​On Wednesday, December 21, 2022, in his 58th year, Mark Robert Lawrence Lambier passed from this world and went Home to be with his Lord and Savior, with his loving wife and youngest daughter by his side. This concluded his long battle with chronic kidney disease. 
 
Mark is now reunited with his darling daughter Emma, who left this earth 29 years and one day before her father. He is also predeceased by his father Robert Lambier, grandparents Francis and Floretta (Hollinger) Lambier, and Alfred and Mary (Crosbie) Cameron, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins. 
 
Mark is survived by his wife and best friend of nearly 20 years, Jocelyn (Goss) Lambier, his adult daughters Rebecca and Hannah, and youngest daughter, Eliana. He is also leaving behind his mother, Betty (Cameron) Lambier, his mother-in-law Carolyn (Phillips) Goss, father-in-law James Goss, sister Marcy (Jim Sitt), sister-in-law Rhonda (Rick Nicholson), brother-in-law Jeff (Mary Pat O’Connor) Goss, as well as 4 nieces, a nephew, a great niece, aunts, uncles, and cousins. 
 
Truly a man of many talents, Mark used them all to bless so many. A lifetime student who loved learning and took great pride in all of his efforts, his thirst for knowledge after high school first appeared when he received a diploma in Accounting as valedictorian. His next step was the first year of Sir Sanford's Forestry program. Early in his career he drove a truck and loved operating the big rig. He had many stories to tell: from delivering eggs from Grayridge Egg Farms, to meeting the mayor of New York while triple parked downtown, to picking up chocolate from Hershey’s, to finding out the reason the watermelon harvesters played loud music. He loved working for Erb Transport the most and took great pride in it. After about a decade it was time to come off the road, and Mark started apprenticing as a Trailer Mechanic before switching programs to Truck and Trailer Mechanic at Fanshawe. When his health began affecting his work, he knew it was time to hang up the wrenches. He enrolled in the Law Clerk/Paralegal program, from which he graduated on the dean’s list, all the while going through dialysis. He even had a side hustle teaching Electrical in the Diesel Mechanic program that he had previously completed. Mark’s passion was always with technology and after his kidney transplant he enrolled in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. His kidney would reject and fail about halfway through, but that didn’t stop Mark. He graduated on the President’s Honour Roll and was very excited to begin working. 
 
Sadly, it was not meant to be, and after a series of events in 2012 his health began a steeper decline. Through it all, Mark maintained his positive attitude and kept re-inventing himself with each new road block. He tried his best to keep up with technology and was always collecting electronic devices to build new devices. Before 3D printing really took off he even started building his own. There seemed to be no challenge he wasn’t up for, and he even put a laptop back together in his sleep and it powered on afterward! Mark was also a self-taught wood worker and built a beautiful sideboard as a 5th anniversary gift, using a picture from a magazine and a band saw.
 
It was with a servant's heart, and a love for his wife and daughters especially, that Mark courageously faced the past decade, full of more ambulance rides and hospital stays than a person can keep track of. He recovered time and again, and always attributed the miracles to God's great mercy and love. 
 
The last decade was a significant struggle, but it would have been impossible without the tireless efforts and support from Mark's medical teams. We ask that in lieu of flowers, you join Mark's loved ones in thanking and making a donation to those who helped make Mark's journey one full of hope and miracles: LHSC - Nephrology or Summerside Community Church.  Please sign up to become an organ donor. 
 
Mark's family would be honoured to receive friends at Summerside Community Church, 1447 Commissioners Rd. E., London, ON on Friday, December 30, 2022. Visitation at 1pm will precede a 2pm service, followed by light refreshments, as we collectively say goodbye to our beloved Mark.

After a lengthy, courageous battle with cancer, it is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Margaret ‘Florence’ Elliott on Wednesday December 14 at the age of 71.  Beloved wife of Garry for 51 years.  Loving mother of Tammy and Tim (Jenn).  Cherished and adoring grandmother of Chloe and Cassie.  Lovingly remembered by sister-in-law Phyllis Edwards, Mary (Rob) Huyzen, Edna Elliott and Judy Cotton.
 
Predeceased by her parents Willard and Elaine Cotton, Sister Sharon (Jim) Lucken, brother Junior Cotton, parents-in-law Roy and Norene Elliott, brothers-in-law Terry Elliott and Howard Edwards.  Remembered by many nieces and nephews.
 
Born in Summerside PEI, Florence and her family were stationed in various air force bases in Canada from PEI to Whitehorse to her final destination in Vanastra where she met her sweetheart and future husband Garry at the age of 14.  They were married on Nov 12, 1971, and began to raise their family at 176 Erie St Clinton, remaining there throughout their lives.
 
Florence met many good friends throughout the years of working as treasurers and site auditor at London Life, Clinton Town Hall, Clinton Public Hospital and OLG Slots.  Volunteering for Girl Guides, Heart & Stroke Foundation, Clinton United Church, and Clinton Spring Fair Board.  Everybody was always welcomed to the Elliott home no matter what day or time with her famous saying “would you like something to eat?”  She always made people feel welcome and part of the family.
 
Over the years they loved to travel to many destinations such as Florida, Alaska and all over Canada and US.
 
Being a grandma was the most fulfilling and important role of all.  Going to sporting events, cooking, baking, playing games were things that brought her utmost joy.  “The girls” were the highlight of her life.
 
Thank you to so many people throughout this long battle, but a special thank you to Dr. Loretta Seevaratnum, the HPHA nurses and staff, Huron Hospice Bender House as well her “angel” Shelley Hayter.  To our long-time friends and family, the Hallam and Finch families, we couldn’t have gotten through this without your continuous support. 
 
Cremation has taken place and Flo’s life will be celebrated at the Clinton United Church on Wednesday December 21 from 3pm – 6pm.  This will be an opportunity for people to stop in and reminisce.

In lieu of flowers and gifts, donations can be made to Huron Hospice Bender House, or a charity of your choice.

1956–2022

Frances Margaret Kudelka died at Chelsey Park in London, Ontario, after a brief illness.

She was born in Newmarket, Ontario, on October 7, 1956, to John and Kathleen Kudelka (née Kellington) and grew up on a dairy and sheep farm nearby, surrounded by her five older siblings and her paternal grandparents, Sandor and Rose Kudelka (Apu and Anyu).

She worked as an autoclave technician at Toronto Western Hospital for forty years, living all that time at the Stanley Knowles Cooperative at Yonge and Eglinton.

She is pre-deceased by her brother Phillip. Left to mourn are her siblings, Peter (Thelma), sister-in-law Maureen, Jan, Matthew (Deborah), and James, her nieces and nephews John (Michelle), Alison (Kevin), Andrew (Susan), Kate (Matt), Anna Kay, and Franklin (Marnie), and her great-nieces and great-nephews Owen, Xander, Isabel, Aaron, Russell,  Zoë, Milo, Harrison, and Arik.

Frances had a steel trap memory for everything to do with life on the farm. She was the one who always remembered what everyone else had forgotten. She loved pizza and going out for ice cream. She liked Stilton cheese and smoked salmon (not at the same time). She liked a very complicated Starbucks drink of her own invention (“Fran’s drink!,” according to the baristas when they saw her coming). She collected bells. She was fascinated by the Titanic and by the Romanov dynasty. She loved her cats, Dimdim and Maxie, and she loved 1930s Hollywood romances (so did Dimdim and Maxie). She never learned to drive a car or ride a bike, but when chronic health problems began to encroach on her life, she learned how to manoeuvre around the neighbourhood with a power wheelchair for as long as her health allowed it. She decided last summer to move to London to be closer to her nieces and nephews, and entered Chelsey Park in October of last year, where she watched Coronation Street with her sister every day, remotely on her iPad, until she died, on Friday, December 9.

Donations in memory of Frances (Aunt Fran) may be sent to Parkinson Canada. We miss her very much.
