Amy Steele
A native of Ramsay township, Miss Amy Louise Steele, a naturalist and nursing director, died March 16 at the Golden Plough Lodge in Cobourg, Ont.
Miss Steele was born on the eighth line in Ramsay township and is the daughter of the late John and Amy Steele.
She was one of Coburg's foremost naturalist and a charter member of the Business and Professional Women's Club of Cobourg.
Miss Steele was instrumental in the foundation of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, serving as its director of nursing from the date of its origin in 1945, until her retirement in 1965.
She was an honorary member of the Ontario Public Health Association as well as the Willow Beach Field Naturalists.
A good friend, Mrs Margaret March, considered her to be "The Informed Botanist.
She was one of the most informed botanist around. If you were absolutely stymied (about the name of a plant), she could tell you what it was as well at its Latin name."
Miss Steele is survived by sister, Beth Kirkland of Almonte, and brother Ernest of Toronto. Three brothers, Alex, James, and Arthur and a sister, May, predeceased her.
Funeral services were held Monday at the Milroy Funeral Home in Coburg.
