"Only love allows us to see the greatness in the other; only love allows the educator to wish the greatness and the value of the person to grow and only love makes the educator able to be concerned with the actualization of this greatness as if it were his own.

Parsons, Loretta
(née Bradley)

Passed away from pancreatic cancer at the Ottawa General Hospital on January 18th, 2009 at the young age of 61. She left this world too soon and will be missed by all who knew her. Loretta created beauty in the world around her. She loved and nurtured people, plants and animals. Strangers felt welcome in her home. Sick animals were tenderly nursed back to health. Magnificent blooms abounded in her garden. She enjoyed traveling to many areas of the world, as well as a good meal, and was interested in current events, live music, film, and her always present CBC radio! She was one of the smartest and most practical people you would ever meet. Loretta highly valued education and learning and was engaged in the world until the end. Loretta lived her life in fast forward. Born in Mary’s Harbour, Labrador on December 10, 1947, she grew up in Indian Cove. She left home at the tender age of 15 to pursue higher education, and was the first in her family to go on to post-secondary education. While at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, she met and fell in love with Scott at the age of 19. They were married in May 1968 and began their family soon after. Loretta balanced motherhood and family life with a successful career as teacher, librarian, manager with Information Canada, and technical publications editor with the RCMP, from which she retired in 1998. In her retirement, she enjoyed further travel, and time at home with her pets, garden and family. Loretta lived life fully until the end. She faced her difficult illness with considerable strength and courage, maintaining her independent spirit against all odds. She was described as stoic by many. Loretta will be sorely missed and forever remembered, cherished and loved by husband Scott, daughters Karen and Kim, son Jason (engaged to Vanessa), and her siblings Larry, Shirley, David and Kirby, as well as her nieces and nephews. She was the best person we have ever known. She was predeceased by her father Donald, mother Violet and brother Terry. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 from 7-9 pm at Heritage Funeral Home, 2871 St. Joseph Blvd., Orleans.

Tony is also survived by his friend and former spouse, Monique Le Duc; sister Jadvyga Regina and many nieces and nephews located across the globe. Born in Lithuania, Tony came to Canada in 1948 where he found his true home and a love of science. His early meteorological work took him on fascinating and long-term assignments in some of Canada's most isolated weather stations, including the Arctic. Tony worked at the Toronto Weather Office; Transport Canada; and was Head of the Ottawa Weather Office for Environment Canada. He later worked in Administration for the Meteorological Service at National Defence. He retired in 1990 after 31 years of service with the Federal Government. Tony was a proud Canadian and took greater pleasure in celebrating his 60th anniversary of Canadian citizenship than in celebrating his 80th birthday, both milestones he reached in 2008. In his later years, he was an avid badminton league player at the RA, but also enjoyed skiing, hiking, hunting and fishing in his younger days. His passion and appreciation for the Canadian wilderness, its water and the outdoors in general are well instilled in his children and subsequently, his grandchildren. At Tony's request, a private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Hospice at May Court www.hospicemaycourt.com would be graciously accepted.
