Mary McIntyre Obituary

Mary Ann McIntyre (nee Symington) January 10, 1909 June 28, 2011 Mary Ann McIntyre (nee Symington), passed away peacefully Tuesday June 28, 2011 at Saskatoon, Sask. aged 102 years. Survived by daughter Margaret Phillips, four grandchildren (Glenn, Kimberly, Laurie Sutherland; Mark Phillips) and two great-grandchildren (Naim, Hannah Sutherland), four nephews (Allan and Dave Brown; Edward and Charles McIntyre), and three nieces Joyce Bergman, Darlene Peterson, Wilma Chapman and Gail Colbourne and other nieces and nephews much loved in Ontario. Pre-deceased by husband Everton McIntyre, daughter Evelyn (Sutherland), brothers Milton, Charles, Alexander, and sister Evelyn, nephews Jack, Gordon, George Brown and nieces Eileen Fouhse (Brown). Born 1909 on a farm in Almonte, Ontario, Mary was raised with two home boys who went off to fight in WW1, and she also knew as a child a survivor of the Titanic. Although she loved school, especially algebra, Mary only completed Grade 10, at which point she had to stay home to help her mother. She obtained her Licentiate in Piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music in 1928. Before her marriage to Everton in 1930 she played at dances throughout the Ottawa Valley with her brothers as the Symington Orchestra, stalwartly driving all of them home in the wee hours in a model T Ford. Upon moving west in 1930, she and Everton raised their family and farmed near Langham, Sask. until 1974. One of her first tasks upon arrival in Langham was to feed the road crew that was building the Yellowhead Highway and the Borden Bridge. Her legendary cooking from her large kitchen garden and loving manner made her a main stay in the District, where she boarded the teacher (supporting, among others, William Perehudoff to get his education), fed threshing gangs and kept several members of Everton's large family during the Depression. During many years living in Saskatoon, she was an energetic center of social and family events, sports, and an inexhaustible source of garden blossoms, food, and laughter for friends and neighbors. Since 1995 she lived at Prairie Springs Care Home, where the laughter continued to the end. Besides her love of plants and birds, family and friends near and far were the centre of Mary's life, and she remained keenly interested in their wellbeing all of her life. She leaves behind a very large legacy of love, light and grace in those who knew her. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Prairie Springs Care Home, Saskatoon. The Funeral Service will be held Saturday, July 2, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at Saskatoon Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to mail@saskatoonfuneralhome Arrangements have been entrusted to SASKATOON FUNERAL HOME, 244-5577.

?b?Obituary of Claire Symington
?/b?
June 18, 1937 - January 26, 2022
With great sadness, the family announce that Claire Peter Symington passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday morning, January 26, 2022. Lovingly remembered by his wife of 62 years Faye (Wagenblass) Symington and his sons:
Rod (Donna) Symington and Paul (Alanna) Symington. Claire will also be lovingly remembered by his 4 precious granddaughters: Leah, Deanna, Madison and Sarah. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents: Alec and Jean Symington and brother Donald and sister-in-law Doris.
Claire was born and raised on the family farm in Almonte. He moved to Arnprior in 1950 with his parents and was the devoted ESSO Agent for Arnprior and area residents from 1954 to 1993 and then he discovered that selling cars for someone else was a 9-5 job, when he felt like it. Throughout his life Claire enjoyed hunting and time spent with family and friends boating on the Ottawa River, pulling up to shore at Pontiac Beach and cruising the Rideau Canal through the Waterway on to Georgian Bay. He would say "Of course, the best thing to do is to travel the Rideau either way". Claire's retirement was spent enjoying the outdoors and touring in his red pick-up truck with the Dog. He will be remembered for his quick wit, infectious smile, keen interest in the lives of others and his ability to spark a friendly conversation with anyone he met. Claire's arrangements have been entrusted to the Boyce Funeral Home Ltd., 138 Daniel Street North, Arnprior. At Claire's request, a private interment is being planned for immediate family at Arnprior Albert Street Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation or the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
