FERGUSON, Eleanor Marion Stewart (nee HARRIS) - January 26, 1930 – April 21, 2019
Having lived a full life, on her own terms, Eleanor passed suddenly, but peacefully, early Easter Sunday, in the presence of family.
Predeceased by husband Ian, Eleanor is fondly and sadly missed by her sons Jeffrey and Steven and their wives Catherine and Jacqueline; her grandchildren Ian and Hayley; brother and confidant Neil; sister and friend Audrey. "Auntie E." is also missed by nieces Jennifer, Elizabeth, Nancy, Lori, Adrianne as well as nephew Ronald and their extended families.
Also to be missed by Margie, Karen and Shawna who played an important part in Eleanor's life.
Born in Toronto where she lived for the majority of her life, save for a short period in the late 60's when she resided in Winnipeg with her husband Ian and her sons until Ian's passing in 1969, Eleanor then returned to Toronto with her sons.
Active in her church, the Church of the Ascension in Don Mills, until her passing, Eleanor was a member of the ACW (Anglican Church Women) and the Altar Guild.
According to Eleanor's wishes, a private family service was held on May 11th with interment on May 13th.
Thank you to Drs. LeClerc and Harrison of the Belleville General Hospital for their truly remarkable caring and consideration in Eleanor's care. Special thanks to Father Nick Morkel and everyone at the Church of the Ascension for their kindness and support.
Feisty and fiercely independent to the end, Eleanor's memory may be honoured through a donation to "Belleville General Hospital Fund", the "Church of the Ascension", Overland Drive, Toronto, for their building fund, or to a charity of your choice.
