On Thursday, November 11th, 2021, Sallee Rymal (nee Lee Chaffey Lewis) passed away peacefully at the age of 90 surrounded by her family. Sallee was born on January 30th, 1931 in Brockville, Ontario to Griswoldene and Donald Lewis. She is preceded in death by her brother Donald Comstock Lewis and survived by her eldest brother William Peter Lewis.
Sallee grew up in Brockville spending her summers on the St. Lawrence River with her gang of friends who continued to gather together for summer reunions throughout the years. Sallee attended school at Havergal College in Toronto where she made lifelong friendships. After graduation she went on to work for The Red Cross, transporting for the Canadian Blood Services. Sallee raised 4 children; Clela Errington, Wren Errington, Cameron Errington and Charles Errington. She was a loving grandmother to Jocelyn Barth, Zachary Bangma and Siebrin Bangma.
Sallee had strong passions for tennis and golf. She was a long standing member of the Brockville Country Club and collected many tournament trophies. She was active in the community as a member of the Brockville Maycourt Club and First Presbyterian Church. Sallee was an adventurer and world traveller who visited every continent save for Antarctica.
To quote one of her dear friends, “Sallee always accepted all that life gave her – often without complaint. On occasion she was also a rule breaker with a measure of glee.”
A memorial service celebrating Sallee’s life will be held on Wednesday, November 17, 2021 at 2:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church, 10 Church Street, Brockville. Social distancing and masks are required for all attendees.
The service will be streamed/recorded and made available on this page for those unable to attend in person.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the May Court Brockville or the First Presbyterian Church will be gratefully acknowledged.
