Obituary, uncited, Dorothy Hopkins Addison Scrapbook, transcribed by Marilyn Irish Mrs. Roy Woodhouse-
It is with deep regret that we report the sudden passing of Mrs. Roy Woodhouse, who died at her home in Parry Sound on Tuesday, February 16, 1954. The late Mrs. Woodhouse, eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Addison, was born at Silver Water, Ontario, on May 19, 1902. Twenty seven years ago she was united in marriage to Roy Woodhouse of Dean Lake, living there for one year before coming to Parry Sound, where she spent the remainder of her life.
Entering the teaching profession in 1919, she taught school in Northern Ontario till she married. Re-entering the profession in 1942 she taught school in Foley township until her death.
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C.H.G. Peto from Trinity Anglican Church on February 19. Interment followed in Hillcrest cemetery.
Those left to mourn her loss are her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Walter McKinnon, (Aileen); one son, Bert; two sisters, Mrs. S. Cull of Toronto and Mrs. E. Forester of Silver Water, and two brothers, Edgar and Jack Addison, of Silver Water.
The pallbearers were Wynne Ritchie, Stanley Tonkin, Frank Peachey, Roger Alexander, Robert Ramsay and Charles McAlister.
Dorothy Hopkins Addison Scrapbook, transcribed by Marilyn Irish:
Appreciation Resident of Foley Township were deeply shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. Roy Woodhouse on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Woodhouse taught school here for several years at the old No. 2 and recently at the new consolidated school at Otter Lake. Although she was not a resident of this township, she played a very conspicuous part in the community life here, and made a host of friends.
She gave unselfishly of her time and talent to further the interests of our children, and the community in general, and many times appeared on the scene when she did not feel fit. Her passing leaves a gap that will require some time and effort to fill.
We of this township owe a debt of gratitude to her memory and wish to express our heartfelt sympathy to her relatives and friends, who also must feel a great loss.
