Elfrieda was a member of the Royal Canadian Navy in the 50’s, leaving it to raise a family. She supported Ken in the 70’s and 80’s in the operation of Ken’s Auto Body Shop on 1st Ave. West in Owen Sound. Elfreida took the leap at 50 years of age and went back to Laurentian University to obtain her degree in Social Work and proudly launched a new career. She later served as a Commissionaire in the Owen Sound area for many years. Elfreida had a love of cooking demonstrated by her collection of more than 300 cookbooks and was a long time member and supporter of the Women’s Institute in the region. Also interested in family genealogy, she collected memorabilia and stories to add to the family trees.
A Spring service and interment at Zion Cemetery near Hepworth, will be arranged. As an expression of sympathy donation to the Heart and Stoke Foundation would be welcome. Messages of condolence can be sent to ewilliton22@gmail.com
