Obituary:

Thomas James Hughes

1949-2015

Thomas, daddy, butch, Jim, James, Papa; whatever you called him there was love and respect behind it. He was a soft soul hidden behind a tough exterior. He had a good heart and for those he loved he would move the moon and stars just to make you smile. He never demanded anything but something about him commanded respect. He was an honest and hard worker who lived for his family. He leaves behind a wife; a gorgeous human being inside and out that he loved more than there are words in any vocabulary.  Three children; those time and space may separate they all stayed close in the heart.  He also leaves behind seven grandchildren; some he’s never met and some he knows all too well, but regardless of knowing them or not he loved them with a great passion. He also leaves behind four siblings who he would share great stories about until the early morning hours. There is extended family, friends, co-workers and the like that he would have loved to have had a few drinks with and catching up on old times. No matter near, far, distance of time he always would light up and jump right into the conversation like you had never been apart. Now he is joined with his mother and father, daughter and grandson; people he’s longed to visit. He’s smiling, causing a tiny bit of trouble and passing time until we can all meet like old times.

Always on our minds, forever in our hearts.

In loving memory of Ursula Emberley

Obituary:

Our beautiful family matriarch, MONA WILLIAMS (nee Piché), was born on December 8, 1915. On Friday, March 13, 2015, in her 100th year, her beautiful blue eyes closed forever.

Although her passing saddens us, we are grateful for the blessing of her sharp mind, as it allowed her to quench her thirst for knowledge until the very end, and to have lively conversations with us, despite the physical challenges of her latter years. 

She taught us valuable lessons about love, hard work, tenacity, kindness, stoicism, curiosity, resiliency, and so much more. We enjoyed listening to her tales about her life experiences, and her thoughts on events and innovations that occurred throughout her lifetime. We never tired of hearing about that special night in March 1932 when she fell in love with her gallant Ernest while he taught her to skate on the local outdoor rink. That love grew into 59 years of marriage, the birth of four cherished children (Marlyn, Beverly, Barry and Carol), and the making of a wealth of wonderful memories. Our very special lady was very fond of her three sons-in-law, Harry Coyles (Marlyn), Marcel Sarazin (Beverly), and Roger Ladouceur (Carol), and her daughter-in-law, Sam (Barry). She was tremendously proud of her brood of 15 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. 

Endowed with a keen sense of humour, her eyes twinkled and her smile would light up the room when we regaled her with stories about the activities, travels, and accomplishments of family members, but especially when we spoke of the children’s shenanigans. 

Predeceased by her sisters and brother, and many friends and relatives, she especially grieved the passing of her husband, Ernest in 1994, and the loss of her son Barry, grandson Philippe, son-in-law Roger, and her diamond in the rough, grand-daughter Kelly. She leaves to mourn her loving daughters and their families, and her sister Muriel. 

As she requested, there will be no funeral service. In her memory, donations to the Ottawa Humane Society would be gratefully appreciated.

In loving memory of Donald Gauthier...
