ALBERTA MUNRO
Alberta Grace Munro (née Wightman) passed away peacefully at the South Bruce Grey Health Centre in Kincardine on Dec. 21, 2024, at the age of 84.
Beloved wife of Vaughn Munro for over 55 years.
Fondly remembered by stepsons Michael and David, granddaughters Leila, Jena and their seven children, and by many other family members and friends.
Alberta will be remembered as a kind and gentle soul with a quick wit and beautiful smile. She loved to help others and was able to do this through her efforts as a member of many organizations. Alberta was a member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, the Hospital Auxiliary for more than 50 years, Pine River United Church and the United Church Women (UCW).
Alberta was also a very active Shriners lady. Vaughn and Alberta graciously opened their home to the Shriners after many parades and events. For 33 years they gathered together for backyard corn boils at their Lake Range home.
Sewing, baking and making crafts were a passion for Alberta. These items would be donated and sold at fund raisers for organizations she was involved with.
For 17 years, Vaughn and Alberta were partners and wholesale agents of the Toronto Star. Alberta ran the financial end of this very successful business.
Alberta had a true connection and love for cats – and cats loved Alberta. She fed and helped hundreds of strays over the years, including Inky who lived to be 22. Her grand-kitten Jax loves and misses her very much.
Being an avid sports fan, Alberta enjoyed watching many sporting events including baseball, hockey and tennis. There was always a game on when you visited their home.
The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Thomson and the doctors and nurses from SBGHC who provided excellent care during Alberta’s time there.
Following Alberta’s wishes, a private service was held at the Pine River United Church with spring interment in the Kincardine Cemetery. Donations to the Pine River United Church, Kincardine Hospital Foundation or Shriners Hospitals for Children Canada are greatly appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
Arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie & McCreath Funeral Home in Ripley. Condolences may be made online at www.mackenzieandmccreath.com.
