Dear Frank,

Your mother was an important part of my life as I was growing up and I have fond memories of her. She was fun to be around, had a great personality and was always positive in her outlook. Her gardening skills were remarkable and I still have a few of her peonies. I will remember her ready smile, her hardy laugh and her kind and caring ways. She was a great asset to her community and I know she was missed when she moved away. These past few years have not been easy and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your girls at this time.

Love and Blessings, Rob and Sandra

Althea will be missed. Those chats with her at the Maitland Bridge suppers in July and those extra deserts were treasured by our entire family. She was also an unrivaled church and community leader.

Condolence from Iona Charlton and Carma on December 21st, 2017 10:13 pm

To Frank, Sally, Angie and families. I Have found it very difficult to visit Althea and watch her go downhill these last couple of years, facing her illness very bravely. She was a wonderful caring person, and she enjoyed every visit, even as she missed her family most of all. She has been sadly missed in our community and church, and many prayers offered up for her wellbeing.Rest in peace, Althea.From Iona and Carman.
