It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Grace Margaret Saddler (nee Poulton) on May 29, 2019 from Alzheimer’s disease at the Margaret Bahen Hospice, Newmarket with her daughters at her side.
Grace was born September 20, 1925 in St. Lambert. The daughter of Daisy Evans and George Poulton, she was predeceased by her three older brothers Harry, Frank and Richard and by her loving husband Albert Ernest (Ernie) Saddler in 2017. She is survived by her three daughters, Carol, Donna and Janet, son-in-law, Alan Owler and grandson, Colin.
We would like to thank Nichelle Stewart for her loving care of Grace over the last eight years, the staff at the Sunrise Residence in Aurora, the amazing medical team at Southlake Hospital in Newmarket who treated her over the last few years and the outstanding end-of-life care at the Margaret Bahen Hospice.
Grace and Ernie met while working at IBM in Montreal, fell madly in love and were married in 1948. They spent their entire married life in St. Lambert until Ernie’s Alzheimer’s disease made it necessary to separate them after 60 years of marriage.
Her daughters could not have asked for a happier home, blessed with parents who were a loving team.
Grace was a tireless knitter, seamstress and gardener. She was a wonderful mother, wife and friend. She generously gave her time to supporting the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary and St. Lambert Legion – Branch 68. Grace loved nothing better than dancing with Ernie and we know they are once again dancing in each other’s arms.
Please remember, people with Alzheimer’s should not be ignored and will thrive
with your continued love and attention.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday June 15, 2019 at 2:00pm at the
Collins Clarke MacGillivray White Funeral Home,
Dignity Memorial,
307 Riverside,
