Obituary
McKinlay, Hannah Evelyn (nee Wright) –
Peacefully at her son Doug McKinlay’s residence in Ottawa on Tuesday, July 13, 2021 at the age of 97. Beloved wife of the late Murdoch Donald McKinlay. Loving and generous mother of Donald, Fred (Theodora), Doug, Ken (Amber), Carly and the late Jim McKinlay (surviving wife Mary). Sadly missed by many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Predeceased by her siblings Andy, Bruce, Joe, Stewart, Mary, Ida, Margaret, Essie, Winnie and Frank. She will also be greatly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Hannah was kind and light-hearted, a loving and gentle soul who loved her family beyond measure. She was a people person to the core. Her home was like Grand Central Station, always making everyone welcome. She was intelligent and talented in many areas: From a master bridge player, sewing expert, crossword queen, homemaker extraordinaire to the top salesperson at her beloved job at Birks.
Most importantly to her family, she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful and kind Mother. We are forever grateful.

Death notice for the town of: Peterborough, Province: Ontario
Hello Doug. I hope you remember me from the mid-60’s (I lived at 2090 Navaho). I just happened to catch your mom’s obituary in the Toronto Star this morning, and I wanted to offer my condolences to you and the rest of the family. I have nice memories of hanging out at your place on Navaho listening to popular records of the time. Other than your recent loss I hope all is well with you. With very best regards. Greg Iverson.
