BEAUDRY, Edith Laura (nee Ouellette) - In loving memory of Edith Beaudry, 79 years of Sudbury, who passed away Sunday, April 22nd, 2007 at the SRH - St. Joseph's Health Center, she was born in Creighton and married Larry Beaudry in 1946 in Sudbury. Edith was a well loved & respected life resident of Sudbury. She had been a secretary at Silverwood Dairies and Beaudry Appliances for 20 years. A proud Canadian she had been an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion whose leadership & friendship was appreciated by all who knew her. She was a past president of the Royal Canadian Legion Br # 76 Sudbury and she served on various committees and executive offices at the zone and command levels. She had received a Meritorious Service Medal for her outstanding efforts. The focus of her life was her faith & family. She was a devout Roman Catholic who attended Holy Redeemer Parish. She was a loving & devoted mother and grandmother. Aunt Edith is a dedicated Legionnaire who believes in the phrase “Service not for self“. She is well known for her yard sales, hamburgers in gravy, joke telling, singing and chicken and spaghetti. At Christmas she is even known as the Turkey Lady. She was even instrumental in forming the play “until we meet again“ which ran for a few years. During Poppy Campaign she spends the entire weekend at the Shopping Centre manning headquarters and telling people where to go, (something she loves to do). She also forms her committee and does Remembrance Services at various Nursing Homes. Aunt Edith joined the Ladies Auxiliary in 1984 and every year she would run our elections. She was our liaison from 1988 to 1990 and then again in 1992 to 1994. She caters to our Christmas supper, our Anniversary suppers and Friday night suppers. The word “no“ does not appear in Aunt Edith's vocabulary. In the community she was a Girl Guide Leader and spent many summers at their camp cooking and working with the girls.
