VERNA ELIZABETH MINNIE
TUNNEY
Verna Tunney of Brussels passed
away at Huronlea Home for the
Aged, Brussels on Friday, Feb. 5,
1999. She was 84 years of age.
Mrs. Tunney was born in Grey
Twp. on Oct. 14, 1914, the
daughter of the late Amos and
Olive Wickie. She was the beloved
wife of the late Harry Tunney.

more about you and the people
around you than you know
yourself.
When people are sick and go into
the hospital, they are in there to
recover and expect people to
respect their privacy. Most jobs
have some kind of confidentiality
aspect that should be followed. It is
bad enough an employee of the
hospital tells people you're in there,
but it gets worse if an employee
starts spreading gossip about a
recovering patient. When the
patient is well enough to be out of
the hospital, before going to other
treatment, people see this and know
nothing about his/her life and start
gossiping because him/her comes
to visit.
Eventually it will catch up with
the person especially when the
accusations are false.
This isn't the first time something
like this has happened. I
experienced some hard times in my
life a few years ago and had to be
hospitalized. The only people who
knew of this were my parents and
grandparents. As I was recovering I
knew that being in the hospital,
everything is confidential so no one
would know I was there or the
reasons why I was there.
However, I thought wrong.
Someone approached my mother
with concerns about me being in
the hospital. What this person had
heard was all gossip. I found out
that a hospital employee had
broken the confidentiality aspect of
her job, with nothing but vicious
gossip. I even went to the hospital
board.
No matter who you are or what
you do, there will always be
someone talking about you. There
is nothing you can do about it. I
guess that is just the nature of most
people.
However, when an employee at a
hospital breaks the confidentiality
part of her job, and gossips about
you, I think it merely pathetic and
frustrating.
All I know is I will be strong and
keep my head up because the truth
eventually comes out.
