It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Eleanor on Tuesday, September 19^th, 2023, at Victoria Hospital following a brief illness.

Daughter of the late Dorothy & Frank Bailey.  Dear sister to Jack Bailey (late Virginia), late Bill Bailey (Lois), and late Margaret Sanderson (late Graham). Loving Aunt, unending source of Juicy Fruit gum and special memories to a host of nieces & nephews.

Ellie was a lifetime member of Dundas Street Centre United Church and the UCW.

Ellie possessed a kind and gentle nature.  She was thoughtful and always concerned with the needs of others.  Alongside her life-partner Fred, caring for others and giving back to the community was of great importance to Ellie.  She was a long-serving Sister of the Philanthropic Educational Organization (PEO), Chapter G, past Residential Chairman of the United Way, and volunteer with the Women’s Auxiliary at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Fred and Jackie wish to thank the staff who took care of Ellie at Victoria Hospital and Waverley Mansion.
