Ailsa Gregory

AILSA MARION GREGORY November 24, 1919 October 11, 2009 On Sunday, Mom left her earthly world to join her heavenly Father. Waiting for her are her parents, George and Isabel (Sinclair) McLean; her son, Colin; and the love of her life, John Gregory. Mom left to mourn her son, Ross of Rosetown, his wife, Laurie and their children, Marion and Rob; Colin's widow, Lenore of Burnaby and their daughter, Meghan; John's brother, Ken (Jill) Gregory, Ken's daughters, Sue (Peter) Barlow, Judith (Guy) Donaldson, Penny (Errol) Albon and their children; along with other various relatives in New Zealand and the United States. Mom was a regal, loving, gentle woman that loved art, her books and her church. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren and their visits. Mom was born in Christchurch, New Zealand where she studied to be a Dental Nurse. During the war, she met John. Married after the war, John's job later took them all over the world. After living in Los Angeles, Boulder and New Westminster, BC and travelling through Europe, the family settled in Saskatoon, in June 1965. Mom obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts and started to work as an interior designer. She later left that profession to start work for the Saskatoon Public Library where one of her favourite jobs was working on the Bookmobile where she met many of Saskatoon's residents. After her family had spread, Mom later moved to Oliver Lodge where she had her last Art show. At the time of her passing, Mom was a resident of Porteous Lodge where she was still entertaining her friends. Mom will be sorely missed and as per her wishes, a private family service will be held.
