Born in London, England on May 23, 1928, Coralie had a full life. After the war she attended secretarial school. She later joined the Women's Royal Naval Service and was stationed in Cornwall. Coralie then did her nursing training at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and went on to do her midwife training in London. She met Duncan on a nursing assignment in Sudbury, Ontario and they were married in England in 1964. She moved to Montreal and had a busy life raising 5 children. Coralie and Duncan spent their time between Montreal and Amherst Island where they built their retirement home. Coralie retired to Amherst Island with Duncan in 1983. She was actively involved in the Women's Institute and St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. She joined the art group, took T'ai Chi and was active in island life. She moved to Cedarvale Lodge in Keswick, Ontario in 2016 and made many friends. Always singing and being dramatic with the residents and staff, she proudly took on the nickname of "Broadway".
Coralie was kind, caring, very outgoing and had a great sense of humour. She loved music, flowers, gardening and having a cup of tea with friends. She will be sadly missed.
Many thanks to the staff at Cedarvale Lodge and to her dear friend and caregiver Ann Marie.
