Evans ORTVED, M.D. (1996) and sister to Joan Carruthers
ROBERTS
(Goodridge▼ d.) and the late John Charteris Haig

six children, Susan
ARMITAGE
(Murray▼ d.,) Niels (Stephanie,)
Peter (Maureen), Jody (Cathy), Janet
IGGERS (Dan), Anne
DATTELS
(Peter) and loved them all dearly. She enjoyed watching the eleven

ARMITAGE (Linda
GALASSO); Allie
SWEENEY (Patrick), Chat and John
ORTVED; Mira
and Matthew
ORTVED;
Kyla▼ and Dayne

She was proud to be a great-grandmother of Sophie, Charlie and
Jay.
Also fondly remembered by Jim
SUTTON and Jamie, Liam and
Isabelle CAVEN.
The▼ family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks
to Doctor Wendy
BROWN; and her special caregivers Norma, Maria,
Tess, Magda and Lani, one of whom was always at her side for
the past 21 months.
After graduating from Havergal College, Mary went on to University
College, University of Toronto where she met her husband Bill
ORTVED.
Her▼ many years of volunteering for the Women's Committee
of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra culminated in her term as President.
She served on both the Board of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
and Roy Thomson Hall. She was an enthusiastic member of the Toronto
Herb Society, and enjoyed her many weekly bridge games. She led
a very active life right up into her late eighties playing tennis
twice weekly, skiing at Osler Bluff Ski Club, playing golf at
Rosedale Golf Club, skippering her Albacore and Flying Scot,
and enjoying the religious morning plunge into Georgian Bay off
the rocks of Land's End. Mary's spirit will always rest at her
beloved island, Wawonaissa, at Pointe au Baril where she spent
every summer of her life. Since 1954 when they bought property
at Mansfield, her weekend ritual was roosting at Whippoorwill
Hill and she cherished the hills and the many Friends that surrounded
her there.
There will be a celebration of her life on Monday January 21st
at Eglinton St. George's United Church, corner of Lytton and
Duplex Ave. Toronto at 2 o'clock. Reception following at Rosedale
Golf Club, 1901 Mt. Pleasant Road. In lieu of flowers, please
consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
