To Murray and Kyle, we want to express our sincere condolences for Ortha’s passing.
We, in the Beechgrove community, remember your mother as a very dynamic, generous and helpful person to people in need in every way. When she was living on the farm she was always happy to greet you
with cookies and cakes, something we all loved. One kind gesture after another, seemed to be her personal goal.
She will be missed by many but now is her time to begin her resting moment.
May she Rest In Peace!
Michelle and Jacques Larivière (family)

Ortha was a life-long friend to the Campbell family. Dorothy remembers Ortha as an early playmate. Mr. Dowe had a sawmill down over the hill, and Dorothy recalls the fun of going there and playing in the sawdust with Ortha. Over the years, Ortha was a good friend to our mother, Joy, and sister, Margaret. She would stop in for a visit and always to ask if she could pick up anything for them. I knew Ortha as gentle and kind, and when I would attend the yearly Cemetery Service at Zion she always made a point of finding me for a chat. I appreciated that. Our condolences to Ortha's family. Sincerely, Dorothy Cooligan and Joan Payne

I am so sorry for your loss Murray. Mrs. Bonshor was such an amazing woman. Like all others I could not wait to see her drive in and bring her Avon books. I could sit and listen to her and my mom talk for hours. Later on in life when I moved away and started my family, Mrs. Bonshor would call and check in to see how I was doing. She always made me feel so special.

I remember you, Murray, getting on the school bus as a young boy. I was a Scott girl. Eddy Scott is my brother on the Beechgrove homestead. You were sweet and shy. Your Mom was a gentle and lovely lady who used to sometimes meet your schoolbus. My husband Edmo (Kingsbury) and I offer you our sincere sympathies.

Our condolences to Murray and Kyle. Ortha was an interesting lady popping in to visit at our farm for a visit. She really enjoyed Buster and Anita's company. She had nice comments for me . She was involved in the UCW, the Beech Grove community and was very attached to the Zion church. Rest in peace Ortha. Reunited with you spouse after all these years. Enjoy him.

As a young girl when we lived on the Farm in Luskville, I remember Mrs. Bonshor coming to visit. Avon calling, This was always very exciting as were allowed to get a treat of lipstick in a pin, or fancy soaps in shapes and perfume in the shape of a Christmas ornament. Driving by her farm on the highway always reminded me of those special days. She was always dressed to the nines and her hair curled just perfect. It provided company for Mum while we looked through the Avon catalogue. A wonderful Childhood memory. My condolences to Murray and family. Rest In Peace.

Ortha used to babysit me off and on when I was a little girl.
I’m almost sure this is where I developed my love for horses!
She was a kind, nurturing woman. I always loved going to her farm.
My deepest condolences to her family.
