Memorial Donation
James (Jim) Roy Ehler, age 72, resided at the Milford Haven Home for Special Care, Guysborough. It is with great sadness we announce that surrounded by his loving family, Jim passed away peacefully on April 10, 2021 at the Guysborough Memorial Hospital.
Jim was born in St. Francis Harbour and move to Hamilton, Ontario in his youth, where he lived and was self-employed until his retirement; after which he returned home.
Jim liked to cook and shared his creations with family and friends; he loved to play cribbage and was not easily beaten. He had a dry sense of humor and was a big country music fan. He liked gardening and fishing and taking long drives on country roads to admire nature’s beauty; especially in Autumn.
He is survived by brothers, Leon (Marie); Chester (Ada); Orn (Florence); Barry (Barbara); sisters, Rose (Colin) Turvey and Beverly (Arnold) Grady; brother-in-law, Ray Haywood; sister-in-law, Eileen Ehler; Aunt Edna MacDonald; forty-five nieces and nephews, and many grand nieces and nephews.
Jim was predeceased by his parents, John and Mary Ehler; brothers, Harvey, Michael, Ray and Clyde; sister, Bernice Haywood; sisters-in-law, Majorie, Marilyn and Norma.
Cremation has taken place. An invitation only funeral mass will be celebrated on April 16, 2021 in St. Francis of Assisi Parish at 2:00pm in St. Francis Harbour; burial in the parish cemetery. Covid-19 restrictions will be respected.
The family greatly appreciates the excellent care Jim received at the Milford Haven Home for Special Care and to Dr. Ranjini, the nursing staff and all others at the Guysborough Hospital for their care and compassion in the last week of his life.
After years of much suffering, may he now rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ and His blessed Mother Mary to whom Jim had a great devotion.
