November 22, 1922 – April 11, 2015

Ellen passed away peacefully at the age of 92. She was predeceased by her husband, Norman who died in 2007. She will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Margaret Kokayko (Calgary); her children, Trevor (Ruth), Karen Fettes (George) and Gail White; her grandchildren, Ryan McIntyre (Kara), Aaron McIntyre, Lesley Fettes (Dan), Alastair Fettes (Alexa) and Sabrina White and great-grandchildren, Nyah, Larix, and Idunn. Ellen grew up on the Prairies, met and married Norman, a New Zealand air gunner, in Calgary. She traveled as a McIntyre, Ellen-web 2war bride to Christchurch, New Zealand where she and Norman lived for 7 years. They returned to Calgary in 1953 where she worked as a secretary. In 1998, they moved to Sidney, B.C. to enjoy the seaside and quiet pace of life that the town offered.  The family would like to thank Shannon of Saint Elizabeth Health Care and Dr. C. James of Associated Physicians in Sidney, as well as the many friends and care providers that enabled Ellen to remain in her own home until she died.

At Ellen’s request there will be no service.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

    Dear Trevor and Ruth and family,
    It is so hard to lose a parent, no matter when. My thoughts are with you these days. I know your family took great care of her, and loved her so much. I have found, you never lose your parents, really. Their voices and advice are always with us, as we need them.
    Much love to you
    Lona
