Gretta CHAMBERS

SHe ws a wonderful human being

I just heard about Gretta's passing a few days ago and while I haven't seen the family in many years, I have very fond memories of her, and an appreciation of her significant contribution to a family of great achievement. My sincere condolences to Suzy, Geoffrey, Mike, Simone and Bill.

Geoffrey Chambers and all the members of the Chambers family,
Please accept my belated sincere condolences on the passing of Gretta, a truly amazing woman and an inspiration to many including me. I was privileged to have met her thanks to you Geoff. Sincerely, Elisabeth Riley, Retired Hospital Executive and team Trudeau candidate, 2015

Geoff and family: I'm going to miss your mother. She was a guide and inspiration for me, as she was for so many. I wish you courage and comfort as you go through this difficult time. I hope you take consolation in the knowledge that she was one of the greatest ladies this country has known.

Our condolences to you all. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Pat & Frank

Dear Mike, Judy and family. Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your beautiful Mother. We see that she had a very accomplished career & full life.Our thoughts are with you. God bless.

Geoff and all your family: Gretta was everything a Canadian can be and perhaps should be; she led by example. My father worked with your Mom on several McGill and U of T issues/committees and was always proud to call her a friend. My thoughts are with you and your family today .... a beautiful Fall day in Quebec especially for her funeral and a celebration of her life.

Deepest condolences to the family. Gretta Chambers was an amazing woman. A woman of tremendous accomplishment and warmth. We all always had some much respect for her. She raised a great family.

To Simone, Mike, Bill. Suzy and Geoffrey, and families:

I will always cherish the many memories of our mums in your kitchen laughing as they prepared food for virtually the entire lake at our annual bonfire. On occasion over the decades to follow, I popped in unexpectedly; the house itself may have morphed, but your mother could always be found preparing masses of food for family and weekend guests. I felt honored to jump in. Her wisdom and sage advice on any conceivable topic brought me closer to my own mum, and help shape my life's path.

Thinking of y'all today and wishing we could all be together again. If you ever come south, I'd love to cook for you!

Gretta was my inspiration as a teenager in Magog, my solace when my mother died in her forties as they were best friends, and an amazing example to us all of a brilliant, compassionate, hard-working, empathic, and energetic woman who embraced all disciplines, transcended centuries, and whose spirit continues to live with us now. I am not sure "rest in peace" is what she wanted since she had so much energy! But I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the immediate family. Julia

Dear Chambers children, as I have always called you (and us).
So sad to hear of Gretta's passing and sad not to be there with you tomorrow. I was always amazed at how kind, thoughtful and generative Gretta was, no matter how busy with work, food or the fifteen other people who were vying for her attention. She gave me a great deal of strength in my own career aspirations, lots of relationship advice and I am so grateful for how close she was to my mum who loved her dearly. The world will miss her. Thinking of you all and would love to reconnect. You can find me on Facebook (though with little info) if any of you are ever out here. Love to everybody.

Such a great lady! Our sincere sympathies to the entire family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. May mercy and peace and love be increased to you during this sad and difficult time. Jude 2.

To Charles Taylor, my inspirational philosophy professor, and all of the Chambers family, I extend my sincere condolences on your loss.
Having worked,years back, with indefatigable and dedicated Gretta in support of Egan, I learned from and respected her as a staunch and strong advocate. We shall miss her.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I had the immense privilege of getting to know Mrs. Chambers while teaching at ECS. She was an incredible role model. Praying for all of you as you face this difficult time. Frances, je pense à toi....

Suzy, Geoffrey, Mike, Simone and Bill;
Dawn joins me in sending sincere condolences.
A more stable force you could not have had in your Mother. I remember her dishing up scads of food for the debating dinner table filled with family and friends, seemingly with ease. An accomplished woman yet I was never overawed in her presence.
As my mother,Joan, would have said " What a gal!".
May her legacy endure in you and her grandchildren.

Suds and Dawn E.
