canadian Bar Association honoured Cecilia with
the Touchstone Award in 1997. She also received the Distinguished
Service Award for the Profession in 1995 from the Law Society
of Alberta and the Canadian Bar Association (Alberta Branch).
In 2000, she received the first Alumni Honour Award from the
University of Alberta, recognizing her service to the community
and her significant contribution to the legal profession. Cecilia
was devoted to the community. She served as a member of the Board
of Directors of Junior Achievement, President of the Saint Thomas
Moore Lawyers' Guild, President of the Estate Planning Council,
Chair of the Board of Directors of the Western Catholic Reporter,
Chair of the Northern Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation
and then member of the Hospital's Board of Management (now the
Stollery Children's Health Centre), Chancellor of Newman Theological
College, Chair of the Judges' Forum of the Canadian Bar Association
and as a member of various governmental advisory committees.
Cecilia was a woman well loved by a large circle of family and
Friends in her community, across the country, and beyond. Cecilia
was known for her passionate efforts on behalf of others, whether
ensuring underprivileged school children would have Christmas
or penning ground-breaking family or human rights decisions.
We are sad to lose this elegant flame of conviction and compassion.
