July 23, 1924 – March 15, 2014
Legere, Oressa Elaine (nee Tucker) – July 23, 1924 – March 15, 2014. Mom passed away on Saturday, March 15, 2014
at Wentworth Lodge. Predeceased by her brother Harold, 1971 and husband Alonzo (Al), 1991, her sister-in-law Joanne
(Walter) and her brother-in-law Pat (Marie). She was a special sister-in-law to Caroline Ott, Joy Murray (Brian) and
their families. Loved mother of Bonnie McNab (Jim); loving grandmother to Greg (Chris), Janet Yates (John) and caring great gram to Gaby and Ali McNab, Nathan and Matthew Yates. Mom and Dad came from New Brunswick in the
early 1950’s, settling in Dundas, but never forgetting their “down home” connections. A proud Maritimer, she loved family gatherings, children, music and being in the church choir. In her later years she became an avid lawn bowler, continuing into her early 80’s. Staff at Wentworth Lodge have been providing mom with great care since 2008, appreciating her essence, understanding her cognitive changes, and our family thanks you. Friends will be received by the family on Wednesday morning from 10:00 a.m. until the time of Oressa’s Service at 11:00 a.m. at the Cattel, Eaton & Chambers Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas. Interment St. Augustine’s Cemetery. If you so wish, donations to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated by the family.
Dear Bonnie & Jim,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Our thoughts will be with you on Wednesday. It was nice meeting you and Jim, and enjoyed our walks and talks in Myrtle Beach. Hopefully we can get together sometime at home.
In friendship

So sorry to hear about your mother. She was always so much fun at the Dundas Lawn Bowling Club.
Dear Bonnie,
I have very positive memories of you and your family. Being neighbours and fellow “maritimers twice removed”. Your mom was always such a friendly decent gal. You two were great friends. Mom and I remember always seeing you two together. Mom sends her thoughts and love to you and yours. You are a good daughter and friend.
Just heard your sad news. Thinking of you and your family.
