MARY HUMPHRIES Mary Isabelle (nee Bennett) Humphries of Brussels, formerly of Walton, passed away peacefully with her cherished family by her side at Clinton Public Hospital on Wednesday, September 23, 2015. She was in her 98th year. Mary was the loving mother of Wenda Humphries (the late Robert Leatham), Elmwood; Kim Kruse (George), Bayfield and mother-in- law of Nora Humphries, London. Grandma will be remembered by her treasured grandchildren, Kathy Ryan (Mike), Jim Humphries (Kim), Chris Humphries (Sara), Shaune Stroop (Jenn Mayville), Paul Stroop, Andrew Kruse and Bryce Kruse. She will also be dearly missed by her great-grandchildren, Shane, Holly and Mitchell Ryan, Allie and Brett Humphries and Jarrett, Chayse and Pyper Humphries. Mary is also survived by her sister-in-law Marjory Humphries, many nieces, nephews and countless friends and neighbours she has accumulated over the years. Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband Stewart Humphries (1983), her cherished son Robert Humphries (2012), brother Jack Bennett (2012) and her parents William and Jean Bennett. Visitation was held at Duff’s United Church in Walton, on Saturday, Sept. 26 until the time of Mary’s funeral service to celebrate her life. Rev. Nick Vandermey officiated. Interment took place at Brussels Cemetery and a reception followed in the Duff’s United Church Hall. Memorial donations to the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation or the charity of one’s choice are appreciated and can still be made through McGlynn Family Funeral Home, Seaforth or online at www.mcglynnfamilyfuneral home.com Obituaries Continued from page 3 implementing the changes would increase the intersection’s safety and he felt the change made sense. “This speed limit reduction will provide a more predictable and uniform situation for the motoring public with respect to their expectations,” Lund said in his report, pointing out that the speed limit is reduced to 60 kilometres per hour on County Road 25 east of the village, but not to the west. “It will also provide a higher level of safety for all motorists in the vicinity of the Threshers’ venue entrance. The reduced speed on the approach to the stop sign at County Road 4 should also slow eastbound traffic and contribute to the safety of the intersection.” In Walton, the speed limit change will be minor. Currently, entering Walton from the north on County Road 12, also known as Brussels Line, the speed limit drops from 90 kilometres per hour to 60 kilometres per hour between 790 and 275 metres north of Walton and then again to 50 kilometres per hour from 275 metres north of Walton to the stop sign at County Road 25. The speed limit will now be changed to 50 kilometres per hour from 790 metres north of Walton to the stop sign at County Road 25. Lund said of the proposed change that with the expansion of Walton to the north, including McGavin’s Farm Equipment, there are a number of entrances with associated vehicular traffic, so reducing the speed limit further should increase safety in the Walton community. To finalize the changes, council will have to officially approve amendments to the bylaw to authorize speed limits in the county at a meeting of Huron County Council. Once the changes have been made official, they still won’t take effect “on the ground” until the public works department has physically changed the signs. Lund reported that there are sufficient funds in the public works budget to carry out sign changes in both Blyth and Walton.
