CALDER, ELIZABETH MAE SECORD - With her usual courage and grace, Liz passed away peacefully and with dignity on 23 January, 2004 after a gallant battle of more than six years with cancer. She was surrounded at her bedside by immediate family and friends. Her remarkable intellect, modesty, keen insight, gentleness, and capacity for care and love will be sorely missed. Liz was born in Moncton, New Brunswick, on 5 April, 1941, the eldest daughter of Grace Secord and the late Gordon Secord of Lower Millstream, NB. She began her educational career as a teacher at schools in St. George, NB, and later in Lachine, PQ. After receiving a B.A. from Acadia University in 1964, she was awarded an M.A. from the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1967 and a Ph.D. in Psychology in 1978. She served as Assistant Professor of Psychology at Christopher Newport College (Now Christopher Newport University) in Virginia in 1971-73 before moving with her family to South Carolina. In Charleston, SC, she rose to become the Coordinator of Psychological Services for the Charleston County School District. Following another move to the Greater Toronto Area in 1981, she was employed as a School Psychologist for the Peel District School Board from 1981 until her passing. She became a Registered Psychologist in Ontario in 1982 and maintained a private practice locally for several years. Outside her profession, she loved gardening, was an avid keelboat sailor for several years, and enjoyed nature, rural areas, and seashores. Perhaps most of all she loved her two grandchildren. Although the years passed and her life path took her elsewhere, she never forgot her roots in the dairy farming region of Kings County, NB. She chose to end her days at home in the little house near Lake Ontario that she had come to love so dearly. For that, and for the relative ease in which she slipped away, we are eternally grateful to Dr. Douglas Mah, to the nurses of Spectrum Health Care, and especially to her oldest sister and dearest friend Ruth, and husband Garry MacLean of Moncton, NB. The entire family wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to nurse Dave Burrage of Spectrum Health for his gentle care, professionalism, and sensitivity, and to neighbours and friends who have been so helpful and supportive. Liz is survived by her mother Grace, her husband Dale, daughters Nancy Catton and Andrea Calder, son-in-law John Catton, grandchildren Kaitlyn Cole and Andrew Catton, sisters Ruth MacLean, Susan Lutes, and Margaret Vallis. Funeral services, arranged by Skinner and Middlebrook Funeral Home, were held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, 28 January at St. Andrews Memorial Presbyterian Church, Port Credit, Ontario, with Rev. Dr. James Cooper officiating. Following cremation, her ashes are to be scattered over the surging tides of the Bay of Fundy back home in Atlantic Canada.
