WYMAN, VELMA BEATRICE (BARTON) - The death of Velma Wyman, wife of the late Malcolm Wyman, occurred on Sunday, February 2, 2014 at her residence in the Carleton Kirk Nursing Home. Born June 5, 1918 in The Range, Queen’s County, she was a daughter of the late Willard and Bridgette (McNamara) Barton. Being brought up in the country, Velma enjoyed being surrounded by nature; she enjoyed fishing in her younger years, and as she aged, she would watch the birds and squirrels from her window. She loved to knit and read, and adored cats. Time with family was important to Velma, and they will all miss her dearly. Velma is survived by her daughter, Ruth Toole (William); grandchildren: William Toole, Marion Anderson, Gloria Toole, Jennifer Wyman, and Andrew Wyman; several great-grandchildren; one great-great-granddaughter; and several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her son, Roger Wyman; granddaughter, Janice Toole; great-granddaughter, Samantha Toole; sister, Opal Barton; and brothers: Joseph Barton and Alexander Barton.
