Mary Kay Steel
A message from Mary Kay’s daughter, Melissa:
My mother, Mary Kay Steel (Rombout), passed away peacefully on Friday afternoon, November 19, in the wake of complications following removal of a large brain tumour. She was able to gaze out over a spectacular Lake Ontario panorama of sky and water, listening to her favourite pieces of classical music.
My mother had a remarkable life, starting as small-town New Brunswick nurse then catapulted into Canada’s vibrant and voluble contemporary art scene while married to Luke Rombout. She was a First Wave feminist and blazed trails in Ottawa as senior public policy advisor to several federal portfolios. In her retirement, she returned to frontline caregiving and service as a member of the Women’s Institute.
She lived through the most interesting of times and travelled the world for work and pleasure: to paraphrase Mad Men Bert Cooper’s effusive tribute to secretary Ida Blankenship, she was an astronaut.
She is mourned by daughters Melissa Rombout and Aleida Rombout, as well as her grandchild Lukas Cockburn and son-in-law Lorin Russell. She expressed her wish that any tokens of remembrance be directed to the Ontario SPCA Lennox and Addington Animal Centre in Napanee.

WILLIAM PETER MAIN TRUEMAN 1934 – 2021 William Peter Main Trueman (1934 – 2021) died on July 23, 2021 in Toronto after a brief journey with cancer. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, community volunteer, sponsor, and friend. He was also a well-known Canadian journalist.
Born in Sackville New Brunswick, he began his career in Ottawa in the mid-1950’s at the Ottawa Journal. At 23 years of age, he became a columnist for the Montreal Star in New York and moved into broadcasting-first at the CBC during the 1970 FLQ crisis and later — in 1974, as Global Television’s original news anchor. In semi-retirement, he was host and managing editor of the Discovery Channel’s award-winning series Great Canadian Parks and oversaw a series of documentaries for the History Channel featuring national historic sites.
In everything he did, Peter Trueman was a larger-than-life character, not only because of his 6-foot 5-inch stature, but also because of the many lives he touched with his wisdom, humour, humility, and outspoken observations of everything from world events and Canadian history to the environment and his concerns over the changing face of journalism and role of TV news. In the early Global years, he frequently smoked a pipe, and was often nicknamed ‘the professor’ or ‘the preacher’ for his serious approach to honest journalism and his drive to explain the day’s events in an accurate and thoughtful way. He ended his nightly newscasts with a commentary and closed with the well-remembered phrase, ‘that’s not news, but that too is reality.’ He also took many young journalists under his wing, including future Global National anchor Kevin Newman, and CTV Health reporter Avis Favaro, and mentored many throughout his five-decades-long career. As one former colleague, George Wolff, so eloquently stated recently: ‘He shared so much of himself and his experience and his deep convictions with me, and with his support staff at Global, and even with the audience in his nightly commentary. We all know him for that and appreciate him as much more than a colleague; he was our friend and respected mentor.’
The future of his chosen career concerned him deeply, however, as evidenced in his 1980 book Smoke and Mirrors: The Inside Story of Television News in Canada. These concerns led to his early retirement from television by 1988. ‘TV itself, by pandering to the lowest common denominator,’ he wrote, ‘has debased North American standards to such a degree that before long, the people who want better television will have only each other to talk to.’
Peter cherished his wife Eleanor, celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary last December. Over the course of their marriage, Peter and Eleanor moved 20 times, mostly with three kids — Anne (Brad), Mark (Krithia) and Victoria (Chris)) — in tow from New York, Virginia, Washington, Ottawa, Toronto, Amherst Island, Kingston. But it was the 23 years that Peter and Eleanor spent on Amherst Island in semi-retirement that Eleanor refers to as ‘the golden years’ that the family cherishes the most. His 11 grandkids (Sarah, Leo, Claire, Eleni, Leah, Joshua, Kathryn, Martha, Devin, Eva and Grace) all remember the thrill of sitting on his knee for his semi-raucous version of ‘This is the Way the Ladies Ride’ with a loud hobbledy-hoy refrain, his tall hugs, important life conversations and gracious smile. His sister Sally and her children, Paula, Oliver and Claire also enjoyed visits and special occasions to ‘The Island.’ In 2001, Peter became an officer of the Order of Canada, and in 2013 he was also awarded the Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant achievement and remarkable service. These awards held particular significance for Peter as his father, Dr. Albert William Trueman, also became an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1974 for his work in university administration and teaching Shakespeare. But the medal Peter Trueman valued the most was the one he received on his first anniversary as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous in 1970. He would go on to have another 50 years of sobriety after that. During that time, he was a very active participant, helping and sponsoring others undergoing the same struggle, always no more than a phone call away for anyone who needed a hand. At his request there will be no funeral service. Friends, family and the public are invited to share remembrances, thoughts, photos at the website https://www.forevermissed.com/william-peter-trueman/about to help us celebrate his life. Through his studies of Canadian history, and extensive travels in Canada during his career, Peter developed a deeper appreciation of Indigenous culture and the on-going journey to a true reconciliation with all Canadians.

Douglas G. Lamb   May 12, 1929 – August 1, 2021

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Lamb on August 1st, 2021. Doug passed peacefully at the age of 92 of natural causes after spending 30 years in a happy retirement on his beloved Amhearst Island, most of those years with his beloved spouse and best friend Helen.

His fondness for biking and walking kept him in good health and allowed him a long and fruitful life. His beautiful tenor voice will be remembered by all who heard him sing sacred songs, anthems and light opera in churches and choral groups.

Doug leaves his sons David and Peter, their spouses, 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

He will be missed,

Obituary of Margaret Mooney (née MacKay)

Margaret Mooney died peacefully on Thursday, February 18, 2021, at the Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KGH) after a short illness, just shy of her 90th birthday. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Edgar Mooney, as well as her sister Laura Patriciu. She is survived by her brother James MacKay, her children David Mooney and Sheila Mooney, David’s wife Emily (née Way), and David and Emily’s daughter Clara.

Margaret graduated from Acadia University and was a teacher at QECVI for several years. She and Edgar were long-time members of the Kingston Towners square dance club. After retirement, they bought an RV and travelled around North America, enjoying the fellowship of their friends in the Roadrunners and Glowing Embers trailer clubs. She was the family genealogist, researching and collating data for both sides of the family, and transcribing every stone in Hillside Cemetery in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. She even travelled to Ireland to visit the Mooney family homestead!

Margaret was a faithful lifelong Presbyterian. She was a founding member of Trinity Church in Amherstview, where she was pianist and later a member of the choir. In her later years she attended St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church on Amherst Island. Even in her final days, she took great joy from singing and listening to her favourite hymns.

The family appreciates the care and kindness shown to Margaret by the staff at The Windsor Retirement Residence during her final years.

Because of COVID-19 restrictions, there will no visitation or service at this time. A Memorial Service will be held after travel restrictions are lifted. As expressions of sympathy, the family would appreciate donations to St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Amherst Island.

Arrangements are entrusted to Payne Funeral Home, 178 Main St., Odessa, ON K0H 2H0 (613-386-7373). Online condolences may be placed at www.paynefuneralhome.com

MARY ELISABETH BEST

June 13, 1926 – September 30, 2020

Mary Liz died peacefully in her own bed with family by her side on September 30, 2020. She is survived by her children Andrew (Dipika), Elisabeth (Peter), and David (Carole), her grandchildren who she adored Emma (Max), Zoe (John), Margaret, Robert (Jackie), Emily (Matt) and Wallace, and by her stepchildren Joan (Stephen) and Allison (Hugh). She was predeceased by her first husband who died tragically in 1980, and by her second husband John Fisher. Predeceased by her youngest son James Stuart and by her sister Margaret Glass.

Mum was on form until the end. Earlier in September Mum allowed she was feeling in a ‘muddle’. Asked to explain, she retorted “Muddle. M-U-D-D-L-E”. She lived a full life with family and friends, especially on Amherst Island before the ‘ridiculous turbines’. Her passions for the outdoors, for her gardens, her chickens and their eggs secured from numerous raccoon incursions sustained her through too numerous tragedies. She has a strong moral code, a steely spine, a tart tongue (especially where poor grammar was involved) – but above all a big heart that embraced all.

In her late months she was supported by wonderful caregivers at Kingston Personal Support, especially Courtney, Lacey, and Maria.

A celebration of her life will be held in better times.

Dad continued to give back during his retirement by volunteering at Armstrong Funeral Home and Northland Pointe and enjoyed spending time with kindred spirits at Niagara’s Ole Time Fiddlers. Dad took pride in all the organizations he gave his time to. The family would like to thank Northland Pointe LTC for their care and compassion of Colin, especially those on Starboard unit. We would like to give a special thank you to Staff Sargent R. LaPlante from NRPS who went above and beyond having regular visits with Dad, showing such respect as always calling him Chief and was responsible for organizing the recent recognition with the Township of Wainfleet and NRPS for Dad’s many years as being Wainfleet’s only Chief of Police.

BURKE, Stanley 

Stanley Louis BurkeIt is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Stanley Louis Burke who passed away May 28 at age 93, after living an extraordinary and happy life. An original thinker with a passion for adventure, Stan was a genuine newsman who always sought the truth behind a story. Loving and kind, he will be greatly missed by his family: wife Peggie Coulter Burke of Amherst Island, Ontario; his children Brian, Kerry, Holly and Randy Burke of Vancouver, British Columbia; step-children Diana Coulter, Carolyn Coulter and Sheila MacNicol; as well as 13 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and his former wife Daphne Burke.

Born in Vancouver, Stan was a proud graduate of the Little Flower Academy, St. George’s School, and the University of British Columbia. During the Second World War at age 21, he was one of the youngest Canadian naval captains. Later, he became a CBC newsman, foreign correspondent and anchor of The National News. Throughout his career, he contributed to many important international stories such as the construction of the Berlin Wall, meetings at the United Nations with Nikita Khrushchev, former premier of the Soviet Union, and the ground-breaking environmental documentary, The Air of Death.

He did relief work during the Biafra civil war, and was on the original board of advisors for Pollution Probe. He authored a series of satirical fables, was owner and publisher of the Nanaimo Times, helped start the float house community on Granville Island, and was always an eager partner in pranks with brother Cornelius, in businesses like Bogus Enterprises, “dark and difficult deeds done, lips sealed, pigeons holed…”

In his latter years, he worked on a book inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s theory of communications. A celebration of Stan’s life will be held Wednesday, June 1, 2016., 2 pm at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Amherst Island. As Stan always signed off: “And that’s the news.” Donations welcome to The Alzheimers Society or World Wildlife Fund.
