Ouida Ramon-Moliner Obituary
Born in Waterford, Ireland, Ouida wished, from an early age, to be an anesthetist and to have four children. She succeeded in that and in so much more.
After training in medicine at Trinity College Dublin she immigrated to Canada in 1956 and met her husband, Enrique Ramón-Moliner, a neuroscientist. Together, they contributed to the exciting development of science and medicine in Quebec. They both joined the newly founded Faculty of Medicine in Sherbrooke (CHUS) in 1967 where she taught and worked until 1995.
Ouida never really retired and long after ceasing to practice medicine, she continued to be a resource for the community, notably serving on the user's committee of the CHUS well into her 80's and by volunteering in many other ways. She enthusiastically supported local cultural and artistic activities until her death. As a pioneer in environmentalism, she naturally tended to reduce, re-use, and recycle before it was commonplace, acting locally but thinking globally.
She leaves behind her loving family with seven grandchildren, many close friends and a whole community of people who were inspired by her boundless energy, commitment and determination to improve her corner of the world.
A non-religious informal remembrance service will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 201 Main Street, North Hatley, on Saturday, February 29th at 2 p.m.
The family asks that donations in memoriam be made to local or national organisations working to preserve the environment such as the Massawippi Foundation. (massawippi.org)

Blue Massawippi
February 27, 2020
It is with profound sadness that we learn of the passing of Dr. Ouida Ramon-Moliner.
Mrs. Moliner was involved as a volunteer with Bleu Massawippi for more than forty years, more specifically on the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors, between 1981 and 2015.
An avant-garde determined and tireless environmentalist, Ouida distinguished herself at Bleu Massawippi by her scientific rigour, her involvement with young people and her extraordinary dedication. Her perseverance and resolve throughout four of the five decades of Bleu Massawippi's short history made her the living memory of the organization.
Mrs. Moliner did not shy away from any task. Analyses, sampling, record keeping, and fundraising activities held no secrets for her, but she preferred action and work in the field. She will remain an inspiration for all those who love Lake Massawippi for a long time to come.
To her family, we offer our sincere condolences and the expression of our deepest gratitude.

Ouida, Sweet dreams. Thank-you for your generous spirit. I am happy I saw you in October at Uma's birthday party. I am glad you got to transition to the spirit world from home. What a life well-lived! Much love to Marie, Carmen (Bunny and Chickie), Peter and Michael.

She will be greatly missed in our community. She was always interesting to speak to with and her approach to golf was a positive attitude. My sympathies to the family.
