OMEGANS of 1949-50

Those of us who love her regret to tell you that Virginia Ann Eckersley (nee Heppler) died April 12, 2014, in Burlington Hospital. Born in Kitchener, Ontario on April 26, 1931 to Lordeen and Carl. Married for more than 60 years to Patrick Eckersley, with whom she shared an interesting, well travelled and mutually devoted life. Mourned by her eldest son Mike, his wife Sheryl Smith and their children, Meaghan (Mike), Kristen (Kevin) and Patricia (Garrett). Virginia was a year ago ecstatic with the birth of Charlotte, (Mike and Meaghan), the family's first great-grandchild. Virginia is predeceased by her beloved son, David. Service to be held Saturday, May 24th at Bethel Chapel, 1172 Britannia Road, Burlington, 2 p.m. Reception to follow. Virginia, a widely read woman, viscerally understood forgiveness and reconciliation; she lived the parallels: peace and love.
