AUGER, Simone - Our dear Simone passed away on November 10, 2020 in Toronto at the age of 86, following a series of small strokes and previously undiagnosed ovarian cancer.
A calamitous, sad end to a gentle life, though she was able to employ Canada’s progressive Medical Assistance in Dying Act, aided by two most humane physicians.
Simone was a native of Montreal, born in modest circumstances. The middle of three sisters, they lost their mother to cancer while still young children. The Catholic nuns proved to be some measure of replacement, and Simone loved the formal learning they provided. The first in her family to attend university, Simone received a classical education first at the University of Montreal and subsequently at the Sorbonne in Paris; she received degrees from both. Returning reluctantly to Canada from France, she was promptly hired as an arts journalist at Montreal's La Presse newspaper, simply because an editor said he liked the sound of her voice on the telephone. She always chuckled at this lax hiring process, though she did have a lovely speaking voice.
Simone soon became a respected movie critic and arts journalist in Montreal. Then following her marriage to an American poet and teacher name Richard Uhlich, she moved to New York City and became a radio and TV producer for Radio Canada/CBC, covering the arts and ideas for most of the 1960s. She interviewed and profiled such figures as Anais Nin, Edgard Varèse, and Salvador Dali, while keeping up her weekly arts column for La Presse, and later writing and taping a weekly NY arts diary radio column for Radio Canada.
