Edith MACLENNAN

MACLENNAN, Edith. 1916 - 2005. Passed away peacefully at the VIGI Sante, C.H.S.L.D., D.D.O., Quebec on June 4, 2005. Edie was the daughter of the late John MacLennan and the late Margaret Conal of Lochiel Township, Ontario. After John's death, Edie and her late sister Frances were, for many years, a source of great strength for their mother Margaret. Edie spent her adult life in Montreal where she was a faithful member of Ephriam Scott Presbyterian Church and where she worked for forty years for the Royal Bank of Canada. Edie was a wonderful aunt to nieces and nephews of the MacKay, MacLennan, Walsh and Dowie families. Predeceased by sisters Betty (the late Bill), Ida (the late Jim), Frances, Helen, Joan and brother Donald. Survived by brother-in-law Robert MacKay and sister-in-law Margaret MacLennan Young. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers of VIGI Sante, for their excellent and compassionate care over the past few years. Thanks, also, to her faithful friend Dolores Sandy who spent many hours with her over the last years. A graveside service will be held in the Alexandria United Church Cemetery, Main Street S., Alexandria, Ontario on Saturday, June 11, 2005 at 10 a.m. For those who wish, a donation to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. As a memorial to Edith, a tree will be planted in Memory Woods. A tree grows - memories live. Condolences may be made online at www.munromorris.com Published in the Montreal Gazette on 6/11/2005
