He served in many capacities and gained a love of travel that continued after his retirement. He served with the air force for 24 years and retired with the rank of Major in 1976. Joe then worked for Transport Canada. At his retirement in 1989 he received a citation for 40 years of service to the Government of Canada.

LARDER EDMONDSON Barbara Lorraine She fought the good fight; she finished the race". On October 14, 2020, Barbara Lorraine Larder Edmondson left us, and we mourn her passing. She completed her marathon with grace, determination, energy, valor and always a sense of humor. She was a faithful and loyal companion, generous to a fault, and always thinking of her family and friends. She is predeceased by her mother and father, Elizabeth Heather and John William Larder, and her brother, David, grandson Christopher Mason, as well as Brother-in-law, Ed Birmingham. Barbara and her twin sister, Jo, were born while her parents served in the Armed Forces in Great Britain during World War II. John served in the Royal Artillery Regiment in the Canadian Army and Heather in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, Searchlight Regiment. The twins lived with their great Aunt Marjorie Templer-Townley in Fulbourn Manor, located in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, England. Barbara was very fond of Aunt Marjorie, who was a renowned artist and designer in the UK. Their mother Heather with Barbara and Jo in tow emigrated from England to Nova Scotia on the great ship, the Queen Mary, when the twins were two; their names are listed on the ship's register, as Barbara confirmed in person during a trip to California. The family spent most of Barbara's formative years in their home base of St. John's, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canada. After High School, she entered the General Hospital School of Nursing in St. Johns, graduating in 1964. Barbara moved to the USA after graduation, finally living in Texas, where she spent the rest of her years. There she met Billy Frank Edmondson and later married him in Houston on February 14, 1969; they remained married until her passing. They shared their love of music and dancing, and spent many years together dining, listening to live music, and dancing. Barbara's home for nursing was Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas (now THR), and she was one of the earliest hires for the new hospital. Her management expertise was soon recognized, and she spent many years as Head Nurse in the Emergency Department. It was there that she forged life-long relationship with her friends, Patricia Nevels, Carole Campbell and Sandra Meadows. Their bond lasts until this day, and they spent many wonderful times traveling the world to places in Europe, St. Thomas, Edisto Island, San Francisco, Green Valley, AZ., Ashville, NC., Washington, DC and New York City. They enjoyed many trips to Mexico resulting in a wealth of interesting stories! The Presbyterian "Golden Girls" will not be the same without Barbara. Her long- term friendships with Mary Gilliland, Jeanne Haben and Bennie Flynn should also be mentioned. Barbara was always perfectly groomed, dressed to perfection before any outing, and loved dining "al fresco". A perfect evening for her was eating lobster or scallops, sitting outside and enjoying time with family and friends. We would be remiss to not mention her delight in traveling to the Bellagio in Las Vegas and Choctaw in Oklahoma to pillage the house with her odds-defying luck on the slots. Leaving the nursing profession, she worked with Bill building up and managing "Shutter Craft", a custom shutter business in Plano. Following her entrepreneurial spirit, she became a successful real-estate developer. Her sense of timing served her well in this new profession. Her "crown jewel" was developing Rose Hill Estates in Richardson, TX. She and Bill built their home and resided there for many years. Surviving is her husband, Bill Edmondson; sons, Mark Edmondson and Scott Edmondson, both of Austin, TX., and daughter, Nicole Edmondson, of Springfield, MO. Also surviving are her grandchildren, Aiden Edmondson and Austin and Dakota Williams. She is also survived by her brothers, Colin Larder (Marie) and Robert Larder (Margaret) her twin, Jo Birmingham, and sister Libby Bishop (special friend Dave) all in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Barbara has countless nieces and nephews, who will also mourn their Aunt Barbara. Grateful thanks are extended to her sister Libby, who provided loving and personal care in the last stages of her life. Thanks also to her caretaker, Mary Viera, for also providing needed and welcome support. Additionally, her husband and two sons were instrumental in making her last days as peaceful as possible. Barbara's go-to Charity was St. Jude's and memorials can be directed to that organization. With the pandemic still dictating protocol, and according to Barbara's wishes, a simple reception will be held at Sparkman-Hillcrest on Greenville, post-pandemic. Interment will be private.

MCCAUSLAND Harold Alexander 1952-2020 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harold McCausland on October 7. Harold passed away peacefully at home in Calgary, under the loving care of his spouse, Marion, after a brief battle with lung cancer. He took his diagnosis with dignity and courage and made the most of his final months spending time with his spouse, friends and video chatting with his family who were unable to visit due to the pandemic. Harold grew up on his family's dairy farm in Hillsburgh, Ontario, working hard helping out with the farm chores with his two brothers. His work ethic would stay with him his whole life. He fondly remembered his mother's vegetable garden and loved fresh food from the farm. He started school in a rural one-room school house and attended the United Church where he taught Sunday school. He went to high school in the town of Erin, loved cars and worked at a garage in his teens. He attended the University of Waterloo and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1976. After working for a few years in Toronto, he moved west and fell in love with the wild spaces of Western Canada, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast. He joined Petro-Canada in 1980 and had a 30-year career as an oil and gas engineer, starting with their properties in northern British Columbia, then moving to the Calgary head office, then working in offshore oil in Newfoundland and then back to Calgary before he retired in 2010 as a senior engineer and team leader. After retirement he worked as an offshore oil consultant for a year. Harold and Marion were active members of the Petro-Canada Alumni Association. In Newfoundland he met his spouse, Marion, where they enjoyed live music, seafood and exploring Newfoundland. Upon returning to Calgary, Harold rediscovered Western Canada and Alaska with Marion. They enjoyed RVing and cruising and life in Calgary in their house with a view of the mountains. His hobbies were downhill skiing, curling, ATVing, fishing, camping, and travel. He enjoyed cruising the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal and New Zealand and Australia. His favorites were Alaska and New Zealand. He was a fan of CFL, NFL, NHL, MLB, curling and Formula 1 and Indy car racing and cheered for the Calgary Flames and Stampeders and the Green Bay Packers. He loved dogs and owned several throughout his life. He loved his '76 Camaro that he bought after university and kept it his entire life. He will be remembered as a loving, kind, generous spouse, a hard-working, intelligent and good man, a well-loved son, brother and uncle. He is predeceased by his father, John, mother, Dorothy, brother, Wayne, spouse's sister, Sandra Tilley. Harold will be missed greatly by his spouse, Marion Tilley, brother and sister-in-law, Donald and Bernice, sister-in-law, Marilynne, spouse's sister, Joy Tilley, spouse's mother, Grace Tilley; nieces Janet (Dean Ruddick), Tammy (Veeron Wilson), Laura Grant (Jake) and nephew Michael (Sandy Jin); grandnieces, Jodi, Jenna, Ava and Alexa and grandnephew James; spouse's nieces, Amelia Hollett and Charlotte Sevigny and nephews, Henry Hollett and Cole Sevigny. And by extended family, friends and former colleagues. Much thanks to his family doctor, Dr. Janet Reynolds, for her special care through Harold's illness and to special friend, Brian Wells for his visits and help in Harold's final months. If you would like to make a donation in memory of Harold, please consider donating to lung cancer research.

MCCAUSLAND Harold Alexander 1952-2020 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harold McCausland on October 7. Harold passed away peacefully at home in Calgary, under the loving care of his spouse, Marion, after a brief battle with lung cancer. He took his diagnosis with dignity and courage and made the most of his final months spending time with his spouse, friends and video chatting with his family who were unable to visit due to the pandemic. Harold grew up on his family's dairy farm in Hillsburgh, Ontario, working hard helping out with the farm chores with his two brothers. His work ethic would stay with him his whole life. He fondly remembered his mother's vegetable garden and loved fresh food from the farm. He started school in a rural one-room school house and attended the United Church where he taught Sunday school. He went to high school in the town of Erin, loved cars and worked at a garage in his teens. He attended the University of Waterloo and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1976. After working for a few years in Toronto, he moved west and fell in love with the wild spaces of Western Canada, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast. He joined Petro-Canada in 1980 and had a 30-year career as an oil and gas engineer, starting with their properties in northern British Columbia, then moving to the Calgary head office, then working in offshore oil in Newfoundland and then back to Calgary before he retired in 2010 as a senior engineer and team leader. After retirement he worked as an offshore oil consultant for a year. Harold and Marion were active members of the Petro-Canada Alumni Association. In Newfoundland he met his spouse, Marion, where they enjoyed live music, seafood and exploring Newfoundland. Upon returning to Calgary, Harold rediscovered Western Canada and Alaska with Marion. They enjoyed RVing and cruising and life in Calgary in their house with a view of the mountains. His hobbies were downhill skiing, curling, ATVing, fishing, camping, and travel. He enjoyed cruising the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska, the Panama Canal and New Zealand and Australia. His favorites were Alaska and New Zealand. He was a fan of CFL, NFL, NHL, MLB, curling and Formula 1 and Indy car racing and cheered for the Calgary Flames and Stampeders and the Green Bay Packers. He loved dogs and owned several throughout his life. He loved his '76 Camaro that he bought after university and kept it his entire life. He will be remembered as a loving, kind, generous spouse, a hard-working, intelligent and good man, a well-loved son, brother and uncle. He is predeceased by his father, John, mother, Dorothy, brother, Wayne, spouse's sister, Sandra Tilley. Harold will be missed greatly by his spouse, Marion Tilley, brother and sister-in-law, Donald and Bernice, sister-in-law, Marilynne, spouse's sister, Joy Tilley, spouse's mother, Grace Tilley; nieces Janet (Dean Ruddick), Tammy (Veeron Wilson), Laura Grant (Jake) and nephew Michael (Sandy Jin); grandnieces, Jodi, Jenna, Ava and Alexa and grandnephew James; spouse's nieces, Amelia Hollett and Charlotte Sevigny and nephews, Henry Hollett and Cole Sevigny.

Much thanks to his family doctor, Dr. Janet Reynolds, for her special care through Harold's illness and to special friend, Brian Wells for his visits and help in Harold's final months.

PEDDLE The Rt. Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Curtis Ralph We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved Geoff - husband, father, grandfather, brother, servant, Priest and Bishop - but mostly friend, and above all, a child of God. His life and his work exemplified his favourite words from the Prophet Micah: "What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Geoff was born in Bonavista and was a proud Newfoundlander and Labradorian - he loved both places and he was honoured to serve and minister as Priest and Bishop in Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. He is predeceased by his parents Ralph and Jean Peddle, sister Kathryn, brother-in-law Arch, in-laws Fred and Stella Hayter, and brothers-in-law David and Vince. Leaving to mourn and to give thanksgiving for his life are his wife Kathy, son Adam and daughter-in law Magdalena, precious granddaughter Josefina, and son Benjamin. Also leaving to mourn are his brothers Gerry (Elsie), Leslie (Bernice), his sister Sandra, and their families, brothers-in-law Fred (Liz), Jim (Angie), Ray (Cathie) and sisters-in-law Marie (David), Elaine, Phyllis (Hubert), Doreen (Phil) and their families, as well as the Curda family in the Czech Republic. Also mourning his loss are his Synod Office and Church families, including fellow Bishops, Priests and Deacons, the parishioners throughout his beloved Diocese, and many colleagues worldwide. He leaves a wide circle of dear friends including Peter and Jan, Leslie and Sue, Dan, Cindy, Derm (Anne deceased), Andrew and Amy, Sam and Jill, Ed and Claudia, Jonell (Larry deceased), Hilda (Bruce deceased), Rick, and Sisters Elizabeth Davis and Geraldine Mason of the Sisters of Mercy Congregation. Cremation has taken place. There is no visitation at this time and a funeral service will be planned for when friends and family can gather. Please give thanksgiving for Geoff's life by taking the time to speak with a friend, to share a coffee, drink or meal together, enjoy a good book or a bad movie, or take a walk in nature - all the things Geoff loved. Be kind to one another. May there be many moments of grace for us all as we make our way through these bewildering and sorrowful days. Even though Geoff's light has changed- it is still everywhere and in every place. Donations in Geoff's memory would be welcomed to any of the projects he supported: The Home Again Furniture Bank, The Food Sharing Association, Roots of Empathy, Godly Play Canada, or the PWRDF.

SIMMS Ada Elizabeth RNBN, MHSA, MTH Passed peacefully away on October 15, 2020, aged 88 years, into the Loving Arms of God, her parents and her two sisters, Jean and Marjorie. Ada was born on September 21, 1932 to Charlie Simms of Fogo and Bessie Clarke-Simms formerly of Springdale. She grew up as a child in St. John's on Lesley Street, the youngest of three children. Ada moved from St. John's to Clarkes Beach in 1972 and it was there that she lived out her life until her admission to long-term care in 2015. Ada leaves to mourn a circle of family and friends whom she adored and loved until her passing. Ada was a true trailblazer who achieved many milestones in her 40 years of nursing before she retired in 1993. She was one of the very first nurses in the province to have obtained a postgraduate diploma. In 1959, Ada obtained her Bachelor of Nursing Science degree from McGill University and went on to complete a Master's degree in Health Services Administration from the University of Alberta. Other accomplishments included receiving a Master's of Theology degree from Queen's College and being recognized for her exemplary service and devotion to the public when she was named Serving Sister of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, an honour bestowed upon her by the Governor General of Canada in 1999. All throughout Ada's life she felt it was important to give of her knowledge and time by serving on various committees and associations. She was a strong advocate for changes in Newfoundland's healthcare system and especially those that would have a positive impact on the province's people. She also was quite passionate about and contributed to many other worthwhile causes such as the eradication of the exploitation of children and the prevention of cruelty to animals. Ada was a strong force to be reckoned with and a very independent woman. She loved Newfoundland dearly having said many times that this would always be her home of choice even though she had travelled and seen many other places. From a professional standpoint, Ada had contributed significantly to the Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador (ARNNL) and even served as its President from 1980 to 1982. During this time, the association carried out many ventures under her leadership such as the hosting of the Canadian Nurses Association biennial, the purchasing of ARNNL House, and the transition from basic nursing education to baccalaureate education within the province. For these and her many other contributions to the nursing profession and to healthcare, Ada was honoured by the ARNNL and given the award of Honorary Membership. Ada's family would like to especially thank the doctors and nurses at Pleasant View Towers 3SE for the compassionate care that she received over the past 5 years. Please know that the kindness you showed to her during her time there will never be forgotten. It was a comfort to us all knowing that she lived out her final days in a place that showed her such dignity and respect that she so deserved. Your recognition of who she was with regards to her positive impact on the nursing profession will forever remain in our hearts and her memory will live on in the legacy she left behind. May she forever receive all the blessings of heaven for all the good deeds that she did here on earth. Resting at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Sunday, October 18 from 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be held from The Carnell Memorial Chapel on Monday, October 19 at 10 a.m., with interment to follow at Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
