Eleanor Mary Case, beloved wife of Peter Case of Stratford, passed away on Dec 16th 2014 at People Care Nursing Home in Stratford. She was 87 years of age. Eleanor was born on the family farm in Cotham, Saskatchewan on June 27, 1927, the daughter of the late Richard Howard Everall and the former Margaret Ethel Black. She was educated both at Cotham and Lachute, Quebec and attended Macdonald College of McGill University, earning a B.Sc. degree in Home Economics in 1949. She spent her working career as a hospital dietitian, retiring from Stratford General Hospital in 1985. Eleanor met her future husband while both were attending Macdonald College. They were married at Ste. Anne de Bellevue-Quebec on August 8, 1952. Eleanor was active in the Stratford chapters of the University of Women’s Club and the IODE. She organized club suppers for the Wildwood Sailing Club, supporting Peter in his role as Club Commodore. Her passion was to be independent and active, and she was a regular of the neighbourhood walking the family dog at dawn and dusk; unfortunately health issues had confined her to a wheel chair for the past three years. She was predeceased by husband Peter, her parents, brother Wallace and sister Betty. Left to mourn her passing are sons Michael of Toronto and Jamie (Lisa) of Penang, Malaysia; daughters Heather of Manhattan and Pamela of Vancouver. Also survived by grandson Johnathan and numerous nieces and nephews. All are welcome at the family home on Sunday Dec 21 from 3 until 6 PM at 91 Birmingham St, Stratford. Cremation has taken place.
