    Notes:

    Died:
    Laurie Graham Smith
    It is with great sadness that the family of Laurie announce his peaceful passing, at age 90, on March 13, 2022, in Dykeland Lodge, Windsor. He was born April 7, 1931, in Hants Border, a son of the late Walter and Elta (Starratt) Smith. Dad was a man of few words, with a great sense of humour and a twinkle in his blue eyes. Laurie spent his early years working on the family farm. In the early 1950s he headed west, stopping in the Ottawa Valley to work in the bush and at the sawmill, and to do some farming. He then moved further west on the Harvest Excursion to experience farming in the Prairies. On his return home, he once again stopped in Ontario to drive a taxi. It was then that he picked up the best passenger ever - Betty, his wife of 67 years. They married and moved back to Nova Scotia to raise their family. Laurie truly enjoyed many years of driving trucks, before switching gears and selling his truck to drive a school bus. However, he continued to love “talking truck” with all who would listen, so pleased that many of his sons and sons in law followed in his footsteps. Even as his memory began to fade, Dad often spoke to Mom about needing to move his trailer. Laurie’s other great hobby was showing draft horses. Originally a Belgian man, he eventually changed over to Percherons and never looked back. Laurie’s was a familiar face at many area agricultural exhibitions over the years, and he made many great friends along the way. Laurie was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, uncle, and friend, and will certainly be missed. He was always very proud of his family, and a grin would show on his face at their antics. We have all added many of his famous phrases to our vocabulary, such as “that’s why we can’t have nice things” and “go tell your mother she wants you.” For a quiet man, he gave us many classics which will last for generations to come. Laurie was predeceased by his parents, his brother Lamont (Buster), and his sister Karleen, and his grandson Chadwick Smith. Donations in memory may be made to Dykeland Lodge, Windsor, or a charity of one’s choice. The family would like to extend a sincere Thank You to the entire staff at Dykeland Lodge. Burial will be held at a later date in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport.

  1. 7.  Marilyn Debra EldridgeMarilyn Debra Eldridge Descendancy chart to this point (2.Karleen2, 1.Elta1) was born on 20 May 1955 in PM Hospital, Windsor, Hants, Nova Scotia; died on 22 Jun 2023 in VG Site, QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

    Notes:

    Died:
    Marilyn Debra Eldridge

    Age 68, of Bishopville, peacefully passed away after a brief bout with lung cancer on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, in the VG Site, QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax. Debbie was born in the old Payzant Hospital in Windsor, to the late Paul and Karleen (Smith) Eldridge on May 20, 1955.

    Debbie attended Horton District High School and graduated around 1973. She had the opportunity to work at Bonny Lea Farms a few summers in her teenage years and this inspired her career of helping and caring for others as a nurse. Deb spent 31 years looking after patients at the VG Hospital on 7A, 9A and the 10th floor with a number of beloved and cherished nurse friends.

    Debbie had numerous hobbies and passions. She always had a furry friend nearby, either a horse in the earlier years or a playful cat, who had been aptly named after a favourite historical figure. Debbie was constantly reading and some of her favourite subjects to read about were the royal family, Winston Churchill, local history, the murder mysteries of Mary Higgins Clark and the fantastical world of Terry Brooks. It was virtually impossible to beat Debbie in a game of Trivial Pursuit due to the vast number of disparate random facts she had amassed from her voracious reading. Reading about the royals and Churchill was supplemented by her many trips to Britain. London was by far her favourite place to sojourn, though she had also enjoyed travelling to Australia, South America and the USA. Following in her ancestor’s family footsteps, she spent many hours puttering in her garden and had a special fondness for the Victorian garden she cultivated in her backyard.

    In the past few years Deb took a keen interest in her family genealogy and this branched out to volunteering and working for the West Hants Historical Society where she enthusiastically shared her passion for local history. She will be fondly remembered by her curling buddies at the Windsor Curling Club. She always enjoyed watching curling on TV and was so proud of herself for taking up the sport and not being half bad at it.

    Besides her parents, Deb was predeceased by her stepfather, Melvin Hebb.

    Debbie’s wisdom, sage advice and witty sarcasm will be sorely missed by all her friends and family.
