MacDONALD, Ellie Saye Cummings (nee Carter) Peacefully in hospital on Saturday, January 10, 2004, at the age of 84. Dearly beloved wife of the late Barry. Loving mother of Andrew, John (Sydne Genge), Paul (Gloria), Anne Berger (Steven) and Keith (Liliane Keryluk). Also loved by her six grandchildren, Sarah, Nina, Natalie, Alexander, Zachary and Callum. Predeceased by two brothers, Nick and Brian. Dear aunt of Hugh and Rosie Carter. England 1946; It can't have been easy and certainly frightening to leave her home in Bedford, England to travel alone to far off Canada and a husband she barely knew. Her father leant her money to get to Marseilles to survive several days, a woman and alone, until her ship left. When she arrived in New York three weeks later she was broke and not yet in Halifax. Her husband Barry wired her money and a ticket - yet another journey before her new life might start. In Halifax, a child was born, two more in Sydney, NS, and yet two more in Ottawa. She lived the rest of her amazing adventure at 22 Birch Avenue, Rockcliffe Park as a housewife, pre-school teacher, elementary teacher at Elmwood School, dedicated volunteer and fantastic mother. Friends may visit at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 315 McLeod Street on Tuesday, January 13, 2004 from 3 to 7 p.m. The Funeral Service will be held at St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, 125 Mackay Street, Ottawa on Wednesday, January 14th at 10 a.m. Cremation. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions to your favourite charity would be appreciated by the family. A special thanks to the Ottawa Hospital General Campus I.C.U. Staff for their loving care and compassion. Always remembered The Ottawa Citizen,
