David Page
1931-2020
With gratitude for a long life well lived, the family of
David Page announces his passing on September 23 at the age of 88
years.
Predeceased by Edith Annie Page (née Rymill), his
loving wife of 56 years and mother of their 4 children. David and
Edith worked side-by-side building their family life
together.
Survived by Marjorie Ethel Page, his loving wife, cherished
companion and caregiver of 10 years.
Beloved father to Barbara McKee (James), Terry Page (Linda
Fletcher), Michael Page (Andi), Joanne Hallman (John) and their
respective children and grandchildren.
Beloved stepfather to Janet Palmer (Mike), Dianne Wilhelm
(Steve), Sharon Kenkel (Len Taylor) and their respective children and
grandchildren.
Survived by dear siblings and remembered by the families of
Rose Faith (Ernie), Anne Taylor (John), and Doug Page
(June).
Predeceased by dear siblings and remembered by the families
of Henry Page, May Page, Jean Rublee (Ron), Austin Page (Suzanne), and
Reggie Page (Marilyn).
David enjoyed being outdoors as much as possible.
He could be found in his hardwood bush cutting trees for firewood,
clearing trails for the tractor, hammering stiles and hanging buckets
for sap, tilling soil for vegetable gardens, working in his beloved
flower beds and cutting grass. If time permitted, he spent the
remaining hours in his workshop turning bowls on the lathes and making
sawdust.
In later years he enjoyed travelling with Marjorie. They
visited family and made several trips to Hawaii to visit
David’s nephew Richard.
David battled cancer and kidney failure for a great number of
years, which finally forced him to slow down, but not stop. Just this
spring he bought a new tiller attachment for his tractor and with the
help of family, put in his last vegetable
garden.
The family will be personally contacting friends and
relatives regarding a future celebration of life for David to be held
at the family home.
Those wishing to make a donation in David’s memory
are asked to consider donating to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital
Foundation.
