Obituary:


FOX, Nancy (Kyle) - Peacefully, with family by her side, Monday, July 27, 2015. Devoted wife of the late Joseph (Jay); loving mother of Laurie (Maureen) and Greg (Ann).  She was a loving grandmother of Alison, Lindsey, Wendy, Julie and Amy and great grandmother of Jared, Devyn and Peyton .  Dear sister of Hilda (John Wenrick). Predeceased by brother Jack Kyle (Madelaine). Born in Victoria, Nancy was a dedicated army wife moving across the country and ending up in Ottawa for many years. Mom was a great inspiration with her positive and happy outlook.  She was dedicated to her family, church and music.  She followed her love of golf and her passion for music - playing cello in the Ottawa Civic Symphony and the Parkdale United Church Orchestra.  Nancy was a mainstay at Carleton University where she started in its early days as Carleton College, until she retired as secretary to the VP of Finance.  She was a gentle soul whose first thoughts were always of others.  We will miss her ready smile and constant support.  Special thanks to her many caregivers who provided love and compassion during her challenges with Alzheimer's.  There will be a Celebration of Life on Friday, August 7th, 2015 from 7 to 9pm in the Bytown Room at the Southway Inn Hotel (2431 Bank St. Ottawa, ON).  Donations  to the Alzheimer's Society are appreciated.

In Loving Memory of Franz John Marschall...




Born: April 1, 1926 in Greifenstein, Austria
Passed: July 13, 2015 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Obituary:

Franz John Marschall departed this life peacefully, with family by his side, at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa, at the age of 89.

Franz’s parents were Therese Hechinger and Alexander Marschall. He grew up on a farm in Himberg, Lower Austria, and studied at a local agricultural school before coming to Canada in 1954. In the early years, he worked as a gardener in the Ottawa area. In 1974, he obtained a BA from Carleton University. Former students will remember him as a horticultural instructor at Algonquin College, Ottawa, and former clients for his landscaping business, Down to Earth. He enjoyed such outdoor activities as swimming, cycling, and skiing. Other favourite pastimes included good books, good conversation, scrabble, listening to music and CBC Radio, following his teams, the Senators and the Blue Jays. Franz maintained strong ties with his family and friends, and never forgot a birthday. We will all miss his ready wit and Austrian charm, and of course his goulash.

In 2014, Franz was predeceased by his ex-wife, Barbara Pitre Tanner, in Yarmouth, NS. He leaves behind a son Walter Krautsieder (Monika), of Gross-Enzersdorf, Austria; daughters Christine Mayer of Ottawa and Diane Ferrier of Picton; two grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and a nephew in Austria; another nephew in Australia. He was especially fond of his granddaughter in Ottawa, Erica Ashfield. Franz will live on in the heart of his “Sweetie,” Lynda Muir, and in the garden that he lovingly created for her.
