Nana Banana

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Nana - Ella May Watling. The undeniable matriarch of the family, she went peacefully on February 19, 2010. With sixty years at 612 Kelly Road under her belt plus countless family dinners for birthdays, Thanksgivings, Easters and of course the epic Christmas celebrations, it was time for her to pass the traditions on.
She may have been small but sure was mighty - making an impact and leaving quite the impression on whoever met her with her spirited warmth, love and laughter. Known as 'Nana' to just about everybody, she will be sorely missed. Survived by her four children: Louise (James W.), Gerri (Colin), Margaret (Vic) and David, grandchildren: Gordon (Lil), James P. (Ryan) and Jacquie and great grandchildren: Kendyl and Callum, we will make sure that we keep our glasses at least three fingers full of rye.



We love you, Nana.

Thank you Iain.
Definitely devastating but we are celebrating with a big party in her name. Like she wanted. :)
Lots of music, dancing and drink.

What wonderful memories Nana left with you, Jacquie. We were fortunate to meet her at your parents home a number of years ago. Our sympathy to all of you.
