Obituary Overview
Morrison Ramsay Walker
Walker, Morrison Ramsay (nee Kyle) October 1, 1919 – January 15, 2018
Morrison died peacefully at Trenton Memorial Hospital on January 15, 2018 in her 99th year. Born in Skelmorlie, Scotland, she often recalled happy memories of her early life. The River Clyde was a major base for Allied naval ships in World War II and one day she agreed to guide a Canadian sailor, a family acquaintance who was stationed there, through Glasgow to meet his aunt. Not much impressed at their first meeting, on further acquaintance she fell in love with his laughing eyes and in November 1946 sailed on the RMS Queen Elizabeth to marry Alexander Walker in Canada. They shared a happy but too brief life together in Hamilton and at their beloved cottage in Bala until his death in 1984. Not long thereafter, she moved to Belleville where she bravely built a new life for herself and made many dear friends.
She will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her children Christine of Belleville and her husband Richard Bird, Alan of Wellandport and his wife Kim and Diane of Toronto and her partner Rob Bell. She loved and was dearly loved by her grandchildren and their partners Colin Bird and Prudence Bouchard-Boivin, Owen Bird and Carissa, Tony Walker and Kathryn McCulloch and Alison Walker and Ryan Keller. She was delighted by visits from her great grandchildren Louis and Oscar Bird, Lucille-Morrison Bird and Fiona Ramsay Keller. She also leaves her sister Violet Ferguson of Paisley, Scotland and Alex’s brother Donald Walker and his wife Gina of Ancaster as well as many loving nieces, nephews and their growing families on both sides of the Atlantic.
The family would like to thank the staff at Bridge Street Residence in Belleville where Morrison spent eight happy years. They would also like to thank the staff at Trenton Memorial Hospital for the sensitive care they gave Morrison in her final days.
A private family celebration of Morrison’s long life will be held at a later date. If desired donations may be made to the Belleville Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Trenton Memorial Foundation or charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Bay of Quinte Cremation Service, 150 Church St. Belleville.
