Lila Malvina O'Grady

   1920  -  2021

Lila was born in rural Quebec to Victor and Malvina (Lena) Keyes, and she had three brothers, Gerald, Elwood and Claude. In her teens, Lila and her family moved to Timmins in northern Ontario, from where most of her family later either relocated to Ottawa during the Second World War, or were already serving in the military overseas.
For Lila, her world became 60-hour work weeks at a bakery or the A&P, and long walks home to a rooming house or boarding house. For some of those years, she and her parents lived in the same rooming house. Those were different times from today, and much the norm for many. She was quietly popular, and the pinnacle of social events for her and her friends was the annual ball at the Château Laurier downtown.
Lila and Danny O’Grady married in their early 30’s, nearly twenty years after they had met in Timmins. From Ottawa, they moved back up north. Dan was working as a fire control officer and they started their marriage in Abitibi Camp 34. Their only child, Vicky, was born during this time.
Dan had previously been employed by the Ontario provincial Department of Lands and Forests and returned to this work in the Smooth Rock Falls area. The family remained here until the mid-1960’s, and from there they moved to a series of communities across northeastern and northwestern Ontario --- Hornepayne, Cochrane, Sioux Lookout, Pickle Crow, Red Lake, Thunder Bay. Over a period of approximately five years, Danny’s position rose, from assistant to a deputy ranger, to the chief ranger position for the city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area. It was a meteoric rise in rank and a challenging series of transitions for the family. Always far from relatives and old friends, Lila handled the many moves and settlings-in with grace and acceptance.
Lila and Dan moved from Thunder Bay to White River, spent seven years there, and upon retirement they moved south to the town of Tweed. They bought a home there and Tweed became their home base for the next two decades. They often travelled, almost entirely in Canada and the US.
Lila and Dan were both bright, conscientious, meticulous and organized, two people who’d grown up at least as poor as everyone else, and appreciated what their own sacrifices and hard work had brought them. They were dutiful, generous people who took good care of whatever they had, and tried to make beauty where they could. It would be no exaggeration that you could eat off of Lila’s kitchen floor, and off the floor mats in Dan’s Suburban.
After so many years of marriage, it was very, very hard for Lila to lose her husband. After Dan, Lila decided to move to Saskatoon, though it was likely the most drastic move of any of those she’d ever had to make. With time, and by God’s grace and her own efforts, she settled here and a new page was written in her already long life.
Lila made many friends in Saskatoon. They speak different languages and belong to different cultural groups and religions. Some are in her general age range, while others could be her grandchildren or great-grand-children, without even counting the little ones.
Despite being 101, Lila would very much have liked to live a bit longer. She had been in very good health and wanted more, more, more of this world, of her friends, her family, her love of reading. She left quietly but reluctantly, and is now more than deeply missed.
Her funeral service took place at Saskatoon Funeral Home, 338 4th Ave North, on Monday, October 25, 2021 at 1:00 pm.
Lila will be intered beside her husband Dan, at St. Carthagh's Cemetery, Tweed, on Saturday, November 20 at 1 PM

Peacefully on the morning of Sunday, January 3, in her 70th year, Mary Catherine Marguerite Cassidy (known as Catherine) died from a head injury after a fall along with complications from Covid-19.

Catherine was a lawyer in Hamilton, first forming one of the earliest female legal partnerships in Ontario - Wallace and Cassidy. She then joined the Catholic Children's Aid Society of Hamilton, where she worked as legal counsel for over 25 years. She was well respected in the Hamilton legal community, forming many friendships and ultimately being awarded the Patricia Wallace Community Service Award, which recognizes lawyers who practice family law in Hamilton and whose community service and professional conduct best exemplify the qualities of Justice Wallace. Catherine also volunteered with L'Arche Hamilton, acting on their Board of Directors for many years.

Jim and Catherine travelled in their younger years, before eventually deciding to build a cottage in Catherine's hometown of Tweed so that they could spend more time there enjoying family.

Clifford (Tiny) Rivers

God called Clifford Joseph (Tiny) Rivers to his reward. He's with Muriel, the love of his life, and his parents Edward and Mary, sisters Anne, Emma, Monica and Marylin and brothers Bill , Si , Edward , Don , Leonard, and Earl. He enjoyed visiting and spending time with his in-laws Grant and Margaret Baker and Lawrence and Marie Courneya and travelling with Wilf and Fran O'Hearn.

His nine grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren will miss poppa's teasing. Many, many nieces and nephews have fond memories. Dad was a lifelong resident of Tweed, where he loved coaching hockey. His love of Tweed Minor Hockey continued as a regular fixture in the stands at kid's games. Following his service for Canada during WWII he volunteered for the US Army after VE Day and became a proud member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 428. Tiny spent many happy hours there with his large group of friends. This year his Habs gave him the gift of a great season. He taught us there's a right way and a wrong way to do things. We now know there's a right way, a wrong way, and Tiny's way - which was the best way. A man of strong opinions he appreciated those of others even if he didn't agree with them. His greatest pride was his family. Dad loved having us all together. If there was a Family Feud sporting event involved, that made it even better. We have fond memories involving hockey, baseball, card games, and family get-to-gethers. The family thanks the staff, particularly the nurses, PSWs, dietary and housekeeping at Moira Place for the care given and relationships you had with Tiny. They brightened his days. Special thanks to all that worked the last few days of dad's life. The love expressed to our father over those few days filled our hearts.

Helen Frances Yanch (Nee Nolan)

December 14, 1919 - August 11, 2021

Mother was in her 102nd year and passed peacefully at Pine Meadow Nursing Home in Northbrook, August 11, 2021.

              Helen was the oldest surviving of the 14 children of Edward (Ned) Nolan and Anita Plue of Actinolite, Ontario.  In 1940, she married Elwin Yanch and moved to Flinton where she lived most of her life.  Helen was predeceased by her husband Elwin Yanch, brothers Vincent, Leo, Jack, Kenneth, Edward and Bill, and sisters May Nolan, Terresa Hubble, Kathleen Regan, Marguerite Jerome, Reverend Sister Mary Andrea, Rita Burke and Olive Golden.  Helen has been lovingly cared for by the staff at Pine Meadow Nursing Home, Northbrook for the last 8 years, and the family are grateful to them all.

              Helen is the much loved mother to Carolyn (Bruce Hasler) of Flinton, Harold (Paula) of Halifax, Elaine (John Bolton) of Cloyne, Glenn (Vera) of Oshawa, Joanne (Warren Cuddy) of Scarborough, Edward (Helen) of Flinton and Marian (Harry Scanlan) of Stirling.  She is Grandma Y to 19 grandchildren, over 40 great-grandchildren, and several “great-great” grandchildren.  She has always been a kind, selfless person, totally devoted to her Church and family.  As a family, she has given us the gift of her faith and it is a foundation for all of us.  She raised us to be independent and to value hard work and education.  She was proud of how we all turned out (even when she sometimes had her doubts).

              Helen was poor most of her life, so she was extremely frugal, but endlessly generous with her love for all of us.  She often showed this love through her baking.  Each member of the family has a favourite treat that she always managed to remember and have on hand.  We were thrilled in 2011 that she was well enough to co-create a special cookbook of her recipes to share the memories, secrets and her baking legacy.  It is a treasured keepsake across the generations and we are all working to perfect the special recipes, but her magic is the missing ingredient.

              Helen will be missed by her family, many nieces, nephews and friends.   In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Pine Meadow Nursing Home, the Alzheimer's Society, Covenant House, or a charity of your choice.  Friends will be received at the Cassidy Funeral Home, Tweed on Friday, August 13, from 1 - 4pm and at St. John the Evangelist Church, Flinton, Ontario, on Saturday, August 14 from 10 - 11am.  A Private Family Mass will follow.  Graveside prayers will be at St. John the Evangelist Cemetery at 11:45am.  

Due to covid restrictions, friends must register for the visitation and/or Graveside Prayers at (613) 478-3807.
