It is with sadness that we announce the death of Emmy Drew, age 90 years, on Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2013 at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Emmy enjoyed 25 years of fulfilling work as District Manager for Avon Products, Canada. She retired in 1982 to spend more time with family and friends.
Emmy was loved by all and made friends wherever she went. One of her many joys was shopping and doing lunch with her sister-in-law and dear friend Olga. She was also very proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Always ready with pictures and stories.
Emmy will be lovingly remembered by son John Drew, daughter Beverley (Barry Beaupre), grandchildren: Myles Beaupre (Lauren Nickas-Beaupre), Nicole Beaupre (Jamie Polhill), and Clinton Drew (Caitlan Hatch); great grandchildren: Owen Beaupre, Ruby and Emmy Beaupre, and Abigail Drew; sister Kay (Jack Masters), brothers Ed and Jim (Betty) Whatley, sister-in-law Kay Whatley, as well as by many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents Charles and Emily Whatley, husband Walter Drew in 1980, brothers Gordon, Dick, and Joe Whatley, sister Ivy Neilsen, sisters-in-law Genny and Elaine Whatley.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff on 2 North and 4 South at St. Joes for their care and kindness.
