Cecil George Murray – Passed away peacefully at Chartwell Clair Hills Retirement Residence in Waterloo on Friday, March 1, 2019 at the age of 101. Formerly of Lambton Shores, Cecil was the beloved husband of the late Winifred Murray (2009). Cherished grandfather of Steve and Christel Ballantyne, Craig & Vivienne Ballantyne and Judy & Todd Sanders. The Great grandfather of Patti (Matt), Jeff (Marissa), Meagan, Aaron, Liam and Kiegan, Cecil is predeceased by his siblings Orville (Lillian) Murray, Margaret (Seth) Gillies and Mark(Frances) Murray.
Cecil met Winifred, the love of his life during his many trips to Florida, the beginning of a courtship that began with Sunday dinners until their marriage in 1972. Together they worked on the farm, Cecil and his Win, working hard and providing a wonderful getaway for the children to enjoy and always feel welcomed at. Cecil and Winifred were an example to their family of devotion and great companionship. Both Cecil and Winifred lived over 100 years, sharing their love as a couple for 37 of those years, working, vacationing and enjoying each other’s company. A legacy of love passed on to their family.
A service will be conducted on Friday, March 8, 2019 at 11:30am at the Pinehill Cemetery, 8460 Ridgeroad, Thedford.
