Constance Nicoll
1922-2022
NICOLL,
Constance (nee Phillips)
of Elora, Woodbridge and
Weston, passed away peacefully at Eden House in Eden Mills on Nov 2,
2022 of natural causes in her 101st
year. (Sept 2, 1922 – Nov 2, 2022)
Known for her gracious
and friendly compassionate nature, she will be dearly missed by
everyone that knew her. Constance (Connie) always greeted
others with a big smile and a cheerful genial attitude.
Predeceased by Husband
Ken (Cyril), sons Philip and Douglas, brothers Laurence, Leslie,
Walter, and Norman, sisters Mabel and Helen. Connie is
survived by sons David and James, along with grandchildren James,
Matthew, Sarah, Jennifer and Mara.
Connie worked as a
switchboard operator for Bell Telephone in the early 60’s
and again for Aramco in Saudi Arabia in the early 80’s where
husband Ken was employed for 3 years. Connie also worked as
a guide at McMichael’s Art Gallery in Kleinburg
Ontario. Known for her near perfect grammar and spelling,
she was often asked to help with editing and composing.
After raising four sons and working hard all of her life, she
travelled to Italy for three months to advance her knowledge of
Italian history and culture, and to study the Italian
language. It wasn’t uncommon for Connie to walk
the 4-5 miles each way into town to take care of various
errands. She was frequently offered rides that she always
turned down as she enjoyed the exercise and the time to
herself.
A graveside service will
be held for the interment of her ashes along with the ashes of her
late husband Ken Nicoll (married 65 years).
