Gloria Nickerson, April 8, 1931-September 15, 2021

Picture
Peacefully in the morning of September 15, 2021 at Fairmount Home, Mom, 90 passed on to the next stage of her life while holding my hand. There to greet her is her husband, Brenton (1971), son Peter (2007), daughter Catherine (Neumayer/Tatton (2013) and her mom and dad, Clifton and Catherine Nickerson of Barrington Passage Nova Scotia, along with her sister Sandra. She is survived by her daughter Joanne McDonnell (Jim) of Battersea, 5 grandchildren, Joe (Tanya) Neumayer, Amanda (Colin) Neumayer, Leanne Neumayer, Jeremy (Heather) McDonnell all of Ottawa and Sarah (Ian) Neumayer of Hinton Alberta, along with 5 great-grandchildren Nora, Sophia, Mason, Morgan and Hayden.

She leaves behind her sisters Joyce (late Dave) Ryan of Mississauga and Karen (Graham) Townsend of Bridgewater, NS and their families. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date. I promised mom one more trip to NS, so her ashes will be taken to Nova Scotia in the future so she can be reunited with my dad, who has waited 50 years for her to join him. Thank you does not seem enough to the staff and caregivers at Fairmount Home. Your kindness and love were given to her every day, and for that you have the family's heartfelt thank you.

Nothing brought a smile to her face faster than animals, therefore in lieu of flowers, if you wish to make a donation to the Kingston Humane Society  it would be appreciated by the family.

Do You Remember ​?

Is Now Forgotten!
The last (15th) “Do You Remember” scenario
was posted (and correctly answered).
The contest is being retired (at least for now) but you can see the Scenarios and the responses they generated by clicking on the Contest link in the Navigation Bar at the top of the page.

The “Do You Remember” series of scenarios were developed by 3M (our Mystery Memory Maven – aka Humble Scribe—aka Dick Tindal)

 Root Cellar Memories

Dick Tindal's Retiree Association column in a recent issue of Voyageur  focused on the Root Cellar and its role in the rich social life of the college in the early decades. Dick  issued an invitation to our members to share their memories of this venerable site.  He is pleased to pass along this contribution from John Mason which illustrates the extensive volunteer activities of early Root Cellar members.
