WARD _ Eleanor Yvonne November 11, 1925 - December 12, 2007 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Eleanor Yvonne Ward (nee Jones) on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at the age of 82 years. Eleanor was born in Alsask, Saskatchewan on November 11, 1925 and spent her childhood years on the family farm in Mantario, Saskatchewan. After graduation from high school, Eleanor attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1950. After graduation, Eleanor moved to Calgary and worked for several oil companies, including Velocity Surveys and Shell Oil, before her marriage to William "Bill" Ward in April of 1956. Eleanor devoted herself to her family, which settled in Ottawa in 1969 after many military postings. Bill retired in 1989, and Eleanor and Bill pursued their love of genealogy by making several trips to the United States to research the Jones family tree. In 2001, they moved to Calgary to be closer to their children and two new granddaughters. Eleanor is predeceased by Bill, her beloved husband of fifty-one years, who passed away on May 26 of this year; her mother Edna (Klemmer) Jones, father Roy and stepmother Cora Jones; brother Ted and sister-in-law Alida Jones; granddaughter Angela Grace Ward; and niece Sheila Anne Moore. Eleanor is survived by her children, David and Victoria (Panchuk) Ward of Calgary; Bill and Lindsay (Bean) Ward and their children Natalie and Hayley of Calgary; Jim and Diane (Ward) McNaughton and their children Andrew, Iain and Matthew of Belgium; Earl (daughter Brittany) and Marlaine (Ward) Hubbs of Calgary and sister Erva Woolliams of Calgary as well as extended family Doug Jones and his family and Elda, Shane, Carol and Monty. Eleanor will be remembered for her sharp intellect, poise and grace but above all, her tireless devotion to family. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbors. Her family would like to thank the staff at the Rockyview General Hospital, Unit 56 and the Coronary Care Unit for their care and attention. A Funeral Service will be held in The Chapel of MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 2:00 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME and CEMETERY, 17 Avenue S.E. at Garden Road (1.5 km east of 84 Street S.E.).
