LORNA MARY REID
The death of Mrs. Lorna Mary (Scotty) (Hawkins) Reid, wife of Mr. James A. Reid, 272 Adelaide Street, Almonte, occurred suddenly at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, on Thursday, December 18, 1975, in her 46th year. Mrs. Reid had been employed as a twister operator at Zephyr Textiles. She was a member of Paul’s Anglican Church and of Ladies’ Auxiliary of Branch 240, Royal Canadian Legion, Almonte. She was a very active member of the Lanark New Democratic Party. Born in Almonte on April 10, 1930, she was a daughter of the late C. H. Hawkins and his wife, Mary Ann McDougall. On November 4, 1950, she was married at Almonte to James A. Reid. Surviving besides her husband are three sons, Wayne, Allan and Thomas, all of Almonte; two daughters, Wendy, Mrs. Wayne Wark, Lanark, and Mary Ann, Mrs. Stephen Brydges, Almonte; two brothers, Raymond and Robert Hawkins, of Toronto; and four sisters, Mrs. Vera Blondell; Mrs. Hazel Kelly, Mississauga, Ont.; Mrs. Marg. Holden, Weston, Ont., and Mrs. Marilyn Lucas, Carleton Place. The funeral was held from the Comba Funeral Home, Church Street, Almonte, at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 20, with interment at Auld Kirk Cemetery. Rev. G. F. Bickley of St. Paul’s Church conducted the services. Pallbearers were Stephen Brydges, Wayne Wark, Fred Kelly, Gordon Rattray, Helmut Lucas and Ben Blondell. A very impressive Legion service was conducted at the funeral home on Friday evening, Dec. 19, with many of her fellow comrades in attendance. The vast number of floral tributes and other expressions of sympathy bore witness to the high esteem in which Scotty’s friends and neighbors held her.

On Tuesday March 14, 2017 Terry passed away in his home with his family by his side. Terry was 70 years old. Loving husband of Cathy Gorman (nee Liddle) of 44 years.

Predeceased by his parents John Gorman and Lila Gorman (nee Kavanagh and by first marriage of the late Alfred O’Brien), Sisters Nancy McBane, Mary Miller (nee O’Brien) and brothers Joe, Jack and Ray. Fondly remembered by his sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, his euchre friends and his neighbours “The Gore Street Goats”. Special thanks to the nurses Kelsey, Terralyn, Krista, Leslie and Marilyn. Terry spent much of his life in the service of others. Whether it was working alongside his friend and brother-in-law at the Almonte Ambulance or helping with the many organizations and committees he was a part of the (Children’s Aid Society, Highland Games, Almonte Senior Girls Softball, Deputy Reeve for Almonte Town Council and many more). The most important things in Terry’s life were his family and friends (immediate and extended). He enjoyed good company, conversation and a game of cards. Terry was natural born story teller and could hold a room waiting on every word until the end. Terry leaves behind a legacy of hard work, quick wit, great jokes and many more fond memories. Cheers to you Terry!
