A memorial service will be held at
St. Joseph’s Kingsbridge Centre at
2:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 22. We
are gathering at Petrie Park in Port
Albert, 4 Central Wellington St,
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh Twp.
(behind the Port Albert General
Store) at 5:30 p.m. that evening to
share memories and celebrate
Gwen’s life (in case of inclement
weather family and friends will be
received at the Kingsbridge Centre).
At 8 p.m. we will parade down to the
beach to pipe down the sun in
honour of Gwen.
Donations can be made to Petrie
Park in Gwen’s name care of the
Port Albert and District Recreational
Society (PADRS).
In addition to these details,
Gwen’s family would like you to
consider the following. We know
that Gwen was loved by many and
we anticipate a large crowd. Parking
may be an issue at both venues.
Please carpool if possible and be
prepared to walk a few minutes from
your car. We ask that parking in front
of the Port Albert General Store and
at the beach be reserved for those
with mobility needs.
We understand that the way we
have chosen to celebrate Gwen will
make for a long day and people may
have distances to travel, accessibility
issues and young families. We want
everyone to be comfortable and
enjoy this celebration. Feel free to
take a break from the planned events
in order to change, eat, hydrate and
celebrate Gwen in your own way. Or
simply attend the part that is most
important to you.
Friends and family may sign the
book of condolences at
