WILDA EDITH (SPEIRAN)
KEYS
Wilda Edith (Speiran) Keys of
Listowel, and formerly of Atwood
and Brussels, passed away at
Caressant Care Nursing Home,
Listowel on Friday, March 30. 2001.
She was in her 94th year.
Born in Grey Twp. on Oct. 19,
1907, Wilda was one of seven
daughters in a family of .1 2 of the
late George and Wilhemina Speiran,
the granddaughter of Reverend
Watts, the pastor of the Methodist
Church in Henfryn and the beloved
wife of the late Harold Keys, whom
she married Feb. 27, 1926.
Harold and Wilda farmed on the
14th of Grey from the time they were
married until 1960, when they
moved to London, and during this
time they had four children, a daugh-
ter Joyce and sons Murray, Jack and
Rodney.
The family lived in London. for
three years and returned to live in
Brussels, where they built a home.
Wilda commenced working at
Campbell Soup and was employed
there for 10 years. The couple then
moved to Atwood and built a home
there.
In 1983, Harold and Wilda moved
to Maitland Terrace in Listowel and
stayed there until moving to the
Caressant Care Nursing Home. In
1994, Harold passed away.
Wilda and Harold enjoyed their
many friends and were active with
social functions including card
games, dancing, curling and lawn
bowling.
Wilda will be sadly missed by her
sons Murray Keys and his wife
Shirley of London, Jack Keys and
his wife Rita of Shelburne, and
Rodney Keys and his wife Linda of
Washington State. She was the dear
sister of Isabel Noble of Hanover
and Norma McNair and her husband
Bill of London. She was also loved
by her grandchildren Rhonda
Douglass, Todd Keys, Kent Keys,
Guy Keys, Bill Keys and her six
great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her
daughter Joyce and sisters Gertie,
Iva, Bertha, Mabel and brothers
Stanley, Ross, Ernest, Hilton and
Earl.
Friends were received by the fam-
ily from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Sunday at
the Schimanski Family Funeral
Home, Brussels where the funeral
service was conducted in the chapel
on Monday, April 27 at 2 p.m. with
Rev. George Russell of Calvary

grandson Charles Keys. Pallbearers
were cousin Glen Pride, grandsons
Kent Keys, Todd Keys, Bill Keys
and his wife Nuala and their son
John Keys,
Spring interment will be in
Brussels Cemetery.
As an expression of sympathy,
memorial donations may be
made to Calvary United Church,

Women run for senior wellness centre
Three women from the Seafortlf
area are making great strides in sup-
port of an innovation Centre of
Excellence 'for Senior Wellness at
Seaforth Community Hospital.
Dr. Carotin Shepherd, Faye Murray
and Lynn Devereaux, who have each
qualified to run in the April 16
Boston Marathon. will use that event
te fundraise for the wellness centre.
With Huron County's aging popu-
lation, the initiative, which is sup-
ported by the Huron Perth Hospitals
Partnership, is seen as an "add-on" to
services already provided at the hos-
pital.
There are three major principles for
the centre aside from the possible
expansion to the faCility. There are
plans to offer a comprehensive inpa-
tient assessment unit and art outpa-
tient department with clinics for foot
care, audiology, alternative medicine,
exercise programs, arthritis and
evening educational classes. A thera-
peutic swimming pool may also be
included. The ,final aspect is an out-
reach and education component for
geriatric medicine students from the
University of Western Ontario.
The marathon undertaken by the
women will be a big boost for aware-
ness of the fundraising campaign,
dubbed Running for Excellence.
Local schools will also get
involved in Running for Excellence
as the students are encouraged to
complete 26 laps during physical
education class. Those accomplishing
the feat will be eligible for one of two
prize packs. Murray, Devereaux and
Shepherd visited Seaforth Public
School Tuesday morning to speak
about the marathon and the fundrais-
ing campaign.
A community event is planned for
April 8 at which time residents can
show their support through donations
as well as participate in a training run
with the women.
Anyone wishing information on the
fundraising campaign or interested in
sponsoring the women in their
endeavour, can contact co-ordinator
Selena Anderson at 519-527-0320 or
sch.foundation ® hphp.org. Donor
cards will also be mailed to everyone
in Huron East and Blyth.
For their service
At the Brussels Legion Branch's annual awards night last weekend, several past officers
received medals and bars for their service. From left: Linda Bird, Sandra Josling, Jo-Ann
