FAIR, Eleanor(e), nee Lyle (1933-2023)
Known and loved for her sense of humour and her ability to split an apple clean in half with her hands, Eleanor Fair was a wonderful mother, wife, sister, aunt, friend, and community member.
Eleanor was always keen for a tease, a game, a glass of chardonnay, or a dinner out. She loved her many years curling and playing bridge. She was also renowned for her bizarre dreams, brisk walking, pickles, and pecan balls.
Eleanor died from pulmonary fibrosis on November 7, 2023, at home in London, Ontario, surrounded by family.
Beloved wife of the late John William «Bill» Fair (died 1992), she was also predeceased by many dear Irish and English in-laws and close family friends (Deacons, Schroeders, and Hardys).
Eleanor is survived by her children, Maureen Fair (Wendy Shaw), Pam Chrisco (Rustin), Janis Fair (Craig Heighway), and Jamie Fair (Crystal) and her beloved grandchildren Alex and Kate Chrisco. Her nieces and nephews and extended family will miss her.
Born to Lena and Stanley Lyle, Eleanor grew up on the farm in St. Thomas, Ontario. Eleanor cherished her time with siblings Mary Beattie (Earl), William Lyle (Marion MacKenzie), Robert Lyle (Jean), Cathryn Ireland (Jack), and Douglas Lyle.
Eleanor was a 1955 graduate of St. Joseph’s School of Nursing along with longtime friends Betty Ann Mollard and current neighbour at Longworth, Fern Heslop.
Eleanor met Bill Fair, who had recently arrived from Ireland, on a blind date and they married in 1960. Eleanor and Bill loved to travel, often loading up a small car with kids and camping gear. They also traveled extensively to Ireland, England, Morocco, and China.
Eleanor volunteered for decades for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Meals on Wheels, and the London Regional Cancer Clinic where she provided soup, blankets, and kindness. Eleanor received the Ontario Volunteer Service Award, in recognition of her extraordinary community service.
Mom and her family deeply appreciate the wonderful community and loving care provided by the staff at Longworth Retirement Home.
