Marion (May) Ash

Passed on: August 19th, 2014

Passed peacefully away on August 19th, 2014, May Ash at the grand age of 96. Born in Ayr, Scotland. May married George Ash (Royal Newfoundland Regiment) in the Auld Kirk in Ayr on August 17th, 1945. He predeceased her in 1998. Leaving to celebrate her life are her daughter Rosemary Ash and grandson Lorne (Heather) Atkinson. May will always be fondly remembered by a large circle of family and friends, especially her British War Bride "sisters." She was instrumental in creating the Rose and Thistle Club to help the brides keep connected in their new homeland. Their special bond remains unbroken. Through her work with the YWCA, St. Andrew's Society, Folk Arts Council, Medical Secretaries' Association, and Royal Canadian Legion, May gave a helping hand to many. May also organized many Burn's Night Supper, and always knew where to get the haggis. In 2007 she received the Governor General's Award for Caring Canadians in recognition of her volunteer work. Her cheerfulness and positive outlook brightened the days of all those whom she came in contact, including the caring staff and volunteers at St. Patrick's Mercy Home. Their kindness and support were much appreciated and will always be remembered. Funeral Service will take place at St. Andrew's Church at 2 p.m on Friday, September 5th with reception to follow at 1 Salvage Creek Road, Logy Bay. Private interment at the Field of Honour, Mount Pleasant Cemetery. "May the good Lord bless and keep you until we meet again."

Lord, make me an
instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
