    Kathryn Anne Campbell passed away on Feb. 14, 2022. She is survived by her husband John David Campbell (Com'75).

    Kathryn and John met during Frosh Week in the fall of 1971 and were married in Theological Hall by Padre Laverty on May 11, 1974. Their time at Queen's remained a beloved touchstone throughout their 50 years together. One infamous story recalled how Kathryn used oil paints to write 카지노 게임 컬렉션œNo John David카지노 게임 컬렉션 on the steps of Victoria Hall during a lonely weekend in first year 카지노 게임 컬렉션” the university had to sandblast the steps to remove her handiwork! This was but one of the many tales from Queen's told to their children Alexandra Edie (Artsci'06), Genevieve Couper (Comp'08), and Suzanne Gouthro.

    Kathryn practised as a chartered accountant for many years in the Toronto, Peterborough, and Ottawa regions. She rose to the position of CFO of the City of Kanata and the City of Gloucester before returning to Queen's to complete her Bachelor of Education.

    Kathryn then went on to have a fulfilling second career teaching high school to developmentally-delayed teenagers in Peterborough. She was born at home on a cold Feb. 14 Valentine카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Day in 1952 to Pat and Hope Birnie of New Liskeard. As a Valentine's Day baby, the occasion was always special for Kathryn.

    She died at home in Ennismore, Ont., on Valentine카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Day, surrounded by family and many dozens of flowers, following a brief battle with pancreatic cancer. 

    The family are grateful that they were able to toast her 70th birthday together and help her through the final hours of her life by sharing stories, music, laughter, and tears 카지노 게임 컬렉션“ many of which included Queen's memories and connections. She will be dearly missed by John, her daughters, grandchildren, extended family, and many, many friends.

    Ruth Isabel Brown

    카지노 게임 컬렉션“ BA카지노 게임 컬렉션™49

    Spring 2022

    Ruth Isabel Brown passed away on Dec. 8, 2021. She was 105. She is survived by her nieces, Brenda Brochu, Esther Brown, and Beverley Brown; grandniece Denise Brochu and grandnephew Vincent Brochu and their families. She was predeceased by her parents and brother Bob Brown.

    Ruth was born in Ensleigh, Alta., on Oct. 29, 1916. Her father returned from the First World War only to die in the flu epidemic of 1919. Her mother was forced to move back to her family's farm, near Daysland, east of Camrose. Ruth experienced first-hand the drought and hardship of the Great Depression on a western farm. By the time the Second World War broke out in 1939, she was working for the Alberta Department of Education in Edmonton. She enlisted in the WRENs and served in Scotland as a "captain's writer" attached to H.M.C.S. Naden. It was a transformational experience.

    After discharge she obtained a BA from Queen's, followed by a Master of Social Work from the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto. After graduation, she worked in the field of child welfare in Toronto. She then moved to Ottawa to work in policy for the Department of Health and Welfare, where she was involved with the development of the Canada Health Act and universal medical insurance. Throughout her life she exhibited dignity, exceptional discipline, intelligence, and a profound determination to be independent. She cherished her health, her house, her life, and friends in the Glebe (Ottawa), a parade of cats, an array of newspapers and, paradoxically, ballroom dancing. She was an inspiration to all.

    Douglas F. Barbour

    Spring 2022

    Douglas F. Barbour passed away on Sept. 25, 2021. He was 81. He is survived by his wife, Sharon; his nephews Greg Barbour (Monica, Anja, Kael) and Jay Barbour (Anne, Gerritt); his godchildren, Annie and Michael Beard (Sanja, Daniel, Lukas); and a wide family of friends and relatives.

    Family, friends, and colleagues of Edmonton poet and critic, Douglas Barbour, are mourning his loss. A professor at the 카지노게임사이트 of Alberta for many years, he was an active member of the Edmonton literary community, supporting local events and poets, and bringing in readers, often putting them up, to share with his community. As co-founder of NeWest Press, he was a supporter of Western Canadian writers; as a poet, he was an ambassador for Canadian poetry in his national and international reading tours. He was in contact with fellow poets around the world until his death.

    In 2003, Douglas was inaugurated into the City of Edmonton Hall of Fame. In 2018, he was given a lifetime achievement award for outstanding contribution to Canadian literature by the Alberta Book Publishers Association. Just recently, the association renamed the speculative fiction award the Douglas Barbour Speculative Fiction Award in recognition of his critical contributions to the field of science fiction and fantasy.

    He is being remembered by many for his generosity, his kindness, and his joyous engagement with life: art, music, poetry, and everyone around him.

He is survived by Janice (Marchand), father to Ian; stepfather of Ann and Greg Folker; his mother, Ruth Ann Harris; siblings, Jon, Wally (Laura Dawson) (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션™86) and Susan; nephew Graham (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션˜20); and longtime friends Steven Fehr (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션™84), John Keith (Law 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜91), and Joan Harcourt, Literary Editor, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Quarterly.

    Family, friends and colleagues are gutted by the sudden loss of Stuart. He was a thoughtful person and respected driver of semi-trailers and heavy off-road vehicles from his youth until early February. When not applying knowledge from his Dalhousie 카지노게임사이트 BComm or his time in Goodwin Hall to the petroleum sector or atmospheric gases in Canada and the U.S., he maintained his personal fleet of 카지노 게임 컬렉션œbuggies카지노 게임 컬렉션 favouring the W123. Stuart카지노 게임 컬렉션™s attention to detail and depth of knowledge about the equipment in his care were unmatched. He maintained his fitness as an avid long-distance cyclist and enjoyed downhill skiing.

    Roger Burton Stotts was a proud graduate of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in metallurgical engineering in 1953. In spite of the fact that he went on to earn a Master카지노 게임 컬렉션™s of engineering science from the 카지노게임사이트 of Western Ontario (as it was then known) in 1970, his love for and loyalty to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s was unwavering. He died at his home in Stratford, Ont., in the company of as many members of his family as could be there in these COVID times, including his wife of 68 years, Mary Eleanor (MacDowell) Stotts. A lifelong baseball player, coach, and fan, his final words were 카지노 게임 컬렉션œBatter up!카지노 게임 컬렉션
