TIMMONS, Edward Patrick Alfred, (Reverend & Captain, retired), “Tim”, of Shawville, Quebec.
The family of much loved Rev. “Tim” Timmons, announce his peaceful passing, on July 20, 2017, in Nanaimo, British Columbia, aged 92 years. Tim was predeceased by his loving wife “Peg” Margaret Josephine Timmons (nee Allen), his brother James Timmons (Northern Ireland), his son Allen John R. Timmons and two granddaughters, Deirdre Timmons and Melissa Krause. Tim leaves his cherished family, survived by daughter-in-law Cindy (Allen) Timmons of Ottawa ON, children Eithne (Jeff) Reichert of Ladysmith, BC, Moira Timmons of Nanaimo BC, Margaret Timmons (Jim Hartle) of Watson Lake, Yukon, Sheila Timmons of Shawville, PQ, and Colin (Shelley) Timmons of Winnipeg, MB. He was much loved Grandfather to Pat, Chris, Marshall, Nolan, Tara, Bridget, Sean, Justin, Krista, Ben and Meghan and Great-Grandfather to Kate, Jamie, Alex, Lauren, Gabrielle, Marcus, Allyson, Trystan, and Konnor.
Born in Dublin, Ireland on 7 May 1925, he immigrated to Canada in 1947 on a student scholarship. He graduated from Emmanuel & St Chad, University of Saskatchewan, and was ordained in 1951 in the Anglican Church of Canada. Rev Tim Timmons served as a missionary to the Western Arctic, as a Chaplain in the Royal Canadian Navy for 19 years, and as an Anglican Minister for parishes in Hull, Montreal, Moose Jaw, Shawville, and other communities. Tim was awarded a “Vicar Emeritus” from St John’s, Islandmagee, Northern Ireland. He thoroughly enjoyed his & Peg’s time in Ireland over several years. Tim was very well read, traveled extensively and had many adventures with the Navy, with family at the “Innisfree” cottage in Quebec and at “Seaview” house on Islandmagee, Northern Ireland. Tim’s extensive library of books included almost every Irish book published in Canada! Tim enjoyed his pipe, sitting on the cottage verandah overlooking the lake, fishing in the canoe, and wandering the farm at Seaview. Tim missed his Peg in the ten lonely years since she left and we are glad that they are together again.
A memorial service will take place on July 21, 2018 at 2 pm in Holy Trinity Church, Radford, Quebec. Interment of Peg and Tim’s ashes will follow in Shawville Village Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, and in memory of Tim, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Rev Edward
