Hattie Acton
After a long life, well and truly lived in service of others, Hattie Acton passed away peacefully on 21 June 2023 in Kemptville, her home for all 98 years.
Predeceased by her brothers Charlie, Gerry (Helen), her parents, and her great-niece Natalie, she leaves behind the nephews she adored, Ron (Nancy), David (Jesse), and Barry (Maggi) along with her dear friend Carol to miss her very much, as well as the many others she touched throughout her life in Kemptville. As a lifelong resident of her community, Hattie could not leave the house without seeing someone she knew.
Born and raised in Acton’s Corners, Hattie spent most of her working life (31 years) commuting to Ottawa where she worked as a civilian employee for DND. She was accompanied on these daily treks into the city by a carpooling group, many of whom remained her friends for life.
Throughout her commuting days she maintained the family home in Kemptville and as her parents grew older, she looked after them until they passed away. She continued her care of many others, both family and friends, on an as needed basis throughout the rest of her life. From providing drives and grocery runs for some, to providing a weekly cache of her famous homemade donuts to those near and far, Hattie was always there to provide a helping hand to those in need.
After her retirement, Hattie was a frequent visitor at the local golf course (she became quite good at it) and enjoyed curling and bowling. It was well known that she enjoyed country music and on weekends she was likely to be found somewhere in North Grenville, enjoying one of the many music events available throughout the area. If it was strawberry season, though, she would be in the berry patch, first thing in the morning on opening day to get the best berries which she then shared with anyone who wanted them.
The family would like to extend their most sincere thanks to the staffs of Bayfield Manor and Southbridge in Kemptville, whose many kindnesses and expert care extend well beyond the scope of their actual work. The kindness that Hattie extended to others throughout her life was returned ten-fold through their exceptional loving care to her when she needed it most. We are grateful beyond words.
Friends are invited to visit the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville on Wednesday June 28, 2023 from 2 pm to 4 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm. A Funeral Service will be held at the Kemptville Chapel on Thursday June 29, 2023 at 11 am, followed by interment at the Oxford Mills Anglican Cemetery. A reception will follow at the St James Anglican Church.
In lieu of flowers, if you wish, please consider making a donation to an organization of your choosing that helps people in need.
