HARRIETT FIDELLA D'ORSAY (nee Trenholm) (Del) (July 13, 1916 December 13, 2003) After a brief illness at St. Joseph's Health Centre, Del passed away with courage and serenity. Harriett was predeceased by her husband of 51 years, Seldon Edward (Ted) D'Orsay. She was a wise and caring mother and will forever be remembered for her love and guidance to her two sons, Lawrence and Alan and her daughter-in-law Carroll. 'Ginga' provided unconditional love for her grandchildren Michelle, Stephen, Matthew and his wife Tina, John and his wife Renee, Brooke, Sara and Robbie and they in turn were devoted to her. Del provided years of love and companionship to her friend Sam Darling. She had a passion for her family, her friends, her church and for life. She will be fondly remembered by all. The family would like to thank the staff at St. Joseph's Health Centre for their care and kindness.
